Feels like the end of the line for HJ and their runs to state. La Vega is as good as any 4A team as they've faced over the past 4 years or so, and this HJ team, while still excellent, doesn't feel like it's on quite the same level that they've been on the last 3 years. I'll be pulling for the Hawks, though!

Nice push from Buna to make the playoffs, and then give CH all they wanted and more

Lumberton had a decent game plan coming in, but once HJ got a decent lead they just didn’t have the players to run with them

Hawks win 70-45

64-38 with 2:30 left

HJ on a 9-0 run to open the 4th. 61-34

Heck yeah! Palestine showed they’re a quality team in these playoffs

Is beavers playing?

HJ up 52-34 after 3.

They’re down 3 now with :35 left now

Tight one. Update?

Exactly what I expected 😉

HJ leads 34-22 at the half

Hawks have been able to speed it up in the second. Up 29-20 with 2:00 to go in the half. Lumberton has drawn three charges, but has also given up several easy baskets because they’re going down pretty easy at the first hint of contact.

Tied at 11 after one. Lumberton dictated the pace for most of the first quarter, but HJ was able to speed it up a little at the end

They needed it

The way Buna is playing, I wouldn’t be happy getting them in the first round as a 4-seed

Crazy

With a student, or a teacher?

Great kid, great family. I’ve known his parents since around when he was born.

Palestine has a better team than their record indicates. They’ve lost 10 games, but most of them have been to excellent teams. That said, they’ve lost by a lot to those teams, and I’m shocked they did that to Silsbee.

Believe she aggravated a pre-existing injury to her ankle a few weeks ago. I think she’s supposed to be cleared to play either their next one or the game after. whether she’ll be 100% or not is another question. They’ll definitely need her if they’re going to make it back to state.

Lamar has won 3 of their last 5, and played NW state close during that span. Showing some signs of life

Yup. Looking at their schedule, they’ve lost to #3 in the nation Duncanville by 1, #1 in the nation Paul VI by 6, and #5 in the nation Centennial by 6. Overall record of 27-3. Don’t believe BU would be favored over them. That said, BU is an excellent team, and many of the excellent teams on Lake Highlands’ schedule have played them close, so there’s no reason to think that BU can’t make a good run at them

He’s an embarrassment to the party. This thread is about him. Does anybody you named being bad make him any less bad? The answer of course, is no. Unfortunately, in today’s Republican Party, you can make a list of criminals and embarrassments dang near as long as the one you just made.
