I agree, English needs to listen to his dad/coach and shoot the darn ball!!  >:( [/quote] I agree, Zach needs to stop thinking about it and just let it fly.... you can't score if you don't shoot.  He is more than able to put up 16 or more points a night... look at the kid for HJ last night #12.. he missed his first 3 shots and 2 were three pointers but he didnt lose his confidence he kept shooting and knocked down his next 4 shots.... 3 of them from 3 pt land.  In this game you got to have confidence and a short memory... [/quote]And......easier said than done!!! [/quote] #12 sure made it look easy!!!!! LOL [/quote]Yes he did

ok

Who votes on these rankings? Just curious.

Probably not as good as last year but they won't lose more than 7. [/quote] You must be related to BlueDove [/quote]No relative of mine would dare speak out such positive utterance about HJ on a public forum. ;D

I agree, I didn't see any intensity with Nederland players last night other than during the introduction for players.

Even the coach from last year left. Humble must have had some transfers. I saw them in a Fall league and they looked good. [/quote] Dove, you will be glad to know that a coach from the HJ staff is an assistant in Humble this year [/quote]So thats what happened.Makes sense now

Or maybe there was so much talent from recruiting in the past that  the talent was overriding the coaching

[quote name="Stevenash" post="1337845" timestamp="1353426079"] [quote author=BIG SHOW link=topic=106552.msg1337768#msg1337768 date=1353417961] HJ teams in the past would normally beat Nederland by there press, last night Nederland had no problem breaking the press. Nederland needs to get more aggressive once they break the press and go get some layups.  Last night HJ team shot lights out.  I would like to know what there shooting percentage was. This game wasnt about turnovers, it was about a hot shooting HJ team vs a bad shooting night for Nederland. Nederland had plenty of scoring chances they just couldnt get anything to fall. Keep your heads up, these kind of games happen from time to time. [/quote] Nederland didnt get opportunities to get layups because they broke the press by walking the ball up the court with frequent reversals in order to make sure they did not turn it over.  Once they got to half court, it was still five against five and there were not many layup opportunities [/quote] ??? ???  Oh I get it now. In other words Nash, HJ was just quicker than Nedreland last night.

Recruiting!

My so-called (and ex) Humble friends told me they had nothing coming back. Even the coach from last year left. Humble must have had some transfers. I saw them in a Fall league and they looked good.

Yeah, someone said near Dallas several times. But I kept seeing Big Sandy playing in the area and it just didn't compute why a team would travel from that area to come play here. So actually its the first time someone said Livingston area  :P

Nederland will be okay. HJ was hot last night and Nederland wasn't. Good to lose now and work the kinks out before district. HJ and Silsbee as predicted will own their district again.

[quote name="nitrobb" post="1337437" timestamp="1353368203"] Big Sandy near Tyler and Big Sandy near Livingston [/quote]Ohhh!!!

Can't wait till district. Good luck Hawks! [/quote] After the 2nd or 3rd game of the season, we come to the conclusion that Silsbee and H-J are the bread and butter of southeast Texas?  Yea, whatever.  You really don't even have much respect or credibility with your fellow tiger fans, let alone anyone else. [/quote] Its way too early to make any evaluations.  Things might be very different by playoff time.  I remember in, ( I think it was about 4 years ago) that HJ started out 1-2 and the doomsdayers were everywhere and they wound up in Austin.  Lots of basketball to be played between now and playoff time [/quote]Wait a minute Nash! This isn't what ................oh nevamind. ;D

RcsSports predicting a double digit win for Yates over Ozen Wednesday night. Well, watching Silsbee whip Central has definitely given me *hope* that anything can happen, if you click your shoes three times. Phi Panther Jamma!!!

What about "teamwork" and [i]winning as a team[/i]? Yeah I get it; some kids are dominate, and they will make it to the next level, "showcased" or not. No one should be "mad" about a TEAM not "showcasing" an individual.    [/quote]People in Crosby asked the same thing after Marka committed to TCU, except it was the opposite. People wondered if Flannigan didn't showcase him his senior year because he had already committed. It seems like Casey got it less the year before he went to Baylor too. I think if you're a coach you do whatever you need to make sure you're going to make the mortage payment at the end of the year. [/quote]You go with whats going to get you to the big show, and not holding back a player's talent. Or as I like to refer to at times, not waiting for the others to catch up.

The program has my respect... [/quote] "Play as a team" is a phrase tossed around a lot, but it very accuratly describes them.. Everyone knows their role and stays to it [/quote] "Knowing your role."
