[quote name="Socrates" post="760439" timestamp="1266335849"] I would think Chris Wilson and company also hit that many a few times. [/quote] That was before my time.  I knew they were good.

1.  Nederland  Solid top to bottom with a healthy Bellow they will be the team to beat in the area. 2.  OF            Have the weapons to make it to Round Rock 3.  BC            Hicks will be unstoppable this year. 4.  Jasper        Bring back a lot of talent and have some young guns to fill in a few spots. 5.  LCM          I think they are the major threat to Nederland in this district.  Should be quite a race with PNG and Vidor also solid.

[quote name="gamoty" post="759986" timestamp="1266253086"] 2003 [/quote] Did they?  I remember Brackett and crew scoring close to 90 a time or 2, but not 100.

[quote name="ttownbball" post="759571" timestamp="1266088512"] 100-54 Tarkington [/quote] Impressive.  I can't remember Tarkington ever scoring 100 in the years I have followed them.

What was the score?

[/quote] I'd say scheduling with the chance to get a couple or more wins under your belt sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

Very impressive totals.  With Jasper taking the year off Silsbee stands a much better chance of making the regional finals this year. ;D ;D

Not as bad as the first time around.  What are the updated standings? Who should the 3 representatives in this district play 1st round?

[/quote] football ....... and cosmetology of course [/quote] Well in your town cosmetology was cut long ago so that one is out.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="757562" timestamp="1265753339"] As much as I hate to admit it, I think AAW 's comments make sense about changing the environment to make basketball a viable sport in the district. I honestly think the coaches want the program to be successful, but I'll talk with them about it one day. [/quote] Plenty of schools where football is king and they don't want success in other sports.  I don't know if HF is like that or not, but many are.

[/i] Or maybe even you could take your own advice and take your kid somewhere where they have a basketball coach who doesn't have to teach?? [/quote] and thats my point about the school that can't or won't, it's a priority issue, if it's important enough they'll make it happen, so....it's just not [i]that[/i] important, or....they don't know it is yet....no need to have a chip on your shoulder about it. as to you last comment.....you'd like that wouldn't you?  ;) [/quote] Only thing I want is for you to get a sense of reality.  Of course it is a priority issue academics should be the priority.  What are you going to cut to allow all coaches to only coach?

[quote name="scooby" post="757436" timestamp="1265739213"] wait a minute, HF doesn't have cosmetology? this discussion is moot then, its obvious you need to take your kid somewhere else where they still have cosmetology, my apologies. [/quote] If they did they don't any more..that is the point.  Schools make decisions based on need.  Having a basketball only coach is not high on the wish list for many schools at all.  Same can be said about cosmetology.  If all we wanted was the best for our kids everyone could just chip a few dollars here and there and keep cosmetology around, right? Or maybe even you could take your own advice and take your kid somewhere where they have a basketball coach who doesn't have to teach??

[/quote] don't we owe it to them to give them the [b]best opportunity[/b] that we can? [/quote] Hmm  let see if I understand this logic...If we want to give everyone the best opportunity perhaps we should bring back choir in our schools and make sure those teachers only teach choir, and  bring back cosmetology.  And what every happened to accounting in our schools?  We need to have Ag teachers who only teach what they are best in too.  This would give more kids a better shot at those Ag awards out there.  Why do we make any coach teach any class?  Are we going to short change our female athletes and make their coaches teach?  Why should our UIL coordinators have to teach a class?  I am sure we could get the best UIL coordinator in the area if we promised them all they had to do was  UIL.  We would start sending kids to Austin every year in UIL.  And our drama teachers they have way too many preps to do a very good job.  They need to only do drama.  That is if we want to give them the best opportunity that we can.  If we want what is best.  ::) ::) Trust me if district are going to increase taxes the last reason they need to raise money right now is so a coach won't have to teach any classes. 

Turnovers are always in large number in up tempo games.  How many turnovers you have isn't near as important as the turnover differential and who converts off of turnovers better.  I have seen Kountze teams that would bounce the ball off the wall they passed the ball so vigorously and quickly down the court.  Tons of turnovers, but it seemed for everyone they threw away they picked off two. 

[quote name="Kris_Gilmore" post="755331" timestamp="1265332507"] Just out of curiosity how many D1 Athletes have come out of HF in all sports in the last 10 years?  Not that many.  I am a coach and people don't realize how talented you have to be in order to get an athletic scholarship.  I can think of 3 or 4, and D2, D3, and Junior colleges don't count. What people don't understand is at the 3A level it sometimes takes more than being the District MVP or making it to the state meet in a particular sport in order to get an athletic scholarship. [/quote] You can't argue with a momma whose baby isn't getting playing time.  Their is no rationale for it no matter what you say.

[/quote] good points, the cleveland game can be used as a good learning experience and they can get ready to play that round 1 game like they intend to win it not just show up so your plan sounds like a good one to me. but......we can still [i]hope[/i] that splendora can pull one out against CS  8), it was a six point game last time, although i realize that was in splendora. how would that be handled IF it were to end up in a tie since the series was split just out of curiosity? [/quote] I am not sure.  It is whatever the district committee adopted as their rules and I don't know in this case.  Perhaps AAW is right and it is standard for basketball to either play (which is all I have ever seen for basketball) or flip.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="756038" timestamp="1265438771"] Silsbee called the "Dawgs" off this year. ;D [/quote] Then I will put in a good word for you all with Mixon.

Hard to fault Jasper fans for being excited after being beat 96 out of 97 times especially after you and others reminded us of how badly we got beat the first game over and over. Only 40 this year?  You must not be near as good as you were last year then :) .  Because we aren't even close to what we were last year and we sure don't have a Spikes to play the 2nd game. Honestly, if Silsbee doesn't go to Austin this year it will be a bigger shock than them losing to Jasper last year.  IMO

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="756032" timestamp="1265437968"] I guess if you only have two wins in the history between the two, you have to hang your hat on one of them. ;) ::) It's kind of hard to respect a team that has a .0204 winning percentage against you. ;D It was a very good win for the Dawgs, but as expected, they have digressed back to their mediocrity. [/quote] You take great pleasure in trashing other teams don't ya?

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="756025" timestamp="1265437257"] I'll take Silsbee's record of 96-2 over Jasper any day. ;) [/quote] I will take last years 50 point turnaround over the Tigers who gave Jasper absolutely no respect and remember it for a long time to come.  You are right that this is Silsbee's sport through the years against the Dogs.  Are they really 96-2?

[quote name="scooby" post="756005" timestamp="1265435703"] horns win 66-51, after a slow start horns slug their way back into this one and close it out the right way taking a 2 minute 5 pt. lead up to a 15 pt victory in the den, good win for ttowners, now if only they can win 2 out of the remaining 3 and splendora can knock off coldspring in their house  ;D, or could those horns run the table? while that's a tall order with indians coming in, they shouldn't just concede it, it could have huge playoff implications.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="755965" timestamp="1265432887"] Still no score from Jasper? The way those guys were talking last year, you would have thought they had this up and coming basketball program on the rise. A year later, you can't even get a score from out of there.  ::) Dawgs struggling to make the playoffs out of a very down 18-3A. Yep, 1 hit wonder. ;) [/quote] That one hit sure stung didn't it.
