AggiesAreWe Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I am surprised that you think Memorial will challenge Silsbee for local supremacy over the next few years. I had the impression you thought Silsbee would be head and shoulders above everyone else in the area.Curious. Would you be this vocal about this subject had TxHoops had originally stated that PAM or Central or Ozen or West Brook would be "head and shoulders" above everyone in the area instead of Silsbee?

stevenash Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yes- but only because I have never seen this much enthusiasm for a future that is so hard to predict that far in advance. BMTSoulja1 and Skilled95 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memorial will be back on the map. I'm sure they will hire some new blood in the coaching ranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshlyHasBeen Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I would also point out Lincoln didn't play in 5A (the current 6A). Memorial is a small fish in a very large pond of talent. Lincoln also had pure shooters. I haven't seen that from PA since the Lincon days. At least not consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never scheduled games VS lower classifications because it was pointless. If Lincoln were around today, they would serve the same Beatdowns as usual. Please don't compare Lincoln to any current Team in the State regardless of Classification. If you don't believe me, check the History Books.

team first Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 The best athletes play football at mem now days. Call it a football school or whatever you want, but the best athletes or now playing football instead or basketball at PAT. Singleton was obviously the best football player, but he was also the best basketball player at that school. People may disagree , but all u had to do was watch him in the gym. David Green is a great coach but at Memorial he did not get it done, bottom line. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whsalum Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 If Coach Green has gotten it done everywhere else he has been maybe he wasn't the one that didn't get it done. Maybe it was his players that fell short. What ya think ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxHoops Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Could mindset and attitude of both parents and players play a big part in this?Big, BIG issue IMO. The Bees of Big Cam's era were junkyard dogs. Tough as nails. I see too many kids there now who are "whiny and entitled" and play a lot softer. The freshman who started at Kelly last year is a throwback to those old teams. Skilled, strong, physical, and plays all out. I think a lot of this problem does filter down from parents. It's always someone else's fault when things go wrong. Mr. Buddy Garrity, ST413 and whsalum 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxHoops Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 And it's a well known fact that the Bumble Bees of the 80s/90s were children of right wing GOP'ers. Once they flipped parties, all the kids went soft :D Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
