ST413

There has been a lot of talk on strength of schedules this year.  The Tigers  schedule was tough and they have 4 wins over teams that are still alive in the regionals this weekend: 4A Ozen, 3A Pleasant Grove and H-J and 2A Kountze.  Hopefully these will have helped the Tigers to pick up a couple more wins this weekend!

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1188485" timestamp="1330492675"] OK, HJ crew....which game is first on Friday? and what time will the caravan be leaving?  8) [/quote] Tigers play at 6:15!!

Do you remember what number the tech for Navasota,  heard they did the same thing against us.  I heard it was #45,  they were wondering if it was same player.

I don't know anything about Athens, except for them getting their star back recently.  From looking at the score tonight,  it appears they play a deliberate game.  If the Tigers get to running it could be a long night for them.  If that is their style and its a slow game,  it could be interesting.

Good win for the Tigers tonight and a great effort by Coldsprings.  Someone asked about Coldsprings speed.  Their had enough speed to keep the Tigers off balance.  The Tigers speed tonight didn't really appear to be a very big advantage.  The defense never got going to start a good run and the time or two it looked like we were going to Coldspring hit a shot to stop it. One thing tonight, if either team would have shot free throws well they would have won.  Neither team shot them well at all.  Danti Wilson did hit 4 in a row,  I believe at the end to seal the game.

I don't know about the soaring and roaring tonight.  Sounds like both were surviving.  Way to go Tigers and hawks.  Oh and Lions too.

Comparing scores isn't a verygood comparison but if you are going to throw it out there Kountze es only the Tigers 4th game with just 10 days of practice since 9 of our 12 played football. A little advantage iver Coldsprings but not much.

Now with saying that, I can see where Wise's involvement in AAU could lead speculation that he has a way of recruiting through said involvement.  But maybe it just gives these kids and  their parents a chance to see him in action and therefore decide to transfer to Yates.

So basically open enrollment and a magnet school are pretty much the same thing.  If you transfer into the school,  you sit out either time penalty and then you are eligible.  So either one could be "recruiting" by reputation.... So I can't see Yates as being guilty of anything unless it can be proven that a coach recruied ,any more than any other school with one of those designations and a good history...

OK,  what is the benefit of being declared a magnet school in general not athletically?

Does being a magnet help justify or allow some athletes to attend the school?

That sounds like quite a big loophole.

I have remembered this about magnet schools from the past and had been wondering about it. This is the statement from the prvious alignment: (4) Multiple High School Districts with schools in more than one conference, one of which is a magnet school. A multiple high school district with schools in more than one conference, one of which is a magnet school, shall have the magnet school placed in the same conference as the high school in that school district with the largest enrollment. A magnet school is defined as a high school within a multiple high school district where all students participate in the magnet curriculum. From  [Hidden Content] I had been wondering why Ozen, and Central were allowed in 4A instead of 5A.  Are these schools not considered true magnet schools or what is the true meaning of this rule.  I noticed many of the Houston schools including Yates this year listed as magnet,  but by how I am taking this rule they would have had to be in 5A as well.  Can anyone explain this rule statement.

Weak districts!

If it wouldnt have been put out there and defended like there wa no doubt he wouldnt have been called out on it.

Hmmm didn't I hear that there would be no playoff games at the Montagne due to vandalism?

according to the bracket the regional final is at 6:00.  Has it changed? I know in the past they have changed the times

Great game.  Good win for the Tigers over a much bigger team tonight.  Great play inside by our big men .  We have to start making our free throws and get a little better start to these games.  Great defense once again.  Just need to keep our cool and stay out of foul trouble.  I don't know what kind of year BR's big man has had but the Tigers frustrated and completely kept him out of the game.  Good win guy keep it up.

Two great games and two great wins!! Congratulations Tigers and hawks!

[quote name="Wildcatter" post="1185415" timestamp="1330146818"] BR was horrible from the outside, had at least 8 air balls from the outside.  The thing I will say about Silsbee is they have got to get better at the FT line.  They made some down the stretch but I will be interested in seeing what the final number looks like.  Never understood the double tech if any one can explain.  Both shot ft and BR got the ball.  But they got the next jump ball as well.  Overall good game. [/quote] I was sitting right behind the scorers table and heard the ref explain to Coach Sigler, that it wasn't a double tech but two succesive with ours being the last.  therefore no change in the possesion arrow.

A lot of running up and down the court and little scoring.

They have been lucky to be in this game so far. The blow out is about to take place. [/quote]I agree. [/quote] Can't hardly dribble much more really handle the ball

This game should be out of reach quickly with Seals-Jones out.

I dont know for sure, would have thought more myself but that is the number their arena rental page gives.

You  are right Sterling did beat the Tigers but it was only by six and I believe it took two overtime periods to do it.
