Well Evadale wonted to see if they could play with the big boys, and looks like they will find that out real quick. Playing 3a codist, champs HJ and the defending 1a state champs Cayuga and 3a Dayton in the first pool play. Thanks for the post Lazeek

Dayton is 4A.

Does Cayuga have much of a team returning this year?  If so, depending on what else is going on that night,  I may have to go watch HJ and Cayuga.

[/quote]ouch that is even bigger aint it ;D

[AggiesAreWe]

I don't look for Dayton to be any good.

Last year they went 5-21, 1-13 in district.

I know that Cayuga has their '6"4 shooting guard back (was a freshman last year, he won that championship game for them) and I believe the point guard is back as well.

They did lose several athletes off of that team though.

[/quote] Well one bright spot I Guess and I just talked with my son and he thinks that Cayuga had a lot of Sr on last years team.

[AggiesAreWe]

Cayuga returns 2 starters:

'6"4 SG  soph. (this year)
'6"2 G/F    Sr.

Off the bench

'5"9 G    Sr.
'6"6 P    Sr.
'6"0 G    Sr.
'6"6 P    Jr.
'6"5 F/P  Soph.


They lost 3 starters and 3 bench players.

[ST413]

Cayuga has 10 players listed on the uil website from last years team that could return this year.  5 that were freshmen, 1 sophomore, and 4 juniors.  Not sure how many playedmuch of a part on the team last year. As Favre throws a game ending pick 6.

[AggiesAreWe]

I did not count those 3 '5"4 freshman that never saw the court at the tourney last year.

[ST413]

ok still looks like a good 1A roster..don't know anything about the players but good size

[whsalum]

Yuga is always pretty solid and you never know what you'll get with Dayton.They have some horses over there but may still be shaking the football rust off.They must feel like they will be a little better or they probably wouldn't have came to HJ.Where is Huntington this year ?

[whsalum]

I would have liked to see Spurger in this tournament.They have a couple of real solid players coming back.

Yep. McGallion and Whitaker will lead that Spurger team very well. Coach Issacs has a couple of other players that will surprise some folks too. ;)

[ST413]

spurger was impressive when I saw them this summer

[whsalum]

Yep they could have held there own in this one. Kinda surprised to see Anahuac, Kountze and EC all 3 in it.

[True Blue]

The only prob. I see with Spurger playing in this tournament is they have no depth with were little bench play. Their starting 5 can play but in this tour. you need to play alot of games in a short time. I do see them on the Evadale schedule this year, should be a good match up.

[Guest speechless]

anahuac, kountze, and ec was all in it last year

[whsalum]

[/quote]Yea I saw all 3 play there last year. I was kinda surprised to see 3 clubs from the same district that will all be pretty close in talent get together again in the same tournament.True your right about depth several of these clubs do use it to find depth. Unfortunately most of your 1-a schools won't have depth, in my opinion Spurger was probably the only area 1-a school that could have competed with this field.After lookin at the field I 'm gonna take off a couple of days and check this out.

[True Blue]

After looking at the pools I find it funny( ;) )That there are 2 1a schools in this tour. and they both in  the same pool as HJ ;)

[/quote]Ok just hear me out on this one. Spurger has the best point guard in 1a and prob. the best farward but after that they get thin. They lost the MVP of the dist in Blankenship, he avrg. 16 points a game last year. He scored 37 points against Evadale. Now Evadale has everyone coming back + thier new 6'7'' center that averg. 9 points and 11 reb at 2a last year. I just think you are selling them a little short.

[whsalum]

I am very familiar with Spurger having carried teams over there and played for years.The will miss Daniel not only as a shooter but as a leader.That being said the young guy they have coaching over there will do a great job of developing the other kids.They have bought in to his system and will come along quickly.The group of kids at Evadale this year are a good bunch of athletes and are successful in all sports.I watched them quite a bit this summer and they hold there own against most schools but the "basketball" clubs give them trouble.You give a good coach 2 really good players (McGallion and Whittacre) at the 1-a level and he'll win alot of games.My biggest concern with Evadale and their new 6'7" center would be team chemistry.I hope everything goes well for him this season but he left Evadale disgruntled as a soph, left EC mid season as a Jr. and left HJ before playing a game.The average fan would have to be skeptical , don't you think ???
