Cardinal 1

Well only one kid played JV that was supposed to be on varsity so I would assume the other kids live in the district. The one coming this year was at a private charter school and lives in H-F district. His dad works at the charter school

LOL! SBG practices at HJ facilities! The organization head is a coach at HJ! lol The coach of SBG is from Houston and is the head coach at a 6a school out there. What the heck are you talking about? SBG is HJ kids bro. they may have a few from other schools, but they are HJ kids mostly. Clay Davis Jr. plays for SBG LMBO!

H-F returns basically their entire team plus two scorers. One was on JV and probably the best player in the school because of transfer rules and the other is transfering into the school. They will be really good, but not being early ranked is fair. They will be by mid season

So are we really suggesting that all of HJ players are from sour lake? 😂 HF has one player from Beaumont that transferred and he had to play JV. Their two main players last year are from cheeks which is a Beaumont address but zoned for HF. The kid they are getting this year is also from Cheeks and was going to a charter school where his dad worked. The problem is it looks as if some folks are crying foul because they know that's what their school does. HF simply hired a coach that caused the a few of the school's basketball talent to come home. If they're zoned for HF how the heck is that recruiting?

Because some coaches enjoy only having to coach against scrubs in district with 1 or 2 good teams.

He's not from PA,Tekoa is a charter school that his dad works at. From I've been told they live in cheeks, him and his brother and sister where going to Tekoa because of their dad.

He's not from PA. His dad works there.

😂 no just some one who knows hoops both during high school season and summer. You can't deny a kid's talent when 4 ranking systems has him on it. My list was based on the players that were on those list from our area. The top 9 were on all 4 ranking systems, then you break it down by skill and stats. I don't know every player in SETX because a lot of them just play for their school and not AAU or high profile camps. Arceneaux, Yates, Porchie, Ardoin, Sears, Dorsey, Dews, Brock, and Jackson (Abrams as well he just moved to summer Creek from memorial and is now considered Houston area) all are ranked in multiple rankings, all are selected for high profile camps such as the Pangos, SW Exposure, Next Wave, OTR Exposure camp, etc... If there are other kids in SETX with those credentials then post them so everyone can see. The objective is to know all the players in our area, not criticize kids because of personal opinions.

That's Houston area

Teams lose to better teams, how a player plays against those teams tells who they are. Scoring 39 against West Hardin and 26 against Lumberton in a losing effort isn't a reflection on the player at all. He's there because of his state ranking in his class and previous two years. He's joining a team that has talent this year. Dorsey was the starting PG for HF and if anyone saw him play, they would know he's legit. Anyway that was my list and opinion, which I figure would have others post theirs so that folks could see every player in the area.

1. Arceneaux BU 2. Yates. BU 4. Ardoin. HF 5. Sears. HJ 6. Brock Lum. 7. Porchie BU 8. Jackson Ned. 9. Dews WB 10. Dorsey HF Honorable mention: Harris Silsbee, Coleman HF, Mickles WB, J.J. WB, PF from HJ

Who do you think the top 10 are in SETX this upcoming year? Class doesn't matter.

I think Ardoin at HF will be. Bigger and more skilled.

He'll get tested in district this year for sure with HJ and HF joining in their district. I saw him this summer, elite shooter. The question will be can he create and defend, or just shoot. He was locked down in the playoffs last year by HF guards

RJ Sears (HJ) and Jailan Ardoin (HF) are on the RCS rankings as well. 2022 class in very stacked as well as 2023 in SETX

BU, HF, HJ, and maybe Lumberton will be the teams to watch. Nederland and Silsbee will also be tough this year as always, just not contenders I don't believe. As far as players go, Abrams at Memorial (if he stays), BU big 3 in Yates, Arcenueax, and Porchie, Brock at Lumberton, Jackson (i believe?) at Nederland, HF in Dorsey, Coleman, their big man( don't know his name), and I believe Ardoin from Tekoa Academy will be there next year, HJ has Sears and Porter. Pretty much 4A will be the division to watch next year.

Hightower is state ranked and in the regional Tournament after beating PA Memorial and Crosby.

If schools are doing it, it's not to the extent of this. They left two teenagers by themselves to live in an apartment for athletic purposes. Now one can say that it would be the same as if they were in college, but a kid lost his life over a dumb video game. I dont think we will ever have anything like that in our area as all our schools are within close proximity of each other and most have legitimate family all over this area.

I just hope that folks don't try and hinder what's going on at HF. Man let them folks have something to cheer for. It's been a while since they had anything to pack the gym for and that crowd at EC when they played Huffman was amazing. The majority of that program is sophomores and freshmen, just a hand full of juniors. Those juniors and the one senior I'm sure were tired of getting their tails kicked by everyone. Folks just need to leave well enough alone and enjoy the games. Next season in that district will now have at least 6 highly competitive games with HJ, Huffman, and HF. Liberty isn't an easy win either

Yeah he played there for sure, I remember that.

Yeah I admit I missed a few like Ernest Caesar at EC, Mickles from WB, Jackson from Ned, and JT from Jasper. Silsbee will have some young blood next year that will need a year or two, but they will be back to rare form with that group.

Brey I know been in Silsbee for a minute. Don't know about Adam's, but it don't matter as both went there the entire 4 years plus 🤷‍♂️.

So it's Silsbee guys on here hating too? 🤔 Dang bro 😔 that's messed up.

Yeah that's already been proven to be false on his account 😂. Also that's football and a kid transfering to another school isn't a big deal at all. Multiple schools, yes, as he said "schools" not school. Basketball players transfer all the time especially with Academies and private schools.

Knowing he's willing to break the rules? HF is an open enrollment campus and that kid is a very good student as well as an upstanding young man. HF apparently was more then happy to have him enroll there, but he doesn't live in the district and he played last year at BU, so he had to sit per UIL rules. He and the other two from BU are friends and teammates in the summer as I said before. He was the only one that didn't live in the district. The other two live in the district and that's a fact. I know both of them and their families as well as the kid who will be possibly attending HF next year from a charter school and was going there for academics and NCAA eligibility purposes regardless of who was the coach. He's a ranked player who doesn't need a highly touted high school program, just one that is NCAA approved. Anyways they all live in the HF district!!!
