Nah my math is good! The extra years were added based on a weak schedule  ;D

[/quote] They have ALWAYS been clean...stop wishing and hoping they lose players, cause they won't...just get ready for your one or two playoff rounds next season, and hope HJ is not on the same bracket as Yates!!!  ;D [/quote] Dickie, by no less authorities than you and Dove, our area now knows that no "Real" basketball in Texas high school is played below the 5A and 4A levels.  That being true (because you two said it), then might some of those Yates boys decide not to follow Yates into 3A because they still want to play "Real" basketball?  And then you would have an ordinary 3A Yates team playing ordinary 3A Hardin-Jefferson or ordinary 3A Silsbee.  Is it your position that an ordinary 3A Yates team is that superior over H-J or Silsbee or other Region III teams? [/quote]Here is the difference. Yates will continue to play a national schedule. Ya know, like national powerhouse teams across the nation. And you already know HJ's schedule

They have so many other players on the roster. BUT! I do know HJ won't make it to Austin!!!! [/quote] Yeah but the fact that you started a thread about HJ not making it to state just shows what envy/jeaulosy you have for the program.  You could've listed hundreds of Texas schools that won't make it to state but yet you chose HJ - we are flattered! [/quote]I have never hid the fact that I am jealous of the HJ program.  ;)

Hmmm? Where are my WO-S supporters?

[quote name="dogs1218" post="1211748" timestamp="1334706379"] An honest opinion here, HJ will still be good and make the playoffs, but no one in 3-A will beat Yates.. I will even say they wont win by less than double digits in every 3-A game.. Not hating on Hardin Jefferson, just making sure people understand ;) [/quote]Nothing wrong with honesty

[quote name="cbosha" post="1211499" timestamp="1334678593"] You are right Blue dove. HJ's plight is hopeless. That Bosha kid is a crappy player. The 30 points he scored against Friendswood and the 25 points he scored against Nederland were flucks. The Padgett kid cannot play at all neither can Martel and the other players. They can't be good because Ozen beat them by 2 points even though HJ was playing with 6 players and Ozen had about 15 players. Poor HJ whatever will they do?
