Bellville Basketball

[trg]

Bellville has their first district game this evening against Columbus. Any predictions?????

Good luck to the Bulls!!!

[Johnny Utah]

Should be a good one, each team has some Bigs and athletes. Gerik is a legend. I say Columbus, but just an opinion.

[trg]

Well you know I am pulling for the Bulls. I think the Bulls are gonna come out on top in this one and will be there tonight cheering them on.

[zebrablue2]

Bellville plays sealy next, what were the scores from the games that these two played? ( Bellville vs sealy) I think they have played each other 3 times already with Bellville winning all 3?

[Brahma84]

From the Chronicle:

70-49 in the Brazos Tournament
71-46 (Sealy JV) in the Brazos Tournament
81-58 in the Sealy Tournament

Bellville winning all three

No, they actually played 1/2 court. One of the goals had a bent rim, so they decided to play on just one side. :D

Browning was amazing. He should easily be district MVP. If he plays well all year he could get looks from colleges.

1 game and he should be district MVP? Columbus had a kid go for 34, so should he be Offensive MVP? Pretty sure it is a little early to be making those kind of statements. Take nothing a way he played a good game. To both teams, great game, hope both win until they meet again, will be another fun one to watch!

[TRENCHES06]

who won?

La Grange spanked Giddings.

Sophomore guard is pretty good.

[allforball]

Looks like LG and Smithville will be battling for 3rd place. LG soph is by far best player, LG lacks physical inside player.

[allforball]

Oops, sorry, forgot about Sealy, who beat Smithivlle. It will be a fight for the 3 playoff spots.

[STAggie]

Not to sound arrogant but Sealy really shouldn't loose a district game. Bellville is not 30 points better than them and never should have beat them by that many. They have to many big kids and athletes but due to an inexperienced coach, who has really come a long way from the beginning of the season, they have had some growing pains. They finally have it together and the rest of the district should watch out. Can't wait till Tuesday night. Should be a great game but I don't think Bellville will be seeing the 100 point mark again.

[Johnny Utah]

Tell PJ to help and get Coach Schu to run the clock!!! Go Tigers!!! A 6'8 kid that is a post in hs bball has a better chance going D1 in football as a lineman!!! Know, if the 6'8 kid is a guard, different story.

No not at all. This team is not the team you faced at the begining of the season. You will see tonight.

[trg]

Good luck to the Bulls tonight against Sealy!!!! Keep the winning tradition alive. Go #31

[Bull's-eye]

Bellville wins 77-63! Looks like Sealy won't go undefeated in district, but they have made some improvement.

Looks like Bellville and La Grange will be fighting for top spot in District in round 1.

I walked out of this game the last 2 mins. What a horrible display of basketball knowledge, skill, coaching, etc. etc. Sealy should have won this game. Being up by 2 with 2 mins left and letting it get to the point it did, is absolutely horrendous. We do the stupidest things and have no idea how to "play" basketball". If I were the coach there would be a lot of tired players at practice today.

[BTownVBall3]

Sealy was up 2 with 2 minutes left, yet lost by 14? Something doesn't add up..

[Johnny Utah]

STAggie, be nice. Going to take some time to develop basketball skills and game knowledge. Athletes are great, but if they do not have basketball savvy it wont matter. They will get it going and compete for a spot.

The thing is these kids should have it. By the time you are at varsity level you should know how to play the game. Sealy will never be truely successful until the can develop the kids from jr high and teach them these things at the younger ages so by the time they get to varsity they compete. It is just frustrating.

[Johnny Utah]

That is why it is called BUILDING a program. Takes time. Can not nor will it happen over night.

I know this, but from 2003-2005 Sealy made the playoffs even going a couple rounds deep two of those years. The talent is there lets get the program up to speed with it.

[Johnny Utah]

And that had a lot to do with a different group(They are not all the same from year to year) a different Coach and his STUD SON!!! Makes a big difference.

Brantly was a great player but was no stud on the basketball court. He could bang though and grabbed a ton of rebounds. I was team captain of the '03 team and we had a good distribution of points and played lights out d. Something these new kids have no idea about.

