For those of us who can't figure out how to get their phones to pick up the broadcast, CAN SOMEONE POST THE STINKIN' SCORE!?!,

[quote name="Lt. Dangle" post="969490" timestamp="1298307181"] Fouls-- PNG     20 HJ       16 Officials:  Kelly Touchet, John Jones, Dallas Booker OUCH! calling out the officials. [/quote]I don't know.  It sounds like they were giving kudos to the referees.

Good assistants don't always make good head coaches [/quote] I hope you aren't referring to Coach Davis.... In her 2 years, she is 61-12 ans 20-0 in district.  She is one of the best head coaches in the state. [/quote]Up by 12 with 3mins to go. Wouldnt most coaches agree to stall the ball. Hj didnt and it cost them the ball game [/quote]Normally, I'd agree with this statement, especially with the guard that HJ has (Fontenot).  Very good ball handler. But what if you are shooting 30% from the free-throw line.... I think that was what we shot vs. Orangefield in a late season game (5-17 going into the last minute).  If you stall the ball, you're going to have to hit those FT's.  What was HJ looking like at the line against Navasota?

I think Evadale will go further.

They better have a short memory,and just forget this game ??? [/quote]Is that what Evadale had better do, forget their game?  ;) [/quote]No Evadale need to rememory their game. They had that game won, and just gave it away. Kountze had no business playing Silsbee. But thats what you need to do is divert the attention away form that good old fasion @$$wiping that you all took tonight. But good luck in the playoff game tuesday night. We will be injoying our bye. [/quote]Wrong team, brother.  You're talking to a Hawk fan. But I couldn't help but ponder the irony of an Evadale fan questioning the confidence of Kountze who lost to a team that they should have, whereas Evadale.........  ;)

[quote name="Scalp'em" post="968868" timestamp="1298140239"] H-J is good, I don't see them getting put out for a while. Man, they can drain some 3's and with the big guys inside, they are going to give teams fits. They dominated PNG from the start and that was with rotating thier starters. I think the score could've been worse. [/quote]Yeah, I think the 3's from the point guards are opening up a lot of opportunities for the team.  They are more dangerous now than they were earlier in the year. With that being said, I still don't think they are quite as strong as they were in the recent 4 years.  No more than a notch lower, maybe, but they are still strong enough to go deep in the playoffs with the help of a couple of breaks in their favor.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="968722" timestamp="1298096635"] [quote author=FanintheStands link=topic=80480.msg968718#msg968718 date=1298096519] Wow, the starting five almost had everyone in double figures in scoring.  I believe against HJ, they did have all five starters in double figures.  That's a good sign. Grayson and Gus hitting their 3's is also a good sign! [/quote] HJ was 9-15 from 3 in the 1st half and only took one in the 2nd half.  Shawn hit one, and Grayson and Zjori each hit 4 long balls tonight!!! [/quote]Well, of course Zjori hit 4 three's.  The roof at the Montagne is high enough not to interfere with his 3 pointers!  ;)

Wow, the starting five almost had everyone in double figures in scoring.  I believe against HF, they did have all five starters in double figures.  That's a good sign. Grayson and Gus hitting their 3's is also a good sign!

[quote name="TheRef" post="968707" timestamp="1298095252"] Turnover turnover turnover and bad decision making! [/quote]Can you elaborate?

I am stunned.  Those girls were rock-solid.  ???

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="968565" timestamp="1298084657"] Hey BIGMO, did you guy at the Preview give you a final on this one? [/quote]I think everyone must have made a run for cold, stale nachos.

Anybody have the score on this one?

Anybody got the score on this one?  Did everyone go to sleep?

