One of these days we’ll figure it out 😂 or maybe we won’t

Ouch

Someone needs a spotter. I think the bar clipped him 😂

They have some young talent coming and one of the best coaches in the area. I hope they are smart enough to realize it.

High expectations on the young Tigers .

I can agree wholeheartedly with this statement. I think the district championship in HH/HF/HJ district will come down to whichever team can steal a win on the road. We probably will be looking at another seeding game which will be important to push a match up with Silsbee down the line.

The Tigers will be very good over the next 3 seasons but I don’t see them being compared to the teams that won back to back titles. Bush just put those teams on a different level.

HJ finished as co-champions last year and lost a seeding game by one point to the eventual state runner up. The loss to BC should not have happened even with their best player suspended. They got caught looking past the Cardinals. Just for grins tell me who finished 3rd in that district race last year going 0-4 against the top two teams and then got beat like a rented mule by a young Silsbee Tiger team ?

In those 3 years how many district championships has HF won ? I think Huffman graduated one player albeit a good one. HJ has a ton of returning talent and will be the deepest team in the district. Huffman and HJ have had a bonafide basketball coach for years. We probably just need to agree to disagree.

You put way to much value on summer league games. I’ll take a team full of role players any day of the week. Teams that are used to winning get that mentality. HJ and Huffman have been the cream of the crop in this district for years and they won’t relinquish that title easily. I’m ready to see them tip it off.

We don’t have long to wait and find out. I keep hearing every year HF will win district and their best player was on the JV and they consistently finish 3rd. I watched the Longhorns on quite a few occasions last year both the varsity and JV and they aren’t going to be bad. I don’t see them winning the district. Huffman will miss Harvey’s unselfish play but they have lots of pieces returning. HJ returns Sears, White, Brown , Davis and a couple of kids who are pretty solid on the block. Throw in a few kids who went 22-1 on a JV club and you get a solid club. I can’t wait for the season to start.

Those kids have bought in to the program and won’t beat themselves. They’ll be more than respectable.

If you drop HJ or Huffman in the district with Silsbee, Lumberton, WOS, LCM and BC they would be in a dogfight with the Tigers for the top spot. I’ll definitely be checking out the HJ vs Silsbee game this year in Silsbee. Depending on the playoff brackets both of these clubs could easily be in the regional tournament. I still have HJ as the favorite in that district. They’ll have to win an important game on the road to win it outright but that’s a definite possibility.

Everyone keeps overlooking HJ and Huffman. That’s a mistake!

Will those kids play varsity ball this year? I’d like to check em out

I think Silsbee’s game will change as this group matures

WOS better have been hiding some really good guards if they are going to be competitive against Silsbee. They probably should be the favorite to secure the runner up spot but barring another Covid shutdown I don’t see the tigers losing a district game this year

I think players have to be conditioned to avoid those conflicts whether it’s in summer league, fall ball or the high school playoffs. Without those tussles in 2021 HJ would have had a really good shot at playing in the state tournament. WOS always has a stable full of athletes it’ll be fun to watch them if they play up to potential.

I gotta ask if WOS looked sharp and disciplined how in the world does their next game end early in a rumble. Also HF loses to Nederland and Memorial and are tabbed as your district favorites? I don’t see anyone challenging Silsbee in that district and the other district will have a shared title.

Size will be the Tigers biggest weakness this year but they will more than make up for it with speed and shooting. The spread between Silsbee and everyone else is going to be noticeable. I think WOS is a legit 2nd place club

I wouldn’t make to much out of the Superintendent or the school board or the either coach. Fact is we were a 1-9 type club with our old coach and we’ll probably be 1-9 type team with the new one. It ain’t the X’s and O’s

I don’t know either coach but if the one you let go goes to a smaller school and then comes back and beats you on your home turf maybe the coach wasn’t the problem. Hopefully Warren will get a win against West Hardin. The rest of the schedule doesn’t look real promising.

Porter came off the bench after the first district game. Sears, White, Davis started all year and Brown started several games. I think they are going to be better than some folks do. White gets very little notoriety but is a very solid ball player.

I’m kinda new at this basketball stuff so I may be wrong. I missed badly on LCM last year but I think that had a lot to do with injury. I’ll be doing a lot of traveling this year to watch different clubs or I may even do a little officiating again. I learned a long time ago not to put to much emphasis on summer league basketball. I think Huffman is going to miss Harvey worse than HJ will miss Baxter. Wirth was a great little PG but I think he was playing on a bad knee almost all the way through district. I like HJ’s chances returning 4 starters and getting some depth from a JV that lost 1 game all season and went undefeated in district.

High school sports in SETX has lost their voice. RIP Todd
