KK Little had 24 at the half, ended up with 36. Overall girls played well considering they had not played in 10 days. We will need to do a better job of blocking out against Navasota!! Our defense was pretty good tonight. Held LaGrange's leading scorer to 2 points. She had 33 against Stafford on Tuesday. Good Job girls, now take it to the Rattlers!!

From what little I know, they have one girl that can score from anywhere. Don't think she has a whole lot of help though. If we can contain her, we should pull off the victory.

I was hoping they would try to play this game on Saturday since our girls play Friday night!!

HJ takes this one with little problems. 15+

Newton won state in 1998 & 2005. Newton lost in the state final in 2004.

I'll text you Coop!

Final Ranking will be released tomorrow.

There will be big crowds there. I know alot of Orangefield people, including myself, will be there to support 21-3A. Good Luck Silsbee and Hardin Jefferson!! Lets hope for a 21-3A sweep!!

This may sound idiotic, but instead of having an MVP, Off. MVP and Def. MVP, just make these three ladies Co-MVPs and just not name an Off. & Def. MVP. Then just pick a first and second team after that!! Thoughts!!

I'll be there wearing my Orange!! ;D

I meant KB, my bad!

JB is a better ball handler and KK is a better defender! Just my opinion ofcourse.

You know it!!! ;D

I would like to see that also, but not sure if OF will have a warm up game. We have a few girls that are banged up and the rest would be good for them.

Coach Baker is doing a great job at Jasper. They have improved tremendously over the last two years. Look for them to compete for a playoff spot in their new district next year.

Congrats to Central and Coach Fontenot!!

Katelyn Bernsen - Hardin Jefferson 33 points 10 assists vs. Silsbee 20 points vs. Jasper Kaylin Little - Orangefield 24 points vs Hamshire Fannett 41 points vs West Orange-Stark Congrats to both!!

A good case can be made for all three for MVP. It really would not bother me if in fact they were all the MVP.

This was a great atmosphere no doubt. Great crowds on both sides. The key to this game was the second quarter. KK Little came out on fire the first quarter, then missed most of the second with an injury. If she plays the second, the outcome of this game may have been different. OF just had to many turnovers and missed to many easy shots. I'm glad OF has some off time. We have some nagging injuries we need to get over. OF and HJ are two of the best teams in Region 3 no doubt about that. Lets hope we meet up again down the road. Best of luck to OF, HJ and Silsbee in the playoffs. Oh yeah, nice talking with you Jdad.

No. 6 Hawks outlast Orangefield Gabe Pruett The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — The Orangefield Bobcats knew the last three games on the schedule would be tough and Tuesday was certainly that. The Bobcats came close to knocking off the No. 6 Hardin-Jefferson Hawks in Bobcats Gym yet coming close only means more big games down the stretch. The Hawks came away with a 41-39 victory to stay in a first-place tie in District 21-3A with a 11-1 mark and they are 29-4 overall. Orangefield (20-8, 8-4) remains in a third-place tie with Jasper (8-4) who fell to Silsbee, 98-45, on Tuesday. The Bobcats now face the Tigers at home Friday before traveling to face Jasper next Tuesday in a game that could mean the Bobcats’ season. “This district never lets up,†Orangefield Coach Rea Wrinkle said. “ We have to come ready to play the rest of the season. We have already had two close games with Silsbee this season and we expect another. Then we will have to win in Jasper next Friday.†Silsbee and Orangefield have already played two classics this season with the Tigers getting the best in both games. Silsbee first downed Orangefield downed the Bobcats 50-49 in the championship of the Orangefield Tournament and then the Tigers won 48-46 in the first round of the district loop in Tigers Gym. As for as Tuesday’s game with H-J, the Bobcats drew within 40-39 with 10.9 remaining on the clock. Hardin-Jefferson’s Jon Michael Fontenot then made the front-end of a one-and-one before sophomore Zach Hayes grabbed a rebound. After an Orangefield time-out, Hayes was not able to come down with a shot and Jared Helton also missed off a rebound attempt to tie the game as the clock expired. Helton led the Bobcats with 11 points to go with three steals while Tyler Angelle added 10 points. Jeremy Granger finished with seven points and nine rebounds while Hayes was limited to six points and eight boards. The Hawks led 34-28 heading into the fourth and then took a 36-28 lead as Jacob Ricossa opened the frame’s scoring with a jumper. Orangefield then went on a 6-0 run with Hayes score four points in the run as the Bobcats closed to within 36-34. Colby Sundgren then buried a shot for H-J before Angelle busted a three-pointer making it 38-37 Hawks with 3:40 left on the clock. The two teams then did not score again until Jarvis Brown, who finished with 18 points, hit two free throws with 27.9 left on the clock to make it 40-37 Hawks. “The difference in the game was us not containing Jarvis,†Wrinkle said. “He is their best player on the court and mainly in the first half we allowed him to get some easy shots.†Scoring was hard to find in the first half as the Hawks led just 10-5 after the first period. Angelle had all five points for the Bobcats in the first period. Orangefield then outscored Hardin-Jefferson 14-13 in the second as the Hawks led 23-19 at the break. Action then slowed down again in the third. The Hawks outscored the Bobcats 11-9 in the frame. Orangefield was able to close to within 25-23 before Brown drained a three-pointer. Helton then buried a three making it 27-26 Hardin-Jefferson. The Hawks went on a 6-3 to end the third and led 34-28 heading into fourth. “Hardin-Jefferson is a great program,†Wrinkle said. “We played them great for a half at their place so I told the team tonight we had to play a full game. We did that tonight and just came up short. We were down by eight and never backed down. We played with a lot of heart.â€

Don't get your hopes up! Since all they usually show are highlights from one girls game, my bet is it will be Central/Ozen.

I agree, but I think BC is in the same position as OF. There are alot of new homes being built, but I think the people building those homes have younger kids. Not many high school kids moving in. Look for BC and OF to grow alot over the next 10 years.

1 & 2 tomorrow night!!!!
