J'Covan Brown And Tramain Thomas Nominated

[BLUEDOVE3]

Tremain was NOMINATED, J'Covan was SELECTED...They selected 20 and will select 4 more...A nomination is a good thing too, and the EC community should be very proud as well...I am pulling for J'Covan, but I honestly have my reservations about his selection, given the circumstances..I don't think that the committee was aware of his playing status...They selected strictly from the AAU circuit, and I have issue with that part...Just my 2 cents...

I'm kind of adding my 2 cents in now, especially since I can spend more time on other topics since Ozen is out. In order to be considered for McDonals All-American, an athlete must be in good academic standing and played half of the season. Now I will leave it alone right here and let interested parties figure in some more blanks surrounding the incidents of a certain young player just recently.

Exactly! Why was he reinstated during the playoffs? Why did he not play in the playoffs after being reinstated? What factors determined that this young man ws not coming back after being reinstated so he could elgible for "half the season?"  Which is a requirement for McDonald All-American....hmm? There were some higher powers who kept this kid out.

They didn't MAKE the playoffs....They lost the district tie breaker to Atascocita, and he was supposed to play in THAT game, but something or someone prevented THAT from happening also.

Sorry district tie breaker. A certain someone from way on the top according to reliable sources.

I don't see how you'll can say Tramain is all hype I sont know if you'll realize it or not but he carried E.C. Basketball through most of this season untill towards the end when some others finally stepped up. The last two years would have been ugly for E.C. If it wasn't for Tramain. He hasn't had any real help since Dominic Harmon and Chris Joseph graduated 2 years ago.

I wouldn't go quite that far,Preston Guillory was a great shooter.Tramain definitely carried this years team especially with Vance playing thru a shoulder problem.I've had the pleasure of watching Tramain ever since my son started playing school ball and if I had to start a team he would be my first pick.Not only because of his basketball skills but he also knows how to handle any situation with class.The Bucs are gonna miss him terribly.Congrats Tramain on a great career.

oh yeah I completely forgot Preston. He was almost as good as C.J.

I figured it was an oversight.Preston could knock down the 3.

Bluedove, are you suggesting that because Jacovin did not play half of the season, it was the fault of the coach that he did not make the Mac D. All- American team???  If so, we need to make a thread about the responsibility of the individual toward his high schol team, and not put oneself in front of that, period.....This AAU is mostly about I before team, and I'm talking about players and coaches end up thinking that way. They have to be able to seperate the two, and if they don't, well you've seen the results !!!!

Nah! I'm suggesing that the coach was FORCED to suspend the kid based on "suggestions" from higher ups. They tried to reinstate the kid but the "poweres that be" from Austin stepped in and quashed it.

[stang4life]

Personally, if any kid in any sport takes off his/her jersey or leaves the playing field/court...THEY have ultimately made their decision to not be a part of the T-E-A-M. 

[Bucof2010]

How many of you can honestly say that as Jrs. And Srs. In H.S. You didn't let your bad temper or attitiude get you into trouble once or twice?

[stang4life]

Honestly, I don't see taking off your jersey or leaving the field of play before being excused as much a "bad attitude/temper" thing...to me, it is more a discipline issue (moreover...self-discipline).  I can tell you that I have three boys (19, 18, 13) and if they ever displayed the slightest hint of an "attitude/temper"...I checked them real quick and squashed it early.  We had a player walk off of the court at the state quarterfinals in Austin three years ago (I think) and his parents met him as he stepped off of the court...that's lack of discipline.  Subsequently, he transferred to another school. 

I don't know the details of Mr. Brown's actions...I am just going by what I have read on here.  You can have all of the talent in the world and get nowhere because you don't have the discipline required to harness yourself.  I wish him the best in his endeavors and hope that if he is given a second chance...he'll take it seriously and live up to his obvious potential.

Spoken like a true LADY!! and MOM!! ..

BUCof2010-  I am sure nearly everyone has lost their temper 1 or 2 times.  IN this case, one or two times probably represents less than10% of the actions.
