[quote name="LAZEEK" post="971275" timestamp="1298520409"] Stafford made it to the State Semis each of the last two years.  They are 19-13, but that means nothing.  They went 10-0 in district and means they likely played a pretty difficult non-district schedule that I know included Cleveland, LaMarque, Rosenburg Terry (twice) and a few others. HJ will have their hands full come Friday night!!! [/quote] HJ better not look @ their record & come to play Friday night!!! 

[quote name="hjlonghorn" post="971266" timestamp="1298519793"] 19-13 Record. 55 Points a game. 10 assists a game. 24 rebounds a game. Only 2 kids that average in double digits. Lost to Cleveland by 8. [/quote] With Cleveland being proposed as a state finalist & Stafford only losing to them by single digits, then HJ has their hands full.  Hopefully the Hawks are able to figure out Stafford & pull out a win.   

[quote name="PoppaBearstarr" post="971258" timestamp="1298519320"] I think they won their district and If memory serves me correctly they made it to the state playoffs in 2009 [/quote] So then HJ should have their hands full huh Rob?

Not basketball.. Cleveland over HJ, if that match-up even happens [/quote] Dogs- Go ahead and tell the real reason I use "[b]mopping the floor[/b]".  Who was the author of that term on this board in recent times? [/quote] Simuliar to that "take it to the bank" remark. ;) ;D [/quote] Sorry AAW I have to call foul on the word "Simuliar".  Please tell me it was a typo - I have people in my office who use the term "simular" which isn't right but never "simuliar". 

Can someone please provide a little background on Stafford?  I spent a couple of elementary school years there but now I'm an old codger and have no idea what they have as far as a basketball program.  If memory serves, Sugar Land Willowridge was the big dog in the area & dominated the sports scene.  Man it sucks to get old & forgetful!!! ;D ;D ;D

[quote name="Bobcat05" post="968782" timestamp="1298129716"] I thought this was about CLEVLAND'S warmup game, not who is going to win out of them and HJ.  [/quote] It was but we turned it into an HJ thread as soon as possible!!! ;D ;D ;D

They get the usual bye and will be one and done.. Somethings never change. [/quote] Brace yourself people.. :D What have I told yall about "expecting" history to repeat itself? [/quote] History is not expected, it is made. [/quote] True statement Nash ;) So what kind of history will be made here? [/quote] If you are referring to HJ- Cleveland, I believe there is a game or two to be concerned with prior to that even being a possibility. [/quote] Yes - HJ's focus squarely needs to be on Huffman at this point! 

[quote name="FanintheStands" post="968628" timestamp="1298087467"] I am stunned.  Those girls were rock-solid.   ??? [/quote] Just goes to show, you can't take any team lightly in the playoffs.  I hope the HJ boys aren't looking past Huffman. 

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="967115" timestamp="1297873655"] HF player throws an elbow into HJ players back on a blockout situation....HF scores and as HJ player is running down the floor you see HF player (who is way ahead of said HJ player) circle all the way back around and run back down the floor (in the wrong direction) and go meet HJ player right in front of half court and HJ player is not even looking....he turns at the last second and sees the kid running at him and puts his forearm in the kids chest ....then they tech HJ player.....and HJ player gets chest to chest with HF player and HF player does not back away and they call the second tech on HJ player........... Nice job of officiating!!! ::) ::) ::) Always getting the retaliator instead of the instigator!!!!! [/quote] Shawn is not going to backdown but it's good that HJ was able to pull out the win.  Go Hawks!!! 

[quote name="hfmom08" post="965546" timestamp="1297568685"] Dove - in all seriousness, once your boys have graduated, does HF have a horse in the district 21-3A race?  [/quote] bmrm - not answering for Dove just giving you my two cents - It's not all about Dove's boys.  As I see it when any season starts (no matter what the sport) every team has a horse in the race BUT it's about how you raise, feed, care for, train and ride that horse that determines where you finish in the race....been there done that too (I'm a COWGIRL too - maybe why I LOVE LONGHORNS)  ;D [/quote] So HFMOM please give me a correct assumption of HF's future.  I am in no way trying to criticize or downplay the program, just trying to get an accurate assumption since I'm not familiar with the younger divisions. 

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="965217" timestamp="1297525983"] Because of all the various social media outlets, "armchair quarterbacks" such as myself have been afforded the opportunity to openly express our thoughts about our favorite teams and coaches. Sometimes good  and other times not so good. I didn't start this thread with the intent to directly step on any toes. Hamshire Fannett ISD provides the kids with an excellent academic environment first and foremost; thats a given. But this is a basketball forum and I will stick to the topic of basketball. The best thing that could have happened this season IMHO is that HF was put on notice that parents are expecting excellence in their program and more accountability. Too much "little Johnny" in any basketball program will hurt you. I fully expect about four JV players to challenge several current varsity players for spots next year. You can't win when you have players WALKING on down the court on defense after they made a mistake. Unbelievable!! How can you sit a kid on the bench for approx: two quarters and he ends up being your leading scorer for the game. It is so mind boggling to me to see the things I see on the court. [color=blue]And the ball said: "Don't be afraid of greatness. Greatness will not hurt you. Greatness will not embarrass [/color][color=goldenrod]you. Greatness will not trick you. Greatness will not deceive you. Greatness will not harm you. Greatness will simply reward you for clearing your path to greatness." [/color] [/quote] Dove - in all seriousness, once your boys have graduated, does HF have a horse in the district 21-3A race?

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="959710" timestamp="1296663388"] Don't expect a huge fall off next season either. Those juniors and sophomores play heavy minutes and are ready to step up. [/quote] I don't either but I like HJ's chances next year.  The seniors to be for HJ will be the same group that went undefeated as freshman in district and will now have Bosha, Carr & presumably Mitchell as well. 

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="959616" timestamp="1296657906"] Even though they may not win district, I see this team going deep into the playoffs. I don't think Cleveland could hang with them. [/quote] That is my wish for a long playoff run but as previously stated I am tired of having to play Cleveland to advance to regionals.
