hey kenny me and my cousin were talking the other day and we had a little debate.  Question was who was better Kenyon Spears or Ryan Donahoe.  Now being I was in school when Spears came through and him being older than me, I would say Spears.  Donahoe was a great scorer and led a mean press.  I was just wondering if my answer was a little biased because I grew up knowing and watching him play little dribblers.  Anyone from HJ can weigh in, just a little fun debate.

Forget those two. I'll take Clay and Chris Davis any day over those two guys.

I now know who know all is......................hahahaha!!!!

To answer your question I feel that both were unique in their own way.  I think that Kenyon is the best all around player that HJ has ever had, but on the other hand Donahoe did lead his team to the State Title in 07 and Kenyon lead his team to the State Semis in 1994.  Coaching was the big difference.  Had HJ had the coaching staff now that they had in 1994 then I think they would have won State in 1994 also.

Donahoe could take over a game more than Kenyon could.  What made kenyon a sure d1 player is that he had larry birds basketball IQ and he could shoot the ball and had size.  Shot the mid range jumper as good as anyone and that is something that is HARD to do.  In high school I would have rather had donahoe and in college I would have rather had spears.

what if donahoe had the same supporting cast as spears.  i think it would be a positive and a negative as far as debate goes.  Donahoes scoring would have been down obviously having Troop and with walters, anderson and shroeder that was some size.  I dont know if Donahoe would have thrived as much with these guys as he did in 07.  Still wouldve been fun to see Troop, Donahoe and spears on the court with Lance and Big Tim or Aaron.

Funny, I never look at Lamar being a legit D-1 school.

Kenyon passed up an offer to play at texas and tamu in hopes of something bigger(a pipe dream even though he is my bud).  He single handidly lead his team to the state semis as a soph and texas loved him.  He held out and his value diminished big time his senior season.

Texas and TAMU? yEAH SURE!  When are the HJ guys gonna learn to stop waiting on the big D-1 schools to call their homes? Somebody is listening to some bad advice over there in China, Sour Lake, etc.

Ryan Donahoe all day...more refined game....Kenyon was the truth, no question about that but Ryan dominates games on both ends of the floor and has a really high basketball IQ to boot.  AND Ryan brought home the hardware back to HJ..That HAS to count for SOMETHING! ;)

Funny how times change.  Just after a summer all star game in Pt. Arthur a couple of years ago, you weren't nearly as complimentary on one of these boards about Mr. Donahoe as you are now.

      This is the sort of stuff that can't happen if the Republicans are going to keep this mandate

      By bullets13 · Posted

      alright, you got me back ;).  and I think my longwinded original post can be summed up by this: the right needs to focus on sweeping changes in the areas that we all know are the reasons they got the mandate to begin with.  This is a golden opportunity to fix immigration almost entirely, improve the courts and eliminate some of the woke prosecution lack of punishment nonsense, and also improve spending habits and the economy.  Do that and make small, sensible changes in other areas (legislation banning males in girls' changing rooms/sports would be an easy win to start), and the right can hold power for a long time.  If the right gets hung up on trying to affect major conservative morality legislation (like trying to force a bible in every classroom, for example), it could greatly backfire.

      ANY FIRST ROUND UPSET ANYONE?

      By TrojanWarrior08 · Posted

      Coldspring and Teague are pretty much evenly matched but the 2 advantages we have is that our RB is definitely better than theirs plus we will have the stronger defense.  So in terms of an upset then this shouldn't be one.  But as far as seeding goes I understand your point.

      Playoffs

      By THS99 · Posted

      It wasn't too hard to see when 1) having an understanding of VB more than Wins/Losses and 2) watching the actual matches.  BH's record at the end of this year was really misleading, they started off not great against mostly decent teams (a couple good teams too), but they also struggled against teams they shouldn't have.  That got masked once they hit district.  Most fans don't know too much about VB unless they have/had a sister, daughter, or niece play, so they get tricked by that inflated win/loss record.  Most also don't get that the majority of skill comes from club ball and BH's girls are not getting any additional refinement from the schools program.  That is evident in the playoffs and against comparable teams.  BH players can only out talent other teams so much, eventually their coaching needs to catch up to help those girls out.

      Jasper over Columbia i expect Lindale over LCM 50/50 I've picked Joaquin to beat Centerville as a 4-seed.  They're a dog, but I like their chances and at least think this one is a good game. Nederland has a decent shot against Texas High. If a 3 over a 2 counts then Coldspring has a decent shot against Teague.
