Thinking the 4 sisters who transferred from Southlake Carroll are probably regretting that decision now.

Bristow transferred in from WF Rider last year. As did his sister, who led Holliday to the state title last year. She’s playing at Iowa State now.

“He could take his’n and beat your’n, then take your’n and beat his’n.” Congrats Coach!

10-4. Seemed unlikely, but the Dallas paper even posted it.

#1 Dallas Madison lost to Pilot Point, according to Maxpreps.

2001-2002 Regional Tourney in then Class 2A 2002-2003 Moved up to then Class 3A and finished 3rd in district behind Kountze, HJ 2003-2004 Finished 3rd in District behind Kountze, HJ cant speak on the state of the program before he got there.

The Great James Madison. Seriously.

Score so far is kind of surprising. Thought Graford would beat them fairly comfortably.

There seems to be a lot of excuses being made. I’m sorry, but when you have the #1 recruit in Texas (McDonald’s All American) on a 4A team who is not devoid of talent besides her and you don’t win State at least once in 4 years, there is blame to go around. HJ was easily the most talented 4A team in State the last two years. Should have won last year, and most definitely should have won this year especially after slaying Argyle. Not implying it’s all on the coaches because kids have to perform in crunch time. But that staff will be wondering how they let it slip away for years to come.

Pretty much agree with everything you said. I’m not saying B’boro can’t make a game of it, but it’s unlikely. The state championship was decided today.

Nah, I’m pretty comfortable with my assessment. Doesn’t matter. Congrats to the HJ

It paid some dividends in the 4th for sure. But the press also put them at an 8 point deficit at the half.

Yep. You don’t beat Argyle by pressing. You’re not going to create a lot of turnovers, nor are you going to force them into bad shots. You try and beat them by playing fundamental half court defense and contesting every shot.

They have a D1 player this year who is a senior. They are young this year and their best talent is underclassmen. They are going to be loaded as usual for the foreseeable future, even with the move up to 5A. How do they maintain it? Lots of factors….tradition, parental involvement, coaching, and they have an excellent youth program. I also believe they have an actual athletic period in 6th grade unlike most schools. So when those girls get to junior high basketball they are ready to roll.

I think they were the best team in the state last year, but some unfortunate decisions in the title game cost them the championship. Looking forward to an HJ-Argyle matchup.