[Johnny Utah]

I am trying to tell you to be patient, some groups get it, some dont, the joys of coaching. You will see one day.

[Johnny Utah]

Then you will experience what I am trying to tell you. You have no idea, looks easy to some.....but could possibly be the most demanding job in the universe, and you get to teach classes as well as drive a bus, play parent, grade, become technology savy, inservices, training, educational hours, discipline, odd and long hours, subpar pay because their are no days off for a coach. I will think of more. Oh....your judged on wins and losses and the destiny of that is controlled by teenagers. You do not recruit your players, you have to develop them or at least get lucky once and a while and have great talent pools. Evaluate, cut, keep, manage egos, peers, all while staying professional and raise a family, attend other functions, stay current with issues, education, you name it. Not done yet....Be very sound at X's and O's because other coaches are very good and be able to handle all that comes with a team, chemistry, rapport, parents, girlfriends, problems, fights, grades, sickness, seasons....

Understand your frustration, but how many basketball coaches has Sealy had since Brantley left, 2 or 3 I think. It is hard to build a program when the turnover is like that. I am sure the COACH is just as frustrated about the situation as the FANS, but he has much more riding on the success of the team than someone who pays to come and watch. Give him a little time, he is a good guy who is running into a tough first year as the head basketball coach. If he gets to stick around, get his style of play in at the younger levels, and get some support from the public who knows what could happen! Right now they just don't have the scorer like a Palmer and the inside presence of a Brantley, but those things run in cycles.

My complaint wasn't so much against the coach, I know him personally and have complete faith in him. He has already made huge strides since the beginning of the season. My complaint is more general with just the state of basketball being played. Things that these players should have learned while growing up playing ball just aren't there. Anyway just a rant on the lack of fundamentals in all of basketball, just so happens the team I root for was a basis for it. Also, this team has two guys who could be more dominant than Brantly with Miller and Terry and a guy like King who could get to the basket every time if he played with a little more control. This team just needs some swagger and the attitude that they can play with anyone.

Bellville vs La Grange Tuesday night in La Grange, You know what im talkin about.
Go Bellville!!!!!!!

[RedStorm]

That Sealy Aggie guy really has nothing to talk about now since Bellville has already whooped up on them 3 or 4 times this year. Being from Sealy and being an Aggie doesn't make for the brightest individuals

Lookout, we need a win to stay in the District race. Looking forward to watching a face pace game, LG's half quart offense not nearly as effected as running the floor. No inside game . Only problem LG has only 5 or 6 players who can run the floor, so fatigue will be an issue. Need our sophmore to have a big game, him having a big game opens other players up. Also I am looking forward to seeing Bellville play, have not seen a really good team in our District that can make some noise in the playoffs.

What's funny is this latest win wasn't a "whoppin" but more like a melt down by Sealy in the last 4 minutes. As far as me being an Aggie well there is nothing wrong with holding a degree from one of the best universities in the nation. But judging from the ignorance in your post you don't know much about higher education.

[AggiesAreWe]

I could not remember how many players and starters Bellville had returning this season. Could someone help me out?

I think the move to Region 4 will be beneficial, you won't have to face my Silsbee Tigers until Austin.:D

[Johnny Utah]

Region 4 goes through Sam Houston and West Oso.

So in your saying it was a fluke or Bellville didn't earn it? But when you beat a team 3 times you are clearly the better team. As to higher education I'm not here to brag about what University i went to...but aggies do put to much stock in their ranks as an elite university.

Not trying to brag just think it is absurd to bash someone for holding a degree from a University. Especially one that is considered by many to one of the best publicly funded schools in the nation. As far as Bellville not earning the win in district, that is not what I am applying. My comment was more on the "whopping" term. It was a 2 point lead for Sealy with around 2-3 minutes left. Would you not call it a melt down by Sealy to end up loosing by double digits? Not saying Bellville didn't earn it, but they got considerable help in the form of a meltdown and capatilized on it. Much the same way Sealy did in football against Bellville this year.

[trg]

Good luck to the Bulls tonight versus La Grange. Sealy game is done will see them again in a couple weeks.

Good luck to all teams for an injury free game tonight.
