We will be contacting Coach Brown about scheduling. We want to step up a few of our games as well. Pretty sure we can compete better than St Pius...

Hard to argue against Sutherland. But I’ll take Andrea Boutte. Foster at Big Sandy is another coach I have a lot of respect for.

Congrats HD. Keep it rolling. Another good girls coach there! Great season for Shelbyville! Coaching staff has that program going in the right direction. Big turn around from last year.

Dang. Sorry to see BU go out. Congrats on a great season!

Good season - the future is bright in Center! Got some key players back and a coach that knows how to get the most out of his team!

Midlothian Heritage is #7 They play China Springs tonight and we will play the winner of that game. Robinson was eliminated last night.

I'v been corrected this morning - this was our programs second playoff win ever - the first was in 2005. Last night Junior- Heaven Scott - 18 pts Junior Asia Mitchell - 12 pts Junior Kinley Shumake - 12 pts Sophomore- Shabralyn Watson - 12 pts Shot 19-21 from the free throw line as a team

Wow. That’s terrible.

Proud of these girls. Only the third playoff win ever for Jasper girls and first since 2011

lol - now it makes a lot more sense...

Agree 100% Good luck to all SETX Teams! I have never been asked to rank the teams in our district.

Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then.

TABC pre-season rankings 1, hudson 2. Carthage 3. Huntingtin 4. Jasper 5. Center

Good point. And the game is not what prepares them for the next level anyway. It’s the skill set developed in practice and in the offseason.

That’s why I said with very few exceptions before that.

I ageee 100%. If a team is holding it - go out and guard then. Can go man or a trapping 1/2 court zone.

High School basketball does not need a shot clock. UIL sports are not about entertainment. In HS programs - with very few exceptions you have what you have as far as athletes go. IN college and pros they recruit and trade or sign or whatever to make sure they have athletes to compete with everyone in their conference or league. HS does not have that luxury- If you can't match up with a team that has superior athletes then you have to control tempo to give your kids a chance to win. This is actually much more difficult to do than to get them play fast. Especially against a much quicker team. A shot clock in my opinion would actually make these games much more boring. No reason to ever come out and guard if they can only hold out there for 35 or 45 seconds. So teams would hold it for 40 seconds then take a bad shot against a 2-3 zone every possession. Who wants to watch that? And it' not just about the more athletic team trying to slow down the game - many times the more athletic team holds the ball to force the less athletic team to come out and guard them... Case in point - Andrea Boutte - he has perfected this strategy. I was laughing at people posting on here that went to the west book, united game and were mad when West Brook held the ball.. What did you expect from a Boutte coached team. Back in the day I loved watching PA Lincoln and Ozen get a lead and then spread the court and hold the ball making the other team get out of that zone... It was always fun to watch. By saying we need a shot clock to eliminate this kind of strategy says you would rather see teams win by 40 plus points than see a game come down to a couple of possession... HS does not need a shot clock..

Crazy. Huntington wins and finishes 3rd but loses and out. Wow
