The high school principal was there and assumed that position but the officials would not let him on the bench.He had to sit in the row directly behind the bench.Not sure why but that's where they put him.He is a great baseball guy but was just a spectator as far as this game went.He was an administrator however so the game was legit.

Both clubs will be focused after losing tournament games this weekend.HJ gets the nod at home. HJ-80 Silsbee-72

This one will come down to the health of Bland.Playing in Deweyville they will have an advantage but I have to wonder if Kevin is healthy after looking at his Spurger Tourney stats.Anahuac will have great atheletes and a very good coach that will make it almost dead even.The loser of this game starts district 0-2 which will be a huge hole to crawl out of.If D-ville handles the pressure they win this one at home.This is gonna be a fun one to watch. Deweyville-70 DaWack -66

I enjoyed the visit after the game beeninnikes.I'll be seeing ya at some of the Spurger,Big Sandy games later in the year I'm sure.

Phillip Whittaker had 22 in this one and really played well,George Whittaker also stepped up and played a good ballgame.The Sheffield kid,who is one of Spurgers best, just didn't put it up tonight.When he and Blankenship shoot the 3 Spurger is hard to beat.Best of luck to the Pirates the rest of the way.

I think they should have said it sooner.Spurger shot over 20 free throws in the first half and Warren shot 0.I have never seen a half of basketball officiated that poorly.I was proud of the Warren kids they were down by double digits when the coaches got the thumb and really pulled together.I 've seen these kids play with 4 players and almost beat Brookeland and now beat a good Spurger club without a coach.One thing I've learned about them is there isn't any quit in them.Good job guys,you deserved this one.

That wasn't the foul count,it was throws attempted.Warren was 8/12,Logansport was 21/40.Still with that being said if we cut the turnovers in half we win this ball game.I agree lots of no calls in the backcourt but alot of careless t/o(5 second,traveling and double dribbling).Warren shows signs of being a good club but they are going to have to play with more consistency to be a playoff club.

Logansport-16 35 54 74 Logansport had 4 players in double figures 17,16,14,13. Warren- 10 31 49 61 Sims -26,Andrews-15,Swinney-9 Very close ballgame until late 4th when Warren had to start intentionally fouling.Foul count was questionable to say the least.Logansport shot 40 free throws on the game ,Warren shot 12.Turnovers were the key in this one though regardless of the foul count Warren had 24.We gotta take better care of the basketball.The kids from Louisiana have a good club.

Warren- 11 27 43 59 WH- 11 27 36 49 WH-Copeland-33 Warren-Andrews-21 , Sims-17 Warren showed the signs of a 13 day layoff but shot it well enough to win going away by 10. Copeland played a good ballgame but has absolutely no help.99% of the possessions go thru him.If the big guys could step up WH could compete in there district if not it's gonna be a long year.

I think the HJ girls are 16-3 and 4-0 in district.They look like they are improving every week and have played some very good ballclubs this year.I knew they would be good at the guards but I have been impressed with how much there post players have improved.They really pressure the ball and I think could be real interesting come playoff time.

Anything can happen on any given night in high school basketball but if all the district teams play up to there potential HJ will win it.Silsbee will be second and Jasper third.Orangefield will be well coached and play disciplined basketball but Jasper should pull it out with the athletes they have.Then again this is high school basketball and emotions will play a huge part in it.Thats why it's so much fun to watch.

It's all about the pressure Kountze will put on the ball.If they are successful doing that EC will be in for a long night.I listened to the web cast the other night and it sounded like EC was really having trouble with Central's pressure and Kountze is every bit as quick as Central.I really like VMac but if he isn't 100% healthy EC won't matchup very well with Kountze's post players,they have 2 that can hurt ya and they will shoot the ball well at home.

