I predicted 77-51. My margin of victory was only off by 1. What is incredible to me is how focused they have been all year, especially given it is really still a relatively young team. I don’t think it matter whether it’s Kimball or Amarillo...BU plays like that and they aren’t losing. And one thing about the Dallas teams when they play Houston teams...I think a lot of times they out-tough them. That’s a belief that is held by many by the way. But when they play Beaumont or Port Arthur, that ain’t happening.

It’s actually worse - $2,600/mo (15x40x52/12). This might be the best argument I’ve heard against the proposed hike.

Correct. As I’ve always said on this board, it’s about the kids. Err on the side of the kids. Thanks for acknowledging!

And to break this down for you - if you believe his father and what he’s posted on this board, the kid’s transfer was legit. If you believe Huffman and the other little men, it wasn’t. So to say you can’t imagine they would vote against a legitimate case, you ARE pretty much calling the young man’s father a liar. You can’t have it both ways. But it’s cool. There’s no secret where your bias comes from either.

Yes I can’t imagine how in the world they would have any ill will towards HF 😂🤣 And those big dummies at HJ shoulda pulled their heads out of their behinds and voted against the kid too! Lord knows Huffman would NEVER vote unjustly! Yep, you nailed it champ.

Except when you say “evidently they believe in following the rules,” you ARE making a statement that they are right (and implying you know enough about the facts to make that statement). Thankfully, there are upstanding men like the HJ administration who voted in a noble manner. Unfortunately, they were the exception to the rule. But again, congratulations* to Huffman.

But again, congrats to Huffman on their first Regional Championship *

Negative. They believe in manipulating the rules to not allow a kid to play for a public school for which he zoned. And where he has lived for many years. You continue to try to justify their cowardly vote, even after admitting you knew little to nothing of the faces. In essence, you are calling this young man’s father @Cardinal 1, who is also an educator, a liar. It is a breath of air all right; a breath of west Texas air when the air is blowing just right from the fertilizer plants.

Surely not. They don’t even believe in players switching schools who have always lived in a particular district.

It is just a better conference with more money and exposure. But with the three best athletic programs in the conference bolting, the Southland drops to the bottom of the barrel. Lamar is fortunate to get the fourth invite (ala Baylor working its way in the Big 12 with Texas, A&M and Tech). Word also is that the WAC is looking to move back to FBS in the near future, which would up the money considerably obviously.

Lol

Lamar beats McNeese today for the season sweep. In so doing, they not only qualified but earned a first round bye in the conference tournament. Great job Cards and Coach Price!

Completely agree. There are levels to this game. That’s the right level for him. As I’ve said on here many times, the college coaches generally get it right.

Pretty impressive Cole is back in the semis after losing their all world 7 footer to La Lumiere in Indiana before the school year started. If Vince were still there, he would have been the best big in the state, regardless of classification.

Looks about 5-9. Not sure what he’s listed at. As far as weight, no idea but he’s not scrawny.

He would have a lot more options for sure.

He signed with Trinity - D3.

Gilder did last night with 2 freshmen and 2 sophomores.

I thought New Waverly would be a solid favorite against EC. I guess they might have been.

Last nights battle of the titans between defending 6A champ Duncanville and #1 ranked Waxahachie took place in Waxahachie’s own gym. D’ville coach David Peavy and Wax coach Greg Gober flipped a coin to decide who would host the regional final, with Waxahachie obviously winning that toss. Unfortunately for the Indians, it wasn’t enough as Duncanville advanced to the state semifinals for the 3rd straight year. It got me to thinking - although this is highly unusual it isn’t unprecedented. The Mojo of Odessa Permian used to love flipping for home or home in the football playoffs. It is an interesting concept vs two teams fan bases traveling to Houston area (as happens here occasionally). Peavy’s logic is kids today are used to playing in gym’s all over the country so there’s no such thing as home court advantage. I suppose as long as tickets are equally divided (and your kids are high level players like D’ville - I.e., playing all over in summers), he may be right. Certainly last night he was.

Exactly. Nijal played great but Toe was doing whatever he wanted before he blew that knee. Kimball had no answer for him. That was a huge blow to the team’s psyche when he went down.

Idk - they had the toughest opponent in the regional final and led by almost 20 going into the 4th quarter. And they puked it up. You could have put them 1 or 2 but they were definitely one of the top teams in the state. Unfortunately for them, they picked a bad time to lay an egg.

No one can convince me the Jags wouldn’t have won if Toe doesn’t go down...

I know. That’s why I’m saying the semifinal will be the de facto championship game. Best two teams left playing squaring off.
