  1. Memorial will be a solid favorite in both. The Barbers Hill-Nederland games will be interesting. Sounds like he had similar games against Bridge City and a West Brook team who just played a very good matchup with Silsbee. Wonder what could have been different? And by the way, I can list 3 guys in the last 2 seasons who played on mediocre teams from the greater Houston area that are 1) in the NBA now, 2) will be next year, and 3) arguably the best player on an SEC team. Not saying Hayden is those guys but point is even some great players don’t make every team they play on great.
  2. If you read that thread, you would know he had 33. I will also say having been at that one, he had at least 10 boards. But he was literally scoring at will as you would expect. Might could have had a triple double but didn’t get a lot of help that night. Edit: and would have been 35 or 36 (depending on the FT) but for the single worst call I’ve seen in a basketball game to date this year (in the 25-30 games I’ve seen).
  3. Why do you think Mack is so high on it?? I kid, I kid.
  4. Was Tua’s to lose going into today. Question is whether he did. Kyler has been a big enough d bag over the past week that you would think he would have hurt his chances. But the voters typically don’t care about d-baggery as evidence by last year’s winner and even Manziel. Obviously Haskins made the best late case today. If I’m voting, it would still be Tua for me because it’s an award for the season. But we shall see. Who would have yours?
  5. Hmmm. A punch to the gut or a punch to the jewels. I will figure out which is the jewels and get back to you.
  6. Very true. I have found Brian English to be thoughtful and innovative. I think he would be very successful with many different types of personnel. Some coaches, as you well know, have a certain style which takes a certain type of player to fit. Coach English has also always been incredibly generous with his time and seems to have a genuine “thirst” for the game. That is to say, like all the great ones, he is constantly a student of the game and is always willing to talk and listen to ideas about it. I also believe he genuinely cares about the kids and I know he continues to try and help former players and even kids who aren’t a part of his program. Nederland is incredibly blessed to have him and I think they have a fan base that realizes it.
  7. Freaking Sooners are going to get in again. tOSU jumped out and is now screwing the pooch.
  8. Now THAT’s a matchup I’d like to see. Maybe the two best 3A teams in the history of this great State.
  9. English is fantastic. If someone is arguing he’s not, that’s the Hefner argument, i.e., asinine. If someone is arguing Boutte or Sutherland or Sigler is better, that’s a matter of opinion.
  10. Be honest, most people see rough. Aggy sees 5 moral victories...
  11. Both are SETX coaching greats for good reason. I think there’s a difference between someone making an argument that Boutte is the best coach in the region and someone implying Hefner isn’t THAT good. It’s night and day different. One is arguable, the other is asinine. (And by the way, he’s probably not at the top of my coaching list either but he certainly has a resumé where you can make that case.)
  12. They’ve lost some games but all have been close to tough teams (except maybe Waco Midway - don’t know much about them). Their one not so close loss was to Sunrise Christian by 16. They are a prep school out of Kansas that play the likes of IMG, Montverde, etc. Most of their players are high D1 kids that need to prep for whatever reason (many times academics) and many end up at Kansas, Wichita St, etc. One thing Duncanville does have is maybe the second best player in the state behind Maxey in Jahmius Ramsey. The future Red Raider is a monster.
  13. WH may be better. Duncanville may make it to state as well. In 6A. And WH just took them down.
  14. Honestly there is no way these aren’t two of the best 4 teams. Maybe the best 2 teams.
  15. Or let’s go Georgia! I’ll even take all the SEC jock hangers waving their participation ribbons over BlowU getting in.
  16. What time is the championship game supposed to go?
  17. If you use Dish, you get what you get.
