Who won state in 2A?


Recommended Posts

  • 1 month later...
I kind of had a problem with this-- Poth had 16 girls 5' 7" on to FOUR above 6' 1"...it seems that a lot of the winners had total club team year-round girls that had been grouped by the parent in HSs close to big cities: just to win State Tourneys! I enjoyed the overall State Tourney once again but do not think I will go back; unless a local team makes it that far.

I watched BC beat Caldwell(a rural town) in just one set which the rest of Region III teams could not accomplish--yet at the State Tourney... Lucas Lovejoy just totally dominated 3ACaldwell in 3 games; with a whole team of assembled giant Club year-round players--packed together intentionally by Club parents.
I don't think there is anything that can be done if they rent a cheap hovel or trailer and use the "address" as the home address for that student.

The difference is that you have (so the rumor has it) parents moving their kids in from bigger cities such as Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, etc. to build I guess what you would call an all-star team. It would be like taking the top two players or so from each one of our 3A a schools and combining them into one team. You get a lot better much quicker. It's not that the kids are playing club...it's that parents are moving to cities to build a team. If it's all true...can't do anything about it except try to get better yourself. For all I know...it could all be hearsay.

Well with Volleyball if you make it to the State Tournament you are going to get looked at by colleges. Poth sends those tall girls they have to big schools all the time. You are also guarenteed to play. If you move to a big 4A or 5A school, you have to deal with the absolute best schools in the state. You aren't going to move to a school in 5A that is going to beat San Antonio Reagan, San Antonio O'Conner, or Amarillo. If the parents are wanting their child to play and win state...2A/3A is the best opportunity. Again...I say this if this is what's really happening. I've heard about it...don't know if anyone actually has proof.

We are talking about STACKING TEAMS in little school with many 5A caliber girls.

I was at a BC girls basketball game at the Kelly Tourney Saturday; the Basketball team is mostly the VB team and I guarantee the SB team that will win District is well represented with--VB, State Level Cross Counry & Powerlifters, Basketballers, cheerleaders, etc...

These teams of 6 footers that I saw packed into 4As & on down to 1A were totally dedicated to Club Volleyball and assembled and pre-planned by the Club parents.

They were not our multi-sport girls, that also try to play a little club VB ball in-between  lol

    • That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.     
    • Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up. 
    • Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived? 
    • We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
