Chris Parrot

[DSport]

I see this kid's stats and feel bad that he has little if no help. Is this kid overlooked as a great player because of his lack of quality teammates or are his numbers inflated because of his lack of quality teammates?

Parrott is a great athlete but has no support. He is probably the best player in D3.
I'm sure if he had players around him he'd still score, but he has the complete game from what I hear so he'd probably have more assists. But, it's Parrott and four other guys usually on the floor.

Chris is a great player, he played with brent owens andeven though those two were on the same team parrot still had good numbers so whether he has a robin on his team or not hes still gonna be great

I'm not sure you can call anyone "great" who has led his team to just two wins this year...
He's probably the third best player in that division with Colville (Geneseo) and Messana (York) both ahead of him.
He can shoot inside or out, and can post up when needed but he lacks consistency, much like his team.

[BigVFan]

Have you happened to see the other guys on Parrott's team? He gets constantly double teamed every game and still puts up good numbers. He should be a lock to be playing in the Mcdonalds game for the livingston county as they get 3 from their league. I would think it would be Owens, parrott and eithe Beaumont or Hunt as the 3rd. I got to believe messana wouldn't even be considered for that game

Parrott has no chance for McDonald.
There are several players ahead of him on the list.
Beaumont, Schirmer, Hodownes, Brizzee, Koch, Hunt, Schwartz, Owens, Lauffer, Vokes, Messana.
There's no way a player from a two-win season in the LCAA will make that game — period.

[UNCTarheels]

Congratulations Chris Parrott on Breaking Warsaws All time 3 point Record!

With 31 points last night, including 3-3s he broke the school record for career 3-pointers - he now has 97 beating the old mark of 95 set by Tim Callahan in the mid-90s.

[BigVFan]

I messed my post up.....i tried quoting rockandroll who said"no player from a 2 win team will make mcdonalds game" I think he has a very good chance of making it

[hilly]

I think Parrott and Brent Owens of Letchworth should be locks. Warsaw has two wins but Parrott puts up the best numbers in probably all of Livingston.

[hoopsfan]

I agree that Owens should def. make it but there is no way that Parrot belongs in over Hunt and/or Beuomont--the 2 best players from the LCAA DI co-champs! Have you seen either of those kids play Hilly?? I can guarantee you that Parrott doesn't put his numbers up against the Hunt kid!

I have not seen them play, but every time Warsaw plays it seems Parrott is one of the top two or three scorers out of all the teams we report on.
I would think one kid from each division would make it and he's got to be the top one in D3.

[hoopsfan]

I have to respecfully disagree. The LCAA has never took 1 player from each Division...it's always been the top 3players regardless of where theye are and I believe that the top 3 players are Beaumont, Hunt, and Owens. If you put anyone of those 3 players on Warsaw's putrid team, I'm sure they'd manage the same type of stat-line. Plus he's doing it against the Mt. Morris, York, Keshequa, and Geneseo's of the world. Not the HF-L, Hornell, and Livonia's and that does make a big difference!

We'll have to agree to disagree here because I don't cover and D1 schools, but I think Parrott shouldn't be penalized because his team sucks. The kid is easily the best player in that division and would be an easy choice if his team was even .500.

[rockandroll34]

Numbers and scoring don't mean a thing — it's wins not stats Hilly, when are you going to understand that???
Parrott wouldn't average eight points a game if he played in D-I. There is a huge difference in talent between D-I and D-III. This will be like the fourth year in a row that the D-III champ has a losing overall record.

Are you really going to try to take shots at Hilly again?

Again, another statement by somebody that doesn't get high school sports. It isn't all about wins as much as you might want it to be. If it were all about wins, players from losing teams wouldn't make league all-star teams.
The McDonald game is as much about rewarding players that have had great careers, not were the best player on a team that won a lot of games. Parrott has been a varsity starter for four years, has a reputation as a very nice kid (I've always thought so too when I've interviewed him for football) and has been a very good player in Livingston Conference.
Turn off your AC/DC records and put some thought into things you say, please. And I have to ask like I do every time you make one of these posts ... Have you ever been to a McDonalds game? I go every year and don't remember seeing you at one.

