BEST JUNIOR HIGH PLAYER IN SE TEXAS

[BLUEDOVE3]

Personally, he should decide on the school that going to give him the best education and let sports be secondary in his decision making. And Coaches, please have these kids to start taking their entrance exams at least by the 10th grade and not during their senior year.

I think that all of the schools in town are worthy of giving a good education. It is up to the student athelete. We will see!

My point was this: Sometimes the educational environment is too laxed for the serious student to obtain a quality education. Sometimes it's not good to mix steak with a hotdog.

Be willing to bet someone a STEAK DINNER that he ends up going to high school on Fannett Rd..... .."Build it and they will come".....NO recruiting necessary....any takers??

I played on a junior high team where all the starters were dunking and we won city championships every year for awhile in Houston.

When I was in Jr High we started an 8th grade game with a 2 - 0 lead against Madisonville because we shot Techs for 2 of their players dunking in warm-up.

Hmm? Sheez! I hate bringing Vitale into this but he will probably know or have heard the history. E.O. Smith Jr.High was a very DOMINANT TEAM in Houston. Dwight Jones (LA Lakers) Spiderman, Roy Fields, and several more players were on this team. They banned dunking in HISD because of this team.

Yep, I know all about the EO Smith history...Heard about it, about....half a billion times during my lifetime!! ;D..There were definitely some legends to come out of that area before my time, because when I came along, we ran the city over at MADISON!! ;D ;D

Wait...Wait a second...Kids in Beaumont can choose where they want to go to school??? What about the other teams in the district??? Don't they have boudaries ? Can a kid in our school zone go to Lumberton?  How about the numbers for the particular area, does that effect the classification!!  We sure would like to have Jonathan Ward over here...........

This is partially due to fallout from an old desegregation lawsuit.

Dang!I just received a call. My 10 year old just got an automatic bid to National Adidas Jr. Phenom Camp in San Diego, CA. He doesn't have to qualify at regionals.

Good luck to you both and be watchful of those AAU snakes out there, too..
