Out of roughly 7000 students, there are no kids 6'5" or taller to play basketball?

I thought the post player for Ozen was '6"8?

Even so, only one over '6"5 out of that many students is unbelievable.

I can count 6 players from Silsbee over the last 7 years that were '6"6 or better.

Yeah, That one softy that transferred from Central is the Tallest player.  Before Ozen, both Central and Wesbrook kept at least 3 to 4 players that were 6'5 or better.  I remember times when we had at least 2 players at all three schools that were 6'5 or better.  But since 2005 it has went all downhill literally!

Sometime back we were discussing how the cycle of talent was down in this area. Maybe there is some sort of mutual correlation between the two ???

Watched Central vs WB freshman last week, only a couple of kids 6'2 or better between both teams. 

Alot of people think 6'2 is a giant around here.  When 6'2 is a small in Houston.
[/quote]if you're under 6'2" and playing on the circuit, you better be quick.

ozen has one soph that is 6'6 about 250 lbs. that plays varsity some games and jv some. the freshman team at ozen has a 6-5, 6-4, and two 6-3 twins. they have alot of size on the underneath levels. cant move them up now cause they are trying to get playing time for all of them for development

I have noticed the lack of size in general in this area, and I don't understand it.  I can see how the 3A and smaller levels have less size, with posts in the 6'3" range or so, but the 4A & 5A teams should have posts in the 6'6" or taller range.  It should just be a number of students thing.

I played at a big 5A school in Sugar Land (a long time ago because I'm old), but our starting line up was 6'11", 6'6", 6'3", 6'1" & 5'10".  Most teams we played had at least one post over 6'6", and usually 2 that size.

In recent years, West Brook has been relatively small and not that good.  Why is that in a school of about 2500 students?  Emphasis on other sports?  Coaching?  or what?  I'm asking because I honestly don't know.  My kids are still in middle school.

[/quote]LOL! My junior high team consisted of: 6'11" post, 6'6" and 6'5 wings. Our B team post was 6'10"....We were the feeder school for Wheatley High School. The players were given special liquids ;)

I will say this about the size thing.  The best 5A team I ever saw was the 1985 Houston Madison team.  40-0 and state champs.  No player over 6'6", but deep and loaded.  Most players between 6'1" and 6'5".  8 kids off that team got scholarships (Tech, Baylor, Houston, TSU, Central Florida, various smaller schools & jucos).  I think their closest game that year was 11 points, but their avg. margin was about 25 or so.

No doubt there are better "programs" or better runs, but that team that year was nasty.  During that time frame in Houston, everybody thought Yates was the program, but that Madison team was awesome.  Most of their games looked like a dunk contest and were over by halftime.

The crazy thing is that there is not even a 6'4" baller on WB or Central.... It is so weird to me!  Ozen does get alot of the height and they are the only current bball progam in BMT
[/quote]What about PA Memorial? Any bigs?
[/quote]


PA keeps nice size... At least a 6'6 plus.  And alot of there skill guys are around 6'3!