I gotta go with Spurger in this one.I've seen both clubs play 2 or 3 times this year and the matchups favor the pirates.Both clubs have very good post players but Spurger shoots it better from the perimeter.They are playing in Hardin so it's real close. Spurger- 64 Hardin-60

The ballgame between Kountze and Hardin came down to Kountzes shot selection and there poor performance at the FT line.Hardin played hard and deserved the win on that night but they didn't handle the press very well.Kountze had the open looks they just didn't convert on the outside shots.I think they took those shots to keep from challenging Marsh inside which is understandable,he can make you alter your shot or block it if you don't.Hardin had a let down against Woodville which is very common after a big game like they played Tuesday.Woodville isn't a bad club by any means,they will not beat themselves so you better show up to play or your in trouble.

Spurger played well in this one.WH slowed the Pirates inside game and Sheffield stepped up and hit some huge 3's.The folks in Spurger need to get behind this club,they are pretty good and deserve a good crowd at home.Tyler struggled tonight for the first 3 quarters but got on a roll late.He could really use some help in the backcourt.WH is pretty big across the post but the pressure tonight killed them when the ball wasn't in Copelands hands.This district is gonna be real interesting between Spurger and Big Sandy.Good luck to both these clubs the rest of the way.

If this one is in Kountze they win it by 10.Thomas is a great player but his supporting cast seems to be down a little this year.I don't think the big kid is anywhere close to being 100% but he has a tremendous amount of heart and picks them up by being on the floor.Kountze will be quick enough to keep the ball out of Tramain's hands at times.If they do that they win.

Hardin appeared to have a let down this afternoon.I saw this game and the one against Kountze and they just never got in this one.Woodville took care of the basketball and took high percentage shots and Hardin just didn't shoot it very well today.

WH and Spurger are in opposite sides of the bracket in the tourney.WH opens with Warren and Spurger goes against High Island.I think Spurger will win this game Friday by 20.Copeland is a very good player but Spurger has a lot of options while WH has 1. Spurger-70 WH-48

Amen!!!! I had no one playing in this game and I enjoyed the entertainment immensely.Very well played game and the best officiated one I have seen this year and I have been to a lot of them.Lots of hard play as it should be when 2 good teams square off.Kountze will be focused when the next district game rolls around.Congrats to the Hornets.

Spurger beat Warren early in the season in a good ballgame.That would be a good final if it plays out that way.Brookeland is capable of winning the top half but they will have to play well to beat Spurger at home.Warren played Brookeland very tough at Zavalla with 2 starters missing and 4 players the whole 4th quarter.Who is Deweyville missing?I know absolutely nothing about Logansport so I can't say who the favorite would be in the bottom half the bracket.

Marsh is solid as a dollar.I went to the ballgame just to watch and I thought it was a pretty well officiated game.Not sure about highsky stats on the free throws.Neither team shot them real well,but in that atmosphere that is understandable.I think this districts champ will be the team that steals a couple on the road.They will have at least 2 losses and I think there are 5 or 6 teams capable of winning it.Watching Kountze last night they would still be my favorite.They lived and died last night with the long ball and it wasn't falling.This was a game that was a lot of fun to watch.

I told ya 3 months ago there was a pretty good club taking shape in Sour Lake.Congrats Ladies ;D ;D ;D

Warren has positioned themselves to take the second spot.They have beaten Hardin,EC and Deweyville and have Anahuac and Buna left to finish up the first round.They are playing a lot better than when I first saw them earlier this year.

I've seen our kids play both teams.BC is fundamentally a little better but Jasper is a lot quicker at both the post and the guards.BC has the better shooters so it will be whoever controls the tempo will win.The post guy from BC was held to 8 points when they played at Warren and the shots weren't falling for the rest of the guys that night.I think Jasper will be the favorite for the 3rd playoff spot in that district.with BC and Orangefield being close.

Very solid post player and another kid who shot the ball well from the perimeter.Didn't beat themselves and didn't commit a lot of mistakes.Not sure how many underclassmen they have but they are much better than they were last year.
