A lot of these scores just highlight the watered down impact of two divisions. Liberty Hill getting smoked by 30 in the state finals and Kountze winning by almost 40 is insane. Hey but more people got a trophy and get to claim they went to "state"

BH scored 3 points in the 3rd qtr on 3 free throws and in the 4th didnt score their first fg until 2 min left in the game. Hit two 3s in a row within 6 seconds in the last 20 seconds for a total of 11 points in the second half. Liberty Hill didnt look great themselves. Hard to believe this was a state semifinal matchup.

My point was he was quick to pat himself on the back leaving out the fact he skipped a round and faced less than stellar competition. I get you can only play who is on the schedule, my beef is with UIL. You moved up some of the best 5A teams and then then you split the leftovers into two. But even last year was weak too, hasn't been a really good region 3 5A team in a few years. The days of the really good Hardin Jefferson and Beaumont United's state team are long gone.

So the 4th place team out of their district with 15-11 and 7-5 district record in Rudder is who BH has to play to win regionals? Unreal how thin the split divisions have made 5A. SMH

That place is first class, not sure how they pulled the funds to build it but its a better arena than Lee College. I am shocked you have not been there. LaPorte also fully funds and staffs LPsportsnet which streams all home games to YouTube and logs them. It looks like a Espn broadcast, it is very well done. Nobody can match the facilities and the streaming capability that LaPorte has, it is very well done.

Of course they do, it makes it a whole lot easier. BH coach already crowing about going to regional semifinals 3 years in a row but left out the fact he got to skip an entire round this year and faced much weaker competition.

I think it was just a few years ago BH vs LP was a first round playoff matchup now both in regional finals because they are two of the only decent programs in 5A region 3 that got split by D1 and D2. The Beaumont United team from that same year would run every team in this years region out of the gym by 30 plus.

Keep forgetting about D1 vs D2. What a joke, totally waters down the playoffs...in 5A especially where there is only a few decent teams in the entire region combined. Skipping a round to boot to get to semifinals. Sad

How did they settle 1st and 2nd in district? Was it a coin flip?

PNG 0-11 in district?

Closer and a weaker district it looks like. Pasadena might have actually has the best record out of anyone last year in this new district?

Shoot I remember back in the mid 90s kids that couldn't make it at 5A Baytown Sterling would transfer to BH to be able to play. One ended up being all-state in 3A I think in football and baseball but couldnt crack the lineup at Sterling. My have things changed. This was during the 5A district that had Lee, North Shore, Sterling, Central, West Brook, PAJ, PNG.

[Hidden Content] Had not seen the updated numbers. Co-MVP was 9 which is interesting.

I thought she should have gotten offensive POY and newcomer as a floor.

Ok so it was done your way, what does your team look like? Do you not think the RS for BH deserved to get a superlative whether it be newcomer or offensive? If it was based on team records I don't think that would be the case.

Elite 8 out of 128 that started in the playoffs is really good and BH had the toughest road to get there as well. Yesterday BH had its chances, had leads of 24-22 in set 2 and 19-14 in set 3. Every point matters. Have to wonder how much the quick turnaround from Friday to Sat game impacted the game.

That they did, that was a great environment. Packed house, football boys and student section showed up, a lot of the community outside of the normal VB group which was awesome. Couldnt ask for a better environment or host. The turning point in that game was BH holding on to set 2, lost that and its a different ballgame. That was huge to go from up 24-22 to down 24-25 to winning 27-25.

BH QB needs to run more. 3rd and 2 late in the game and he could have easily scrambled for 2 instead of throwing two incomplete passes. I don't know if he has been told not to run but he needs to show it to either get those easy yards or to open up throwing lanes. I did not see the RB come back in after the fumble either, was he hurt on that play? I mean up 21 against a slow time consuming offense the absolute worst thing you can do is give up big play quick scores. The two long runs on btb plays was mind blowing. With that said, if offense punches it in from inside the 5 the game is over at 28-14. A fail on both sides of the ball. And I thought our kicker was decent, not even a thought of taking the points?

BH needs to fill the stands, community needs to get out and support this team.

Foster is a really good team, that should not have been a 2nd round matchup while FW and Manvel had cakewalks the the first two rounds. The regions really need to seed the tournament vs this predetermined district matchup crap they do now which is just easy on UIL. The good news is the Eagles played well and put it way in 4 after being up 2-0. As others have said, that experience should bode well in tight situations. BH has beaten Friendswood back in August so they know they can do it again. It is time to break through the 3rd round barrier for this group. In the last two weeks, wins over Clear Springs who is also in the regional 6A qtrs and that Foster team were great tests.
