schedule wouldn't permit me to make this one! I thought it would have been a lop sided victory with HJ blowing this one open. I guess Tarkington plays much better at home than they do on the road. or did HJ not play well ? anyone know?

HJ missing top scorer.  Held an 18 point lead most of the night.  Tarkington ignited by one player hitting 3 consecutive threes

Playoffs don't start Tuesday. Their last district game is Tuesday against Liberty. The comment about the officials was spot on. I have seen every JV game this year and with the exception of a couple the officiating has been borderline comical. The 2 coaches from Tarkington were pretty darn good. HJ had a comfortable lead last night for just about the entire game with the spread being around 20 points for most of the night. Tarkington hit some late 3's and the Hawks had a little trouble late at the FT line. I think they will be at full strength and healthy going in to the playoffs. On a different note does anyone know how the young man is who got hurt at the end of the JV game? He took a pretty good fall and looked to possibly have a concussion.

My understanding is that he did have a concussion and that a parent came to Tarkington and took him home

I agree the coaches did as well if not better. I've seen "bad calls" in years past, it happens, but it had an air of professionalism. This year it's a whole new level of goofy. In the varsity game an official took his whistle out and explained a non call to a player while he was dribbling a live ball, leaned over to him from a distance, haven't seen that since little dribblers. I don't have a problem with officials talking to players, it was just so odd the way it went down. Two or three times this year I've seen a time-out "awarded" when it wasn't called, just a coach shouting out a play call. This is where somebody says "if you don't like the way they do it put on a uni and do it yourself"....nope, didn't sign up for that, don't get paid for that. It's a paying gig, not volunteer. They can't be perfect but they can be professional, somewhat consistent, and unemotional about it. I think the coaches were those things even though I was a little worried one of them might fall out, I think he was all right afterward though.

Hope the young man that was injured makes a speedy recovery.

Some officiating calls are always subjective and half the people will feel they got it wrong. One that comes to mind is the block/charge. It's the toughest call in basketball. What's not subjective is mechanics and appearance. In years past these were the first two things taught and they were gone over during every evaluation. We have some really good officials in the area but we also have some that need to get in front of the mirror and check out there mechanics.

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
