Maybe Yates should try to win the championship at the 2A or 1A level since 4A and 3A didn't work out so well! ;) ;D

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1384101" timestamp="1362851816"] I heard there was some booing going on during the after game activities. [/quote]There was also booing during their trophy presentation. Mumford received a standing ovation while receiving their 2nd place trophy. There should be a HUGE * next to their name in the record book. 

These kids should NOT be playing in 1A basketball! Shame on ANYONE who defends this stance. Watching them play at the state tournament, it is CLEAR that they should be competing on a higher level. If anyone has watched a 1A game recently, you would know these kids are not on the same level of competition.

Madison should take this one. Should be an entertaining game to say the least.

Final: White Oak 69 East Chambers 50 Great season Bucs!!

4 min remaining White oak up 60-38

End of 3rd: White Oak 53 East Chambers 37

White Oak 51 EC 37 1 minute left in 3rd

At the half, EC has cut the lead to 31-24!

White Oak 31 E. Chambers 17

White Oak 25 E. chambers 12 EC may be overmatched in this one. White Oak is stacked with talent and execution. EC needs to get out of their press. Too many easy buckets.

[quote name="Law Dog" post="1377681" timestamp="1361508003"] So is it ok for the Nederland fans to make allegations of recruiting like the PAM fans do on the basketball board or is it only recruiting if the kid moves to Nederland? [/quote]Touche my friend! 8) However, it is NEVER a PAM fan who accuses Ned of recruiting. The one's who make comments are Beaumont fans who ASSume certain kids have been recruited and/or transferred. That's a constant topic in the basketball forum.

Very surprised Royal was able to hang with Yates. This year's Royal team was nowhere near the team they were last year when we saw them play at the Barber's Hill Tourney.

Seems like a private all boys school in Houston was placed in a higher division because the student population was just that, all boys. Might be a good idea to add a couple more A's to the Triple A Academy to level the field. [/quote] So where do you put them? AAA could beat  most 3-A schools outside of Dallas  ;D [/quote] You could put Triple A, Yates, Texas Christian and Utep and a few others in their own conference. [/quote]yep. That's what they need to do, but I won't hold my breath. What will it take for the UIL to address these types of situations which seem to be coming up more frequently Every year?

No way a 1A school has that much talent in one year. [/quote] This might answer your question. Triple A Academy is a high school division/campus of FOCUS Academies that provides academic and athletic development for the student that desires to participate in collegiate sports; junior college, NAIA or NCAA Divisions I, II, and III. Academics, Attitude and Athletics are the FOCUS of the curriculum provided to each student. Academically, the curriculum offered is based upon the continuum of developing skills provided at FOCUS Learning Academy. That is off their school website. [Hidden Content] [/quote]Interesting. Thanks for the information. Sounds like an even playing field to me. ::) I wonder how many kids from SA and Mumford are NCAA hopefuls?

There IS a difference between complaining about something and simply stating FACTS as Nash is doing. It has become very clear that some people would rather speak their opinions as TRUTHS and simply ignore the FACTS. This conversation HAS been going on for more than just a few weeks. It has been debated on SETXsports for at least 3 years now, and I doubt it will die down any time soon. After next year, Yates will no longer be 3A, but I know Nash will continue fighting the fight against Yates bc of how they 'acquire' their players. I agree that they should NOT be in 3A or 4A. If they want to 'come together' and play as if they are the best, then allow them to move up to 5A and play against the best. Maybe there should be a division where schools can recruit legally and play against each other......Oh wait, there IS a division for that, it's called COLLEGIATE SPORTS!!!

Remember you said "maybe crosby is just good this year" You ready to admit I was right about 20-4A this year? [/quote] It's all about matchups.  Maybe Crosby was a bad matchup for Ozen.  On The other side of the bracket, Central and Nederland lost to Georgetown.  How ironic was it that they made it to  the regional finals.  Sooooo, maybe they were THAT good... [/quote]Wasn't georgetown blown out in the regional finals? That don't happen to good teams my friend [/quote] If that statement was true, then the Ozen team that lost to Chris Bosh's Dallas Lincoln by 20 WASN'T a good team..C'mon, man.  Smh. [/quote]Bam!! ;) Just wait a few weeks Soulja, bc there will not be a VALID response to this FACT you brought up. However, this same topic will come back in a couple of weeks from someone else stating how certain districts are weak. DV said that 20-4A was the weakest district in the state last year, an his was proven wrong with FACTS!!  Just like how I stopped this same conversation with Cougar 14 last week when I presented FACTS when he stated 19-4A was bette than 20-4A. He has an opinion, fine. When i presented FACTS, there was no rebuttal. 8)

He needs to put on 12-15 lbs of muscle in order to play at the next level. It can easily be achieved over the summer with the right guidance and dedication. He has the skills, but lacks the physicality, IMO.

Final: Terry 58 Georgetown 37

Congrats EC!!
