[Texas State Record] Yates annihilates Lee High School 170-35

Go look up Lee High School...and then think again about whether the coach had his team unprepared or could have changed the result. I've talked to 5 different high school coaches today in the area from various school districts and they think this was beyond Bush by the Yates Coach. They said the problem though is as much the principal/administration at Yates because he thinks shoving it the opponents face is a good thing. They also said, if you think last night was bad, just wait until they play Jeff Davis High.

Speaking of Bush, Fort Bend Bush is one of the top 5A teams in the area.
I saw them pulverize Lee 100-50 during a tournament. They did no pressing (which they usually do against most opponents). They did not leave their starters in after the midway point of the 2nd quarter. Yates was going to blow out Lee High School no matter how they played. The coach chose to maximize the embarrassment level and make for a very uncomfortable situation.

 

You know what, I apologize to everyone I offended in thread. I looked up Lee HS's record this season and it's 1-12. I apologize because, as you can see from their schedule this season , they have gotten blown out more than once this year and this game should have ended when Yates scored 110 or 119 points.

 

You forgot C, Schaud.

C) The team that leads 100-12 at halftime says "Look, this is enough. Lets call it a game", leaves, and humiliation faced by the Lee players would still happen.

 

And JY wasn't "throwing bombs" either. They ran their normal offense and defense with their worst players. Katy doesn't take a knee every down when they are up big, or allow the opponent to score. That's basicslly what you are asking Yates to do. They put their scrubs in and had them play hard. That's as good as it gets pal.

And I didn't bring Bellaire up. But since they were mentioned, yes I think it's interesting that they are never called out for that. No, I don't think Bellaire or Strake would be as criticized for going after a record, or Katy. But that's more of a inner city school thing then a racial thing. I do know Yates has been damn good for 3 years now and never got as much pub as they are getting now for supposedely running up the score. Do you recall much coverage of their national ranking, or their recent tourneys in Hawaii or Alabama? This could be one of the best teams from this area in nearly 15 years and we hardly hear about them.

 

But the team that leads gets the L. How bout the losing team leaves?

BTW, they're discussing on SportsNation right now.

 

lol I would prefer for the refs to just call the game in that situation if it came to it.

But guess what that would also be controversial.

It looks like this situation was going to be controversial either way.

 

People think I have no class or common sense because of what I posted on here and they can go on and think that. If they have played any semblance of organized sports in high school on up, they should know the LAST thing I would want, if my team were to be blown out, was to know that the other team is mailing it in with plenty of time left because they felt sorry for my ass. In other words, if you're going to beat my team, at least go through with it. I'm sure the Lee kids felt the same way. Sure they were getting murdered on the court but the last thing they probably wanted was to get any pity/sympathy from Yates. If you're going to lace up and step on the court, you better prepare yourself mentally for either outcomes.

 

That's why I said the easiest thing for this was a Mercy Rule. No coach has to decide to surrender/forfeit/quit.

It keeps **** like this from happening. You put a 50-60 point blow out rule in and stuff like this wouldn't happen. The winning team gets the satisfaction that they came away with a blow out and played their hardest and the losing team is spared the humiliation of possibility getting blown out by 135 points.

 

I would be fine with the whole thing had the coach just called off the press. Calling a full-court press sends a message to his players to run up the score.

Calling it off would slow down the game enough that a 110-35 game barely cracks the headlines. It would also teach the scrubs for Yates that they can still score as much as they can, but also play good half-court defense.

 

yeah, that's why the game was fight free! the kids enjoyed their beatdown.

 

Lee didn't tapout therefore they got their arm snapped.
____________ (bottomline)

 

So 110-35 would have been an acceptable score for you after being down 100-12 at the half? As a Lee player I would be more insulted to know that Yates allowed us to win the second half 23-10.

Hell, a second half score of 70-23 shows JY did let up! Now I'm mad!

 

I'm interested in whether or not you've ever played organized sports at all. If you have, I would have to further question whether or not you've been on the receiving end of a blow out and would rather see the other team mess around and play half ass.

 

You forgot that, after Lee got their arm snapped, they asked reporters why Yates didn't stop its armbar when it looked like victory was in hand already. It was a lack of respect for Yates to snap Lee's armbar because the grimace and the yells coming from Lee were enough for Yates to stop trying.

 

I haven't read any other posts since this one yet so pardon me if this has been addressed but am responding since this was addressed to me.

I haven't seen Yates play since the late 80's so I don't know what they do that said I find it very difficult to say that the team can only play trap D and if that is the case I would say that is a big mistake since good teams will just prepare to beat the trap and take them out of their comfort zone. In that case the Yates' coach could've used the time to train his kids to play half court and a ball control offense since they are likely to encounter that situation at some point.

Finally I don't think you should use another team as a punching bag for practice. Yes you should work on your skills in the game but at the sametime when you so clearly have the opponent out classed you don't gain much from constantly running your A game against them.

 

The score was 53 - 6 at the end of 1 quarter. Top scorers amassed 138 total points for Yates. - http://www.chron.com/sports/highsch...&Sport=6&ID=50697&TeamID=748&SearchType=Teams

On January 23, 2010, Yates will play DAVIS. Davis is 0-12 and 6 of their 12 opponents have scored 100 or more.

In extremes, Davis' tallest player is 6'0" (135 lbs.), while Yates' tallest is 6'9" . Davis' heaviest player is 160 lbs. (5'8" tall), while Yates' heaviest is a 250-pound (6'5" tall) player.

YATES will beat the 200-point mark in that game, unless Davis plays with Avatars .

 

i played basketball until i was on the first district championship in katy history. the only thing close to this was a 40-point loss in 8th grade and the coach on the other team did stop pressing once it was clear they had the game wrapped up in the 3rd. i didn't whine about them not pressing and i'm sure lee wouldn't have either.

 

I didn't take the halftime score into account. How about calling off the press after the 1st quarter then, does that make you feel better?

 

I watched Yates play Seven Lakes out in Katy a few weeks ago. Yates HS is one cocky group of people, but high school ball is serious over there.
