Fairfield won 86-60 to move to 32-4 on the year.

HJ girls were down 1-0 with 15 left and came back to win 3-1

Jasper boys won 4-1. jasper girls lost 2-0. This is a far cry from the jasper girls we’ve seen the last several years. They must’ve had a lot of seniors graduate last year.

But they can’t, which means it’s unfair system.

Only if they show some respect and put in the 3rd string

The only hope HJ has is that it’s been a couple of months since Yates has played a decent team. Hopefully they come out cocky and ready for an easy win, and HJ comes out with a chip on their should and plays a near perfect game. HJ is a quality 4A squad, but then again, Yates is good enough to go to state in 5A. I expect Yates to win by 25-30. If HJ pulls this off it might be the most impressive win in the school’s history. But they play the game for a reason, and I’m rooting for a miracle.

What’s impressive is they won a playoff game against a team that was 31-2. And beat Silsbee and HJ in two weeks to make the playoffs to begin with.

When’s the last time the regular season finished with neither HJ or Silsbee in the rankings? They’re both among the top-25 in the state, IMO, but the rankings say otherwise

Glad a little hangover from the emotion of the last game didn’t cost them. Keep it going, tigers.

Thanks. Saw that exact scenario tonight in a college game.

Just curious... in higher levels in a situation like this where a foul occurs and then a tech, doesn’t the team shoot two free throws and then the free throws from the foul become their extra possession? I’m almost positive it’s that way in the nba, can’t remember with college. It just seems like allowing them tech free throws, then foul free throws, then the ball is excessive.

Yup, been saying this for years. 4a schools in both cities with player pools larger than the entire towns’ populations of the 4A schools they play. Silsbee and HJ would have a shot of meeting at regionals. edit: sorry, AAW, responded to this before I read further into the thread.

Girls: 0-0, jasper wins in a shootout

Nice

Hell of a game

Hawk ball down 5, 4 seconds left

Harper steals the inbound, fouled , that’s just about it

:19.8 left, same score. Hawks sending bush to the line 9 time in OT in a game where he went 20 of 20 (so far) lost the game for them

Bush steals and scores, with the foul. Tigers up 4, soon to be 5, about :40 left

73-71, tiger lead, tiger ball, :48 left

Free throws the major difference in this game so far

Tigers up 1. Bush 16 of 16 from the line tonight.

Wirth with the 3 from 30 ft to tie it with 20 seconds, Bush misses at the buzzer, going to OT!

Miss both, Bush scores. Tigers up 63-62 with 1:10 to go

Same score, 1:30 left, hawks to the line for 2
