Someone other than us must feel the same about the talent in MS because on Jan. 19, 2004, JSU will be the host site of the "Battle Of The Boarders". The top three LA. high school teams will play the top three MS teams.

From MS it will be

Callaway
Lanier
Provine

From LA I can only recall one city school, and that's a school from Dennum Springs.

sop83, take it from me, the three teams from Louisiana in this "tourney" are not the top 3 teams in the State of Louisiana. The three teams participating are Denham Springs, University Lab, and Bonnabel.

Denham Springs and Bonnabel are in Class 5A and University is in 2A. I've seen Denham Springs and University play this year and if I had to put together a Top 10 in the State of Louisiana, neither one of them would be in it. Both of them have excellent big men (singular) and they try to feature them. Denham Springs has a 6'7" junior star named Tasmin Mitchell. He's good but his supporting cast isn't all that great. I saw them lose to a Lake Charles area team, Sulphur High. The same goes for University Lab. They have 6'8" LSU signee Glen "Big Baby" Davis. He's good but the jury is still out on his supporting cast. I've seen them win a game because the team they were playing missed 8 free throws during the last 90 seconds of a game and then the next day saw them lose to a Class B school.

Now, as far as Bonnabel is concerned they can't beat the New Orleans Catholic league schools which tells me a lot. They can't be that good and would definitely not be in my Top 10.

This happens at non-traditional basketball schools that feature an All-American type player... especially when the team isn't an Academy/Prep School that recruits players.

Take Prentiss HS, a 3A school here in MS, for example. They have Al Jefferson, who is widely considerered as one of the top 5 players in the country. Yet they have backed out of at least 2 out of state tournaments featuring big time opponents. I don't blame them. Although Jefferson is arguably the best player in the nation, they don't really have anyone else who can compete on that level.

You mentioned that Taz doesn't have any help. I've read where Denham's guards have stepped up in games where he's been held below his average.




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With one of the nation's premier players locked in a nasty zone, Denham Springs (La.) went successfully to option No. 2.

Myrtle Beach contained Tasmin Mitchell on the offensive end, but couldn't find an answer for the Yellow Jackets' speedy backcourt in a 69-64 Beach Ball Classic consolation loss Monday at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

Point guard Jeremy Thomas led all scorers with 25 points as the Jackets penetrated the Seahawks' zone at will in the second half. Mitchell - rated one of the nation's top juniors - managed 16 points and 12 rebounds but wasn't much of a factor......

With Mitchell struggling to find holes in the zone, the backcourt duo of D.J. Thomas and Jeremy Thomas took over, slashing to the basket for easy layups. That allowed Denham Springs to increase its lead to 19 early in the half.

Do you know anything about Bonnabel? Their star Shan Foster turned down the likes of Kansas, Georgetown and LSU for Vanderbilit. Wonder if his supporting cast is any good.
 
Although I have heard of it before, I know absolutely nothing about Bonnabel. I think it's in Kenner, which ofcourse is a suburb of New Orleans. I follow high school football and basketball all over the State of Louisiana and Bonnabel is not known to be a power in anything. However, I'm thinking you hit the nail on the head about the Bonnabel kid and the non-traditional basketball school thing. Seems like he might be one of these highly recruited kids with not much around him.
 
I am not going to miss that Tourney.....Jackson Schools are gonna have a field day with the bait from Louisiana. lol.

p.s.

CALLAWAY vs. LANIER
TONIGHT @ JSU
Girls start at 5:30 I think.

Callaway Lady Chargers (#10 in the nation)
vs.
Lanier Lady Bulldogs

833 Bulldogs (#1 in the State)
vs.
C-Way (#6 in the State)
 
#14 MADISON CENTRAL - 47
#5 GRENADA - 46

;) ;) ;) :D :D :D :) :) :)
16-2 BIAAAAAAAAA

....ah that's the best record in the state. Look for the Jags to break the Top 5 if we beat #7 Clinton Saturday night. We lost to them by 1 last week....but this time the game is in Madison. MC has lost 2 games by a combined 3 points.
 
Very good, NT.:tup:

I see being that close to Jackson finally rubbed off on yall!:tup:

I was worried about MC for a minute......between a slaw basketball program and an "average" football team, I was beginning to think that Ridgeland HS had took all your athletes!

BTW, Coach Anderson has had his eyes on that guard yall got.;)
 
Yea, I hope we (JSU) can steal CJ. I think alot of schools are sleeping on the kid. He's really talented though.

What happened? lol.

I can't believe after all of this hoopla, these Jackson schools let some "better than average Louisiana high schools" beat them.

I mentioned Denham Springs and Tasmin Mitchell and that he was good but had nothing to support his talent. Point should be well taken. Lanier isnt the first team that beat them this season and won't be the last. Denham Springs is decent but won't even make the Top 28.

I told ya'll about Glen Davis and his lack of a supporting cast on that U-High team. But still a 2A school beating Mickey-Sippi's #5 ranked 5A team. LOL. And get this, UHigh isnt even the best 2A school in Louisiana.

And Bonnabel, hell, they cant beat the New Orleans catholic school teams and they beat Provine, your #2 rated team. lol.

Man, this is sad.

Another one that "couldn't care less about Sisippi Highschool. Hater #2, Provine came out and didn't play well. The verdict is still out on Calloway.

Lanier came in like the TOP HIGHSCHOOL TEAM they are and ran that arse back cross the river.

(Big dude need to stick to football).
