State Title in 2007 and State Semis in 2009 with the so called "patsy" schedule.
[/quote]


I never said patsy. Somebody else said that. I'm talking about now. Those teams were really good. This is a decent team for HJ, which should be playing better competition to get them ready to make that run..

What about Ashton Hall and Keithan Hancock? Both played for D1 schools ..both played for little ole Kountze :-)
[/quote]    ;D ;D ;D
[/quote] who were the two kids that play for Kountze the year they won state in 1970 and went to play for L.C. in Baytown texas I seen them play for 2 years anybody.

[Lazeek]

My real question freeze is it that HJ plays a weak schedule, or that you feel that they don't get enough exposure for their players??  THat is what it really sounds like to me!!!!

Doesnt matter one bit if there were any coaches there.  If there is a good player at a small school, the recruiting system is sophisticated enough to know about them.  Prudhomme got lots of looks and so did Donahoe based on virtually the same schedule.  One d-1 coach came to a playoff game last year to look at Prudhomme and came away interested in Bosha.  Stop trying to suggest that a kid from a small school is going to get a scholarship simply by playing in a specific tourney.  Once again, you dont look too smart trying to suggest that you know more than the HJ coaching staff about how they should structure its schedule.  In fact, it really looks very silly.
[/quote]

I look silly. Hahaha,and you sound like a genius. Nobody said I know more than HJ coaching staff. I know that tournament was weak and HJ didn't belong. And you keep believing level of competition matter to college coaches. All these great HJ records but only a few players go to d1 colleges. According to you numbers don't lie, well that's some numbed for you Nash
[/quote]      and if hj had played a schedule that pleases you, they would have no more or no less kids playing in college than they do now.  funny u never told me why DUGAT started at BAYLOR despite being from Dayton where the schedule was never very difficult
[/quote]

Dayton was a 4a school at the time. And hancock followed in his brother footsteps and the best one had to go to juco firsf. Ashton was a 6'4 wing man. One of a kind in kountze. That's 4 players from kountze out of all these great records kountze has had since the David green era.
[/quote]      they played d-1 because they were good enough and not because of their schedule- the recruiting system was aware of them and they were not recruited because of playing in a specific tourney
[/quote]

4 out of a hundred great players with grades and you think that proves a point. You need help. So all the other players that played at the great HJ wasn't good enough but had 25-3 records and went deep in the playoffs wasn't good enough. Well you keep defending great records against against weak competition. Call me when they bring a state ring home
[/quote]    Competition is always tough in the playoffs.  no easy teams at that point-  as i said (and you refuse to acknowledge) playoff record since 2007 is 23-5 and it includes two appearances in Austin and a state championship..  You very simply cant "talk that away' no matter how hard you try.  As for your "call me" comment, why dont you "call me" when a local team does better
[/quote]

Let's see if that happens this year. Won't be no jv teams in the playoffs. No EC, or anahuac. What you not understanding is you don't have those kind of players you had in previous years. These players not on those past team levels. They need better competition to be able to handle a playoff atmosphere

Hey smarty pants, Shawn Prudhomme is not on this year team this year. This the same experienceed team that blew out Central to. We all saw the diffetence he made this year didn't we.

hey mr intellect- the point was that these players have plenty of playoff experience including losing a close one to the number 1 team in state at the regionals

[stevenash]

Very surprised at you.  You keep brining up the game against Central.  It is readily apparent that you dont understand that, in the playoffs, HJ only plays afainst schhols with similar enrollments.  Think about that for a minute,  That means they wont play a team like Central  While we are on this schedule issue, why isnt Central playing schools like DeSoto to be ready for the playoffs instead of lowly HJ?

And HJ officer my point was Shawn is gone. You 20+ points away and the center piece of that team away. Experience and no Shawn equals the lost Central gave them. You see it now.hope so

  Yates?  According to you, HJ may not make the playoffs with weak schedule and Prudhomme gone and if they do, they will certainly lose before  getting to Yates.  Answer my question about Centrals schedule please.  Why arent they playing in a 5-a tourney in Houston or Dallas to get ready for playoffs?

