No problem, I'm sorry, I forgot my watch is set ten minutes fast. Please forgive me...

You could also say that almost every school district around here provides a quality education for about $7.50 an hour per student per year....that is what a lot of people do not understand. Top heavy, maybe. There are not many situations where you have someone sitting at a desk with nothing to do. They split up duties so each can focus more on the task at hand. I promise you it is not what you think. I do not work for ANY of the schools either, I have researched this for a while though.

[quote name="FanintheStands" post="980133" timestamp="1299697406"] Isn't Dunigan the kid that played for East Chambers last year (2009-2010)?  If so, I seem to recall him playing in the HJ Last Man Standing Tournament and he suffered something like a broken nose.  The guy played through the pain, however, and almost helped the Bucs win the Consolation Trophy.  They would have won if they had completed the most incredible play I have ever seen.  From behind the other team's goal, the player through the ball inbounds from all the way across the court... Dunigan went through a screen and tried to tap the ball in.  Why tip it in?  Because there was like .4 seconds on the clock and that's all you were allowed to do.  He came within a hairsbreadth of making the tip in!!!!!  That would have been one for the ages. If I remember correctly, Dunigan really played a good game that day, even though he was suffering through whatever injury he suffered. [/quote] That was prolly the very best out of bounds play I had ever seen, and yes he came so close to making it.

I cant either

that is correct, Steven Ash...but from what I'm hearing that will not even be enough. I hate to see a lot of sports get cut down to nothing and the kids suffer because lets face it a lot of kids stay in school and keep their grades up just because of sports.

Lets hear it....How do you feel about it, are you ready for teachers and extracurricular activities cut down to almost nothing.

Now 13.... :D ;)

Now it's only 14  ;)

YOUR RIGHT PIRATES, It is a bad situation for many, not just parents, but athletics, teachers, kids, and the futures of  a lot kids (not just athletics). I would very much support more taxes at the local level like to our school district but not to the state or the government. Everyone is fed up with money going to Washington and it is thrown around like there is no tomorrow....see clip. I'm really glad this guy represents us... [Hidden Content]

wow I didn't see that coming....I thought for sure that Athens would win....

[quote name="setxslam" post="978074" timestamp="1299300573"] Lazeek and Pappabear: thanks for the broadcasts this year.  Keep 'em going forever, please.  I'm already looking forward to next year. We just got home from Huntsville feeling sad, yes, but gratified for another great season of HJ hoops. Congrats and best of luck to Mexia.  Not many teams withstand our comeback surges in the playoffs.  Great job.  Seemed like a bunch of really good kids, too. HJ Seniors: thanks for the memories, and so many nights of driving home happy.  Work as hard in your future endeavors as you worked for your coaches.  The sky's the limit for you guys. Coaches: you guys know how I feel about y'all.  Many, many thanks.  Best of luck next year.  We'll see y'all at the games. [/quote] Me too Dr. slam I feel the same way, and I really have enjoyed watching your kids play you should be very proud of them they are wonderful young men and are a reflection of their dad, who is a pretty good guy. I love the fact that even though your kids are gone from the program that you still follow it just as passionately as they were still in it...as far as the broadcast I hope we can keep doing it, I love the fact that Hawk nation can listen even if they cant make it to the gym...

Congrats to the Nederland Bulldogs on a great season...

After watching both teams play...Athens will win this game.....they are the best team at the regional tournament I believe.  sealy's #4 is a stud, but athens has a couple of those as well.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="978050" timestamp="1299297881"] Don't sleep on Mexia!! ;D [/quote] Ha Ha (in the most sarcastic voice you could ever imagine) ....You know I think we all remember you saying that 14 times already...say what you want HJ didn't take jabs at the almighty Silsbee Tigers after they lost...remember they were supposed to win it all this year.....and lost in what their first playoff game....anyway mexia will have a hard time today against Athens, they will be tough to beat from here out, they are very good..I'm so very proud of the Hawks, another over achieving year...a year where we were supposed to be beat like like a drum by Cleveland and you proved them wrong...I will miss all of the seniors we will all miss you it has been an absolute pleasure to watch all of you compete at such a high level.

First of all notice I highlighted "after"....second yes you beat us twice but as I said earlier in the year, you can have both district games I wanted the next one at regionals......

[/quote] Man that sounds like you are ready for this year to end.  But seriously, next year the favorites tag is squarely on the Hawks.  Only question as far as our rivalry will be how well your new pt guard will handle the pressure the Tigers will apply.  But HJ will have a huge weapon in Prudhomme and two other big ones in Persohn and Bosha.  A big height advantage over us unless our two 6'10 transfers are eligible by the time we play.  The Tigers will probably just elect to not show up on nights we play HJ just to save our energy for the other games. :) [/quote] Now I know your joking Silsbee has never had any problem getting transfers and making them eligible, and no way am I ready for this season to end... I'm positive that Silsbee will be very good next year, they always are, for the last four years we have been taking turns going to austin....I hope that we do not disappoint this year...

this year for HJ is pretty special, cant wait for the next few.....

if the Hawks come out and play like they have been doing, this should be another classic game...
