End 3: Hightower 41-30

Weak district....read my previews...HJ will KO the district champ of 22-3A

Yes

Can't get it on my Ibook...Thanks for posting!

Not as good as Yates, Wheatley or Jones but good enough to be the Panthers.

H-D should have beaten Bremond in 1st round...Fell apart in 4th....

I never stay for the Class A-II or 5A title (TV) and usually leave during half of the 4A game. Will likely leave when 4A game starts.

It will likely change because of the injury but WWE sent this to me this morning. Did an interview with Shelton, Jeff & Colons.

As of now...No Triple H or Edge Main: The Undertaker & Jeff Hardy vs. Big Show & Umaga Shelton defends US Title against MVP Carlito and Primo Colon defend WWE Tag straps against The Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel Great Khali vs. Chavito Guererro Also Appearing: MATT HARDY JIMMY WANG YANG FESTUS R-TRUTH EVE, MARIA & MICHELLE MCCOOL

Marcus should have won....he's much better than that wash up and probably took him lightly. Brown is a beast. I thought Garcia might have a chance. Brown and Faber will swing until someone gets KOd.

Starting to get old. Leave it for one thread.

Four Teams Vying for Last Two Spots in Southland Basketball Tournament Lamar, McNeese State, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas State trying to qualify for conference tournament Six spots have been filled for the 2009 State Farm Southland Conference Basketball Tournament next week at the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas. Nicholls State, Sam Houston State, Stephen F. Austin, UT Arlington, UTSA and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi have each earned entry into the conference tournament. Lamar, McNeese State, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas State still have a shot to get in with two games remaining in the regular season. Northwestern State has been mathematically eliminated from one the tournament field, which takes the top two teams in each division and the next four best records. This is the final season Central Arkansas is not eligible for postseason play because of its transition from NCAA Division II, but would not have qualified this season if it had been eligible. Southeastern Louisiana (5-9) plays at McNeese State (5-9) in a must-win game for each team. The loser is eliminated and the winner faces its fate based on how Lamar and Texas State, both 6-8 finish. Lamar plays at A&M-Corpus Christi on Wednesday while Texas State plays host to UTSA. Attention turns to seeding for the six teams already in the tournament. Stephen F. Austin can clinch the top seed if it can win its final two games against Central Arkansas and UTSA. One SFA win clinches at least a share of the regular-season and East Division titles. The Lumberjacks have a one-game lead over Nicholls State in the East. Sam Houston, which is just a game behind SFA in the race for the top seed, can clinch a share of the West Division title with a win Wednesday against Northwestern State. The Bearkats have a one-game lead in the division ahead of UT Arlington and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Beyond that the possibilities are too numerous to mention. Southland Tie-Breaking Procedure Tournament seeding, 1 through 8, shall be based upon regular-season winning percentage regardless of divisional place in Conference competition. In the event of a tie for any seeded position, seed shall be determined by utilizing the conference’s tie-breaking formula. All ties shall be broken in the order in which they occur, from top to bottom, in the standings. (a) If two teams are tied and they are from different divisions, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the higher seed. ( If two teams are tied and they are from the same division, the team with an advantage in head-to-head competition shall be the higher seed. © If two teams remain tied, there will be a comparison of overall record against division teams only (10 divisional games). (d) If two teams remain tied, there will be a *comparison of record against the highest ranked team(s) (based upon Conference winning percentage) in the division and proceeding through in order of divisional finish. (e) If two teams remain tied, there will be a *comparison of record against the highest ranked team(s) (based upon Conference winning percentage) in the opposite division and proceeding through in order of divisional finish. (f) If two teams remain tied, the higher seed will be chosen by draw. (g) If three or more teams are tied, ties among divisional opponents will be broken by using steps ( through (f) and the head-to-head results will be used to break ties between non-divisional teams. When three or more teams from the same division are tied step ( will consist of a mini-round robin among those tied teams. At any point during the process of breaking ties among three or more teams that the number of tied teams are reduced to two, head-to-head competition would be used as the primary tiebreaker, followed by steps © through (f). * Note: When comparing against the “highest†ranked team(s) in either division, the comparison will be based upon how tied teams did against all teams in a given placement, rather than a team that wins a tiebreaker at another position. For example, if two teams are tied for fifth and two teams are tied for first, the head-to-head comparison would be how the fifth place teams did against the first place teams combined, and vice versa.

Back to topic. I don't think Cleveland/HJ will be that great. HJ is much better than this overranked bunch and should win by plenty rather than come down to last possession.

Didn't HJ lose to Kingwood Park in their own yard?

Travis played PAM close because it's a rivalry? Wrong coop. I never said that.

No one is hating on PA. If you went to any of their games, then you would know that most of the parents, especially early in the season, would try to yell and argue with Henderson during the game, which is PITIFUL. Just because someone thinks Hightower will beat PAM, doesn't mean they are hating. I picked NW to beat Kountze, but that AINT hating. I am tired of this "woe is me" posts. I think PAM has a good shot at upsetting them, but on paper, no way.

Looks like the new Lions Den in Kountze...Waiting on time

Don't forget lil coop (now taller than older coop)

All games are wed...still waiting. Won't know until Monday.

Rice passed on Coker...He wanted way too much money & some other things.

La Vega won 60-54...Update up top.... More will come tomorrow
