winwin

Man, I'm getting excited again. The real sport is about to begin, roundball.

i think Young is a very good player best in the region is debatable ...and Yates will not dominate anyone this season...they dont have the personnel like theyve had in past years ....

Take it for what it is....be a homer if you want....I watch plenty of ball.  OZEN will be good and make a playoff run, but to say they are RANK #2 in the state...yeah and HF will win state. 
 

The basketball preview is embedded in all the current threads....
HF will win state behind Dove's private funding
Silsbee will win state from 2016-2035.
Central will get the death penality for illegal recruiting of third world student athletes.
Hardin Jefferson will struggle because all the players will be over weight from the addition of Sonic in Sour Lake.
Kelly will struggle because everyone says so.
Ozen and West Brook will forfeit games because of illegal recruiting by forementioned Beaumont school.
Nederland will go 0-30 because of bad lighting in gym. 
Memorial needs a communication program and fresh legs. 
Every major D1 coach will be in attendance at the Huntington Tournament.

And English being on the bench will make a pretty big difference too

Because Beaumont is closer to ATLANTA (not Africa)...sheez!!!

Inadequate communications program

I can only speak on Bellaire and Yates because those are the only two inner city schools we would practice or workout  in during the summer ball. Yates still have their communication program and haven't been to final 2 in a couple of years. Therefore, we can't say its tht program that holding up the glory for basketball. And no LED lights from what I remember

And English being on the bench will make a pretty big difference too

He will as long as Nederland is selling popcorn. He loves him some Nederland popcorn!

Nederland battled with Sam Houston until the last few minutes. It was a 6 point difference for most of the game then it got to 10 and Nederland started fouling. Nederland had way to many turnovers, once they clean that up they will be tough for any team. 

No need to recruit.  SImply improve that communications program and it will take care of itself.  Good basketball players seem drawn to outstanding communications programs.

Yall,  this reminds you of the Three Stooges minus  one,  doesn't it? 

Even HF have had a couple of foreign exchange students to play basketball the past few years.

Strong field of teams in this tournament, i see we have some local teams in it! Central, Ozen and Nederland. Good Luck!

I think depth will be a big key and a big help I remember back from 92-95 silsbee had basically 3 teams and Joe would sub in 5 on and 5 off the Tigers then we're at least 15 deep and every one could play I hope this year's tiger team is that deep it will be hard to beat a team that can keep fresh legs and everyone can play so I think depth will be a big key.

Very sorry to hear about your son.  We appreciate you sharing and he and your family will be in many of our prayers. 
I don't know Sterling at all.  I did think his teams the last few seasons underperformed.  I can also attest that a kid I know very well was not planning on playing anymore until he left.  This is a great kid from a great family who is very athletic and would be a contributor on most teams in this area.  I am happy to see him playing again. 

Team,
I tried to post months ago when this thread was first on, but for some reason I could not login.  My login and password didn't work.  Tried again this week and it worked.  Noticed the thread again and just wanted to share my thoughts.
I did have a son that wore #23.  He would be a freshman this year and likely in the program.  Instead, he is fighting a losing battle with Osteosarcoma.  When I choose the moniker he was a 6 year old playing T-ball.  Those are some memories that I will always cherish.  
I have other children (both boys and a girl) who have played sports at Vidor.  This isn't about how Larry treated my children.  My children are cursed with my gentics.  Every minute of Playing Time that they ever get a testimony that hard work and commitment can occassionally overcome genetics and that the talent pool at Vidor is often shallow.
However, Larry did a below average job of coaching as he took over the team and he detoriated into doing a really poor job.  I do not mean that as an indictment on him as a person or as him on a coach.  I am just pointing out that he lost the team, the individual players and the community and as things went South, he only made decisions that made things worse.  
I actually think that I am an above average Sports Coach (although it is not what I do professionally) and yet I have sucked it up with some of my teams.  Nothing I did worked and I made decisions that made things worse.  Sometimes it happens.  Sometimes you need a reboot.  I hope the reboot helps Coach Sterling.  I wish the reboot would have happen 2 years sooner for Vidor.

That is how I really feel.

Thanks. I thought it was the Huntington tournament at first...

Two weeks trying to catch up on academic work obviously is a no-no in some academic surroundings.

Going broke buying Kleenex.
