AggiesAreWe Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 I thought the title of this thread was "Who is [b]THE[/b] best to come out of your school?" Not " Who are some of the best".Shouldn't we be naming just one player for each school?
texasbasketballfan Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 WHS alum where is ur list for the warriors?
shorttexas1 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 Well AG! THE best out of Jaguar land has to be Damon Sweet! THE best out of Lincoln has to be Stephen Jackson. THE best out of Westbrook has to be Luke Jackson but Sneed is pushing him! I think THE best out of your school has to be Thadeous Holden. THE best out of TJ has do be Darious Hayes.. THE best out of Memorial has to be Jacovin Brown. THE best out of Ozen is Perk.
AggiesAreWe Posted January 14, 2010 Report Posted January 14, 2010 Short, I will agree with your picks as THE best except for the Silsbee pick. I really like Holden, but the best to ever come out of Silsbee was McDonald's All-American Darryl McArthur. He scored over 2500 points in his high school career, which at the time had him in the top 20 all time scorers in the state of Texas, all classifications. McArthur was also a 3 time 1st team All State player(soph, jr, sr). His freshman year he started as a post player on the '83 team that went to the state tourney and lost in the semis. The team was 35-3 that year. That was the only year he played inside, he then moved out to the 2 guard the next three years and lit it up.I remember his first three games his senior year he scored 52, 45, 49!!

Davis was 6' 8" and averaged over 30 points his senior season at Nederland and accounted for 60% of the Bulldogs' points that season. At Texas A&M Davis became an All-American in basketball and an Olympic high jumper. Davis won the gold medal with an Olympic record in the high jump at the 1952 Olympics. In 1953 Davis set the world record in the high jump. He also played six years in the NBA.I realize that this was over 50 years ago but the discussion of who is the best basketball player (and probably best athlete) to come out of Nederland starts and stops with Buddy Davis. [/quote]Thanks for the info. IMO it's hard to compare where anyone absolutely falls because the game has changed so much over the years but you can't argue with and Olympic Gold and NBA career. It's one of the reason's I like this type of question because you find out some history.

Jamie Weaver early 80s4. Corey Loupe 2000ish5. Dionte Forney PRESENTTHIS GROUP COULD SCORE IN BUNCHES... [/quote]I can agree with Hefner, Weaver, and Loupe. Forney may become a top five by the end of his senior year if he gets to playing consistent. He has a ton of talent. Torres was good but no way is he top five from Nederland. He averaged 10-12 points a game. I started watching Nederland Basketball in the 70's. Pat Wilson(70's), Wade Prejean(70's), Rory Hanley(70's), Brian English(80's), Mike Mayes(80's), Kevin Austin(80's), Greg Macon(80's), Cody Becnol(90's), Buddy Davis(see prior post) etc. all averaged more than that. Wilson and Prejean knew how to pass the ball better than anyone I have seen in modern Nederland Basketball. I think a lot of those players get missed due to only one team going to the playoffs in the late 70's and early 80's.

I think you confused him with Darious Brannon who played for Lincoln about same time. You really think Stephen Jackson was better in HS than McElroy and BJ Tyler and Anthony Allen???? I just looked up that Lincoln has 23 players who were all-state from 1973 to 2001!!!!! Yes Jackson has had a better career, but McElroy was the best HS player IMO. But I didnt see all the others since some were before my time. Same with Keena Young and Perkins @ Ozen. Young was the better HS player.

If you are one of the best then either you did not graduate from Silsbee or the Silsbee program must have really sucked backed then!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D :D :D :D[/quote]What's your list for HJ Lazeek ?

whsalum Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 [quote name="texasbasketballfan" post="743690" timestamp="1263453050"]WHS alum where is ur list for the warriors? [/quote]Warren doesn't have a rich basketball history as of late but they used to put some really god teams on the floor.If I had to make a list it would have a lot of old schoolers on it:1-The Whites-Reuben,Daniel,Wayne and Jessie.Throw in a couple of sisters and they beat most teams.2-Jessie and James Wolf.Two great high school players who went on to the NFL.3-Jimmy Rawls-He played in the late 60's I believe and could score 50 on any given night.4-Johnathan McNeal-Big guy with a soft shot who could fill it up.5-Jacob Terrell-Great player on a average club.6-Jerrod Walles-Spent more time on baseball/football but was the real deal.7-Alan Danos-Didn't play but 1 year but was the piece that made Warren go.8-Paul Sims-Shot over 80% from the FT line and over 40% from behind the arc for his career.9-Fred Dunham-PG-Could single handidly beat the press.These guys are not intended to be in any particular order but if I had to pick 1 as the best it would we Reuben White.This guy cut 4 fingers severely on his right hand in an ag shop accident and learned to play lefthanded and never missed a beat.
texasbasketballfan Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 WHS alum i dont know very many of those players from back in the day but shouldn't Matt Andrews be somewhere on that list. he put up good numbers in high school and now he is playing at the college level i would think he is good enough to be on that list
MVC#22 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 thanks 4 the love texasbasketballfan! i only played with one of those players on that list paul sims he was a really good player he def belongs on the list i saw a couple of the other ones play and they were good. i know that i could play with any body on the list but they must have done something i couldnt do 4 them 2 be on the list so they were prob pretty good!
AggiesAreWe Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Me thinks MVC#22 and texasbasketballfan is one in the same. ;) ;DNo need to toot your own horn. Just ask someone to. ;)
