[quote name="swagg" post="730842" timestamp="1260902393"] Okay Hj loss Benard and replaced him with shooter. You right that makes Hj better by losing their all time Leading scorer and back to back district Mvp's. Carrington is no 3a player of the year. [/quote] Bernard was not back to back district MVP.  Wake up!

[quote name="swagg" post="730699" timestamp="1260889009"] You know I gotcha "karma", An ounce of encouragement when someone's down is worth more than a ton of praise when they're up! (C'mon) [/quote] Sorry.  You have totally lost me!

[quote name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="730408" timestamp="1260828199"] [font=Courier]Ok...that's enough....we wont be crossing any lines.[/font] [/quote] What if............well nevermind............I might "cross the line."  Because he never does!!!  What a joke this is!

Anyone know which of the players Cleveland lost to transfer last year?  They were my pick to make a run at state this year.

Doesn't matter.  It is clear if hoopinsider cooper has a chance to rank someone ahead of HJ he is going to do it.  I mean HJ beats Kountze at Kountze and they are ahead of HJ at one point.  These polls make no difference anyway so don't get bent out of shape over it.

[quote name="bc55fan" post="730323" timestamp="1260823795"] I agree aggies....100% Think HJ/Kountze/BH/EC/Beaumont Central/etc  could have a "Best in the East" Tourney?  That would be outstanding... [/quote] When its pool play you nearly have to play everyone to win the tournament.  Kountze played alot of the same teams HJ did to get to the finals so having the pools stacked has no advantages.

[/quote] Implying that a team won't come back the way you have implied is calling a team out.  Sorry buddy.  Think what you want. [/quote] Maybe he has some knowledge of what HJ's answer would be.    That BUDDY....isn't calling a team out.....read my above post on  my view of opinions. [/quote] Exactly.  When your a coach you probably shouldn't come on a message board and air out that you "know" why HJ won't come back.  Just a WILD guess!!!!  Of course then there is the thought that he may not "know" what he is talking about either.

[quote name="bc55fan" post="730230" timestamp="1260816249"] It is good for me.  I couldnt live with myself, If I blamed my entire happiness or sadness .....on the decisions of someone else. Why dont you encourage HJ to come back to the Tourney.  Matter of fact....I will talk to the coach and let THEM pick who they want to be on their side of the bracket.  Guarantee they wont come......guarantee it!!! [/quote] Sounds like your are pretty perfect.  One coach calling out another.  Class!!!!

[quote name="whsalum" post="729532" timestamp="1260723807"] I'll have to agree with HJHawks about the officiating.The girls and JV clubs are getting the short end here.There wasn't an official on the floor in the 2 days I was there that hasn't been working varsity games for awhile.The type game Kountze plays dictates why they get in foul trouble not the officials.The only problem I saw with any of the officials all weekend was the need to explain calls and smooth things over with the players.I know I'm old school but when you blow the whistle,line up, shoot the free throws and go to the other end.Good coaches here on both benches.Heres a news flash-this was a game between 2 very good teams,played hard and won by the home club.Happens everyday in the game of basketball and it's not all that unusual. [/quote] Very well said.  Still wondering if this will end hoopinsider coopers love affair with Kountze!!! 

[quote name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="729415" timestamp="1260686211"] [font=Courier]I'll bite....took me forever to get home in fog. Here is my objective criticism (for you steve nash).... Instead of making excuses and blaming refs, I spoke with Devin after the game and he didn't mention the refs. Calls were awful on both ends. Touch fouls then kids getting hammered down low. One of 3 officials tonite was poor poor poor. I don't know what major adjustments were made but it was clear devin or roman could play defense in the 3 and 4 quarters in the paint due to foul trouble. Turner took it to the hole several times without hesitation from them to guard him. Sutherland hit big threes tonight, something he did not do in the first game. Jacoby was again the difference for H-J. He hustled for loose balls and never gave up on any play. Kid is a player and deserves the ranking he will get when the player rankings come out soon. BTW.....so glad McCoy didn't win the Heisman! [/font] [/quote] Excuses for Kountze.  Shocker!

first big game in the new hawk gym.  Kountze thinks too much of themselves.  HJ by 12

[quote name="ST4life" post="726800" timestamp="1260333862"] By the end  of the season we will all know who is the best in Hardin County I will give you a hint...... [move][/move][size=10pt][b]It will not be HJ or Kountze  ;D[/b][/size] But for what its worth I will take HJ over Kountze [/quote] I had the same sentiments last year.  Boy was I wrong!!!!

[quote name="no-look" post="726555" timestamp="1260310988"] Have these two teams played this year? [/quote] technology would suggest they have!!!!!!!  That was great no look!!!

[quote name="True Blue" post="726534" timestamp="1260307895"] [quote author=swagg link=topic=63519.msg726506#msg726506 date=1260305299] "Correction Haters" The game was decided when we put Jasper on the schedule. We throw alleys because we can. Don't start hating because hj shooter can't shoot and wasn't blessed with hops. We give out fans their money worth. Kinda like Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. We play to win the game. And that's exactly what we did. Easily. Roar, Roar! [/quote] You can bet that someone is watching that showboating and when they run the play were they come up the rightside and throw it off the board for the dunk on the leftside. If I am coaching I will have a player watch for this one play and when you run it I am getting set to block out on the leftside when he jumps to dumk am am taking his legs out with a good box out. once he eats the floor a few times that play will stop. Play good basketball and leave the showboating to the Pro. [/quote] That was good stuff True Blue!

Silsbee had their football players away from them longer than anyone. They will get so much better as the season goes on.  I am saying that by years end the best team will be silsbee.  Period.  The only reason Kountze is #1 in the local rankings is because Cooper is in love with Kountze!

Silsbee is the best team in this area bar none.  You will see them improve over they year.  This is their year.  Watch.

[quote name="Kelly Basketball" post="722812" timestamp="1259851967"] Before people start going crazy...this is my opinion on the kid from watching him play in the summer. He could be a great low post player. With his size strength and athleticism he could be a dominant four man. That said he strays to far away from the basket and is not nearly as effective on the perimeter. Coach English knows what he is doing I don't understand why you would come on here and complain about him? [/quote] I could not agree more with what you said.  Have seen him play a few times this year and I think you are DEAD on!

I say, Find out da reason & dont let it happen! Stop Turner!! And u stop the Hawks The blueprint is out. Play zone, let them shoot all they want. Keep Turner from penetrating, and pass the ball before he gets on ya. If you wait he will take it from you. That's the Blueprint on how to beat H-J. if you don't believe me. Check out T.Williams scouting report. [/quote] If it is so easy why haven't the first two teams they have played done it?
