I agree again, The  show [u][b]MUST[/b][/u] be on the court not in the stands. The Hecklers sit behind the home bench becuase anywhere else it would be offensive to someone. They have never tried to move. Just a few adults and there really hasn't been many problems. I started this thread becuase it seemed there was more people that had a problem with it. Sounds to me like there's some difference of opinion but to me overwhelmingly not a big deal.  Thanks everyone for giving me your opinion.

Good luck the rest of the year from the HJ nation,

OF in a close one...

[quote name="bballfan07" post="316187" timestamp="1200431348"] Last year, while in Orangefield actually, the Hawk hecklers were on the visitor side of the gym and the Orangefield student section was on the home side. One kid from Orangefield decided that he would be funny and go stand amongst the Hecklers. The Hecklers basically just ignored him and administration from Orangefield made him move back to his seat. There was no big fuss, there was no fight, there was no foul language.. just a simple "move back to your seat" and it was all over. Maybe HJ administration should have made that old guy from Orangefield move out from infront of the videographer from HJ...even though you wouldn't think that administration would have to get onto an adult for "getting out of his/her seat."  ::) [/quote] the AD made him move twice.

I respectfully disagree. when you have enough fans coming to each game to fill up 75% of the gym capacity with just the home side I would hope that the ticket person didn't turn fans away and say nope there are too many home fans already, that wouldn't be smart. because then there would still be a lot of empty seats in the gym. We could always rope off a small section for the visiting side and use your theory and say no more entry to the visiting crowd because you have seat allotment full , but that wouldn't be popular either. I was being Facetious  I know you said each to his own side but what do you do when one side fills up you cant just stop.

And by the way the administrators were there and watching very close they walked by several times to check the "temperature" on that side....all is good and yes several orangefeild did come appologize for some of the comments and it was appreciated. It just actually felt like we were just giving it back one fifth of the way we were getting it then that is when it got a little heated. Like I said earlier I appreciate passionate fans....we just don't need to set a bad example in front of all of the kids there. somehow another if the kids see mom or dad doing it then they think it's ok to do it as well and thats not what we want the show should be on the court not the stands. I really did like to see all of the little Hawk Hecklers in training sitting directly across from the true Hecklers.

For the most part it hasn't been a problem, the HJ gym is marked on one side the visitor side, not the home side, now I do like what Aggiesarewe said; home, gym home rules, and I do agree it doesn't give you the right to act like a buffoon. I am one of the men that sit in the same place every game on the visitor side. If anyone would have been watching the group that sits on the visitor side even claps when the opposing team makes a good play. The only problem is when there has been a abundance of profound language being used, I keep hearing take it to your own side, but why cant you leave some of the inappropriate language at home that’s the real problem maybe that’s why some gyms don't let anyone co-mingle with opposing fans, maybe they know their fans better than us. By saying, if you weren't on this side then you wouldn't have heard it, is Kind of like shutting the gate after the mule is already out. We all need to remember that….It requires less character to discover the faults of others than is does to tolerate them. ;D

I agree! I don't have a problem unless there is vulgar language used while Women and children are present or making inapropriate comments to the players on the court. To me that is taking it too far. I do agree there will alway's be your occasional idiot that you will have to deal with. For the most part I appreciate passionate fans, I am one, but just don't let it roll into poor sportsmanship.

You must have been reffering to the adult that kept standing in front of the student trying to film the game for the coach....that was pretty bad the kid moved over and so did the adult, he was making sure that the school didn't get film on them. yeah that was pretty childish.

all home teams will win in 21 -3 A

Should be a good game orangefield has improved quite a bit from last year. They really impressed me at the HJ game the other night, good ball movement and they shot the ball well. Still say Silsbee comes away with the win.

I don't have a problem with listening in on the heckling of my team, Heck I'll give it back just like I'm getting it. usually if it gets to bad i just point them to the scoreboard.

HJ by a whole bunch like 56 or more.

Thats kinda what I thought. Appearently there was a lot of discussion about how the administrators at the school had done a horrible job letting it happen.

I do it all of the time too. I have never had a problem with it until lately.

Isn't there always a small contengent of fans from the opposing team sitting right behind thier bench, They sit on the home side but yet they are not home fans. I mean surely when the gym fills up on the home side they wouldn't turn people away with empty seats still available.

I haven't seen it,  but I heard there was much discussion regarding this issue and I would really like to know what everyone thinks if we can do it in a mature manner.  ::)

If you throw in the girls side as well I truly beleive we will have around 4 teams in Austin. Hopefully we can have another great showing from our area again.

Hopefully we can sweep tonight, Hawks and Lady Hawks.

Silsbee should win this game with no problem, they really impressed me when they played HJ, good luck to both squads, just a little more to our Hardin county counterparts.

Hawks will be ready to play tonight....and I still haven't made up my mind Lazeek witch game I'm going to. So you might be the bigger one tonight....we will see it depends how soon I get off from work. Maybe.

To me, this will be the most entertaining game of the whole season not to take away anything from any other team but with both teams pressing the whole game....whew! it should be a barn burner. good luck to both squads........

It's going to come down to mistakes on offense who is going to shoot the ball better. it will be very difficult to go into OF's gym and beat them, I know the Hawks are capable, it's just are they going to show up and play sharp. I'll give the Hawks the nod I believe Jdad I think they have been waiting for this game all year. [move]GO LADY HAWKS!!!![/move]

That girl is awsome she is the best basketball player I have seen in a while You can always count on her to give 110% everynight.
