I haven't been able to make it to a practice yet but from what I hear the 8th grade team returned intact so they should be pretty good again this year. I heard the 7th grade team may be a little weak but then again I heard that last year about this 8th grade squad and they turned out pretty good. Don't listen to Buddy, GCM has a strong freshman class this year and the 8th graders going in next year are just going to make them stronger. Gentry's top running back is zoned for GCM (unless he applies for one of the academys) so they're going to be tough in a couple of years. I look for a slight drop off next year, followed by a steady rise in play for the next 4 or 5 years. No disrespect Buddy, but I hope your mailboxes get stuffed with junk mail. lol. Maybe some of those Port Arthur Atheletes need to move away from that sinking ship and head this way to a program on the rise. In fact I'll start stock piling mail boxes here in Baytown. P.O. Box P8 3 oughts #1

First week of practice is over. Time to put the pads on and hit somebody.

Jus an FYI, Gentry and CBJ have their schedules up on the GCCISD website. Nothing for Highands yet. Ya'll play us on 9/29, and CBJ on 10/20.

You're in the same boat I was in last year. My oldest is in fish camp at GCM and my youngest is in 8th. Gentry's 8th grade should be strong again this year. I don't know nuch about the incoming 7th graders.

Sure haven't. Do you know who they played?

Gentry vs Cedar Bayou   7B Gentry lost ends the season 5-3 8B Gentry wins and wins district, ends the season 8-0 8A Gentry wins and wins district, ends the season 8-0 in district and 14-1 over all.   Haven't heard anything on the 7A Team yet.   Great season Mustangs!

Gentry 7B beat Dayton by 6 Gentry 8B beat Dayton by alot Gentry 8A beat Dayton by 40 Not sure of 7A yet but I heard they beat Crosby last week.   As far as records, I think Gentry 7A just has the loss to Highlands. 7B has two losses. 8A and B have no district losses.   Cedar Bayou is next on the schedule.

Gentry vs Crosby:   7B lost by four -They had a couple of kids moved up to A team to replace kids they lost and it hurt. 8B won by one - Heard it was an exciting finish. 8A won by six - Still playing without our star shooting guard, but he'll be back next week.   Haven't heard anything on 7A yet.

12 - 19 over the last two years. I'm not too heart broken about it.

Congrats, Cunningham is always tough. For some reason Gentry's B teams don't play in any tourny's. My 7th grader's not happy about that.

Gentry 8A gets it's first and hopefully only loss of the year. They take 2nd place in the Baytown Tournament beating Highlands and Cedar Bayou before losing to Huffman in the Championship game. Our star shooting guard was held out of the tourney and then our star point guard became sick during the championship game and did not play alot in the second half. That being said, the boys played with a lot of heart and gritted out two tough wins and stayed even with a strong Huffman team up until the final minutes. Good job Mustangs!

Gentry has a bye week this week, their 8A team will be playing in the Baytown Tournament at Horace Mann tomorrow and Saturday. First game is against Highlands at 6:15 friday. Other teams in the tournament are:   Cedar Bayou, Horace Mann, Baytown Jr., Crosby, Galena Park, and Huffman.   GCM, any word on your 8th grade team?

At least ya'll are winning like us. I try and focus on how the kids are improving.   How close was the game? We play Dayton in three weeks.   In fact we have a bye week next week, Crosby, Dayton, and Cedar Bayou. I haven't heard much on Cedar Bayou except that the B team went 1 and 3 in the San Jac invitational tounament.

Thanks.

Gentry 7B, 8B, and 8A all beat BH North tonight. I haven't heard anything on the 7A game yet.

Well my two have had their share of junk food already and will be getting plenty of fudge and candy over the next couple of days. Fortunately their outside burning it off playing ball on our goal.   How is your 7B team doing?   Gentry's played the following teams   7A Lost to Highlands beat BH South, Horace Mann, and Baytown Jr. 7B Lost to Horace Mann beat BH South, Highlands, and Baytown Jr. 8A Beat BH South, Horace Mann, Highlands, Santa Fe, Deer Park Fairmont, Galveston Central, Pearland South, and Baytown Jr. 8B beat BH South, Horace Mann, Highlands, and Baytown Jr.

So now that we're at the break, what's everyones record. Does anybody know the Dayton and Crosby records? We haven't heard anything from them.   Gentry   7A 3-1 7B 3-1 8A 8-0, 4-0 in district. 8B 4-0

Gentry 7B, 8B, and 8A beat Baytown JR. Not sure on 7A yet.

They finally updated their online brackets; other scores for Saturday:   Division II Silver Bracket BH South 51 Manvel Rodeo Palms 31 Pearland Berry Miller 53 BH South 43   BH South takes 2nd place in the silver bracket.   Division III BH North 46 Baytown Cedar Bayou 44 Clear Creek Westbrook 40 Cedar Bayou 39 BH North 42 Pasadena Deep Water 27   BH North takes 5th place.

Gentry beats Pearland South to take the Division II Gold Bracket Championship. Great job Mustangs.

Gentry comes from behind and beats Galveston Central 66 to 65 in OT. On to the Gold Bracket championship against Pearland South.

In 8A Baytown Gentry, Baytown Cedar Bayou, Barbers Hill North and Barbers Hill South particpating. Gentry and BH South are in 12 team division II. BH North and Cedar Bayou are in the 16 team bracket.   Scores Gentry 56 Santa Fe 6 Gentry 45 Deer Park Fairmont 44   Pearland South 45 BH South 37 BH South 42 Pasadena San Jacinto 39   Cedar Bayou 28 Channelview Aguirre 27  Deer Park Bonnette 40 Cedar Bayou 32   BH North 46 Pasadena Queens 16 Clear Creek Creek Side 42 BH North 25   Saturday Gold Bracket Gentry vs Galveston Central 12:45 at San Jacinto Junior High Pasadena   Silver Bracket BH South vs Manvel Rodeo Palms??? I think. 3:45 San Jacinto High Junior Pasadena   Cedar Bayou plays BH North 2:00 at Pasadena Queens Junior High

Anybody know any other district scores?

7B. He only played some garbage time in the fourth. Needs to work on his ball handling.   Gentry 7B, 8B, and 8A all won. Do you know who won the 7A game? I hate to see that Highlands 8A lost one of their top guards last week to a fractured foot or ankle. He's a good kid he's played football and baseball with my eigth grader since T-Ball.

Gentry 8A and B both won their games against Hoace Mann. 7B lost by 4, haven'theard the 7A score yet.
