[quote name="lakeside3" post="751176" timestamp="1264727173"] This shouldn't even be an issue because woodville is gonna spank whoever the winner is in the 2nd round of playoffs!!! ;D [/quote]Woodville won't spank Anahuac and they absolutely want no part of Kountze.The Eagles aren't bad but are fortunate to be playing in a pretty weak district.

[quote name="True Blue" post="750824" timestamp="1264681562"] [b]I don't see EC winning by 25 unless the Bucs dads call the game.There isn't much difference in these 2 clubs and neither has enough inside game for officials to make a difference. That was your last prediction whsalum[/b] and I dont think any DADS were the Refs.and they won by 36 So I realy like our chances now ;D [/quote]Even Babe Ruth struck out every once in awhile but you wouldn't call him a bad baseball player would you  ;D ;D One bit of advise,before you question my picks look at the overall standings.I think I'm still 6 games ahead of you  ;) ;)

Young lady was a very good player and has those girls believing in themselves.Her and her brother down the road have done an outstanding job of turning 2 programs around.

I give Spurger a huge advantage at the point,post and the shooters spot.Evadale won't get the turnovers on the press and I don't think 14 is considered close.That sounds about right though.I'll go: Spurger=68 Evadale=54

Anahuac is a tough place to play.I think Anahuac wins this one by 12. Anahuac-76 EC=64

That was brutal !!!!

If a player or coach gave an official the bird they should have been ejected immediately,no questions asked.And I agree BucFan there is a whole lot more to basketball than points and 10 pts and 8 boards is a good game as TrueBlue states.All that being said I wouldn't consider it a huge game.I have always had a ton of respect for the EC program,Coach Andrews and Hank both did a great job down there for years. EC sealed the 3rd playoff spot last night but lets not make this anymore than it is.

[quote name="ECBucFan" post="750177" timestamp="1264566818"] Huge game for Dunigan! ........Tons of fouls (and 3 techs) for Hardin.  [/quote]10 points is a huge game??The game has changed I guess.

I missed this one but it wasn't the only one I missed tonite.Not gonna enjoy looking at my picks tonite.I sure didn't think EC would cover but I thought Hardin would score more than 27,that's not good.

He would have a stroke.I think they have moved the defibilator inside just in case Cris has a stroke.I've been surprised at this group,they haven't seemed like they wanted play.As a group they are small but the could have played some pretty good defense if they would have put the work in.Hopefully the young kids will realize you have to get in the gym if you want to be competetive.

[/quote] Dont forget   Kelly, 3a OF BC and 4a Vidor ;D :D [/quote]You got me there,when you throw in those 4 power houses  you may be legit.

That was one of the things I was disappointed in when Spurger played SP.The crowd wasn't as big as some I've seen in the past for these type matchups.

Yep,You throw in wins against Deweyville,Legacy and Newton and I guess you,ve got a start.

You better pump em up.I went out on a limb on this one,things can get get a little dicey at WH sometimes.

I'd have to send Warren to the principles office with a tardy slip.They just haven't showed up this year.I knew going in they would struggle big time with Kountze and Anahuac but I thought they would play hard and play everyone else close in district.They just haven't played with much heart the games I've seen.

I think he meant AAW and he was picking the spread not the winner.There is a huge difference,it can be awful hard to beat some clubs by 25.

I was talking about pressure defense and I'll take quick guards any day of the week on the press.Big slow kids usually play back on these kinds of defenses.I've saw EC play quite a bit and they are going to be in the hunt for the 3rd playoff spot,whoever wins tomorrow night will get the last spot,but wins over Warren and Buna doesn't convince me the Bucs are a top notch club.I never saw the same kid step up 2 games in a row so I really don't know who they have that can score.I did notice in some of my game notes that Green could shoot the 3 ball and was pretty good off the drive.

Zay is a true shooting guard but if Davis is healthy he is a better PG.He handles the ball and makes better decisions with it.I hate that the kid got hurt 2 years in a row because you could tell as a sophomore he was gonna be very good.

I gotta give the kid some props.I don't think Hardin beats Anahuac or comes close to Kountze with a healthy Davis but I think he would have been the best PG in the district IF HE WAS 100%.That would be a good thread,who would have been better ????

The spread is way to generous on this one, EC by 20 is a stretch.I don't follow you TrueBlue on the sub to keep the pressure on with Carrington(injured) and Dunnigan(good rebounder, not such a good scorer or defender).If I want to keep up pressure on the ball I want guards to pressure the basketball and you're not gonna get that out of Carrington and Dunnigan.The game is dead even but I gotta go with Hardin to cover.

Had to work late but would love to get your take on a Cleveland/Kountze warm up game.I believe it would be a great ballgame and would prepare both clubs for the playoffs.I've seen some comments that the Lions couldn't hang,I believe it would be well worth the price of admission.

I'll take the 3 players from Spurger in the positions I mentioned as well just like anyone else would who knows the game.
