Looks like I was wrong. Question is could anyone causr them to play at a  faster pace.

I remembered him from seeing them 2 years ago. He has definitely worked hard.  But playing him outside is a product of numbers. If he es in Silsbee at that height he would be playing inside.

Nice and slow!

I think Estacado takes this one.

Maybe so but after sering them this year both numbers and numbers of skilled players play a part. I dont see any of our area teams with enough numbers or skilled players to be able to play a 6'6 player outside.  Especially starting one 6'7 post and a 6'6 player outside with the skills of Santee.

It is numbers of skilled players....a Yates may have 12 skilled players where area schools are usually luck to get 6 or 7.

All these [s]recruits[/s] transfers awaiting eligibility...

And in that same time period half our more of the posts on this thread have absolutely nothing to do with the hj/LaVega game.

I dont know about the 8th gade issue but age is not supposed to be an issuef from other statements. Now the issue seems to be number of years of high school participation. The only statement on the athletic participation sheet pertaining to that states you can bout have enrolled in ninth grade more than fours years prior.

UIL athletic participation sheet states the abovementioned age rule but only states a player may not have enrolled in ninth grade more than four years from year of participation. Nothing limiting number of years eligible. Maybe its there somewhere I haven't found on this phone but not in that sheet

[quote name="docrivers" post="1193168" timestamp="1331051729"] This tournament will be wide open.  No 3a or below team has come within 10 of Estacado all season. Argyle and Estacado have played a relentless schedule.  Should be some fun matchups.  5 players from Estacado were on the state champion team.  3 of them have started since they were sophs and one has been there for the last 3 trips to Austin. [/quote] Sounds like it should be a good tourney. Has any 3a besides Silsbee and hj been within 10 of LaVega?

I dont know how strong Argyle or Estacado are. I dont feel Millerif as strong as the others. Clearly if LaVega goes in and wins easily both of our local teams should have had a great shot. Even if they come up on the losing end by a narrow margin, the same case could be true. My question is if LaVega loses, how do you feel the Tigers chances would have been based on their defense. We know hj had the size to match up with all the teams there, but the Tigers didn't.  We had the defense and speed that gave teams fits. If LaVega comes up short would that have been the enough to let the Tigers make up that difference?

Don't know much about the other teams.  Did see where Estacado beat Miller earlier in the year by about 20.  As far as slowing it down against LaVega,  I think that might play right into their hands.  I have seen three of their games and heard plenty about the fourth and they trailed or were in a seesaw game in all of them and won in the end.  I know one little team ran them to death in the first half and heard that they were huffing and puffing.  Keep it up for four and you beat them.  If they do win,  there will be lots of broken hearts in this area, especially if they win two not so close games.

They will win the district congeniality award!

I didn't get to see the regional final. I did stay got the entire hj/vega game but I guess we left to quick to see the dance. Was it for sure the coach our was it a fan? I did seea rather large man coming back into the stands from the court after that game.

[quote name="ShlyKBMT" post="1192305" timestamp="1330925536"] Unless there is a change of scheduling I think it should be. I say rotate Houston (Toyota Center), Dallas (Amerian Airlines Center) and San Antonio (AT&T Center) [/quote] Good idea.  I would love to see it just stay in Houston,  for distance only.

Amen!!!!

Really haven't seen enough of these two to have a good opinion.  However based upo  what i have seen and even read about in the KP game,  I would rather have Boutte as a coach since Wise must only teach one style.

He was defended to no end.  I can from the 6 or so HJ games I saw this this year, he did quite well in that respect, but I had seen that problem myself on the past. [/quote] I have no doubt about that.  But if you will get real honest here, we tend to see/acknowledge the "problems" that we want to see/acknowledge as opposed to acknowledging all of them. [/quote] Most definately have seen this from both sides of this rivalry.

Nash you are correct about Bosha, he iis in the games I have seen has better our just as good behavior as anyone else on the court. And I have not always come on here and defended actions even of our players.  The first playoff game had an incident that I saw that was a reaction but definitely the wrong reaction.  We dont need those types of actions.  Maybe some of the celebration after the first game went overboard but in that situation how anyone would react.  These trans knoe each other all too well. They have many friends on thr other team.  I know whenever I am competing in those situations we are always giving each other h@ll! As long as it is clean, I see no problem  if it is dirty or hateful that is completely different. As I have said, I have seen some good and some bad out of each team.  I do feel that there has been some bitterness from some on the HJ side ever since the Tigers beat then because they felt that we shouldn't have been able to stay close. This has been a great rivalry its a shame some fans from both sides have to cast such negative shadows over it.

Dont recall any music before halftime of any playoff game. I will say this though it really takes a lot of 'class' for any adult to come on here and repeatedly call a group of kids classless. Sounds like the definition of 'ghettofabulous' to me.

After the first game you had a reaction to a game winning shot. A knee jerk reaction.  In the second game after a shot at the end that put HJ to the win, the player turned mouthing to the Tiger fans. Same type of reaction, no big deal in my opinion. Just kids being kids, heck of I had made either shot, I would have been celebrating and I am definitely far from ghettofabulous!

[quote name="cbosha" post="1192125" timestamp="1330887533"] I am confused. The Silsbee players are always dancing and taunting the opposing teams. You reap what you sow. I can't believe that some people have the gall to complain about the coach from LaVega's antics after the game. Your players' bad sportsmanship is second to none. Some of the players were calling the HJ boys teasing them and asking them how it felt to have to go home. Now I ask the same question, how does it feel to have to go home? [/quote] First of all you are talking about kids, they are talking about a grown man.. Now I will say your son is one of the most well mannered I gave seen but I have seen HJ players running their mouths during games as well as throwing elbows and tripping players.  Most teams have some. As far as calling players, these players must be friends to have each others numbers.  So I am sure, they were giving each othera hard time like most friends who compete do.

Played guard or forwardand he is maybe 6'1.
