Yes sir it was 2008, I think Daniel Marsh was the kids name from Hardin that was a really good ballplayer that year. Beat them in Hardin.

These type games have to give coaches ulcers. When you beat a team convincingly on a neutral court by 23 and then play them again in the middle of a district schedule it's just hard to get the same motivation out of kids. Couple that with Jasper's shooting percentage on the night and you get the upset. It should be a confidence boost for Jasper but the Hawks will bounce back and be fine.

This one is a surprise. I wonder if Huffman was st full strength ?

Did we forget about Center ??

I have seen all the above teams this year except Memorial but without seeing the clubs in the other areas of the region its tough to make an educated guess. From what I've seen Silsbee would have to have the best odds.The 2A road will be a coin flip every night once the playoffs start. Looking at the other clubs and going back over the years when they had state qualifying clubs it's going to be tough .I wish them all the best but its going to be tough.

EC and Kountze are probably 1 and 2 and a pretty good bit better than everyone else. Buna should be the favorite for 3rd when they play to potential, they had one stretch before Christmas where they lost 6 or 7 in a row. When the get it together they aren't bad.

I've seen both these clubs and I gotta give EC the nod. Kountze as always has to score off turnovers and I don't see them turning EC over much. I'll say EC 70 Kountze 60.

I gotta give EC the nod to take the district title this year. Kountze will definitely be in the mix but I don't think they have the depth to beat the Bucs. Buna seperates from the pack for 3rd and 4th is coin flip.

Hardin Jefferson vs Huffman Friday should be a really good ball game. Huffman is a tough group at home and the matchups are like looking in a mirror.

I did see some savage dunk attempts off the back iron Friday by the kids from Shepherd.

Gotta shoot em if the shot went up before the buzzer. Time goes back on clock .

Congrats Eagles. Great job !!

In high school Basketball it's all about matchups. Silsbee has to be the favorite.

Yes he is, very strong disciplinarian. My boys learned a lot about the game from him. Give him a year and he'll get results

There should be no hating on this young man. All eyes are on him and he knows it yet he just goes ahead and plays the game.I can see why college coaches are high on him, he has a great shot and will probably bulk up over the next few years. He is special!!

That's why I like to see tournaments with pool play and gold/Silver brackets. You spread the better teams out in pools and end up with a great championship. Who beat Big Sandy ?

HJ 84 Huffman 69 Great ballgame the first half with both teams swapping buckets. HJ pulled out by 25 in the 3rd. Sets up a Nederland vs HJ final at 6:30.

Kountze appeared to play a match up zone a lot of that ballgame . Never saw them do that before. Second half foul count was 9-3 never saw that in a KTZ vs HJ game.

I'm surprised to see Kountze getting in foul trouble. I watched them earlier in the week at HJ and they had 3 second half fouls with not a lot of pressure.

Kountze doesn't have the dominant player they have had in the past that can score in possession type games. They play extremely hard though so they will win some they shouldn't and struggle with fouls and scoring at times.

Anyone know where I can see the Saturday bracket??

Has surely grown in to a west end Wanda

Great read, King Cotton gives some insight into how some of the better programs in East Texas got their roots.

They got a good one !!

The coach at Cleveland was awful young I thought ?? That's a big time step, wish him the best. The Cleveland job should be a good one, there was some talent there last year but I'm not sure what they return.
