[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="955891" timestamp="1296158555"] HJ is much more talented than HF. The talent level is not the same, trust me. Seen both teams numerous times this season, it's not even close. HF is improved from the last few years, but to lay all the teams shortcomings at the coaches feet is just plain stupidity. To suggest he is the reason why HF can't beat HJ or Silsbee is ludicrous. [/quote]First of all, I still think HF has a way to go to be able to compete mentally with the top teams in their district. I think the HF coach did a better job of subbing against WO-S, but HF players also have to do their part, as well as the coach. Personally, I think some players didn't play as hard against WO-S. HF has to keep the core of their best players active in the game. You can't put in 3 role players with 6 minutes left in a quarter. Based on the talent level that HF has, the core of their best players gotta stay active in the game and not rely on subs to help keep you in the game.

[/quote]HF didn't play with the intensity they had against Silsbee. Plus Silsbee missed a bunch of easy shots and bad passes. ;) [/quote] Correction Blue - Silsbee was only missing their 2nd best player and their head coach which make up the team!  :) [/quote] yeah, and if HF had a different coach, they'd "handle HJ".  just like they would've handled WOS, i presume? [/quote]I'm not saying that at all. "It is what it is."

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="955695" timestamp="1296141030"] Thought about making some for the HJ/HF game but figured that there would not be much demand!!!! ;D ;D [/quote] :D ;D >:( ::)

[/quote] HF could have the best coach in America and they still wouldn't win this game. [/quote] Funny you should say that Bobcat - HF sure did beat OF (Bobcats) this season without "the best coach in America".  So you think if HF had Phil Jackson  :o they still wouldn't win against HJ?  HF has just as much talent as HJ so yes they could win this game.  And yes, I'm a Laker fan too! [/quote]HHFMom makes a good point. I haven't seen HJ play, but HF has the talent to give HJ a good game. I was thinking next year but this is a good team. As much as AAW tries to take up for his "friend," it is what it is. Subbing is hurting the team. You can't expect a high school team to sub as if you're in Little Dribblers (role players),lose momentum and try and catch up later on. It is what it is!!!

[/quote]I think its more investing with the present. The HF coach knows exactly what lineup to use that will give them the maximum effort to compete. I've seen him do it ONCE! He's a egood guy and wants all his players to play and I can understand this position. Thats how we play in middle school and its fun for the kids. But you have entitled kids in that hs program :D [/quote]Actually what I would like to see next season is a tougher pre-district season. Sabine pass, Tarkington, and evadale will get you some wins and the record will look promising but those games don't challenge the team. Sure a couple of light games is fine...but the team needs to get some experience at pulling through a tough one in order to be able to do it in a district game. [/quote] hey, hey, naming names, is that really necessary?  ;) ;D [/quote] :D

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="955556" timestamp="1296104516"] All shirts are ash grey..........with the logo wording being in black, a hawk head, tiger head and some blue and maroon!!! [/quote]I am really shocked that finally some humbleness is coming out in HJ land.  I thought the shirts would be ALL blue and red (HJ colors?) and you would still "hawk" the shirts to Silsbee fans for $15 ::)

Both of you are correct. ;)

If I wasn't banned so many times in the past I could have helped a little. ;D

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="955218" timestamp="1296073205"] We used to beat them all the time  before Kendrick Perkins arrived, which was like in 2000.  We didn't beat them in 9 years after.  Beat them last year @ Ozen in OT.  Beat them again yesterday @ Central.  [/quote]Talent level went down. Central better enjoy it now ;D

The whole thing is about who controls practice...the AD or the HC...you could replace any school for EC and the argument is still a good one.. -Mike [/quote] Coach Valastro is as good as they come & for anyone to post on here otherwise tells everyone that you don't have a clue what it takes to run a successful athletic program. Most of these witchhunts stem from a parent with a son/daughter whose getting no playing time. [/quote]I'm glad you said "most." I was more concerned because of a year round regiment of organized sports activities versus a kid whose active for less months. You don't use the same regimen ;)

It's really amazing what winning will do to your fan base. All is okay in Jag Land today. ;D

[/quote] Wouldnt it be better to credit the team for the win or loss or whatever rather than singling out an individual..  Often times, when an individual has impressive statistics, much of it can be credited to action taken by some other teammate(s).  When Gustafson went 4 for 4 from three point range the other night at West Orange, a good portion of the credit for that goes to the defense being overly concerned with the three point shooting ability of Bosha and Sutherland.  So, in spite of not making a single three themselves, I believe Bosha and Sutherland were partially responsible for the success Gustafson had with the long shots. [/quote]Huh? And I thought you believed in individual responsibity
