What a guts game by the Tigers…lot of heart displayed in that second half.

B-I-N-G-O

Is it just me or is it crazy one team played 15 more games than the other?

I was just being a 💩

As chalk as chalk can be. Go slay that dragon Tigers!

Imagine how many you’d have been to if you hadn’t waited until your 20s to start going…

The Enterprise continues to do this and that is why, in my opinion, it is the Gold standard (no pun intended). They manage to recognize 5 first team and 5 second team and they cover all classifications. But as I know , it is what it is with these teams. It’s nice for the kids. But with OF, and I’m sure other top teams, all 5 starters either got a superlative or were first or second team. If you include Honorable Mention, top 7 players got recognition. It’s just watered down now, and is just how it’s going to be probably.

Agreed. And teams tend not to shoot it very well against Hitchcock. I wonder why?

My undying respect

As long as he doesn’t choose unknown political up-and-comer named Adam Hitler, I predict he’ll be fine.

Touche’

I could see Boebert coming in handy. Sorry. Sometimes I can’t help myself.

Shaq scored that 38 in the semis vs Hearne my senior year of HS. At that time Cole was 3A (but would be 4A now since 5A was the biggest classification then). Interestingly, the big guy only scored 19 in the championship game, while Clarksville’s big man Tyrone Washington scored 29 on O’Neal (Washington was “only” 6’6”). Of course, Shaq did have 26 rebounds in that game. Clarksville played Cole to the wire that day too. That was also BJ Tyler’s senior year and he led Lincoln to the 4A title. Shaq was also a senior, albeit only 17. He didn’t turn 18 until the end of his freshman season at LSU.

I just thought looking at the schedule that an outsider looking at the SA schedule would think the two teams who will likely lose are the favorites, since FF and Silsbee have the worst records. Just goes to show you for elite teams, playing those tough non-district schedules are crucial. Especially for Silsbee who has a difficult time getting any kind of test in district. Honestly think the two teams FF and Silsbee beat in the regional finals may be the third and fourth best teams in 4A.

Most importantly, as long as they split the last two, they get the first round bye (they hold the tiebreaker over Southeastern, having beaten them twice). And if they catch Nicholls, they also hold the tiebreaker and will give them the 3rd seed. To be honest, I’m not sure I wouldn’t rather have the 3rd and get McNeese in the Semis because the finals will be a crazier atmosphere in LC. And I think we match up just as well, if not better, with them as with Corpus. And I will say in terms of the criticism herein, Lamar is winning close games (3-0 in OT games this year - in my experience coaching is huge in those), due in no small part to end of game adjustments/coaching.

By the way, how many coaches in our coverage area have gone to 4 state tournaments in a row? We praise certain coaches in this area (and not undeservingly) but some of us act like it’s just making substitutions for Green and Sigler. Those guys are both no brainer hall of famers who deserve to be at the top of any list you want to make regarding basketball coaches in this area or the state.

Yeah you will never convince me Central wouldn’t have won it all that year if Toe Toe hadn’t torn his knee up.

I thought you said 7 because I copied you. So if you are claiming it, so am I 😂

This game definitely has levels…

McDermott may be the best player in that classification honestly. But he lost a lot of his supporting cast last season.

Hitchcock 87 Kountze 68

This is my best guess too.

Whoa!

Supposedly the numbers said otherwise. It is doubtful anyone gets 50% though so likely heading to a runoff. You would think Covey would get most of Davis’ supporters’ votes. But will they vote in a runoff? And apparently Phelan is spending about a million a week right now and can he overcome any deficit by outspending if he is indeed trailing?

Apparently according to last reporting, Phelan had spent over $9m and Covey $500k. But the rhetoric I’ve seen is that West Texas is trying to buy this seat supporting Covey. And all these years I thought I was good at math…
