whsalum

When their on their game-HJ is the best team in Southeast Texas,not sure how any of us stack up against the rest of the state.There are some good teams in all regions every year.

Some folks were leaving at halftime,but the atmosphere the last quarter was unbelievable.This was a total team effort with everyone contributing in the 4th.Sims hit a 4 point play and followed on the next possesion with a 3,Granger,Nash, Swinney and McBee really stepped up big on the defensive end.Rawls,Wright and Andrews also were clutch with rebounds and steals.Your right Pappa,this was a fun game to watch.Hardin played a whole lot better than when I saw them earlier in the year.Not sure why there girls club and fans left early in the 3rd,they could have used the support.

When Donahoe is healthy he is straight up the best overall recruit this year.In todays game it takes a lot of different things to play at the D1 level,the most overlooked is physical strength.This kid has all the tools.Hope "ROC"is watching.

DP#1 said he was out for 3 weeks,not sure whats up????

I agree with that assesment.They have 2 solid post players,but are young in the backcourt.

I think Warren has the inside track,especially if Deweyvilles big kid is out.Warren has beaten Deweyville 2 out of 3 but lost the 1 that counted in the district opener.They have wins over Anahuac,Buna and Hardin but they have a brutal week coming up with EC and Kountze on the road.The 3rd spot is wide open.

Thru 3 1/2 quarters I thought you were a prophet.Kids really surprised me tonight,they just wouldn't quit.

What in the world has happened to Spurger ??? ??? ??? ???

Sometimes it's better not to wake a sleeping giant.

Thats a breakdown of Warrens points.#33 for Hardin had 17,#12 had 13 for the Hornets.Warren had a terrible first half,but really shot it well in the 4th for the win scoring 32 in the last quarter.Great crowd tonite in Warren ,best I 've seen in several years.Great job guys,it would have been easy to folded tonite being down by 24 in the 3rd.Fun game to watch,gotta feel for the Hornets they played hard.

I agree double digit scoring means absolutely nothing picking a top 30, not sure who deserves to be there.There are no bad players on this list but it's impossible to pick the 30 best in southeast Texas.FYI not sure about Andrews but Sims is also in double digits in rebounds and assist,has hit over 40 3 pointers so far this season and is shooting almost 90% from the free throw line.May not be a top 30 but that ain't to shabby.Andrews is a very good rebounder and shooter and both are juniors.Both are very team oriented players and will get nothing but better.List looks good to me.

I hope you don't judge us on the HJ game,it was the worst we have played this year by far.HJ would have embarrased a lot of teams that night.Warren is playing at home so they should be favored.I'll say Warren by10.

DP#1,What happened to Bland?Hope he isn't hurt.There are some awful good coaches in 24aa.That might make for an interesting thread.Carter has over 500 wins and Joubert has won everywhere he's been.Hanks good but I don't know who would have the edge if they all had equal talent.Back to the prediction EC by 15 if Preston and McDonald are back.

Sure they can come back.It's a long season and every club will have peaks and valleys.Thats where coaching and character come in and HJ has a sideline full of good coaches.Going undefeated is nearly impossible in high school basketball.Of course it doesn't hurt when you have a Donahoe to go to in the clutch.Home court is a huge advantage in this district so don't panic.Silsbee still has to go to HJ.This district could end in a tie and I like HJ on a neutral floor against WOS or Silsbee.

I have seen the oilers several times this year and really enjoyed watching them but I don't see them beating BS by 20.Letsinger is a very good player but BS always plays great defense and very fundamental offense.That combination leads to close games.Heres an idea for Coop.Put your 2 cents in for WH vs BS in the playoff preview at the Montagne Center next month.West Hardin should win at home and that could be the tie breaker like Kountze and EC did 2 years ago.That would let lots of folks see how good small school basketball can be.Congrats to the Oilers on a great start,yall will be fine. ;)

Game got off to a slow start for both clubs.Warren turned it up a little in the second half and won 55-40.Warriors go to 19-3 on the season.Good job guys.

Warren-55 Buna-40 Sims had 12 for Warren,Andrews-10.

I think 2 of Tarkingtons losses are to West Hardin and 1 to Warren.Not real sure who they beat.They have a better club than Liberty.Can,t comment on Cleveland or Coldspring,haven't seen them.

Not by that much in Buna.I'll pick Warren by 10.

Don't underestimate BS.They will play good defense,will be fundamentally sound and very well coached.WH is playing well and have won several close games this year which is the mark of a senior team.If Letsinger is healthy this game is almost dead even,if not BS wins on their home floor by 6.

Just give West Hardin their due.Its hard to rank 1-a thru 3-a schools in the same poll.WH is a lot of fun to watch this year and they are a senior dominated club.They have worked hard to get where they are .Congrats Oilers.Sunshine Warren is a small 2-a school.HJ would have beat a lot of teams by 50 the night we played them,they were off the hook.Warren is 18-3 so they can't be to bad.WH is 18-0 hard to argue with that.Not any bad clubs on this list.

I don't know whats up with Liberty.I know they have lots of kids who could play but I haven't seen them on the court.I saw them play about 4 times this year and they look like they should be a lot better.This was more than a 20 point game midway thru the 4th .Not sure whats goin on over there ??? ???

EC by 25 ??? ??? ???

He coached about as good of game as he could have.His post player had an off night and he is usually real solid.I wouldn't want to have to carry a team over their and have to beat him 3 times in 1 year.The last game may be interesting.

Bottom line is WH is better this year,HD can stay close if they get it to the big guy down low.I pick WH by 10.
