Was told by someone last night that if you live around Houston and are great at basketball you go to Yates, and if you are great at baseball you go to Bellaire.

It is what it is!!!

Yates has a team full of recruits and a bully for a coach! Wise thinks he owns Houston. Yates isn't the best school in Houston. FB Bush, FB Travis, Seven Lakes, and North Shore are better without recruits every year!
[/quote]Here's the difference: Those schools you named are NOT in Houston. They are in the suburbs. Do you live in Houston? No. You live in Cypress.
[/quote]
Could not have said it better myself, Abe!  And furthermore, North Shore and FB Bush are the ONLY LEGITIMATE PROGRAMS of the ones you named. The others are "IF a player lands there" driven. Watch how BAD FB Travis gets after this season... ;)
[/quote] Travis will be like FB Eisenhower

Who knew there were so many hard core Republicans on this board?  I mean, I would have never guessed that there were this many people in favor of school choice.

The communication on display during and after the game last night by the Yates guys was outstanding.  The vocabulary, just incredible!  The Reverend Yates would have been so proud.

Don't know you , but you are going to keep Rev. Jack Yates name out of your mouth...Don't know what you meant, don't care, but THAT name you need to not refer to in any negative way. So serious.

EDIT**
Upon further review, I see your statement meant no harm...I recant the previous statement... 8)

DV I don't think meant anything deragatory towards him.  I believe it was more towards the language those players must have used.

You may be right, I read it again, but, just in case he THOUGHT about saying something negative, he should re-think that one.... ;)

Now 3A can see what 4A has been dealing with. You just can't compete on an even playing field with teams like Yates that recruit. Come on, a 7'4 from another country coming to play at Yates. Gimme a break.  Quit hiding recruiting under the "Wise coaches AAU, but they're not Yates players" or the "Yates is a magnet school" garbage.
[/quote] Its not the coach's fault that he is approached by handlers, who are looking for the better programs to put their kids ;)

Some coaches simply have character and ethics while others do not. It is what it is.

EXCELLENT POINT! Hmmmmm, I wonder what they would say? ::) ::)

There are better schools in the nation for athletics, and we all know there are better high schools in the nation for an education. So why would someone come into the country and pick Jack Yates.?
[/quote]
Perhaps you didn't know this so I will tell you...Yates has one of the TOP schools of communications programs in TEXAS..They work closely with the University of Houston's communication department, AND they serve as the training ground for most of the area media outlets...Shocking, isn't it? ::) ::)...That could be ONE reason... 8)

I was being sarcastic about that being the reason, but the magnet school of communications IS a really good one...Phylicia Rashad (Claire Huxtable on the Cosby Show) and her sister Debbie Allen are alums that back the school financially still...

No matter where you are. If you build a program up,even if it is started out by recruiting, and your winning every year, you wont have to recruit anymore because kids are going to want to join a winning program. If a kid move in and wants to go where the best basketball is played most likely they will direct them to Yates, because they are known for winning and gaining exposure.

I agree with you Freeze.  And there is nothing like a level playing field when its time to compete.

Not sure what the "language" comment was referring to as far as the Yates players, but I do know that a couple of them told the HJ cheerleaders to "Get the F--- off of our floor".  HJ cheerleaders happened to be behind the basket on the baseline at the same end where Yates was warming up prior to the game.

Also one of the Yates players (#2) fouled Sammy Mitchell, knocking him down (no big deal), but then stood over him and bumped him when he tried to get up.  #2 got a technical for it, and then acted surprised about it.

No question Yates tries to intimidate.  They were the better team and they won the game, but I think it was pretty clear that they did not intimidate HJ.  The game was still very competitive (margin was about 7) when Dylan Mays picked up his 4th foul mid-to-late 3rd quarter.  After that, the size and depth factor really kicked in and that was that.  Yates was much, much deeper, and obviously much bigger.

* Also a side note, #12 Swift for Yates is not in shape.  He was huffing and puffing a lot.  Good player, but they had to sub him out every few minutes and he was sucking air bad.  Problem is, they just rolled in another about his size...

**Another side note, I was very surprised to see Coach Wise whining and complaining to the refs so much.  On reputation, I expected him to be a cool customer.  I almost expected cool detachment (a la Paul Benton for those from Houston who may know him).  Not the case.  He spoke to the refs almost as much as he spoke to his team.

HJ girls beat the Yates girls the other night in the playoffs.  I guess there arent that many females who come to Yates as communications majors.

It is amazing how many top notch high profile basketball players want to major in communication. Coincidence I guess.