Central has played in the two best tournaments in the area. Gamble and ymbl. Of course HJ go make the playoffs. Even though they might end up dplitting district with WOS. HJ was in a 2a tournament. Come on now

[stevenash]

hj also won its own tourney beating Longview by 17 in the final.  Check the Central score against Longview.  Hj should lose to Central and to Yates because the student bodies are twice as large.  Same goes for Central if they play a Duncanville or Ft Bend Travis because they have more students.  Hj has no problem competing with just about any school of similar size and that seems to trouble you greatly.  All of the talk/schedule crticism in the world will NOT alter that FACT.  The 2007 state champs and the 2009 state semi finalists from HJ both lost their early season games against Central.  HJ has a good basketball program for its size and classification and there is nothing you can do about that.  Centrals games against Lumberton WOS and lowly HJ , according to your theory, are not preparing Central for the playoffs

Twice as many students don't mean nothing. They still will only have 15 players on the roster. Level of talent is the factor. They bear Longview by 17 but lost to central by almost 30. Playing Ozen varsity, Washington Marion, memorial, will get them ready. Not EC or a jv

[Guest BmtTopFlight2017]

Both of you guys make good points. Freeze is saying why doesn't HJ play in the heavy hitting tournaments to get them ready for the playoffs .Nash is saying why should it matter when they do well in the playoffs already so their scheduling has no bearing anyways. I myself would love to see HJ in the big tournaments. I think they've always had good,solid teams, and I like their coach. He always has them prepared, but they had won like 18-19 in a row til the lost to WOS that's kinda hard to do no matter who you playin. And Freeze some of those Ozen JV players were on varsity for a minute but got moved down. 8) :P....Also i talked to a FORMER HEAD COACH IN THE NCAA who coached at numerous places. He said it does matter what school you come from and the level competition you play against because that's how they evaluate you. If you played in 5a or 4a against stiffer competition and avgd let's says 18pts 8reb. its looks better than playing for 2a or 1a avg 28pts 12rebs against what they see as weak competition.. You generally don't see a lot of lower classification players on the high profile AAU teams unless their the best player on that team,I could be wrong but I don't see many. He said 3a is borderline and unless your outstanding you probably will end up at a judo or d1,d2 program..which there is NOTHING WRONG WITH..apples to oranges guys apples to oranges..

[/quote]I can definitely agree with you don't find many 3-A or below players on high level AAU or summer  teams. Chris Dumas (2-A) is the only player I can think of right now in this area who plays on a top team.

Very surprised at you.  You keep brining up the game against Central.  It is readily apparent that you dont understand that, in the playoffs, HJ only plays afainst schhols with similar enrollments.  Think about that for a minute,  That means they wont play a team like Central  While we are on this schedule issue, why isnt Central playing schools like DeSoto to be ready for the playoffs instead of lowly HJ?

  Yates?  According to you, HJ may not make the playoffs with weak schedule and Prudhomme gone and if they do, they will certainly lose before  getting to Yates.  Answer my question about Centrals schedule please.  Why arent they playing in a 5-a tourney in Houston or Dallas to get ready for playoffs?

Central has played in the two best tournaments in the area. Gamble and ymbl. Of course HJ go make the playoffs. Even though they might end up dplitting district with WOS. HJ was in a 2a tournament. Come on now
[/quote]Central has not went out of the BMT area to play anybody its all been with in 5 miles off there school. They could have play in the Pasadena tour. where the big boys play.

[/quote]    apparently thats different.  HJ playing East Chambers is not acceptable but Central playing Lumberton before district is good playoff preparation.  Every school has difficult and easy games but to hear some on this board, they would have you believe that this only happens at HJ and that HJ somehow selects their opponents and brackets in the tournaments they enter.  All that matters is playoff performance and Freeze has yet to tell me why 23-5 in playoffs is not better than anyone else around here has done in recent years

Central did not play Lumberton in non district. That game on Dec. 21 was a district game.

Bad comparison.
