[/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....

yes i ve seen hoop dreams [quote name="BADSANTA" post="1254353" timestamp="1346294989"] Kind of like spending 2000 on 22inch rims when your car is worth 600 dollars. [/quote] Exactly

PAM must of forgot who graduated last year from their team.  And yes it makes a big difference when key position players graduate. not saying PAM is gonna lose, but i know its not going to be a blowout. I won't be surprised if a Central squeezed this one out

not talking about NBA players, talking about High School Kids when i was in high school.  Whose parents live in goverment housing, food stamps,,,,live off the goverment cause they don't make enough, but yet some how can afford to pay for basketballs shoes that cost hundreds of dollars.... kinda like spending money on 22 inch rims, but not spending it on groceries priorities all out of wack

i ve played in a pair of addidas, nikes, reeboks, etc for 40 to 60 bucks and out hooped most people who had on jordans, lebrons, kobes, etc. its a status thing, and its ridiculous.

[/quote]Will any be able to make an "instant impact" for Nederland this year on varsity, thereby challenging the upperclassmen? [/quote] NO

Pearson should at central

Wiesbrod will more likely play baseball at the next level.  Wiesbrod good kid good fundamental basketball player that i enjoy watching.  But as far as next level for basketball....maybe at a juco or a division 2 or 3. and i wish him all the luck in the next level. Some people on this site have an emotional attachment to a team and/or player.  YOu gotta see through that to make an accurate assessment of an athlete.

EC's area of concern is LB on Defense I see a deep run, but they will need some things to go their way to make it to state. But overall, a very good football team.  I was fortunate to coach all those kids when they we re in junior High.  A great group of athletes and young men.

Its not's EC defensive you have to worry about this year, its that All state running back.  Though their defense is good, their LB area is an area of concern.  I see EC winning this one

jarrod guillory from ec is a sophmore

wow is all i can say about coach of the year. I believe English should have gotten this.  Had less to work with, lost alot of seniors and no one expected them to do as good as they did.

who won out of the jv s

yeah....nederland had a good couple of years.... but central and ozen are about to be the two fighting for top spot some very good underclassmen coming up in both schools anybody know where Nigel from King is going.....im thinkin OZEN

tru

gotcha ya ;)

to all you ozen fanatics Bou was a great coach but he also had Perkins and several other D1 players on his team. So without perkins they don't win state. Yall act like because they had some very successful years there that it should be that way every year.  Players like that come every so often.  YOu can't win state every year. Lets be honest OZEN hasn't had any legit D1 players in several years, so guess what your[b][u] not going to win state[/u][/b].....yall wanna blame the coach but heck he can only play the players that come out for the team. IF saveat had perkins and those players yall would be saying he was a great coach...... IN two to three years OZEN will win district and they will have a team good enough to make a state run.... [quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1189463" timestamp="1330612971"] There was NO perkins or any other really big time players on the 2007 Ozen team that marched to state.  Explain that one, 5gallonbucket. [/quote] I said "WIN STATE"  they didn't win it.  IM not trying to take away from their accomplishments.  THey did really well that year with less talent than BOU had....that says alot.  and im not saying you can't win state with out D1 players, but its highly unlikely in the 5A and 4A divisions.  More than likely there will be atleast one D1 caliber player I mean take away those D1 players from BOU's teams and what do you have. Soulja and Bluedove your missing the point with my post or you do get my point but wanta try to debunk me on minor details of my post.
