[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1338149" timestamp="1353450326"] All eyes are on Central tonight. Can they show up tonight and redeem themselves, or fade into basketball history as a team " that could have won it all?" [/quote] The only one that will be watching this game closely is you and I (and I don't know why this game well be watched closely by you.  One would think Ozen would be the team of interest to you).

in a little less than 4 hours.

[quote name="freeze 1914" post="1337897" timestamp="1353428611"] Bosha and Johnson will lead HJ this year. Johnson is just a natural shooter. His cousin is former Central player Ed Garriet so you can see why shooting the ball comes natural. Expect big things from them 2 this year. They have a lot to prove. [/quote] Ok.  That's Dubie's little cousin.    Interesting.  I knew there was something about this kid.

I can't wait to see H-J firsthand on Friday!  8)

[/quote]No doubt. We have lots of work to do. Fortunately this game has no meaning but bragging rights. Shooting 5/22 from 3 land wont win many games for you, especially when the opposing team makes 10 in the 1sf half alone! [/quote] Bingo.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1337607" timestamp="1353379825"] Guys, it looks like once again Silsbee and HJ will be the bread & butter of SETX! Can't wait till district. Good luck Hawks! [/quote] After the 2nd or 3rd game of the season, we come to the conclusion that Silsbee and H-J are the bread and butter of southeast Texas?  Yea, whatever.  You really don't even have much respect or credibility with your fellow tiger fans, let alone anyone else.

[quote name="Silsbeealum14" post="1336257" timestamp="1353263615"] During the game, of course he's gone get up and call a timeout to stop the madness !!! There's to much potential on that Central team for him to sit and chill almost the whole game !!! Just my Opinion [/quote] He did that in the playoff loss to Kingwood Park, but got up and started couch mg once our boys clawed themselves back into the game.

Donta Wilson may be the best pg in this area. Being only bout 5"7 on a good day, the Lil man plays like he's 6"7 and can hold his on ground !!! Central can be one of the Top teams in 4A but yesterday they got out coach and out played cause not one time I seen the central coach get up and call anything... Gd luck to both teams !!! [/quote]I saw the Central coaches huddle up during a time-out and talk [/quote] yep.  I know about that.  Call a timeout just to have a meeting and  not talk to the players...

Just like I've plenty of times before, I don't know hat 'fans' you are in reference to being 'pumped up', but I can assure you that it's not me for reasons I have states previously.  If we have a 'statebound' team, then show me, because at the begin of the season, I wasn't sold and I'm definitely not sold now.  I say (and I mean speaking from THIS Central fan) get better every game and let's see where it takes us.  (I still don't see the other Central fans you guys keep referring to.)

[quote name="proudmom#32" post="1336044" timestamp="1353252330"] Yes they did Dove. I would also like to reconize #5 Donte Wilson. He is the biggest lil man around right now!!! This kid has what it takes to get the job DONE!!!! His speed,ball handeling skills and ability to penetrate is awesome!!!!Not to mention his scoring as well!!! The message I would like to send out about Donte....Don't let his size fool you!!!! TIGERNATION....LETS EAT!!!! [/quote] We have to get whatever problems we have together.  We have West Brook on Tuesday and H-J on Friday.  THOSE guys aren't JV teams.  The talent is there, but there is  some defensive issues that needs to be addressed I assume.

Sounded like a good game to me. Nonetheless, we still shouldn't allow the score to balloon out of control like that.  I know there are 2 freshman that played in this game, so you'll lean toward inexperience.  I think not.  If their not playing good, bench them.  If their calling a game one sided, make an adjustment.  But, to be down the entire game and eventually loose to a 'JV' team is a true head scratcher...
