[quote name="east texas bb" post="937994" timestamp="1293168843"] I understand and deduct a little sarcasm which is fine.  Because you are absolutley correct.  Some do get a little "rude", though I wouldnt dare say classless at times!!!  HJ has no Gestapo like characters? I thought every town did, Huntington just had a few more than most. [/quote] More specific reference is when a uniformed officer informed a spectator(supporting the opposition, of course) in the Huntington Gym (HJ not involved) that they were yelling too loud for their team and would be removed (no profanities or language issues were involved) if they did not stop.

[quote name="east texas bb" post="935441" timestamp="1292643149"] That suprises me.  I thought it would be a 20 point or better game.  Escpecially at HJ.  Hudson is suppossed to be very down this year.  How did they look? [/quote] Werent that impressive to look at.  Had one very strong left handed player who dominated the game offensively.  Scored inside, outside, just about wherever and whenever he wanted to.  Hjs top player shot about 15% for the night including missing three consecutive put backs at point blank range.  He did have a huge dunk, though, when game was very close.

[/quote] You are sure right about that.  Getting to state is very unlikely for HJ this year.  And to hear you and several others, home cooking in HJ- Silsbee games would only enable the Hawks to lose by 30 instead of 40.  As for the history of almight HJ-  Once you make some history, I suspect you will be only too happy to discuss it as well.

Beware speechless, you will now be declared as saying stuff to make you sound like you are right.(and, of course, certainly "nobody else" is guilty of that)  Additionally, just because the last time HJ lost to Nederland early but wound up in Austin, somehow doesnt matter because "someone" really knows his basketball and can tell, by watching a team once or "judging" personnel with one or two viewings, just what success or failure that team will have come springtime.  But then, of course, I could certainly not be" right" about this.

I thought Silsbee might luck one in AFTER Galveston BALL gave them 2-3 chances to win AFTER BALL had the game wrapped up earlier. Ball would have won by 5 points if they had not made some very dumb mistakes. Unbecoming for a top ranked team. Ball underestimated Silsbee. Thats the only reason why it was so close.

[quote name="mfd814" post="933802" timestamp="1292448488"] Calls need to be consistent on both sides. You can't let one team be the more aggressive team and not call fouls, and the other team gets ticky tack calls.  I agree with not impending the dribbler, but watch for his away forearm/elbow as well on the defender.   Actually had a ref tell a player he could not play defense with his arms outstretched against a dribbler  (not touching the player) , they had to be up in the air.    SMH [/quote] Saw a ref call an offensive foul on a post man when he inbounded the ball and then slowly jogged up the court while his dribbling teammate used him as a moving screen by staying close to him.  Ref told the coach it created a disadvantage for the defender.  Coach responded by saying creating disadvantages was the definition of offense.
