Chronicle: Will any 3A team challenge Yates?


Kountzer

Recommended Posts

" Will any 3A team challenge Yates? If Yates plays its best, the answer probably is no. If the No. 1-ranked Lions have even an average night, however, they could exit the playoffs early. Region III features more than a handful of ranked teams, including No. 8 Silsbee and No. 9 Navasota. Led by Silsbee, District 21 could prove to be a handful. No. 15-ranked Hardin-Jefferson lurks in the second round. No. 14 West Orange-Stark is on the top half of the bracket."

They're mostly talking about Region III.  Beyond that is a different story.

It will be a tough game for Silsbee but I think they can pull off a upset! They just need to play Tiger basketball for all 4 quarters!
[/quote]Just curious BlueOwl (hmmm Blue?) Have you ever seen Yates play?

They need to play TEAM basketball, not TIGER basketball........

I've seen both Yates and Silsbee play numerous times this year and truth be told the only thing that concerns me is Silsbee's inability to box out and rebound. HJ ate our lunch on the boards and given the fact that Yates has the size and the prowess to put back offensive rebounds is a legitimate obstacle. Should the Tigers make a concerted effort to "group" rebound the foul situation may come into play as well which may further impact the Tigers as the bench is not deep enough talent wise to make up any ground should they fall behind. That being said, I truly feel that those young men are going to mentally revisit last year's ending and dig down deep to "Go Get It!" I know for sure that Coach Sigler has scouted Yates throughout this season so that part of the equation shouldn't be a concern at all, players have to play and coaches have to coach as every team left is by no means a easy win.......

Exactly we must play our best all around te game all year and even that may not be enough.  If things don't go our way and we get down on each other it will get ugly real fast.  Just out if curiosity, how many players did Yates use during that first half?

I believe 8-9

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
