[/quote] No, I just think they have a good chance to win the tournament thats all!

[dav-joel]

Is this a 5 team tourney?

[BLUEDOVE3]

Dallas Kimball with Keith Frazier and ????  will win it

[ForeverADog]

Where is Ned? Walker hasn't been good at all at this tourney. I think it comes down to the 2 Dallas schools. But Hightower will be tough.

[/quote]North Shore will be good.  They have David Green as a head coach now.  He's fresh off a State championship appearance from FB Hightower and is the old Central Basketball coach.  North Shore will be a lot of people this year and will be favored to win their district.

[/quote]Why would anyone want to talk hoops with a bandwagoner?  ::)  And besides, I bet he's following Big Sandy for now.

Is Hardin Jefferson scared to play in this tourney? Seems to me this is where all the Big Dawgs come to play!

Sutherland prefers playing in pool play type tourneys where you get as many as 5 to 6 games, guaranteed. They have played in the Aransas Pass tourney the last several years.

Obviously the quality of play is better at the YMBL, but a team may only get to play 3 games.

[BADSANTA]

I think I'd rather play less games vs weaker schools myself. Why not get in a 5A/4A tourney with 5 state ranked schools vs a tourney with one or two. They will win that Aransas Pass tourney like they did last year.

Might want to include Ozen in YMBL winner brackets, they will be right in the thick of things.

And I believe Sutherland is reasonably qualified to know what is best for his team.  His record certainly suggests that.  Every coach has a different approach.  I know of one very successful coach that didnt play the real tough teams because he didnt want his kids to get it in their mind that there was anyone that they couldnt compete with.  Not saying its right but who knows for sure?

[BADSANTA]

So is HJ scared of the YMBL or not? I think local fans would like to see the team he has play the kind of talent that's in the tourney this year. Would HJ benefit from playing Hightower, Kimball, or Ozen?

[/quote]Ah, BS ( [s]BS?[/s]) has some good points laid out. Would/could HJ benefit from [s]a 25 point loss[/s] errrr....I meant playing teams like Hightower or Dallas Kimball?
