Lazeek Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Please just teach him about basketball and not about message board tactics!!!!!!!!! :D
Guest DickVitale Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I gotcha...I will make sure that in the media guide he will be listed from SPRING WESTFIELD HIGH SCHOOL in bold print and in tiny letters it will say......"he attended hj too" :D
Lazeek Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 HJ STATE CHAMP is what it should say next to his name!!!!!!!! :D You will see just how good he really is.
know all Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 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.
Lazeek Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I will give a opinion on it, but who are you????

know all Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I only played basketball for one year and quite because it ran into baseball. I do know who you are though. I would occasionally play Idylwild and harass you.
know all Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 In order to take these two you would probably break HJs 3pt attempts which doesnt clay still have that one, because these two liked to bomb it. Live and die by the three.
Guest DickVitale Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 know all is Charles Breithaupt!!! You didn't know? MR. HJ himself!! :D
know all Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 DV since you are the expert, who was better Spears or Donahoe
Lazeek Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 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.

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.
know all Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 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.
Guest nostradamus Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Sorry guys, but, if you're talking about the best player ever at HJ then Rocky Rocquemore MUST be in the conversation.
know all Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 showing your age nos. Dont remember him, didnt he come out in 80s around time of Martel AD.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 I gotcha...I will make sure that in the media guide he will be listed from SPRING WESTFIELD HIGH SCHOOL in bold print and in tiny letters it will say......"he attended hj too" :D ;D
Lazeek Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 Could not agree more.............although I never saw him play!!!!!!!

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.

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.
Guest DickVitale Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 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!

Arthur a couple of years ago, you weren't nearly as complimentary on one of these boards about Mr. Donahoe as you are now.
Lazeek Posted March 18, 2009 Report Posted March 18, 2009 They actually will get him now when they really had no chance 2 years ago.
