[font=Courier]If the 3s are falling for Ktz & they get to rolling, they are tough. When Joubert moved Walker & Bray to the 1-2 in the 4th they were nearly unstoppable going to the hole.[/font]

[font=Courier]LOL....No AggieLion....I had a few people tell me that last night & another today. From what I hear, it's going to be a war.[/font]

[font=Courier]Little birdie told me that Rudder coach was overheard on Saturday night at the Montagne saying Rudder wins by 15+.[/font]

[font=Courier]As always, great job Gerry! Thank you for the PRE-EVENT and post event support![/font]

[font=Courier]Thanks for the kind words WHS and others. Just woke up.... First and foremost, it wasn't just me. Plenty of people behind the scenes that made this work starting with Jim Barton. Lamar University was great to work with especially women's coach Larry Tidwell, who deserves a big thank you! Getting the Montagne every year is not as easy as one would think. First, the cost. Just to get the building is pricey then add insurance, staff, game officials, security and emergency personnel. Then, scheduling conflicts. We could not get it Friday like we wanted because Northwestern State's women's team refused to move their walk-thru (glad Lamar blew them out on Saturday). Then, you have to have the perfect matchup. And silsbee and kountze was perfect. That was a great game to watch. Spurger shot lights out and I give them a standing ovation because it seemed that every person that lives in that town came to the game. And thank you to Newton. Coach Northrup raises his hand first every year and is not scared to play anyone in any class. The Yates of the world are fun to watch, but like we say every year, small schools are the way to go. As far as the crowd, I'll have the final numbers in a few days but it was well more than any of what Lamar has had this season. The ones that came to the game: thank you very much for supporting the event! A big one is already being planned in the fall. We will be bringing in some of the best small school teams in Reg 3 and 4 to Southeast Texas to play the best in the Golden Triangle! See you guys in the gym!!!! [/font]

[font=Courier]I liked the way they let them play....yes, fouls were missed on both ends, and some fouls were bad calls, but there wasn't a foul called on every trip down the floor, which was good. [/font]

I did check district handbook....the new one...section 1230 states they are co-champs. This was changed when livingston came in.

[font=Courier]Ana won by 30...don't know final yet.[/font]

Liv grabs 4th

[font=Courier]Westbury Christian wanted Yates but Yates declined....WC is a dangerous team for Yates to play. Yates and Washington? Next. Cleveland and Bellaire won't be bad. [/font]

[font=Courier]Major change @ HF from the top. I hear the AD is out. [/font]

[font=Courier]HoopInsider Playoff Preview Sat, Feb. 20 - Montagne Center - Lamar University Tickets: $7 Game 1: - 6pm Class A-I No. 25 Spurger vs. Newton Game 2 - 7:15pm Silsbee Tigers vs. Kountze Lions[/font]

[font=Courier]I agree. LU isn't very good but would beat LSC-PA. End of story. [/font]

[font=Courier]I'd be fine with that...Hear Marlin is being courted by a Louisiana school as well.[/font]

[font=Courier]The thing that impressed me the most about SHSU wasn't their hot shooting in the first half, but the way those guys play man defense. When you can hold the home team to .190 shooting in their own gym in the first half - IMPRESSIVE. Best in team in the SLC by far.[/font]
