West Orange Stark dropped out of our tournament this week and it left us in a bind but, fortuantely we actually ended up in a GREAT position.

We have officially added Texarkana Pleasant Grove to the Basketball Marathon.

For those that don't know TPG lost to Dallas Madison in the Region II Finals last year 58-55 and have a large number of their players back.....our tournament just got tougher and I didn't think that was possible.

Here are the teams:

Hardin-Jefferson           

Anahuac

LCM

Kountze

Lumberton

Legacy

Texarkana Pleasant Grove

Aransas Pass

Gladewater Sabine

Crockett

Bullard

Huntington

Krum

Valley View

East Chambers

Vidor

i really don't have an opinion on this matter, i am just curios to most peoples thoughts on this.

ymbl usually has some of the bigger 4 and 5a schools, while hj tourney will always have top notch teams attend

i think this could be a good debate. Since both tournaments are run on the same weekend.

Better than the ymbl?

because of quality of teams or just everything in general?

3A and under YMBL won't hold a candle to this tournament!!!!

That's true. But the YMBL dropped the two different class levels a couple of years ago. Now it's every man for himself. They included the girls in the tourney now.

Did not know that.  Still the lowere level teams in that tourney won't even be close.

These were the teams that played in the YMBL last year:

G1: West Brook - BYE

G2: Nederland vs. South Oak Cliff - Noon (Montagne)

G3: Ozen vs. St. Pius - 5pm (Ozen HS)

G4: Central vs. Westbury Christian - 1:30 (Montagne)

G5: Vidor vs. Aldine - 3 (Montagne)

G6: Aldine Eisenhower vs. Marshall - 4:30 (Montagne)

G7: PA Memorial vs. Harker Heights - 6 (Montagne)

G8: North Shore vs. Walker-NOLA - 7:30 (Montagne)

I would not consider any of these teams lower level schools. All are 4A and above.

HF's center may possibly be 6'6" and up. Man, yall think I'm playing but you HF is gonna kick some butt. The knock on the door begins in 2013 and the flood gates open the next year.

This is, perhaps, the longest running "Pipe dream" that I have ever heard of.

it's kind of an unwritten rule in coaching that when you take a new job you play the schedule that the previous coach made unless you can give the other school ample time to find another opponent......the end of August is awefully late to be dropping out of a tournament.....leaves schools in a bind

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
