PoppaBearstarr Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm not sure why they don't shut down every high school basketball program down in Texas if you are going to crown them a year ahead of time....I'm not scared, and I will be a senior next year, and the year after that....

HJ2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Again, I have not seen Yates play ever in person. But, I have seen highlights and footage from their games. Yates seems to play up and down the floor with a lot of speed. What if a team were to cover the outlet pass up the floor? What if they rotated to the backside block on defense during a fast break? What if they stepped up and took a charge when a player from Yates went for a dunk? I feel that if teams were to do all of these things (simple defense) and were able to score, then they would definitely have a shot! Again, this is based only on what I have seen of Yates in clips and highlight reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST413 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 That might work a little but evenif one of our area teams could match up with Yates starters, the game would still end up lopsided. We dint have the numbers to keep up the pace or the talent in those numbers. I will out it this way and in all honesty this is not a knock on him, but it has been stated that Prudhomne is the best playerin SE TX, I dont think he would start and may not even be the first or second off the bench at Yates. Now does that mean give then the title next year? Heck no, it only takes one bad game to be sent home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason the blast everyone is because the simple things don't work. Their starting lineup mirrors that of a major D1 school. Size, speed, and more athletic than most SETX teams have ever seen. They are a AAU team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian15/16 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 [quote name="hj15" post="1182002" timestamp="1329853774"]Example: Cleveland will dress 7 sophomores for tonights game against HF. Five of which are true sophomores. Just doesn't seem fair to those kids but I know thats just the way it is.Seems like Cleveland I.S.D. needs to work on the grades instead of Basketball.[/quote]???? ???

BADSANTA Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 So is he saying those players are older. Like 18yr old high school sophomore? They won't be able to play as seniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
