BU should win, but I think Kimball will give them a game. That 18-10 record looks bad, but some of those losses were to #3 6A, #4 6A, #1 6A Private, #1 5A, #1 5A, #10 5A, an independent Lewisville school that plays basically an AAU schedule all over the country, an unranked 21-6 6A squad that went 3 rounds deep, etc. There's maybe one bad loss on their resume, and a TON of experience against high quality teams. They've also beaten 5 straight ranked teams to get here, including Lancaster and Amarillo. BU is going to have to show up. I'll take BU by 9, but it could get tight if BU isn't playing well.

I’m hoping so. Argyle is HH but everyone is bigger and taller. Gonna be a tough game for Huffman, but a better matchup that FF would’ve been

Me too, thanks. Argyle has a kid looks about 9 ft tall

Where are you following this one?

Very impressed with how they came back. Wasn’t looking good there for a minute

Harvey showed his quality at the end of the game, and Huffman showed a ton of grit to find a way to win. I didn’t know if it was going to happen with them giving up that 8-0 run to start the 4th.

Harvey with 5 points in 5 seconds.

HH starting to crack. Better regroup quick

Huffman with another good quarter

Good half for Huffman. They’re basically playing a mirror of themselves. Gotta hope they win and argyle wins and they can play another low scoring game in the final

Huffman playing very well. So far they’ve looked the better team by a fair margin.

Good start for HH!

NFHS shows the feed delayed for some reason

What a performance!

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.
