What are some of the memories that stand out the most?  Most exciting games, interesting people?

 

My very first year. I was an 8 year old kid taking in the Dallas Roosevelt vs. Houston Wheatley state semifinal game which Roosevelt won 111-109. Game was in Gregory Gym and the place was electric. Jammed pack gym that had folks climbing out on top of the roof looking thru the windows watching the game. UNBELIEVABLE!! Safe to say, I was hooked.

Lot's of memories made with those trips with my father. He made 50 straight before he became too ill to go then passed away in 2010. I am just carrying on the tradition.

I'll have to come back to this thread with some other memories that stand out.

Think I was at the game.  Did Roosevelt have player named Ira Terrell in it?

I watched Eddie Owens play for Wheatley against West Orange  in a warm up game that year and Jackie Carr did not pick a starting line up until right before the game.  he simply walked past each player on the bench and pointed to a player selected at that moment to start. A close friend of mine was coaching West Orange that year and after the game, he broke his hand hitting a wall.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