[/quote]sure! What row will you and the boys be sitting? ;)

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="967153" timestamp="1297877676"] [quote author=jumpstop link=topic=80242.msg967142#msg967142 date=1297876447] Well if he controls his emotion and does not retaliate...no ejection. I know Sutherland does not approve of that type of behavior. You are winning, just smile and look at the scoreboard.  [/quote]Where do we go to see the video? I don't disagree with that, but you would have to see the video.  What was done was nothing worthy of a tech!!!!! [/quote]

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="966952" timestamp="1297837377"] An HJ player......here is how the sequence went down:  After HF scored a bucket a HF player pushed a HJ player in the back, the HJ player respond by pushing back......first tech called.  Then the two players (oe from HF and one from HJ bowed up to each other and 2nd tech called only on HJ player.  All happened within 5 seconds of each other.  It was all right in front of both benches.  Funny thing was that the HF players were laughing about it like it was planned or something.  Regardless the HJ player was removed from the game and from the gym.  He had to sit in locker room the rest of the game.  Was handled very poorly by officials IMO!!!! [/quote]How much time was left in the game when this happened? I mean, was it before the 3:38 when the coach "gave up", as others have indicated?  And if so, why did the coach give in with HJ's best player out? Or was it afterward, and this was a bench player that went out to start trouble?

[quote name="True Blue" post="965625" timestamp="1297613501"] Seeing that this is the first Vr game [b]that the fat guy[/b] has called this year I dont see the patten. But are you saying that he is calling the game on what he has heard about different players. And no its not the first Tech of the year the other one was for a foolish call also, For dunking in warmups. Again a case for the ref wonting to become part of the game. [/quote]Am I the only one bothered by the fact that you refer to someone else as "the fat guy"?!?!?  ???

[quote name="hitchpin" post="966260" timestamp="1297747443"] yeah it would i think, they didn't let garbage fouls go, they called what was obvious without getting ticky tack and kept the game under control, unlike most games this year where the refs let it get out of hand early and then start throwing techs out like candy in a parade. i didn't see any tempers flare which usually happens when they just let the kids "play". there were bonus free throws in both halves on both sides so it wasn't like they weren't calling anything. they called traveling when it was traveling, the only thing they let go was kids slapping the backboard on a shot but i'm not even sure thats a violation these days. [/quote]Wow!  Ref's that call the game as they actually see it!!! Incredible!  And not letting any biases creep into their calls. Maybe that can become the norm rather than the exception.... I don't know.... come to think of it, it will never work.  ;)

I know these kids well, and I've seen them play lots of 'big' games since they were in 7th grade. I KNOW they r going to be special. However, Nederland WILL be rebuilding next year. There is NO way around it. When U lose your starting five, U have to replace them w/a new starting 5. [u][b]That is called rebuilding.[/b][/u] [/quote]At HJ, we prefer to call it "[u][b]Reloading[/b][/u]"!!!!  ;) [/quote] We've never had that luxury at Nederland (until now). We will be 'reloading' for years to come thanks to a lot of dedication from parents and coaches. [/quote]That's the SPIRIT!!!!!  8)

[b]BEST CALLED GAME I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR[/b], sure they missed a few but no big deal, NO BIAS, and we rarely get that in a game with refs that shouldn't have any interest.  :D. good job guys. [/quote]Would it presumptuous to summarize your post with "the refs let the kids play"?

Cleveland beat Tarkington. And in other news, the sun will rise in the east tomorrow.

I still think to this day if they woudl have made atleast 5 more free throws they would have been playing for a state championship that year. IMO free throws are as easy as you want them to be, I've seen players just staright up panic when they get the free throw line. Then I've seen other players get up there like its nothing and sink the biggest two shots of the season....its all about muscle memory [/quote] I agree with everything you say.  However, sometimes, a fluke comes along.  Ask LeBron how he felt yesterday when he had two shots to tie the game with the Celtics in the last 10 seconds.  Sometimes the mental aspect influences the muscle memory. [/quote]True, but I also heard the ESPN announcer quote some sick percentages from Lebron when the game is near the end and the score is close..... something like 90-95% during that time. The only problem with the percentages is sometimes those "5-10%" chances actually happen. [/quote] This wasnt ANY game- it was the Celtics [/quote]Ok.............. Are you allowed to miss a shot against the 76'ers and not the Celtics? [/quote] The suggestion is the pressure is greater against the celts than the sixers.  YOu may make a 6 foot putt with me and miss it with Tiger in the foursome [/quote]The response is that the 76'ers would not be in a close situation in the final seconds with the Heat.  I think the numbers the announcer gave was "[i]a 5 point or less game with less than a minute left[/i]".  BTW, who keeps those stats?!?!?

Wow, great updates!!! It was almost like I was there!  ;)
