One of them was not all of them. Its just like last year when they could have played for the district title outright but instead let Nederland go in as the 1st seed. And again they chose to go there with 6 players and at the end of the day are you satisfied with just showing up and beating Yates.The mentality has to change amongst our young athletes, are we teaching them that if you win a couple of games and beat a great team its ok if you dont play wanna anymore ,cause you proved your point.

[/quote]You let the secret out, I was hoping Central would continue this type of attitude leading into their district play :D Keep hope alive!!

Is it really true that Central with only 6 or 7 players, beat Yates with 25?  Hmmm- is it the "slightest" possibility that Yates is not as impressive as they are "painted" on this board?

[/quote]From an eye witness who was at the game, Central had no problem with their 'defense'/press. Maybe Wise is the X factor in which you are keeping silent about?

UIL just ruled on his (Sadiq) grades and credits. He is considered a junior. Has an extra year to play high school.

If he were that much of a "magician" and master strategist, wouldnt he be doing his job in NCAA or NBA?

[/quote]The other teams did. But Yates had a problem prior to playing Yates

Yates also seemed to have a problem with Clear Springs yesterday.....Yates won 63-57. We lost to Clear Springs by 2 points and would have played Yates if we had won this game.

Gee- I once again repeat my question- Is it possible that Yates is not quite as invincible as once portrayed?

a Junior??? in what country?  i saw this guy Saturday, and like i said, he looks 30 years old.  Guy could walk into any liquor store in Houston and walk out with his favorite beverage and not be questioned. 

I did like seeing the full court press from the opening tip.  i like that.  come out aggressive and put the opposing team on point right away.  With the lack of quality ball handlers (don't work on fundamentals enough IMO) turn overs leads to easy basket.  Not shocked to see them score tons of points.

[/quote]LOL! You're saying this because he is balding  ;D But true. UIL just made a ruling on his eligibility this week.

[86hawk]

maybe that is it.  Except my wife says that i look younger bald vs the horseshoe i would be wearing if i could grow hair.  :).

False, Wilridge was hurt, the point guard Guillory was hurt and Pearson played with an injured calf muscle and hurt his hand in the last minute of yates game. how do you expect them too play without there top 3 there.

I had the pleasure of spending most of the summer with Sadiq,he looks older, but if you knew him, he is just like any other high school student.

Not trying to bash the player or his character.  Just looks a lot older than the other kids on the court.  What i saw, he handled himself well and appeared to be the leader on the court.  He was fouled hard a couple of times, but didn't think a thing of it and shot his free throws. 

Is he the top player on the team?
