Especially if HF continues to outrecruit EC. Quote

Regardless they have a ton of talent coming back Honestly didn’t know for sure but thought it was at least 1 and maybe 2. They will be #1 again next season, maybe wire to wire again. Quote

CowboyJeffR Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 12 hours ago, Bobcat1 said: How many starters is OF losing to graduation this year? 12 hours ago, TxHoops said: 3 maybe? Smith, Wrinkle and Rucker? Yes, those 3 starters as well as 3 guys (only Rawls got regular minutes) from the bench. So only 4 out of the 10 players that were on the varsity roster through the district schedule will be returning. Scales, Thomas, and Manning that were Sophomores and Rogers that was the only Junior.

Thanks for the info! I know they have some really good kids coming up too. And to be honest, in terms of skill and upside, after Scales, the Thomas kid appeared to me to have the highest ceiling. He looks like he could be a really good one over the next couple of years. Did a lot of things pretty well, especially for a sophomore. But they are definitely losing some key pieces. Forgot about Rawls. Wrinkle got most of the praise out of that group (and he definitely deserved it - he played really hard and was super gritty), but all 4 of those guys were indispensable in that run. Hopefully the young guys coming up will fill in those gaps. But as we discussed when he was hired, love that we have Whitmire and his staff developing those kids. Elessar 1 Quote

One of the best staffs in the area. I would guess both assistants will be head coaches in the next few years. TxHoops and catfever 2 Quote
Football_Fan11 Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Impressive run Orangefield has been on, they have been rolling for a while with multiple playoff runs. Shout out to that community & administration for making ALL the sports a priority. It wasnt that long ago basketball was an afterthought. I feel like Orangefield has one of the better small school athletic programs around. Bobcat1 1 Quote

Kdubya Posted February 29 Report Posted February 29 The 2 starting seniors on Hitchcock is McDaniel and Dorsey. bullets13 1 Quote
