Even though I had read about it, I had forgotten that OF had a new coach. What is the former Coach doing now?

No I said we looked smoother tonight. Things just flowed a little better. Now a big part of that could be that Devon had a much better game tonight. As far as trying to compare our 2 games this week it's hard. We didn't press near as hard Tuesday as we did tonight which is probably because of the two guards HJ has both could sprint down the court on the dribble fast enough that we wouldn't stop them at time until they were on their end of the court. OF has no one that can do that. We also had Braylon playing with that first group tonight putting us with two very good passers on that unit. As far as saying we played better tonight not sure just a crisper look to me. In reality we could have probably widened that margin on either opponent this week some if we had really wanted too but let's get some of these guys who haven't played that much some time at different points and get this team really going.

Michael should be back Tuesday.

Well if you want to compare scores.......you lost by 13 HJ has played them twice so far and both games were less than a 2 point difference. Now since you picked this point differential comparison I will take Vidor who you have lost to twice and HJ beat by 22.......

Not a lot to say about in this one. Clear mismatch but I liked the Tigers energy and effort in this one. We looked smoother than we did Tuesday against HJ to me. Maybe that was because of the difference in the opponents. We got a little sloppy in the second half once it got to a real big lead but the intensity only picked up in that half.

75-35 about a minute left in third.

Tigers turning up the d this half. Lead 63-31 3:49 left in third.

Right I know that but without a freshman team it also leaves the option of starting the jv at 5:30 or even 6 and still having the varsity start at 7 or 7:30.

They all are going to. I like getting home early but don't like such an early start. Get off work and come straight here and less than a minute left in the jv game.

I have been told both ways, players will be out and that at least 3 won't. Was told that the football trip was Willie and Calvin and that they are leaving after the game. Michael I saw had a trip today.

I agree with what bullets has said as well, except for a minor thing. We didn't really move up to 4A, they just changed the 3A label to 4A. Those houston schools have dropped their numbers to our classification.

Barnes is a junior, he will be around another year.

Was told last night these two are leaving after the game and that Devon only has a bruise and may play.

Will be good to mix some of those othe players ina bit more.

I figured that was it.

Oh I agree just a little surprised it fell all at the same time.

Ok two I am not surprised about, a little surprised by the football thing though.

I still say:

Oh why is that?

I am sure for the next 10 or 11 games you will see lots of playing time for everyone.

Yes Devon came out early in the fourth because his knee I believe was bothering him. As far as scoring, he isn't necessarily going to score a lot. He can or will when needed but he is mainly going to get everyone involved. I for one have been looking for him to get his outside shot going but do realize that the bulk of his scoring is going to be getting to the basket and he will do tha when needed. Right now we are playing well in spurts but winning more on talent. When this team gets it all together it will be really exciting.

R they primed and ready for the district opener Friday?

I have to say and this isn't a knock towards HJ, that was to me a disappointing game from the Tigers. Hj was definitely outmatched. The Tigers just haven't quite gelled yet. We will need to get a little more focused and play a little better getting ready for the playoffs. Was good to see everyone get playing time and will be good to get some ready for when we need them.

Gym was pretty packed!

Haha might as well play it up since this will likely be the only meeting this year between the 2 rivals. By the way expect the Tigers to be without Michael McCain tonight due to his ejection Saturday.
