[quote name="AHUDDLESTON" post="751763" timestamp="1264818005"] West Hardin 56 High Island 34 [/quote]Is this a final

Great job Pirates!! It was a real good game for the first half, the two teams kept trading baskets and the lead for the first quarter and a half and then spurger took a 5 point lead at the half. Second half coach Isaacs had his boys refocused and it showed they never looked back. Whittaker- a big night with 29 pts 9 rbs 5 bks Blankenship-15pts 4rbs 5ast McGallion-7pts 5rbs nice night passing the ball 10 ast 2sts Rawls- 6 pts 7rbs 2ast 2sts Norsworthy- 5pts 7 rbs 1bks( this young man came up big to night, might not show on the stats but he done this while George,shain,daniel,all on the bench in the first half in foul trouble) Odom-4rbs 2sts Hutto- 4rbs 4sts McLoud-1pt Bussell-didnt score, played good def when he was in.

Congrats tigers. Sounds like it was a good game right down to the end.

I think they(evadale) stayed with the press a little to long last year. In same token and to be fair to evadale coach, its hard to give up on something you have your game planed around.

[/quote] No, the team fortunate to be in a pretty weak district will be the 3rd place team from that district, not Woodville.  Woodville would be a playoff team in probably any 2-A district in the state.  This doesn't guarantee anything come playoff time, but Woodville will be in the playoffs and it has nothing to do with a "weak" district.  Now, as for the "they want absolutely no part of Kountze" comment- outside of New Waverly in this region, who really does??? Not exactly a revealing statement there... Good Luck the rest of the way to all playoff hopefuls. [/quote] lol Woodville does have a weak district... But yea I think they would beat EC or Anahuac... [/quote]I agree, I have watch woodville a couple of times this year and I do think they would beat or it would be real close with both of these teams, Kountze and N W would be a different story.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="751344" timestamp="1264777007"] It's a BIG GAME Friday night around the area!! Here are some key matchups in some of our area districts: 21-5A (3-1) North Shore @ (3-1) West Brook  battle of the two second place teams 20-4A (5-3) Central @ (4-4) LCM  two teams still jockeying for a playoff position, LCM won game 1 (4-4) PNG @ (6-2) Nederland  PNG needs a win to keep in the playoff mix 21-3A (4-0) HJ @ (4-0) Silsbee  two top 6 state ranked teams, nuff said (1-3) Orangefield @ (2-2) WOS  Bobcats need this win, WOS can solidify third for now with a win 23-2A (5-2) East Chambers @ (5-1) Anahuac with a win, EC can pull even with Anahuac for that coveted 2nd spot 25-A (4-0) Evadale @ (4-0) Spurger   1st place on the line between these two undefeated teams Any comments on any of these games? [/quote]I would have liked to seen the Silsbee and Hj game my self but I will be at Spurger and Evadale game. Both IMO is going to be good close games. AAW if you can get your hands on the tape after the game maybe we can trade films.LOL EC vs Anahuac =winner most likely to end up in the 2nd spot at the end of district Orangefield needs to win more than any team on here I think, will be hard to go 4-1 the second half. Silsbee wins,because of the bigs in the middle(will be close right down to the end) Spurger wins a close one do to the guard play and the match up on the in side. The 4a match ups I think is a toss up the way they all have played this season. I would like to see WB win but I dont know if they have enough to get pass N. S.  

[quote name="oilerman21" post="750753" timestamp="1264650533"] As yal might remember last year when the Oilers traveled to HI they lost by over 20 and WH even had Copeland.. When WH went to HI this year WH lost by 3. I think that this is gonna go WH's way the whole game. what do yal think?? PREDICTIONS???? [/quote]I think WH has the better players if they would just show it on the court. They come out with a better effort they should win but if they play like they dont wont to be there like they did tuesday then cards win another close one.

Nothing against WH team or the WH fans they where great but you have a small minded fellow running the clock that takes upon his self to end the game as quickly as he can. He started running the clock on out of bounds, and FT about mid way of the 2nd and the whole 2nd half. Never seen such crap in a varsity game. Seen it a few times in JR high but never in a District Varsity game. The teams might have played 3 full quarters,maybe [/quote]Well the guy that is running the clock is strictly a football coach. I dont think he wants to be there.. To him if its not basketball then its not right.. [/quote]I think you ment football then its not right and thats fine, put at the door taking money or give him a stop watch and let him time the boys running up and down the court,just get him off the clock. ;D

Shain Rawls and Jarom Odom will be big in this game. To much attention will be on Whittaker and Blakenship so McGallion will find the open guys. Spurger by 10

North Shore PAM Ozen LCM Vidor Nederland CE King Lufkin Hudson BC Silsbee WOS Kirbyville San Augstine Woodville Anahuac Deweyville KTZ Spurger H I SP

Wow I knew i took a hit after I seen some of tues scores ;D

[quote name="1880" post="750267" timestamp="1264602144"] Anyone know the score from the Spurger/West Hardin game? [/quote]I dont know the score but Spurger lost by 6 or 8 The big girl #34 I think for WH had a big game against Spurger, she was the differance

is it true he had only 15 attemps and made 12 INCREDIBLE :o :o What a great performance!!

[quote name="Rebel Yeller" post="750251" timestamp="1264600470"] They must have a curfew in WH when Evadale was there a couple of weeks ago we played both JV games with running clocks the entire game. They just don't like being out late on a school night, I guess. [/quote]Its all good, I just hated it for the younger guys because Whittaker,Blankenship, and Mcgallion wasnt playing a whole lot after about 3 min in to the 2nd quarter. Just got home last night and had to vent ;D

Ok guys lets hear it, whatcha think ;D

Silsbee by 6 I think the size on the inside will be a little to much in the end for HJ

Congrats rebs Now it a count down to the showdown ;D it sounds like its gona be a good one

[quote name="whsalum" post="749542" timestamp="1264471805"] I think he meant AAW and he was picking the spread not the winner.There is a huge difference,it can be awful hard to beat some clubs by 25. [/quote]And when its on there home turf. ;) I had a hard time picking Spurger because of the spread but I would have been disowned. (peer presure) :D
