whsalum

My comment was in regards to the young mans performance having nothing to do with HJ. Most times defenders have some affect on poor shooting performances. I wish nothing but the best for this young man at Lamar. I honestly hope your right and he excels there. It’s been awhile since the Cardinals basketball team has been exciting. I miss those days.

All 3 PNG teams Freshman JV and Varsity played at HJ Tuesday. There was no mention of Covid then .

So are you saying in all those games you’ve never seen a D1 player who doesn’t belong ? Whether a player is D1 or not is irrelevant once they sign. That’s when all the opinions come in to play. Once again I wish the young man nothing but the bests .

PNG played Monday when did they quarantine?

In all fairness to Joe Fan in the stands they don’t make their living evaluating talent so they probably shouldn’t be as good as Coach Price. I’ve probably watched as many games in the Old McDonald Gym, Civic Center and the Montagne Center as most people and have seen some great players there. I’ve also saw some the may not have deserved to be there. I hope Coach Price gets the program back to where it once was.

This is very true. I wish the young man the best and certainly wouldn’t expect him to turn it down.

I’m not sure Id believe this statement. HJ had to have a little to do with it. I wish the McClure kid the best at Lamar but I’m not convinced his game translates into D1 college basketball. JMO for what it’s worth.

Sears has had some very impressive ones this season. He can flat out get up !

This is true. The rest of the H town schools would be protesting if Pop showed up to play with a hand picked team 😳😂😂😂

And make them a prohibitive favorite 😂

If Popovich started Coaching In H town that voting interest may change 😂

Good way to tip it back off

Is Buna still quarantined?

My opinion of the game had nothing to do with talent or coaching ability. I think HJ has one of the best coaches in the state. I personally think discipline is the most important aspect of the game and it will bite you at the most inopportune times. I still think the Hawks are the better team on any given night but until they prove it that’s just my opinion.

Not sure if it had anything to do with it or not but he was coming off a suspension.

Yes sir they changed their game completely when they lost him. They are a little “suspect “ at the post.

The night I saw LCM earlier this year they had two kids who could fill it up from behind the arc. Their PG got ejected early which changed their game completely. If they don’t shoot it like that regularly they will be in trouble.

HH has a solid club. They do everything fundamentally sound especially helping on defense and pass the basketball. Very unselfish club. Harvey is a smart little player but is a little small and may have a problem creating his own shots against a bigger defender. They are an excellent screening team. I haven’t seen Yates this year but HH isn’t solid enough win this region if Yates is anywhere near what they were last year. My biggest surprise from HH was their overall size and I believe Harvey was their only senior.

I have to admit I was surprised that LCM got beat by 16 on their home floor. They have the shooters to play with anyone and they appeared to me to have a pretty decent PG. Their weakness looked to be at the post. I’m guessing they were cold from behind the arc . Live by the 3 die by the 3.

Myself included

Huffman jumped out early in the 1st by double digits. HJ started out cold and got in early foul trouble. They started to get back in it late in the first quarter. The Hawks were doing a pretty good job defensively on Harvey but he is a good little ball player and started to hit some shots in the 2nd. Huffman once again pulled ahead by 10 about the midway point in the 2nd quarter. The game changed somewhere around the 4:00 minute mark of the 2nd quarter on what should have been a huge spark for HJ. They had cut the lead to I think 7 and should have had the momentum but got a technical foul after a MADE BASKET. Huffman hit the FT’s off the technical and I believe a quick 3 with the next possession. You can’t continue to give good basketball teams double digit leads. I can’t give any game analysis after that. I came home. I’ve watched ALOT of basketball in my lifetime and the HJ is probably a 5 point better team on a neutral floor , Harvey is probably the best player on either squad. If the Hawks are going to reach their full potential they are gonna have to clean up the discipline. They simply can’t keep giving up technical fouls in big games in big moments. You can’t win clutch ball games like that. Rant over !! Carry on !!

It’s yours my battery is gone. Thanks

HJ Ice cold #22 for the Hawks in early foul trouble. Harvey held scoreless in the 1st. Huffman 16 HJ 12 end of 1st. Huffman jumped out 10-0.

HJ JV 60 Huffman 52 Overtime HJ JV moves to 5-1 Very good under level game. Huffman JV can shoot the long ball . Varsity tips in 15. I’ll post updates as long as the battery holds but it is fading quick lol.

I haven’t seen Huffman yet this year. They are always well coached and very disciplined. Should be a dandy
