Baytown Jr High Basketball

[BlackShirts5]

Well now its that time. Who all has youngsters playing ball. I have one this year. Coming over from football and it will be a big transition for him.

1st year basketball player but he seems to be picking it up. He will be on the HJS 7B team but hey I am proud he tried and made a part of the team.

Both my boys are trying out. The 8th grader will find out today what team he'll be on. I'm not sure when 7th grade will fiind out. They have a quick turn around this year. The first game is on the 20th.

[BlackShirts5]

Yea our 1st game is on the 20th also but we will be out of town. Heading to the Nebraska game in Lincoln the 19th.  

 

Ill post all our scores I can get in here.

[John Blutarsky]

Cool, enjoy the game. I'll try and post the Gentry scores as well.

 

Are there any Barbers Hill fans here that can tell me which junior high your star big man is going to. We have BH South next Thursday.

My sons first year as well. He also made the HJS 7th B or Travel Team. Not exactly sure what he made or if he will ever get to play, but we're going to give it a go.

I guess they no longer "cut" players.

[BlackShirts5]

Gcmpats My boy also made the b what ever team. He doesn't think he will be playing at all. Said he will only get to practice every other Friday. I talked to one of the teachers there that I know pretty well and said they may as well just cut the ones they aren't going to ever play. Least they know hey I wasn't good enough this year, I got to work harder next year. instead of stringing them along.

Highlands and Gentry will be very tough in the 7A group.  I've seen quite of few of these kids play in the offseason.  My boy is on the BH North team.  I think our first game is this Thursday against Horace Mann, but I'm not sure.

Come to a tournament in setx and play silsbee, Vincent, and CO Wilson and see how good you are..

I'm not about to compare our bball area with yours right now.  

I know Silsbee is tough and I would guess the toughest East side of Houston.  I'm not sure of the breakdown with Wilson / Central on the Nederland side and how their talent is split.  Our 8th graders had a tough one with Silsbee last year in a tournament but it would be hard to compete with them now that we are split.  There was some real good talent on some Beaumont/Port Arthur AAU teams I saw over the off season.

Not comparing,, just saying they have some good basketball tournament with some of those teams..very competitive

Nederland Wilson is usually the team that wins there district the last several years.I seen them play last night and #5 #4 are legit on both ends of the floor and #3 is a good offensive player.i think there 8th grade A and 7th grade A teams went undefeated last year.Silsbee is always good and Beaumont has a few schools that are very good. The Bush kid for Legacy is legit also.

Legacy only had 1 8th grader on that team against Nederland and held our own. Hiltz is a very good point guard for sure. Love the way he plays. Bush dropped 42 points against 3 people holding him at all times

[BH85]

Bush is a good player and a good kid.  42 is tough to score at any level.

[DeuceSixSuited]

Bush is a good player and a good kid.  42 is tough to score at any level.

The thing that seperates Bush from any kid that I know is his work ethic and his heart. A lot of kids that have his talent and ability have in their head that they are so good and they do not have to work to get better. At practice, he is the first in every sprint not just because he is the fastest, but because he wants to get better. He is a very special young man and I'm blessed to be a part of his career!

Yes brady b hard works pays off glad the kid practice the way he plays, I got a chance to see him play against Nederland and I had heard Legacy had a good guard didn't think  he would be that good. I also heard he came from Silsbee the guy can dribble and shoot and plays hard. I over heard his dad talking and he said Braelon, McCain, and Adams all play together if Bush goes back to Silsbee which I think he will that will be a scary backcourt in years to come.

It has always ben a crazy backcourt. Plus silsbee has kids above and below that classth cn go also. And who knows where they will end up playing in highschool :)

[Former All State]

Brady b you are correct me and my son going to Hardin Jefferson tonight I want to see the other two guards what grade is Bush is it the 8th cause that's what grade the other two kids are in I also heard they are waiting to bring them 3 up to varsity

HJS 7th wins both games against Baytown Jr. I don't remember the scores, but both teams won by 20+.

 

My son played his first basketball game ever and scored 4 points for HJS and 2 points for BJS (he got a little confused when the 2nd half started).

 

Over all, it was good to see him participate in an athletic event.

That's funny, my youngest almost did the same thing in the Gentry 7B game. He took a shot on the BH South basket. I'm glad he missed. lol

Oh, he drained the shot and looked good doing it. I guess that's better than the alternative.

[John Blutarsky]

Baytown Gentry has Horace Mann. Should be an easy one for the 8th graders. Hopefully the 7th graders make it another sweep.

[BH85]

Gentry probably won't get tested until they play Highlands for both 7th/8th

That will be next week. 8th at Highlands, 7th at Gentry. So which Barbers Hill team is supposed to be stronger North or South?
