sports r us Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Still doesn't show season average or did they start keeping stats when whataburger was over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittsburg Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Still doesn't show season average or did they start keeping stats when whataburger was over? No, thats counting Whataburger tournament. And they had ten games before that and they were 6-4 with lossing to #5 Martins Mill and #9 Tyler Chapel Hill and beating Clarksville, and playing in a Longview and Tatum tournament. They were all around the same points % for all the games so i just started with the Whataburger tournament because I forgot what the other scores were.

stevosev7 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 as biased as this sounds, there is no way that list is correct without trentson hill on it...i haven't seen a game where he didn't score less than 16 points...i guess it was just stats that were submitted or something...

Well if you are from Mt. Pleasant I'm sure He would not be on their if you dont report your scores to the LNJ. (Remember the topic! Longview Area!)

Pitt is less than 30 mins away MPCH plays a lot of Longview area teams, and we are talking about compaired to Tyler Area teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsktballfan Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 wow, pittsburg has the "cleanest" stats of any team ive seen..how convenient ALL of their stats end with .0 or .5 I know pitt is good, real good but that just doesnt seem accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittsburg Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 stevosev7... i dont know if my message sent but he is Omar Saleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Mark Farmer is averaging a double double every game and Pittsburgh averages 21 steals per game according to the stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports r us Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I checked Maxpreps who had 12 games listed for Pitt and added the scores for Peaster, Mt Vernon, Rusk and Martin Mills for 16 games out of 20 per their record. Looks like I am missing the Longview tourney games other than Pinkston. They are averaging 66.56 points per game in those 16 games. They would have had to score near 100 plus in the other 4 games just to get average up to the 5 players listed at 72.5 points per game. It is nice to recognize your kids but...accuracy might count for something!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont post on this topic if you dont have good things to say about all the teams on here, not just Pitt. Other wise, stop being a hater, which you are :thumbdown: Mount Vernon was already added in, so right their, you dont know what your doing, and Maxpreps is always wrong and never as the right scores or all the games. (And if your averaging the 5 players then do you have the players points per game? Then adding each of those up to find out what theirs was in each game, and then adding and subtracting other players that played in each game and players that did not play in some games, then adding them with the whole teams score and then dividing that?) didnt think so. That average of 75 is for the total points of the games, not each players points in each game. And now in district, which is all that matters, they are averaging 79 points per game and allowing 59.5 And stop whining to me, its from the LNJ. Its from the games they have... dont just get on something just to complain, id hate to be around someone that complains about everything all day.

JackFan Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Stats are reported by coaches and do not come from box scores. If a player does or doesn't show up on the list, then it's up to a coach from each team to report the stats to the LNJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will make it simple for you. If your team is averaging less than than the FIVE players averages reported it is IMPOSSIBLE. Show me which scores on maxpreps is inacurrate. Doubtful! It doesn't make me classless because I used some math skills to figure out the stats your coach submitted are wrong. How about some respect for the coaches that take the time to do it RIGHT and the kids that get over looked because someone wants to smudge stats.

The stats are correct, just go watch them play. Tell your coach to schedule a warm-up game and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upandunder Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 This is a comical thread.....all I am going to say is that anyone who has seen them play, and kept up with box scores, and own a basic calculator, knows some statistics do not add up correctly. Boydawg........ quit getting so offended when all the rest of the mathematically proficient people of the world point out the obvious boosting of team/individual numbers reported to the paper. It doesn't mean Pittsburg isn't any good, it just means some basic math concepts have been skipped or ignored. Best of luck in District!!!!

bsktballfan Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 have to back sports on this one...not hating either..i realize many of the pitt players need to be on that list. but i have heard at least three coaches comment that there is no way the stats reported are accurate from pitt. unless you are only averaging two games u dont get .5 or .0 endings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenchamp Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 What the stats cant be right just cause it ends in them numbers or are you hating that Pitt has at least 5 players in every category. Go to the game and watch them play you will see why their in the tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcatguru22 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 actually, i'm not sure kendall wright is the highest scorer.. courtney jackson from paris is averaging close to 25 points a game, and 10 rebounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydawg1 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 He might not be the leading scorer BUT, your coach didnt send in his stats, so therefore, he is the leading scorer for this week, as a matter of fact, he could lead the entire state in scoring very easily, but he has a good team around him and everyone is getting their share.
