If Silsbee and Yates face off it should get ugly.  I haven't seen yates, but Huffman and HJ played 3 games dang near evenly, and HJ did really well to ONLY lose by 30-something the other night to Silsbee.  North Forest beat yates by almost 20 once, and lost a fairly close game to them the second time.  Silsbee could've beaten north forest by 50 last night had coach sig chosen to.  Here's hoping that matchup happens. 

I stayed and watched the Yates-Huffman game and there is a lot to what you say.  On paper the comparison is apt because Yates was playing just as hard as they possibly could to beat Huffman.  Couple that with the fact that North Forest is not a bad team.  They won 17 of their last 19 games.  The two loses were to Yates by 11 and to Bellaire (who was upset by Cinco Ranch incidentally) and one of the wins was over Yates by 19.  But again, that's all on paper.

I'll tell you one thing.  From a certain perspective, as a Tiger fan, I'm kind of glad Yates pulled it out.  Huffman was starting to get that ominous "team of destiny" look about them.  You know, when all of a sudden a group of young men suddenly find themselves and discover that they are a lot better than they thought they were?  Then fate takes the wheel.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • 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.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