[Section5sportsguy]

I once played Chris Parrot in one-on-one. Lost 11-7.

We all know you never even played hoops Hilly, you were a tennis player, so what would know about the game anyways. I played every year of high school, you didn't. Your lone knowledge of Warsaw hoops comes from calls in every night to the office from their coach. You haven't even seen the kid play this year, I've seen him play twice.
I've in fact been to four straight Ronald McDonald games.
So you need to put down the tennis racket, throw a few contacts in those eyes of yours, pump down your ego and stick to something you have a little knowledge on.

[Section5sportsguy]

Listen R@R, if you really have a problem with Hilly or another member, instead of verbally harassing them on a public forum, I suggest you take the high road and keep it to private messages. Or don't say harrassing remarks at all :)

[DSport]

I started this thread to talk about Chris Parrot being a good player on a bad team. Hilly agrees but others aparently think bad teams can't have a good player.

Parrot is a good player. Its too bad he is surrounded by subpar talent. Its like the old poop and the ice cream adage. You can add all the ice cream (Parrot) you want to poop (the bad supporting cast), but that good thing is not going to cure a bad thing. In contrast, if you add poop (the bad supporting cast) to the ice cream (Parrot), its going to ruin the good thing, and make it look not as good.

[boobiemiles]

hahaha. strange but true

[boobiemiles]

haha wow. you know he's serious when he throws stfu in there

I think my poop and the ice cream situation also applies to Sectionvtalksback and rockandroll34.

Even if Parrott gets double teamed he still shoots it. I'm pretty sure if you took anyone from Hornell, HFL, Cal-mum, or Avon they could put up numbers like that shooting every trip down. He's a good player on a bad team. Nothing more.

[Section5sportsguy]

Who is rockandroll34?

[hilly]

Anyway ...
Despite my personal problems with the homeless guy, I want to talk about Chris Parrott.
The kid will be playing in the Ronald McDonald game because he deserves it. I talked to a coach that has seen him play a bunch of times over the years and he said he will vote for Parrott as his top choice.
I'm pretty sure a lot of other guys will too because making the team is an honor that is given to players for what they have done in their careers.
I'm pretty sure Wolfley will make it from the GR ... and my other choice would be Bochicchio.
My Livingston choices are Parrott and Owens ... with one of the Avon kids (not totally sure which one deserves it because I don't cover them).

i agree

[xxlvbball]

i'm good friends with chris, and he ran with us in a couple 3-on-3s last spring. the kid is a great player all-around and absolutely deserves to make the team. he gets knocked for being successful on a bad team, which is just as ridiculous as when ppl say wolfley is only good cuz hes kinda tall. they're both great players, just accept it.

[xxlvbball]

also, whereas some kids may relish the individual achievements, chris just wants to win. its not about him. the reason hes scoring 30 points in games and breaking records is because he's doing everything within his power to try to help that team win. He's extremely humble, and theres something to be said for that as well.

[rockandroll34]

Listen Livingston, I did not play hoops in high school. I was a tennis player, and a damn good one. I'm very proud of that.
I also know I would probably own you in hoops at this point, and I haven't played for real in a long time. Just because I didn't play in high school doesn't mean I didn't have game ... I used to run with the No. 1 ranked D3 team in the country in college.
Your writing sucks, you look like you are a bum and I'm willing to bet the only reason you played in high school is because the slow class had a team.
You bad-mouth high school kids on a website because you are a total loser. Parrott is a very good player on a bad team and I'll lead the charge for him getting in the McDonald game if I have to.
Quit talking smack about kids and go trade in your food stamps for blocks of cheese, or whatever it is you eat. Although you might want to not buy food. Get some soap and shampoo or something because you really need it.


Hilly, You think you're so good at what you do but the simple fact is you are average at best. You act like you are the greatest writer in the world but you are no better than me. I will put up my paper, and my stories, to any of yours!!!!
As for me being homeless, that's only because your mother kicked me out!!

