Pretty frustrating as an HJ fan to see this confirmation that they had a real chance to advance out of the region if they’d kept it together, but I’m thrilled to see Silsbee stick it to the Yates AAUs

Jeez, can we get a time update with the next score update?

If you attend the game tonight you can wear a tinfoil hat instead of a mask to keep you safe...

HJ will not have as many possessions. They're going to hold the ball and slow things waaaaaay down against HJ. I don't necessarily think China Spring is any better or worse than Silsbee, but their style is much better suited to keep the score reasonable against HJ.

They're 21-6, so they're obviously a good team. in 18 of those wins they've scored less than 55 points. It's obvious what kind of style they play. They're not going to try and run with HJ. When they break the press they're going to set up in the half court and eat the clock and try and wait until they get their shot. I'd expect them to do this even more against a high powered offense like HJ. Their best defense will be eating the clock.

You posted this while I was typing my post.

China spring has had a solid season. 20-6, and 5 of those 6 losses are to great teams. That said, they average about 45 points a game. They’ve cracked 50 four times all year and 60 once. I don’t see HJ getting close to 100 in this game, but 70-80 seems likely, and 50 should be more than enough.

Me as well. They’ve had some great seasons with disappointing ends.

UH won 43-41. My buddy’s niece plays for them.

It can’t be a good feeling seeing the hawks coming up your side of the bracket after they beat the #15 team in the state by 63.

53-20

It’s good now

Is anyone able to listen to the game on the link?

Hawks up 11-2 early.

The link still isn’t working for me

It says it’s off air or not broadcasting yet

Anyone else not getting the feed yet?

I’ll take JY by 22. 89-67. Pulling for the tigers

HJ just beat a better team than Silsbee has played so far in the playoffs by 62. Silsbee has beaten a 6-10 team by 1 and a 17-12 team by 6 in the playoffs, and don’t seem to be playing their best basketball right now. HJ posted a 71-point first round win against bridge city, who silsbee beat by 21 and 29 this season. I always get excited to see an HJ/Silsbee matchup in any sport, but it’s hard not to expect a 40-50 point win for the hawks coming. I would actually love for it to be a tougher game for HJ, who haven’t been “tested” since they beat state ranked lumberton by 48 late December, and a solid 5A barbers hill by 27 in early January.

Anyone capable of giving them a game before state? Burnet is 21-2, but have a ton of close games against mediocre teams on their schedule. Lumberton is state ranked and 21-3 but HJ beat them by 48 already. La Grange looks okay. Silsbee is 16-4, and has a win vs lumberton, but beat 6-10 Livingston by 1 the other night. on paper El Campo was one of the 3-4 best teams in the region, and HJ called off the dogs or could’ve beaten them by 80.

Starters sat the whole fourth and were in and out quite a bit in the 3rd

80-29 after 3.

El Campo is 18-4 this year. This HJ team is too good.

Some folks don’t like the truth. But if the shoe fits (usually several large shoes, from all across the city), though...

Pretty awful collapse there. Congrats to BC
