If I'm not mistaken HJ has a freshman this year that looked to be about 6'5" when I saw him in the stands at a game last year as an 8th grader.  Believe he has to sit this year due to transferring, but looked like he needed to fill out a little anyway before being ready for varsity ball.  Nash, am i correct?  This kid exists, right?  Or did I dream him up out of wishful thinking?

I think I know who you are talking about.  His brother was playing JV for HJ last year.  He went to school in Beaumont last year.  If it IS who I think it is, he is going to be a very good one.  He was every bit of 6'5" as an 8th grader and has a very good mid range shot.

pretty sure he was at another school and transferred in, and has to sit a season.  Could be wrong 

no idea whether that applies to HS.  I think he went to Marshall.  I know he was voted team MVP on his 8th grade team.  Name is Clayton Carpenter.  Great kid from a great family.  Like you mentioned, a year of JV ball will probably benefit him in the long run.  Never hurts to boost confidence and HJ has a lot returning.   Regardless, I can assure Hawk fans you will enjoy this kid's time at HJ in every aspect.  And none more than Coach Davis.  This kid is very coachable with a great attitude.  And never hurts to have something you can't coach - height.  And plenty of it.

Great kid! I've known the family for years also and he will be a pleasure to coach for Coach Davis.

    • Sorry sir on my miss count. I was in hurry
    • Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita. 
    • I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆
    • Smith is 78-31 overall and 18-8 in the playoffs. His first three years he went 23-15 overall and 6-3 in playoffs. His Silsbee teams are averaging making 3rd round every year in his 9 years as head coach.
    • Wishing everyone a great Thanksgiving!
