ST413

Hopefully these two losses will refocus this team on playing as a team and doing the little things that lead to wins.

I heard one of those that fouled out didn't start tonight.

Silence is golden....,.

Did Kountze try to get HJ to play a warmup game after Yates [s]chickened[/s] backed out?

Kountze is refusing to host a double header.  HJ and Coldspring are currently looking for another place to play. [/quote] How about Silsbee?!!  ;D Doesn't surprise me at all that Kountze said no. ;) [/quote] Kountze hater^^^ [/quote] If you knew what I knew about the situation you would understand. [/quote] hmmm that sucks would have liked to see both games!!

I guess I may have to be there.

I am assuming this is the same one who played some on the summer league team...

Way to go Tigers!!

Thats a big change from Yates!!

Does Kountze have a replacement warm-up game in the works??

Central has won district two years straight, so they have DESERVED the respect, IMO. They are the real deal, and [b]should be the measuring stick for SETX[/b]. They should be the favorite to make it to regionals. What happens there is up in the air; anything can happen. As young as they are, failing to reach state would not be considered a failure, IMO. However, many of their fans EXPECT them to win state this year. IF they do, great, but I don't see how people EXPECT a state title from them. Some people believe anything less than a state championship is a failure. I am not one of them, but everyone has a right to their opinion. Most of these kids will not earn a living in basketball, and that's a simple fact. As long as the kids give it their all, who cares what the naysayers think?! ;) [/quote] One question. Why should they be the measuring stick for SETX just based on these last two seasons? [/quote]They are clearly the beat team in the area this year, and they bring 95% of their team back next yr. For at least the next two seasons, they will likely be the best team in SETX, so they will make for a good measuring stick, IMO. [/quote] With the results of several games this year by the better teams in the area,  I am not sure there is a clear best team in the area...too many A beat B, B beat C, A beat C or bad losses at times all of these teams.

Sealy better have found a lot to go with Seal-jones,  because they sure didn't have it last year...

Hj up 63-47 with about 3 minutes to go

Visitors side far from filling up

I sure hate to see that Coah T had problems but am glad t see he is back....

Hmmm would that game depend on one team losing tomorrow night?  And would still like the other one friday ;D

Or as that third game at EC

Yeah Friday night at ford arena would be a great time!

Did Coldspring lose some players?  They seem to have been struggling lately.

[/quote]Hurry, Hurry!!!! Zeek needs the smelly salt so he can wake up. [/quote] Oh I am awake.  Wide awake.  Problem is I have to be at work in 6 and half hours!!!! [/quote] I think HJ has a pretty good nucleus returning next year,  where the Tigers will have pretty much a new varsity.  But our JV was missing its top player tonight as well.

[/quote] Haha....you are right.... all of those 15 point spreads. Great job Hawks, keep fighting...they were behind 10 after the first 20 after the second, and 20 after the third. I will give Silsbee credit, they have a great team and can pressure the ball as good as anyone. They are not unbeatable though, great game by both teams...I think I read in an earlier post someone bitching about the refs.... I think both games were called extremely equal.[b] As far as the big lead, the hawks have to not play as aggressive as the tigers. They are simply not as deep. So foul trouble is a huge worry, that is why you see the big runs toward the end of the game....the hawks turned up the pressure.[/b] Holmes and Elam were outstanding as usual, just too much tonight for my Hawks. Good luck to both teams during the playoffs... [/quote] Good point Poppa.  The Tigers contributed with a few poor decisions in that quarter as well,  a missed dunk or two that should have been easy baskets adding to the lead early in the quarter as well as having the wrong person handling the ball too long.  These two teams have seen each other enough that after Bosha hit his first three of the quarter,  the players should have known not to leave him open for those other two that followed shortly thereafter.  A great job by Mays for HJ tonight, he did a real good job taking up some of the scoring load with the loss of Johnson and a good job on the boards.  One thing I hate to see from my Tigers is when then get tough like they did in the fourth and a bad pass or two are made or a call or two doesn't go our way,  you see a little bickering amongst themselves.  We to have a team leader step in at that time an calm the situation down.  Forget about what just happened play your defense and get the turnover or stop to make up for it.  You definitely have the ability to regain control you just have to stay calm and make the play. Overall for the rivalry this season,  we have had two good games.  The Tigers pretty well dominating for 6 quarters and HJ taking control of the other 2.  Now its time for both teams to focus on the the last district game and the playoffs.

[/quote] There was a little over 2,000 in the first game!!!!  Not 3,000. ::) ::) ::) [/quote] Was it just me or did it seem even less tonight?

40-33 Silsbee 30 secs left

[quote name="bwbiddle" post="1371648" timestamp="1360358541"] Silsbee has like 3 players leaving most of there starters will be back. !!! ..And whit a j.v. that can give H.J. a good game right now.. ;) [/quote] I would like to know what Silsbee roster you have seen,  there is only a possible two starters coming back next year.  Out of 12 current varsity players I believe it is 8 or 9 seniors.

Virtually everyone has played more than that. [/quote] Tournament games do not count against that number. Just non district and district games. [/quote] So we could not have filled that open date the first round of district or played a warm up game if Center hadn't cancelled the game early in the  season....
