Average compared to whom?  Yates?  Then I would agree.  But that is a senior-laden group who play very well together.  Can they compete with the big bad Lions?   Likely no.  But they also draw from a

It's my understanding that this was only the 2nd playoff win for BC all time. Also, I cannot remember the last time Hardin-Jefferson lost in the 1st round.

If that’s never been bettered, then by its very definition, yes.  It was only the second playoff win in school history I believe.  Has nothing to do with being loose with terminology - it was a histor

Just for grins I’ll use a Houston Scarborough football team that made school history a few years back when they made the playoffs going 1-9 on the season and 0-4 in their conference. Sometimes we need to dig a little deeper into historical data 😂. I’ve beat this horse to death 😂😂

And continue to go off on your own tangent, but carry on sir 😂🤣

Their principal did, but their coach was behind it all along with the Huffman staff and assistant superintendent. I guess he thought I was nobody and folks he was cool with wouldn't say anything to me

Gotcha.  
 

I had a similar situation a couple of years ago where a very well respected local coach was playing puppet master with another school to try and keep my kid from playing.  Unfortunately for him, he didn’t realize I had known a couple of superintendents in that district most of my life. So we were lucky and it didn’t end well for those trying to improve their team’s chances by doing a kid dirty.

Excuse me I thought this was a message board. Should I ask your permission to speak? 

No - that’s why I said carry on.  You are entitled to continue to beat an irrelevant horse and confuse an objective discussion with a subjective one. It is completely your right to do so on this message board.

Thank you sir. Maybe some day I will measure up to the lofty bar you set .

You will never measure up as long as you continue to call particular teams as "average" lol 

Look his team whose coach you don’t care for is eliminated.  You just make sure if you guys get Huffman, your Lions let them know “karma is a B.”   Tell Wise when they hit a hundred, hit that gas even harder.   They are all below average compared to JY.

Yes sir I would consider BC an average team 

Based off of this logic are there any teams in the area besides Beaumont United that are not average? 

I don't think anybody gave the scarborough team you speak of credit for making  history (In a positive way) that comparison is apples and oranges to this Bridge City team.

This year is not JY Year, giving up to many points and I doubt if we score 100 moving forward in the playoffs.  Yates has to take this thing game by game.

I think you misread my logic. I give BC all the credit in the world for winning the Bi District round. They came out and played hard and didn’t quit and deserved the win. My point was the playoff format is so watered down these days that being history making isn’t always a great team accomplishment. There are several teams in our area who are above average this year. Huffman, EC, New Waverly are 3 that come to mind. I would even say when you look at an entire seasons work that HJ was above average. In the playoffs all that doesn’t count if you don’t show up and play your best basketball.

 Hard to say how high school players will react to the playoffs. They also lost one of their best players.  That did not help.

Boys? East Chambers is above average. Hard to tell how good they really are because they haven’t really played anyone . But that’s about it

The teams I mentioned are above average. They may not be San Antonio good but they ain’t shabby. There’s several 2a clubs that are above average up north of here but they are all in the same district.

      To the Fans Who Complain About Referees

      By Preach · Posted

      I get it!!  I was once in your shoes. I was that person in the stands, loudly complaining about “bad officiating.” Now, with the rise of social media, it’s easier than ever to voice these criticisms online.  I thought I could see every call better than the officials on the floor. Then someone said to me, “If you can do better, get in the game.”   That challenge changed my life. Over 20 years ago, I became a basketball official, and what I’ve learned since then is eye-opening.   Officiating is not just about making calls. It’s about managing the game, the players, the coaches, and yes, the fans. We face a new generation of student-athletes who have been raised in a culture where everyone gets a trophy and losing is almost taboo. We deal with fans who question our integrity and sometimes become outright hostile.   I acknowledge that officials aren’t perfect; we have off days just like anyone else. However, the increasing hostility from fans is driving many to leave officiating. According to the National Federation of High School Associations, approximately 50,000 high school officials have left the profession since the 2018-19 season, with fan behavior being a significant factor.    Here’s the reality: without officials, there is no game.   So, instead of tearing down the people who make your games possible, here’s a suggestion:   • Thank the officials for being part of the game. • Thank them for the countless hours they spend studying rules, mastering mechanics, and working to improve. • Thank them for their patience with privilege-minded athletes and overly aggressive fans.   Next time you see an official, instead of criticizing, take a moment to say, “Thank you.” They’re out there to make the game happen, and trust me, it’s not as easy as it looks from the stands.   If you think you can do better, take the challenge like I did. Get in the game. You might just discover how much it takes to blow that whistle.
