i was told by student that Atwood is on varisty at Central. 

i wouldnt have high expectations of Boyd.  lets see if he can keep his grades up and his attitude and lack of discipline in check. Anybody know where Atwood off of last years 8th grade king team is at?

i go with the first philosphy Was the qb rotating with the 2nd and 3rd string qbs?  i believe i know the answer to this, but if im wrong let me know.

that is true...  but learning all skills makes you more valuable are more productive.  a 6'4" guard can post up vs man in D1 if theres a slight mismatch and he has good post skills.  So what about 6'8" and above kids.  If you learn the skills and can perform them in a game and be productive on a consistant basis, you [b]may[/b] have a ticket to the NBA...because it is so scarce.

i always believed in the inside out approach to a game.  It also gets the team in foul trouble, gets your team in the bonus, and its free points if they can make FTs

If HF comes out like they did against LIBERTY, then i believe it will be a good game until halftime and then WOS will wake up.  I know LIBERTY is not that good, but the way HF came out They were flying around and looked quick to the ball on Defense.  I wasn't expecting that type of play and execution from HF.  WOS wins it

ahhh. all the bigs now wanta play point forward.....shoot the 3 and cross over finding a big like, Hakeem, Robinson, Shaq, Howard, Ewing, Barkley (though not a big by height, but played like a big man) Kareem, etc.......  few and far between.  almost a dying breed.

golden triangle area.......      i don't know the houston area or its teams that well

[/quote] all of the other significant players from that KING team went to ozen....  only one im not sure of is ATWOOD [/quote] I don't know the freshmen @ Ozen but I am wondering if any will make an impact on the Ozen JV team? Ozen's 9th grade team (JV NOW) could use some extra help. [/quote] Yes there are at least 2 maybe 3 that will make an impact.  One is really good, but has issues with grades and attitude......and the mom aides it

i agree he is the best post player in area, very smart and fundamental as well.  But there aren't many other descent post players in area.  So it wouldnt be hard for him to be the best.

yes hj did beat kingwood park ...i was there.....  it was a great game

I was referring to the weights for those that are fortunate enough to play at the next level...start your strength training after basketball season so you'll be ready by your freshman year of college

Dallas Kimball will likely repeat....sorry Central peeps.  Beaumont always has athletes and thats how they win....  Kingwood Park will be tough, because they are so disciplined and very well coached unlike beaumont.  I would like to see them and Nederland square off

[/quote]Zach is good but don't tell him I said it. :D [/quote]BOOM! Busted [s]2[/s] [s]days[/s] 3 days in a row!  ;D Zach is a good shooting guard, and he has shown improvements with his ability to get to the hole. He's played point guard mostly over the past 2 years  because he handles the ball better than anyone else on the team. He is going to do whatever is best for the team to win. I think he is more of a 2 guard, and that's where universities will need him to play if he gets an offer at the next level. His defense and foot work need improvement, but his outside shooting is what colleges will want him to do. I admitted on a previous thread that I don't know what it takes to play D1 basketball, so I don't know if Zach has 'it'. For now, I'm sure he is focused on the present and enjoying his senior season with his friends/teammates. I thought Kelvin Smith was good enough to play at the next level, but i think colleges saw him as a 'tweener'. I also thought Prudhomme would have received offers to bigger schools too. My point is that I really don't know what it takes to be a D1 or D1AA player. [/quote] The one thing that English really needs for the next level is STRENGTH,  Hit the weights son. [/quote]I agree sir. I don't know is weight, but he needs to put on 10-15 lbs of muscle to get serious looks. However, the way college coaches emphasize strength/weights, he could add that in one off season, easily. [/quote] Yes sir  they will definitely do that they did the same to me, but i had wished i had that weight strength already.  would ve gave me a better chance of moving up on the depth chart against the already returning sophs, juniors, seniors of the college team who already have been going through strength training. as a freshman try working out (like you never have before) for 2 hours and then go straight to the gym to shoot when your arms are like noodles, those sophs juniors seniors will already know about this.

Kountze......  Central has another year before they make it.  Nederland though fundamentally sound i believe there best shot was last year and thats past.  I forsee Dallas Kimball winning it again...they only lost 3 seniors

don't forget about East Chambers.

im an alumni of HF and i still attend alot of the sporting events there.  I came up when Tarver was the HEAD COACH and HEAD COACH HE WAS.  THere has been a culture change......and its due to most of the parents of these spoiled children.  PARENTS stop brown nosing with the coach, super, school board members, etc, etc.  Super, principal, school board members, parents......stay out of the coaches ear.  You hired the guy to do a job, he's gonna do the best he can with what he knows and has avaliable to him.  He didn't take the job to lose, he took the job to turn the program around and win.  all you parents think lil johnny is an all star......sorry but most of you are all wrong.....  your children are going to fail sometimes and get replaced sometimes.....let them.....its a life lesson.  in the real world you don't do your job you get fired and replaced or demoted.....its life....let it happen if you got beat out of a spot then you were good enough, so train harder and give more effort, be smarter and you can win your spot back. This stuff didn't happen near as much when Tarver was coaching....
