if that is the case, to bad HJ will not be playing Yates in that gym.

any word on game time and location?

If HJ can handle the full court press, the game will be closer than a lot of people think.  If HJ can not handle the press, it will be a long night for the Hawks.

Back east, Connecticut, the local high schools play games on Thanksgiving day.  I did not grow up there, but spent numerous Thanksgivings in Conn and it was a staple on Thanksgiving day.  I'm not sure if it was playoffs or traditional T Day match ups.  I enjoyed going out, watching HS football and going home for dinner.

from what i understand, Nederland has some reserves on the football team, but not any basketball starters.

Don't like it.  It is already watered down. Why not keep it simple.  1st and 2nd in each district and the current classifications.  I don't like the whole Div 1 and Div 2 for the small school/big school.  If you are 3A, you are 3A.  You end up with 10 (i know the number is not accurate) different state champs in football???  Keep it simple UIL.

i will assume that nine "key" players mean nine starters.  if any high school was to lose nine starters, it would be make a difference.  i have not seen Liberty play this year, so i will no comment on team, coaches, individuals or whatever.  But Dayton, WO-S, or any other program would have some struggles replacing nine starters.  But just because they start in Liberty, doesn't mean they would start anywhere else.  But if those players filled starting roles, they must have been the best at that position the coaches had to pick from. Hopefully they can turn it around.

[quote name="mfd814" post="1295120" timestamp="1349744339"] I had the pleasure of spending most of the summer with Sadiq,he looks older, but if you knew him, he is just like any other high school student. [/quote] Not trying to bash the player or his character.  Just looks a lot older than the other kids on the court.  What i saw, he handled himself well and appeared to be the leader on the court.  He was fouled hard a couple of times, but didn't think a thing of it and shot his free throws.  Is he the top player on the team?
