One of the best to ever lace em up in this area.

Must have had some kind of lineup issue. Normally has played the point most of the year. It’s not his natural position but makes sense with the personnel they have. Took over first place tonight with a pretty convincing win over Seattle. Allen scored 33. Rice with 7 assists and only 1 turnover.

Ashly posted Newton won the game on their website but apparently no one gave him the score.

Don’t sell them short. They are tremendous slouches…

Agree with all of that. And wouldn’t hurt to get hot with the 3 ball. I’m not saying they have to be unconscious but they also can’t have an off shooting night either.

Abel. I found him extremely entertaining. Loud with a sharp sense of humor.

I think so.

Teddy, not Franklin…

This is first year Yates hasn’t won its district since the Roosevelt administration…

Reyes was a late pick up on a team that needed size. He held Illinois, Fresno St offers among others. He is really, really raw but has improved believe it or not. The best two bigs are Catt and Nickerson (by a wide margin). Both have been out a bunch with either injuries or sickness. Catt was back with limited minutes last night and Nickerson is still out with mono. As a result, Brooks has had to rely on Reyes and Carpenter (a walk on) to fill that role. It’s a lot tougher in the WAC to go small with your lineups. They tried at the end of the game last night with McClure and got abused in the paint.

UTRGV was favored.

For what it’s worth, I think Mitchell has done a good job and I think that’s fairly evident, Brock or no Brock. I enjoy his antics where it pertains to the referees because I have felt that pain too many times (and it amuses me). In fact, being entertained by the coach was the only thing that made PNG basketball watchable for years. McDonald nor Jeffcoat have ever appeared to me to be guys who twist off regularly. I would say I’ve seen Clay Davis animated as well. Sure they can get worked up and lose it on occasion as most coaches can. And I can’t recall a time when any of the three has gotten animated where their team didn’t just receive a really bad call. But they aren’t in the same category. And both are really good guys (as Mitchell has been from my limited interaction with him). I have really good friends who vouch for him as well. However, if he was posting on the board as someone else talking about how great he is: that’s more than a little weird.

Can confirm. Also PG isn’t bad. Both bigs are more wings who are skilled. Both are accustomed to playing bigger, better competition than Silsbee will run out there in summer ball. Question will be whether Silsbee can wear them down with their pressure vs lack of depth. 5 on 5 with no subs, Booker T would be a solid double digit favorite. Lack of depth on their part makes this a lot closer to a pick ‘em. Imo. HJ would struggle with either team.

They did that twice. Kountze won 2 of 3 and then a couple years later, buna won 2 of 3.

Perk to LSU

I need a class with naps.

He wasn’t ever a D1 player according to some of the geniuses on here (well, one in particular). Only took him half of a freshman season to dispel that notion…

Serious question: should Big Ned have moved on from Brian English for not winning state? Because a big reason he doesn’t have a ring is his loyalty to Nederland. He has had opportunities to move on to places he would have a much better shot at a ring. Or does the state title or failure not apply to sports where it takes far fewer athletes to be successful?

Mfd sounded like he was there too?

Cool. Only 27 fouls and 18 tie balls until the boys play then…

HF 54 Livingston 45 F

I guessing a certain group of young men, got their collective behinds chewed by a certain man, for sleep walking through the first half…

How was I the first like on this one? It was funny and rhymed. Win win!

All but Oceguera basically.

We call “those seasons” just seasons.
