The key to this post.

No double digit win for the Hawks like many predicted. They missed Trey tonight but the Tigers also missed their two that were suspended, particularly their '6"8 post. If there is a rematch, look for the same type game, no blowout.

Final HJ 69 Silsbee 71 HJ misses three pointer at the buzzer

1:45 left HJ 66 Silsbee 69

3:30 left HJ 66 Silsbee 65

HJ takes first lead 59-58 6 minutes left

end of 3rd HJ 54 Silsbee 57 Silsbee in foul trouble. Not good with two players that get significant pt not playing tonight. HJ made a good run to end the 3rd

Halftime HJ 33 Silsbee 45

a technical that carried over from the JV game? I've never heard of that before... I have never heard of that before either. Only thing I can think of is that the refs called it on a fan and not a player after the game had concluded. Silsbee leads after 1st 23-18

I didn't realize that folks were becoming fans of Yates just by stating that they are a very good team and predicting them to win state. I am not a fan of the New England Patriots but I will state they are the best in the NFL and will win the Super Bowl. BTW, I've never been to Boston. You can do better than that Dick. ;D

No need to post names. One had been a starter but not of late, the other is the 7th to 8th man in rotation.

Hey, what about favorite Setxsports basketball broadcaster? Hint Hint

Yes I do agree with you for the most part. It seems that when a HISD team does win a state championship it's mostly from the fact that they had a overwhelming abundance of talent over their opponents. There have been a few exceptions. One that comes to mind was the '78 Wheatley team. The two teams they faced in the semis and finals were more talented, but Jackie Carr got the most out of that team and won. I do admit he was very lucky in the finals, but that game showed what poor coaching San Antonio Fox Tech had. I mean, you are up by 1 with 1 second on the clock. Your team is shooting 2 freethrows and Wheatley has no timeouts left. Why on earth do you put 2 of your players on the lane to rebound the miss if it happens? The Fox Tech player missed both freethrows and on the rebound of the second miss a Fox Tech player fouled a Wheatley player as the buzzer sounded. The Wheatley player went down to the other end and made both freethrows with no time on the clock to win 84-83. How stupid a coaching job is that?

Again, I just don't understand why Silsbee is not in the top 20. They would beat alot of those teams that are in. A 19-5 record with all 5 of those losses coming from state ranked teams should get you some consideration. Look at Gonzales, they are 11-13 for crying out loud.

That '83 Yates team is the team I use as an example when there I am in a debate between talent and coaching. That team had arguably the most talent of any team in the state that year. Five D-1 players with two of them being pretty special, Ricky and Carl. They were beaten in the semis by a Ft. Worth Paschal team that was good, but couldn't come close to the talent Yates had. What Paschal had was great coaching. Paschal's tallest player was '6"3 and the rest were '6"0 or smaller. Yates started '6"2, '6"2, '6"5, '6"8,and '6"9 with Ricky being the '6"8 and playing alot at point. They should have killed that team. Paschal packed it in a zone, forced Yates to shoot from outside therefore exposing their weakness, they couldn't shoot. Also, Paschal pressed heavily showing that Yates really didn't have a true point guard on the team, creating many turnovers. It looked like the Yates coach just sat back and said " You guys are the talent, go win it". It was embarassing.

That was a girls game, right? I agree, that really doesn't take precedent but I think schools already have a policy in hand.

No way of getting around it, it's still Cougar High. ;D
