Separation Scientist

Girls sports are excellent at BH. Girls basketball was a State finalist, and BH softball State Champions were literally the best team in the whole nation regardless of size. Had the previous VB coach still been here, and as you say had the same results, any excuses (no matter how valid) would not float and the complaints would be loud. The reactions now seem much different to me is all I am saying.

This dismal season (by BH standards) is over. BH lost to Atascocita in first round. BH has won district for the past 5+ years. This year BH under the new coach ends the regular season at 27-16, and 7-7, tied for 4th place. Last year under the previous coach BH was 40-6.

BH beat DP, and is in 4th place by one game. BH still has to play district #1 CS while DP has #7 CF. If BH and DP could tie for 4th. Either they miss the playoffs or face a top seed in round 1.

BH 6-5, tied for 4th with 3 games to go. Could easily miss playoffs, and even if made its likely one and done.

Your analogy with QB Babin does not apply at all. Babins is a good QB but even without Babin this years team is very likely still 5-0. No close games so far. BH has had a slow but steady accumulation of VB talent during the ascension from 4A to 5A to 6A. They dominated as each step up happened. Suddenly the wheels might be falling off in 6A. I could see a small step back, but not this. Still a long way to go but BH VB could realistically miss the playoffs. Adding one "Babin equivalent" VB player would not catapult this team to 1st place. I noticed you did not claim it was an overreaction when THS99 posted "BH could be headed for a rough and unfamiliar season". I am just saying the same.

I believe we are there. BH now 3-2 in district and in 4th place. Just moving into 6A does not explain this. BH has ascended through the other classifications in recent years without difficulties in district play. Football is 4-0 in 6A as of today.

Regardless where the fault or faults lay, the buck will ultimately stop with the head coach, just the same like all coaches before. That's nothing personal against this coach, its just the way the system works. Apparently the coach looked like a great hire, and clubs or not, this team and program is not devoid of talent. In light of that, some reasonable expectations exist for this years team. Again, I hope it gets on track. There is still time for that.

Instead of me, you should notify VB fan then. This was posted above: Well, WHOEVER it is will get an entire Varsity of club-experienced players. We have talent at every position - the potential to go far in playoffs…

I hope it can get back on track soon. If MP is correct, BH is now 19-8, lost 3 of the last 4, including a 2-0 loss to 3A Columbus. Yikes. In Veen's last year, BH was 40-6...

First, I understand your general interest. WV had a great run, he was their QB, and he and his family are high profile. That said, keep in mind BH has been deemed "no longer in SETX coverage" due to its new district, and that's OK. In turn, BH just won't have the same coverage and number of posters and info here in the future. BH news and discussion will likely be quite limited ahead. I know some BH posters simply lost interest here and moved on, while some others just got tired of all the BH bashing and misinformation allowed. They had their fill of it and didn't need that BS anymore. They are gone. The bottom line is, the news that Babin has left WV is all that's really pertinent to SETX. Where he ends up (out of SETX coverage) is incidental. Again, I do understand your general curiosity. We will all know for sure pretty soon. Its just a few weeks away. That's just "my 2 cents", nothing more.

He did just say "Jasper"... At the very least it was open to interpretation, that's why I asked.

Unless Channelview were to vastly improve, just like Jasper might. If Jasper only slightly improves off of 2-8 and 1-4, it wont matter just like your example of Channelview slightly improving. What I am saying is, it really doesn't matter who improves, as long as someone does, then it in turn benefits the others. So Jasper itself is not unique. Playing a stronger schedule is what really matters. I am all for that.

I agree with all that, but that didn't answer the question. How is Jasper, specifically, making everyone else better as opposed to (for example) an HJ or Shepard if they improved? What's unique about Jasper? Or maybe you were speaking in general terms and that's not what you meant?

Interesting statement. How so? How would Jasper improving differ from HJ or Shepherd or someone else improving as far as making everyone better?

Muslims never immigrate to other Muslim countries. They always immigrate to Christian (or supposedly Christian) countries. Almost seems like its on purpose, doesn't it?? What could possibly be their reason??? LOL
