prayers from Avery,Tx. Coach Carlisle was a great man & coach. Helped lots of fellow coaches out, a lot.

What about the Ferrell Center, in Waco? It's pretty centrally located, & I'd imagine Waco would roll out the Red carpet, as opposed to Austin (who doesn't give a #### about HS State tourneys).

good for frisco & Jody (their coach). AAU Academy does not deserve in UIL. They should get to play, however in another organization. Dealing with those dudes is an absolute nightmare!

do NOT believe a word, that anyone from AAA Academy says!

3 really good girls players in this tourney: Tatum's Kaylah Starling Avery's Taylor Bowles (scored about 130 pts) Lipan girl.....actually the Post & the guard. anyone know who all made girls all-tourney?

They have so many great skill athletes. What are they like in basketball? I don't hear a lot about them, come bb season. Kilgore seems to be really good @ hoops. w/ the same type of kids...?

13 total 4* & 5* recruits is insane! DT Smallwood is only a 3*, but OU has him rated as the #3 OVERALL DT in the nation. Coaches think he should be a 5*! We already have 5 of those guys committed, & if we get 3/4 more, lookout. This is the single highest ranked group of recruits we have ever had in here (in Stoops tenure).

This weekend, as OU is set to host TCU, they will also play host to the highest ranked group of recruits in Stoops tenure. Most of the recruits are 4* or 5* guys, & most are also ranked in the top 50 in the NATION! If we sign several of them, & they PAN OUT, then we could realistically be right back in the N.C. game again...maybe in 2 of the next 3 years! Boomer Sooner

The team with the most glaring need @ DT, RIGHT NOW, is OU. I wish this wasn't true...but it is. Don't know if he's interested in teh Sooners, but stud Frosh could come in & start from day one!

No other State's allow fb coaches to come in & wipe out families & staffs. He will be an asst fb coach there. Idabel fb instantly got better.

Any relation to Sam?

He will have more athletes than he ever dreamed of, in Idabel. ATHLETE factory!!! But, a Lot of discipline issues as well. If they ever decide to do things right in Idabel, LOOKOUT rest of the State. If Glen has the resolve to help see things through there, then there is a big payoff soon!

Foreman was an OU verbal for a LONG time. He'd rather go some place else, & their coaches wished him all the best. OU did want Leonard & his DT teammate, but both are semingly going elsewhere.... KD would fit perfectly into OU's offense. They have shown to REALLY emphasize the slot (Mark Clayton/Ryan Broyles AA's). KD reminds all the OU coaches of those two AA's.

Do not worry about practicing bb on bb gamedays. Auxillary lifts & core work can be implemented on thsoe days, as those 2 things should not be left out. If they buy in to that, then the wins will come. They will win by getting to all lose balls, outhustling & outtoughing their opponents. They will also not be beaten on the boards. if the other team can play tough, rebound & defend, however, there may be nights they get beat by 40 +. Don't worry about playoffs in bb, but that means you can get to track season MUCH sooner.... "We Will Win"

GREAT hire & great job by the Supt & TISD. They found the right person for the job. Tenaha is a place that does things right. It is simply the righ thing to do, when concerning girls athletics. I can't stand it when some programs pour everything they ahve into boys sports, or just fb, at the expense of girls athletics. Just like with your athletes...treat everyone the same. I once heard Lou Holtz (sufferin suckatash) say "People who feel good about themselves, produce great results". Tenaha girls hoops is about to explode! See you guys next December...!

who is the AD there? Is it the fb coach? I was thinking it was not, or maybe it was a former hd fb coach?

EVERYONE needs to attack Senator Patrick. He is behind the HUGE charter school push. I have no idea why he champions them so much. He's a sorry politician, no doubt there. They also get our public tax money. I, for one, do NOT want my tax money going to them. ALso, you should contact any of the UIL directors. 2/3 emails would only take about 5 minutes, & could do wonders! AAu Academy kids were not the objects of the boos: the situation was the object of the boos.

AllBig8 is spot on with his assesment. AAu Academy has 5 DI players. Their best player, King McClure #7 rated Sophy in the NATION, did NOT play in teh State torney. He will be back next year & AAu Academy will be better, as they have ZERO Sr's on the team! They wold beat Clarksville by 20 + They would beat Brock/White Oak by 20+ They would have a tremendous game w/ Madison!

TRust me, it was FAR worse than just "not shaking hands". He walked into the rosenbberg terry huddle, during timeouts, 2x, & the 2nd time teh Terry coach showed him his playboard (while laughing) & then patted him on the back. This looked to be a goodwill gesture by Terry coach. A'shawn SLAPPED his hand off his back & said something to him. Then, he fouled out on an intentional, albeit not dirty, foul. Foul was not called intentional, but it was, & his team still had an outside shot @ winning. He went down & sat 2 rows behind team, up in bleachers, & refused asst coach's plees to come set back w/ the team. After the game, he stormed off the court, taking #50 with him. Arlington Heights coach ran after them & sent #50 back to hsi teammates, & grabbed A'sham jersey. A'shawn pulled away from him & he brabbed his jersey again, pleeing with him to come back. A'shawn shoved coach's arms away & I was told he said " get the ef off me"! He then proceeded to walk towards & through the tunnel. He left to resoundign "BOOOOOS" throughout the stadium. Worst display of punkishness I've ever seen at State tourney. I'd think Bama would pull his scholly over that.

anyone hear about AAA Academy's asst girls coach filming the other semi-final, during the regionals? SUpposedly a Principal(of another Regional tourney team) filmed her, filming their game! More to come.... That is a huge rules violation!

Jackie SHip was/is a great coach & person. It was a mutual decision for him to leave. There is ZERO animosity between him & Stoops. OU just hired what they believe to be the #1 young DL coach in the nation, & are paying him out the whazoo for his services. GREAT person, more importantly. Hope this kid didn't bail on OU just cause coach Shipp decided to leave. EVERYONE is sad Shipp left, but this stuff happens in coaching... Hopefully he gets to know their new DL coach, Montgomery, & gives the Sooners another shot. I also hear OU is really after that WR!

Any chance the Sonners get in the mix? Have heard he is a really good kid to...

BOTH team are athletic & fundamentally sound. Should be a great game! Both teams have very solid coaching to.

That Idabel,Oklahoma boy , Jeff Coleman, sure can coach his butt off! Hard to understand, when he starts yelling, but he coaches a VERY disciplined game!

I'm the coach from Avery. AAA kids play w/ great passion & display sportsmanship. I have no comments about their coach. Last night was the first time I ever talked to him. Barring an unforseen miracle, they will win state easily. This team is far superior to the Clarksville team that won it all last year, & that is saying something! I was EXTREMELY proud of the class & sportsmanship my players displayed as well. It is a shame the UIL let them in, & put them in 1A. My son & daughter, & their teams, both had their seasons ended by this travesty. However, it is not the faults of the AAA kids, they just play where the UIL erroneously put them.
