C-130 Gunship

What were the complete stats for each player for the Hawks? Include rebounds, blocked shots, and assists as well as scoring.  Thanks for the help.

I've only seen HJ basketball since the 2004 season, and Donahoe and Bernard were better players, but the player I have had the most fun watching was Jacob Ricossa.  He didn't do much offensively, but just watching him fly around the court causing things to happen was just fun to watch.  Fans were always talking about how fun Jacob was to watch.

Great Win HAWKS...glad it didnt get too out of hand at the end

Great Win HAWKS!!!! Navasota has always been a tough team to beat

I think Gustafson and Ricossa were also men among boys as well as Jacoby.  Maybe Ricossa was a tree among men, even weakened from fever and bronchitus.  Gus drove at will.  Jacoby looked good on the fast break with Ricossa throwing bb's to him from the base line.  Sutherland had some nice moves on drives to the basket too.

Hawks win 77 58

[quote name="Sloe" post="744592" timestamp="1263610731"] dose HJ have Ricco back yet ? [/quote] Yes Ricossa is back

Lufkin Hudson not near the team they were last year.  Hawks did not play well. Need Ricossa.  Nice to see the refs called a decent game as compared in the past at Hudson.

Ricossa MRI results:  No tears, no chipped cartilage, no loose bodies.  Range of motion and strength rehab for 1 1/2 to 2 weeks then back on court.

[quote name="FanintheStands" post="731844" timestamp="1261014582"] You follow your shot if you think you missed.  They are falling back getting ready for the press. Sean P is a sophomore.  He makes sophomore mistakes but he is going to be really really good.  Right now he's a double-edged sword; following up a great shot with a stupid turnover.  He was the tall lanky guy, number 10. Will Anderson, number 20, is a junior.  He played some quality minutes in the Hawks playoffs last year, having played JV during the season.  He had a great defensive effort against the big guy from Cleveland.  Will has a sweet 10-15 foot shot, as long as he's not shooting from the baseline.l  He missed a couple of easy layups late in the game against Kountze.  And although he's not quick, he's not clumsy and should be a pretty good player. Sean and Will are going to team up with Gus and Grayson to have another great HJ team next year, in my opinion. [/quote] You  always  follow your shot.  And BTW, they are not falling away to cover the press, they are just standing there watching the shot.

The big problem still with HJ, as I stated in a previous post, is their failure to consistently cover the back side.  Too many easy points given up.  Somebody has to be there to intercept the dish when Ricossa steps up to defend the driving player.  The Hawks don't do that very well.  One other thing I have noticed is that no one is following the three point shot.  Several times last night, the rebound went toward the shooter and could have easily been offensively rebounded but no one was there.

[quote author=whsalum link=topic=63792.msg731202#msg731202 date=1260939733] Got them from Mikes post game wrap up.The young man had a double/double.The reason I said it was emotion was Turner had 6, Sutherland-6 and Gus-9.That's not a typical night for those 3. quote] The big reason that Jacoby, Garrett, and Greyson point totals were low was the fact that Ricossa was not in there.  Besides the obvious things like points and rebounds, he does so much more down low under the radar such as picks, block outs, assists to the other three.  His ability to feed the ball out to an open 3 without looking is amazing as well as his 3/4 court passes to Jacoby for an easy lay up.  Will played a great game but he doesn't get the time with the starters in practice like Philip has to develop the feel for each other.

Great Job Hawks, wish I could of been there. I just hope Im back from college soon enough that I dont miss the HJ tournament.

HJ is not at full strength yet, this game was a good game to put different players out there against a good team to see how they preform so the coaches can get a good idea of who they can put out there in certain situations when the game really counts. [/quote] Hope your right Gunship...... ;) ;) ;) [/quote] It will all come together, by district for sure. The only thing I was worried about was rebounding, it seemed like some of the guards didnt really block out or crash the boards after a shot went up. I could tell Philip was getting pretty frustrated with no one blocking out against Central. That will hurt HJ if they do not improve on rebounding, especially against Silsbee with all their athletes.
