HJ2012

I want to know exactly what you think you know about it. I've seen multiple posts here showing these guys do, in fact, know about Obamacare. Yet, nothing from you?

You think it's a recruiting tactic?

What does the NCAA say about this and when is it supposed to happen?

SFA. Far more neutral. Plus, it helps that some of us go to school at SFA!  ;D ;D ;D

Okay, here are my two cents. For those of you that don't know, I am, well, I WAS a player as of last friday at around ten o'clock. I have played HJ basketball for 4 years now, and I can honestly say that in all my four years, I have never seen a team as disciplined as LaVega. They were in a lot of ways like Nederland except far more athletic. They did nothing dumb or flashy, they just played solid, fundamental basketball. Players from LaVega were where they were supposed to be at all times. When we went up one with forty seconds left and tried to make the pass up the court to get it across and stall, the LaVega players knew they needed to get the ball. They knew who our go-to guy was Prudhomme, so they stuck to him like glue. No timeout was needed to tell their players where to be. The defense they played was awesome. Not perfect, but awesome. They started out soft and let you get the ball up the court for the first part of the game, then around the third quarter, they started a little half-court trap defense, then once crunch time came around, there was full-court pressure! HJ knew how to beat it and had prepared for it, but Friday night, after getting ready to take the floor because Athens was shooting free-throws to win it basically, and then having to wait through TWO overtime periods did something to both teams that night, I can promise you that. LaVega was a [s]good[/s] great team. Their will to win was just like that of HJ's. They were not unbeatable, and anyone who watched Friday night could have told you that. HJ, I dare to say, COULD have one that game, but I don't think SHOULD have one the game. Were we capable of winning that game? NO DOUBT!!!!! But capability, probability, and actuality are three totally different things that can be extremely painful when they all don't agree. Now for the most important part of my post. LaVega's basketball team (not it's fans, because I am hearing differently of them, although I'm not positive about them) was the classiest group of young men I have seen in a LONG time (aside from HJ of course). They were extremely happy that they one that game, but when we went to shake their hands, there was not an ounce of sneering or disrespect coming from them. All they had were positive things to say about us and I think that is the most important aspect of High-School athletics. After the game when we were waiting on the bus to come pick us up at the back of the Coliseum, they came out AGAIN and shook all of our hands, congratulating us on a great season and complimenting all of us. They were extremely well-mannered, and if I HAD to lose to anyone, I'm glad it was them.

Unless I'm totally mistaken, I didn't see any other districts with two teams still in the playoffs at this point. Could you argue that 21-AAA is the toughest district in the state based on this?

[/quote] Well that is because SETXsports has a BUNCH of folks who are willing to share the info they get when they go to the games. [/quote] Not just that, we have a BUNCH of folks who are simply willing to GO to the games!

It worked in Aransas Pass!!! 6 three's in the first quarter of one of the games!!!  ;D ;D ;D

That's got to be a scary thought. Stopping one just leads to another going off!!!

Updates?

Come on Hamshire!!!!!

I know they had a pretty good beat-down of Seals-Jones and co., but how does Royal compare to Silsbee? (I apologize if there were comparisons made in a different thread and I missed them.)

To knock of West Orange in the manner they did, and then the thrashing of Cleveland (who, just last year, played HJ in a really close game in Baytown) just shows that they have come a long way. And, I really am pulling for HF to beat Navasota. [b]I think that would be awesome for HF to go to Regionals after all of the adversity they had to overcome this season. Go Horns![/b] [/quote] In order for Hamshire-Fannett to go to regionals they would not only have to beat Navasota, but also beat the winner of HJ and Sealy. ;) [/quote] I consider the Regional Quarterfinals to be Regionals. They may not be playing in Huntsville, but the banner would still say REGIONAL Quarterfinalist.  ;) [/quote] These are the banners that teams put up when they have no regional titles.... ;D 8) [/quote] Regardless, HF is the most improved team by far. I still remember the thread, "HF Coach DeCello out." To have not made the playoffs in a LONG time, and then to have the beginning of the season they did, well, that tells you something about this team. Good luck Horns. I hope to see you in the REGIONAL QUARTERFINALS game.