I do not believe that you write better than Hilly. I look forward to reading his columns in the Daily. And congrats on your last post, since you are going to get carded for saying that.

[hilly]

I'm putting an end to the smack talk with Livingston. He can say all he wants about me, but I think my record speaks for itself.
It has become childish and I'm going to take the high road and put an end to this.

This thread is supposed to be about Parrott and I'm still going to say he deserves to be in the McDonald game and I'm pretty sure he'll be in it. You can't punish the kid because his team isn't very good.

exactly. the criteria for making the game is incredibly contradictory. if a kid plays for a good team, he usually doesnt put up the kind of individual numbers necessary to get votes. if a kid puts up monster numbers, its usually because he plays on a bad team and is the only good player, for which he is shunned because his team is bad? so if you're team is good, numbers drop. when your numbers sky, your team sucks. neither will apparently get you into this game. what do they want from us?

15+ a game on at least a .600 team.

[garnet21w]

Parrot is so good.
Seriously, I feel bad for that kid

[Rams15]

Parrot has a bunch tonight. Not sure how many. The kid can shoot.
Score at the end of 3 quarters; Bath 68 Warsaw 46

Bath must have 8-10 threes themselves in 3 quarters.

[rockandroll34]

That's my point I was trying to make, there's no way a kid belongs in a prestigious game like the McDonald game when his team gets pounded by a team like Bath. I'm not trying to take anything away from Bath, but they've struggled all year. Parrott is a solid player, and very well could play D-III college ball, but you can't put his name in the same elite category as Hunt, Schwartz, Beaumont, Howdownes, Owens and Lauffer...

[rockandroll34]

Great players make bad players even remotely decent. I have seen numerous great players compete on 8-12 teams — teams that would have been 0-20 without their star. But 8-12 isn't 3-17 in one of the weakest divisions (LCAA D-III) in Section V. Here's an easier example for you to understand...
If you put Ryne Hunt on Warsaw, they win eight games, because he has the ability to make other players better.

[sHooTiN 3's]

I'm not sure you can call anyone "great" who has led his team to just two wins this year...
He's probably the third best player in that division with Colville (Geneseo) and Messana (York) both ahead of him.
He can shoot inside or out, and can post up when needed but he lacks consistency, much like his team.

you are absolutley insane if you think messana and COLVILLE are better then parrot. those kids arent even on the same level as parrot

[hilly]

Parrott made the McDonalds game for Livingston, by the way.

Have you ever seen Chris Parrot play? Or Warsaw? From the way you talk I don't think you have. If you've seen Warsaw play you would realize how bad Warsaw really is.

[CAL12]

GET OFF PARROR'S BACK!! He is playing on a team with 4 guys that would not start on any other team. Besides that, we have got to lay some blame on the coach. Granted, Chris is getting his points, but if you have seen this team play, you could only hope that Chris is getting every shot. All the offenses should be based around what he is going to do. This may be the difference between their record and a team that competes on a nightly basis. Coaches have more of an impact than you think!!!!!

[coachstew]

I saw Parrot play tonight against RJ. He played well, and the game was close for a half. Second half they had no answer for RJ

[rockandroll34]

Congrats Chris Parrott on making the Ronald McDonald All-Star Game. He's a good player.
I am still trying to figure out how Ryne Hunt or D.J. Schwartz didn't make it in...

Obviousy he isn't too inconsistent since he is playing in the Ronald McDonald game. He deserves to be there. As a player he is right up there with players like Owens. It would be dumb to keep a great player out of the RM game just because he team wasn't all that great. The RM game isn't about what the teams did during the season. It is abou the indivuidual players who are great at basketball and deserve to be rewarded for what they have given to their programs and to the game of basketball. I was just just curious to know if Wolfley from Attica did make it from GR region, because to me Parrot is as good as him. I mean i know he is going to D1 and all, but when i saw him play i wasn't all that impressed. I mean i saw him play letchworth and owens did a great job of defending him. I don't know if it was just the great defense of owens or he had an off night, but i was not impressed enough to believe he will succeed at the D1 level.
