Only covering the spread

I understand

But he has taken other kids into his home in the past that aren't basketball players. This guys does do a lot for kids. And no one mentions that there IS another kid with Chris. And he isn't a good basketball player at all. He just needs a place to live.

He was placed at Central because the AAU coach in Beaumont has a kid at Central. And he wasn't being brought to Kelly for athletic purposes either. Kelly was the obvious 1st choice

DV, here's how it went down. Chris' (7'3 kid) parents sent him to America from Nigeria for a better life with hopes of basketball in his future. Chris was in school in Atlanta for the 2014-2015 school year. Right before the 2015-2016 school year started, he found out that his school shut down. Some question why he found out right before the year started and not earlier. Remember, he doesn't have family living here, mom not in the PTA... to stay on top of what's happening at school during the summer months. Hell, I would guess that a lot of parents these days wouldn't even know if their school blew up during the summer lol. After learning that the school closed, an AAU coach close to Chris contacted another AAU coach in his organization (who lives in Beaumont) and asked if he could take the kid in. AAU coach in Beaumont agreed and initially we tried to enroll him at KELLY. However, Kelly begins school 2 weeks earlier than Central and with the time that it took for Chris to make arrangements to get to Beaumont, Kelly was almost a month into the school year. After going through initial steps to enroll him at Kelly (which I was part of), it was determined that he wouldn't be able to catch up and log enough classroom hours this school year. So the AAU coach in Beaumont took him to Central, where he enrolled after the school year began. There are a lot of people on the site that think there's something more to the story, but that's simply not true. Just because an AAU coach is involved, people think it was all arranged from the start. Think about it....who else would be close to a 7'3 kid in America OTHER THAN someone involved in basketball??? Now anything that's taken place since September, I'm out of the loop on and cant speak to. He is ineligible because he doesn't live with a blood relative from what I understand. So he is playing JV until the 2016-2017 school year.

A little like the ongoing "debate" between Texan and Cowboy fans

No, if I make that prediction it will be jinxed! Have you seen my pick em results? LOL

See and I was just starting to like you lol

Straight Outta Smoke Town

So the question for voters becomes, is the win over Ozen enough for Central to leapfrog Silsbee. Its a good debate.

(-4) PA Memorial at West Brook La Porte at North Shore (-13) (-16) New Caney at Barbers Hill Dayton at Humble (-23) Porter at CE King (-31) (-26) Ozen at Baytown Lee (-28) Central at PN-G (-21) Nederland at GCM Vidor at Lumberton (-6) (-6) Lufkin Hudson at Diboll Huntington at Jasper (-8) (-18) Cleveland at Tarkington (-5) Coldspring at Shepherd (-15) Liberty at Splendora Orangefield at Bridge City (-14) Hardin-Jefferson at Silsbee (-12) (-4) WO-S at LC-M (-20) Woodville at Hemphill (-16) Pollock Central at Newton Kirbyville at Buna (-21) (-29) East Chambers at Hardin Warren at Kountze (-23) Brookeland at Zavalla (-19) (-32) San Augustine at Lufkin Pineywoods Evadale at Big Sandy (-29)

The biggest head scratcher is in the 3A-Small Private poll. Pollok Central moves from #2 to #9...bumping below Woodville after beating them by 37 last week. Not a knock on Woodville, just doesn't fit.

Trust? Feed him the ball. Catch, turn, dunk. Easy stuff on the JV level

Kelly is #7

He is playing JV. Watched him play at Ozen the other night. They may have passed him the ball three times the entire game smh.

I got everyone right where I want them. Time to make a run lol

CHSM 56 Kelly 71 Final For anyone who doesnt know who CHSM is, they played #3 TAPPS 5A ranked Concordia Lutheran to a 4 point game last week. Big win for our boys!

We were down a starter for the HCYA game and will be down a starter for tonight's game with CHSM. Should be interesting since we aren't very deep lol

Been drinking a lot?

From what I heard...it's not grades. And I would prefer not to be the one to break it. Hearsay is very touchy.

I'm just gonna wait to copy and paste your picks

A game of runs. Central fault back after being down double digits in the second half. Took a lead but Ozan fault back and came up just short. Can't point to any one thing that turned the game. Refs were pretty consistent, coaches did a good job, and the bands were great

I picked them with the points lol

What a game!
