ST413

I have seen the comments against the WB gym and I definitely agree not a place I would want to see a seeding game. But I thought I read that they had redone their gym. It’s still no good??

And if one starter didn’t sit out for the Tigers.......

No it doesnt.

They would have attempted but if they shot like they did in Sour Lake Tuesday they wouldn’t have made any!!!

Tigers have to beat Lumberton first...

HF took it from the Tigers and gave it back. Now we have to take care of business tuesday.

Yes!!!!

So this is for 3rd and 4th right?

Dang they flip for home and home??

It will be the second round or regional finals...

I just remembered seeing that change a year or two ago.

By the schedules above both have played 20 games and 3 tournaments. According to the guidelines on the uil page they are allowed 21 games and 3 tournaments....not that either really want another game.

Exactly and he almost pulled it off....amazing feat for someone his size especially.

Like I said you can play the ifs any way you like... I am not concerned with what HJ did they win the game played great yes if they hit more shots would have won by more etc. we just needed a little help from another source...we normally have Brae shooting the majority of the shots but normally someone else hits a few. Didn’t happen last night and haven’t As much lately.

If they had taken away from his shots I’d the key there. He wasn’t the only one who took shots....so if anyone else would have made 1 of their 3s they shot or any combination of other shots then the game would have at least gone into OT. You can play the if anyway you like. The bottom line is we lost. We needed at least 3 more points to force the issue into OT. I have no problem with Bush’s shots but we needed more productivity from what the others took or he should have just taken every shot...and we all know that’s not a good option.

You are correct but not normally 70%+. Hard to beat good teams depending on one person to score at that rate.

No big secret right now on how to defend my tigers. Have someone or two all over Brae and clog the lane. Force others to hit those outside shots. When we hit them we open the lane back up and more contributors. When we dont we have nights like tonight. Hj played good defense and stopped the penetration. I like seeing the 3 freshman get some good minutes tonight. Always like Harpers defense but liked seeing the 2 big guys playing some as well. Would really like to see HF pull off the win friday and my Tigers take care of business and get that 3rd game not just for the obvious reasons but more so just because these 2 games have been so much fun to watch.

Congratulations hawks on a well deserved win. I thought Bush oops I mean theTigers were going to steal it for a moment. Difference tonight in my eyes was the Hawks 3 pt shooting in the first half and the Tigers having only a one man show no support.

Actually playoff would be next friday as the Tigers still have to win friday and tuesday, to force that possibility.

36-28 Hj at the half not very good service in here tonight.

So you give Silsbee and hj the pick over Connaly??

The middle schools played tonight HJ won the 7th grade game by 10 or 12 points I believe. The 8th grade was Silsbee 25 43 57 74 HJ. 1 12 20 27

Well I don’t know if I would call this even basically the district championship at this point. Both teams have games left against opponents that gave them all they wanted and then some in the first round. But this game sure gives a big advantage to the winner. From what I have seen of my Tigers in a couple games lately and that first HJ game, I would have to give the edga at home to HJ. The Tigers have the ability to go out and win but have to play together and smarter than they have at times recently.

One last point on this game that some don’t seem to realize. I have seen comments about beating them last year by 100 and losing this year. One thing of course is we aren’t the same team with what we lost to graduation. A second is the coaching change at HF and the job he is doing. BUT the big point of this post is that THIS is not the same HF team many of these players moved here this year and are not typical of what you have seen at HF in recent past. They came in with a better skill set.

Really tough to equal the number of athletes on that 2017 team. Just saw a pic of that team and 12 will be or are playing b-ball or basketball at the next level and I believe another had an offer for a small school. 12 or 13 out of 15 players.....
