no-look

Shooting free throws should be like chunking a rock in the ocean......if your form is right and your mental aspect is right you should hit 70 to  80% on a constant basis.......Pistol Pete said he had a little man with him all the time. He could see the little man shooting and he never missed a shot........

Valentines day......

Congrats to Jasper. The record speaks for it's self.

[quote name="whsalum" post="965474" timestamp="1297560490"] This is becoming a lost art in the high school game.I have watched a ton of games this season and I have never seen so many kids with such poor form.You see them standing with their feet sideways,taking their eye off the rim and even putting a loop in the release.This used to be taught for hours in practice but it seems like it's completely overlooked in todays game.This time of year it's the difference between winning and losing. [/quote]You are right on...

[quote name="j_dog" post="964958" timestamp="1297480133"] The report is that Jasper defeated Diboll at Diboll tonight.  Jasper did it the hard way in the second half of district picking up road wins against Pollok Central, Center, and Diboll. This assures Jasper at worst a tie for second place in the district, and an outside chance at a 3 way tie for first. Dogs, they said you could not do it!  Congratulations on winning all your second half district games!   :) I think this proves that the "scoring table" brouhaha was pure bunkum.  Jasper proved they deserved to win by doing it on the road against some of the district's top teams. [/quote]asper played good ball the second half. They looked a lot better than the first half...

Not to get off topic but are there any updates on the Center player thats sick?

[quote name="True Blue" post="965127" timestamp="1297486975"] :o 40 points man what happen to that 2012 state champion team?? :o [/quote]It's not 2012 yet...... ;)

[quote name="RockNFire" post="965058" timestamp="1297482993"] [quote author=WOSgrad link=topic=80165.msg964788#msg964788 date=1297472454] 18-3A District Game [/quote] Jasper played well, but with all due respect Diboll lost their leading player in all categories on Thursday to a stupid mistake, and he was dismissed from the team. Unfortunately, for Diboll fans it is the difference between the post season, and staying home! Good luck to Jasper, and the other 3A-18 representatives. [/quote]Thats sad.....Huntington lost their starting post and point guard the first of the season from stupid mistakes........Was it Dibolls best guard?

Hudson beat Huntington 62-53. Huntington had a six point lead with four minutes to go......Huntington finished the last three minutes with four players. Three fouled out and one broke his arm(ugly). Very physical game....the Davis kid was unstoppable. He had 36 points and scored fifteen  the last three minutes....

east texas bb, I could tell you how to jab back, but lets not go there...  ;D

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="962283" timestamp="1297089794"] Nope.........someone would cheat!!!! ;D ;D ;D 6 brackets to fill out???  Who has that much time, much less cares about anyone from outside of their own classification!!!! [/quote]And I thought you were a basketball guy........ ;D

Some of you guru's put together a brackett when playoff teams are announced. 1A through 5A...something simular to March maddness. Each correct pick would be worth so many points. You would have six champions instead of one....Lazeek would buy the winner a steak!

[quote name="j_dog" post="962257" timestamp="1297084613"] Didn't Diboll lose their last game?  Maybe they are "better" now than when district started, but the other team must be even better?  And Jasper led Hudson most of the game last week and won by 8 or 9 as I remember.  But true, Jasper will need to win at Diboll. Jasper does not have the lights out shooters of a couple years ago.  May be tough to win in the playoffs if they make it. [/quote]Jasper hit a lot of threes the last game......they are a decent team. Also they did a good job at the clock and scores table. Looked like extra effort was made to get everything right.

Not sure they will get in. They have to beat Diboll at Diboll....

[quote name="meadowlark" post="961977" timestamp="1297010197"] My hats off to Center. It is hard to beat a team you are fairly evenly matched with three times in the same season and especially when the third time is on the opposing team's court.  Got to give Center credit for a very good win. They have excellent team speed, good defense, and only lack a big in the middle to be a very fine team. [/quote]Your right, If Center had a big they would be hard to beat.

[quote name="RockNFire" post="961729" timestamp="1296961280"] Diboll led down to the last few minutes of the 4th quarter. The league really is weaker than past years. Diboll and Jasper will play for the last playoff spot next Friday night, and if it comes down to coaching, Jasper will be in, and Diboll will be sitting home once again. [/quote]Diboll coach does a good job. He prepares well...........I went over and watched this game. Centers pressure defense was the deciding factor.

[quote name="SAWolverine" post="961552" timestamp="1296944304"] This district as a whole is not very good at all.... [/quote]The district is down from the last two years but I wouldn't call it weak. They are decent teams.

I once pulled an autugraphed  Shawn King rookie card out a box of SPX trading cards......He was the hottest thing going at the time. It was bringing 500.00 on ebay......was going to put it on ebay and it came up gone....probally know what happened to it....It's probally not worth a dollar now....

I got into that several years ago. Mostly cards. It was habit forming....

Good news! Best wishes.....

Congrats...impressive!

[quote name="sleepy" post="959707" timestamp="1296663214"] You can call it the best or not but this team is the best team as far as winning a state championship because of their team speed and attacking defense.  I have not seen that agressive of a defense since the 91 hawks. [/quote]Guard play usually tells the tale when you get to Austin....last years team was a little shy in the guard position. Hopefully this year will be Silsbee year(if they make it).

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="959684" timestamp="1296661609"] [quote author=sleepy link=topic=79538.msg959671#msg959671 date=1296660786] [quote author=AggiesAreWe link=topic=79538.msg959669#msg959669 date=1296660682] This is the first time since Silsbee joined HJ in 21-3A that one of the teams swept the district series. Silsbee has been 3A for 7 years now, but only in 21-3A the last 5 years. HJ and Silsbee had always split their district games until this year. If the Tigers can win out, it will be consecutive out right district titles for Silsbee, which is a first for this district. [/quote] Interesting and also fitting. Like I said prior this is Silsbee's best team.  Hard to beat a team in the playoffs this team.  [b]They should win the state championship.[/b] [/quote] I think Lubbock Estacado has something to say about that. ;D I do not know if I agree that this is Silsbee's best team, but it is one of the best. Last year's team was pretty good. This team is a different type team. Better, deeper bench, much more speed and quickness. But we do not have two '6"7 players either. I'll hold my thoughts for later in the season about this being Silsbee's best. ;) [/quote]How many seniors does Silsbee have this year? What will they return next year?

[quote name="Cool-Breeze" post="959266" timestamp="1296614656"] I am done watching high school basketball. TASO has yet to fix the problem so as long as the game continues to be tainted like this, I won't be attending anymore. I hate to blame refs because it sounds cheap. But it was ridiculous. This is not the NBA, it's high school basketball. We're trying to teach kids the right way to play and refs let them get away with too much. The refs were bad on both sides for the most part though, but they blew some key calls. I am done with this basketball forum. This is my last post. Congrats CH on the big win and congrats Mr. Official for ruining the sport for me [/quote]Relax, go to the fridge and get some blue bell....get a good nights sleep and wake refreshed tomorrow........thats what I try to do.... :)
