BU got these boys wishing they’d just gone ahead and lost a close one in the regional finals

What a start!

Those good small schools will definitely draw players in from the other small towns around them. But it also comes from a whole program that buys in from elementary school on up. I guarantee those kids in that town grow up shooting baskets and playing one on one hoping to play for the high school one day. It also helps that Dallas and Houston ISD have yet to decide that winning a 1A basketball championship is prestigious enough. Once they do we'll start getting Nazareth vs. Dallas or Houston (insert new school name) in the 1A final every year.

I'm kind of curious if he'll be suspended for that. It was super dirty, and broke the kid's wrist. HJ had a player get suspended for his actions against a HH player that cost them their first round playoff game, and I had a lengthy conversation with a HH coach in another thread about it. I'm curious to hear if HH did anything about this.

I definitely worry about the fouls. Being a state final i wouldn’t be surprised if the game is called tight, and canyon will handle the ball better than anyone they’ve faced this year with the exception of possibly summer creek. They’re going to have to be careful with their press.

Toss up. Couldn’t ask for a better matchup for Huffman this deep into the playoffs. Neither team has had to beat any top teams to make it this far. I’ll say Boerne by 7, but pulling for Huffman, and won’t be surprised if they pull it off.

Always makes me happy anytime i see a small country school beat a "small school" from a big city with a huge player pool.

Who ya got?

Nice. I hate that i didn't even realize this was going on

Canyon is really good, but they haven't been quite as convincing the last couple of rounds, barely squeaking by some good (but not great) teams. They're a deliberate team like China Spring, but considerably better. The good news is HJ played pretty poorly and were able to get by China Spring. If either one of these teams plays poorly the other should win. They're pretty evenly matched, with two completely different styles. If HJ can play their game and dictate the pace to some degree I expect them to win fairly comfortably (9-12 points). If Canyon controls the pace I can see them winning a close game (2-6 points). I'll predict something in the middle of that. HJ 66, Canyon 59.

I do as well. 3 losses, with one being a 1-point loss to lancaster and the other a 9-point loss to waxahachie. I'd assume the other loss might've been covid related, but who knows these days. It definitely doesn't fit in with the rest of their schedule. Kimball is 17-10, but obviously a good squad to get this far.

Who ya got?

I still don't understand why they're giving this out to so many kids. 23 kids. and did they do a 3rd team or honorable mention? If so I'd sure feel bad for any starter in the district not named.

Look forward to seeing how y’all game plan against canyon. One thing for sure is they haven’t seen the speed that y’all have this year. Might be quite a bit tougher slowing the game down than they’re used to.

I’ll say this... Jackson is a once in a generation player, but Sneed is a baller, and only a freshman. She’s been playing like a senior in the playoffs. There are several other good underclass players on this roster as well. The hawks could very well keep making these deep runs for another 3 or 4 years

If he was taller he could be a D1 player. I could definitely see him being a contributor on a D2 or D3 squad next year. *edit: his Twitter says he’s committed to Trinity

I do want to know where this announcer was from that he didn’t know how to pronounce “Tony Chachere’s”

They looked SHARP tonight! This was a better team than their last two opponents and they worked them.

HJ blew it open!

HJ is the far better team. FTs the only reason this game hasn’t been busted open. Boerne making most of theirs and HJ missing a lot of theirs

FT shooting killing the hawks. What a end to the half though!

Weird quarter. HJ drew 6 fouls and had about 8 steals. Not sure how this is a 3-point game. If there wasn’t a scoreboard I’d swear they were up 10

BU did well the first half. But cedar park hardly ever misses!

Cedar park missed about two shots that period and rebounded both of them and scored. Brutal quarter
