Tied up at 59 with 3:30 left

Silsbee on an 11-1 run to start the 4th

tigers up 4, 6:09 to go. Hawks can’t buy a bucket all of a sudden

I think these teams could play ten games and there’s a good chance they’d each win 5

Now going to the line to tie

Tigers back within 3

54-48 hawks at the end of the 3rd. Great quarter for the hawks

Hawks up 52-45 late 3rd

And now hawks up 3! 13-2 run for the hawks

Hawks tie it! Great fight back. 43-43, 2:30 left in the 3rd

Talk about a costly tech. Tigers go from down 3 to up 10 in about a minute of game play

If the hawks lose this game they can look at dumb technicals two games in a row costing them an outright district championship and having to face Yates early in the playoffs

HJ up 28-26

Tigers up 24-20, bush finally scores for the tigers mid-2nd, but others picking up the slack

Silsbee up 19-15 after 1

Hawks up 4-3 early

2 is different than 1. They also have zero interest in the game, so it’ll be a pain in the butt keeping them semi-still

My wife is headed out of town, and I’m not taking 4 and 7 year old girls to the game. I hate that I’m missing it considering it’s about 12 minutes from my house

I thought they did a decent job. Missed a few calls, but that happens with every crew every game. The jv game was the one that was bad

And yes, the reffing in the JV game was poor, and felt biased, and I say that with only a minimal rooting interest in the game. The HF ineligible varsity player pushed off blatantly with a forearm nearly every time he tried to create separation with no calls, but must have attempted 20 free throws, many on touch fouls or slight bumps on contact he created barreling down the lane. I did enjoy watching the youngest Davis absolutely light it up in the 4th quarter and will them back into the game. Nothing the refs could really call on the 4 or 5 deep threes he hit in the last 6 minutes.

Agreed. But he got the ball in the same spot twice in a row, and the second time 3 players were ready to collapse on him, creating the turnover. He was basically the only option on the play, and it appeared the play was designed to get him the ball in that spot, as he is the point guard. But I’m not the coach, and maybe something else was supposed to happen to free up someone else, and HF just played it really well.

Pretty sure I heard him tell someone he’s out two weeks, which doesn’t bode well for game 3 vs Silsbee.

HJ fan here, sitting on the HJ side. Looked to me on the technical foul that he screamed directly down at the player who had just fallen off his back onto the ground. Either way, should’ve absolutely gotten one for a push I he delivered to an HF player earlier in the half, albeit at a less crucial moment. I did think there was a foul on the turnover with 11 seconds left, but I didn’t like the option of giving your guy the ball hemmed in between the half court line and the out of bounds line, where he had nowhere to go with the ball and no angles to pass once he was triple teamed.

HJ turnover with 9 ticks left, and HF scores. HF wins 40-39. HJ looked terrible tonight. Credit to HF for making the game ugly and pulling it off

HJ ball, same score, timeout, 14.7 seconds left
