Just giving you the facts...Why would they continue to go miles and miles away to prove anything to these people? They play locally and win, then take care of business in district, then make a playoff run...Can't win state EVERY year... : : : : : :

Quit living in the past...........that is what everyone tells the HJ faithful.............Ozen has not played in a premier tourney in 4-5 years.

Actually HJ wanted to play Ozen a few years ago in a Warm Up game and AB quickly denied them.............Oh so now that HJ does not play Ozen then they are not worthy of any of this talk. WTF is that about DV. Ozen is the one that plays in the Nederland and PNG Tournaments. They are some big time 4A school then play like the other big time 4A schools and play some competition or are you afraid that your record might have a few more losses than wins. I give tons of credit this year to Silsbee for the schedule that they played. It has prepared them for what is important.....playoffs!!!!!!!!!

Silsbee and HJ are a district match up also ??? I was referring that the only time anyone talks about Ozen/ Central matchup is because they only play in district..............they never make it far enough to play in the playoffs as HJ and Silsbee have been doing. That's only because Silsbee should STILL be in 4A, and If HJ played with just Sour Lake kids, it would be only ONE banner up there from 67! (I am so wrong for stirring this pot!) :D WOW!!!!!!!!! Making more excuses!!! If Ozen did not recruit and get the pick of the litter in BISD then they would have no Championships..................that is basically what you just said about HJ. HJISD is Sour Lake, China, Nome, etc. What is wrong with that????

How can it be a good or great rivalry if it is only a district matchup? I mean Silsbee has been to 3 out of the last 4 Reg. Finals....two of which were against HJ with the teams splitting. Both teams once again are two games away from making it 3 years in a row with a Silsbee/HJ Regional Final. I agree that PNG/ Nederland is the best in football, but as far as SE Texas goes there is no comparison to HJ/ SIlsbee on the hardwood!!!!!!!!!

DV has tunnel vision!!!!!!!!!!! If it is not Ozen, LSC-PA or some Houston school then they are not worthy of any kind of conversation on this board. Although over 95% of the conversation on this board is about something other than Ozen, LSC-PA or some Houston school. Nobody around here cares about rivalries in Dallas or Houston as far as that goes. In SE Texas there is not a bigger rivalry than HJ/ Silsbee...........period!!!!!! I have looked at big schools and small schools and there is no comparison. It is the Mid-County Madness of Hoops!!!! Maybe it can be called the Hardin County Hoopla!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

ou been smokin the good stuff????? :D :D :D :D

yeah thats true... Ive seen this kid play a handful of times...He is a beast out there, looks like a man among children..but the teams ive seen him play against, some even half a foot shorter than him shut him down n a game..im not knocking this cat..I mean hes committed to SFA...but he just doesnt know how to play that well...He posts up in the wrong spots on the court and doesnt use his heighth as an advantage as time..I believe SFA is going on potential. Im sure they'll have someone working 1on1 with him on footwork and post moves...And he may end up being someting nice to watch up n Nac. 6'8' and going to SFA? He must have just started playing basketball in high school and is slow, or the Big 12 would have gotten him. well like i was saying dove, this kid doesnt really have the post player mentality...or a guards mentality at that...he seems a lil slow but for a post man he is a pretty good speed...he just doesnt have any post moves, foot work...needs someone to just take him aside and work with him on being a post..right now the only thing going for him is size and potential...we will see i suppose... There is always hope for a big man as long as the kid is dedicated and has someone willing to work with him. I saw Hakeem in the gym before he was well known. God is truly a miracle worker. And there was another player who evetually went to Sam Houston and I think he still hold some records for shot blocking. He was sad as well in high school. Eddie Fobbs from Silsbee????

Wow where have you been???? :D :D :D

: : : : : : : : :

I have not seen Jasper this season but from what I have heard about them I fully expect them to beat La Vega. Jasper 74 La Vega 69

Well that pretty much sum's it up bballgod!!!!! :D

We shall know no within the next 14 days for sure. Some people already know and won't spill the beans!!!!! :D :D

Tiger Dad and AAW you guys need to have a circle jerk talking about past Silsbee teams on another thread!!!!!! :D :D :D

Kountze at 7:30 on Wednesday

This is the playoffs and the site while yes it is nice to play 20 minutes from Hawk gym does not mean that anything is a given. This is going to be a battle. I am hopeful that HJ will come out on top!!!!!

It is nice to see HJ and Silsbee conversing without argument.........however this is a HJ against Cleveland thread!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

PAM vs. FB Hightower (-12 1/2) Ozen (-1 1/2) vs. Huntsville Livingston (-3 1/2) vs Brenham Silsbee (-25 1/2) vs. Coldspring Silsbee wins but does not cover. Hardin-Jefferson (-7 1/2) vs. Cleveland HJ wins but does not cover. Jasper (-10 1/2) vs. La Vega Lufkin Hudson (-4 1/2) vs. Center Kountze vs. New Waverly (-4 1/2) Newton (-14 1/2) vs. Shelbyville Spurger (-4 1/2 ) vs. Bremond

Shoulda ,coulda, didnt.... you can always tlk about wut couldve been, but in the end they didnt win it and thats all that matters... Jeez great thread and fun thread going and some smarty pants has to ruin it!!!!!!! Grow up!!!!!!

AAW you need to ask former Nederland HC Lawrence Williams what he thought about "doughboy" or Spinks I mean!!!!!!! :D :D

Spinks posterized?? Nah, that couldn't have happened. ;D And it came from a t-sip too, how degrading. ;D At least Spinks could probably take him on the golf course. ;D Also take him in a spelling bee!!!!!!!! ;D ;D Ouch that hurt.....................HOWEVER........................... What TWG is not telling you is I hit 8 threes in that game and 4 in the first 5 minutes almost breaking my bros school record for threes in a game...........and I scored 33!!!!! Always trying to put the spotlight on for yourself!!!!!!!! :D How did Ivan's shorts taste??? :D

Spinks posterized?? Nah, that couldn't have happened. ;D And it came from a t-sip too, how degrading. ;D At least Spinks could probably take him on the golf course. ;D Also take him in a spelling bee!!!!!!!! ;D ;D

I think the last time Cleveland and HJ played it was at HJ and former Indian hoop star and Texas Longhorn football player Ivan Williams posterized Spinks from HJ!!!!! Had to be there as it was one of the best dunks that I have ever seen in high school!!!!!!!! :D :D

SWEET!!!!!!!! What time bbwmf?
