Hardin Jefferson vs Jack Yates

[BADSANTA]

Hardin Jefferson 79

Jack Yates 102

[SportsJunkie32]

Yates needs to limit their turn overs and work on the press. Coach needs to continue to play the entire bench. Don’t mind the easy baskets we give up to the opponents, just keep it a track meet. The Lions need to continue their current average of 98ppg.

I was looking at Yates district and Kashmere was 2-20 and Worthing was 3-22. Wheatly was 10-15. I know this means nothing but they had some real bad teams in that district. Silsbee could have beat NF by 50 if they pressed at all. Scarborough seems decent with some pretty good athletes. I don't think Yates has been tested at all this season. KIPP academy is a private school with a focus on academic.

No dog in the fight but Uhhh hea we go ...ummmmh sir did u look at silsbee’s district , and while u at that check out the common opponents for both teams...ya reaching bra ... both teams are pretty much even ..I give yates the slight advantage because of their height and depth

And maybe sig didn’t press north forest because they saw how yates presses them and figured that not pressing would be more effective, and I’m pretty sure last year wise seen how effective silsbee was guarding -#10 for NF and implemented this year  in his strategy vs NF

BADSANTA let’s be real both districts had pitiful teams but what district doesn’t.  Bridge City, Orangefield & Hampshire Fannett was just as BAD as Kashmere, Washington & Worthing. KIPP was only a fundraiser game at the school. Both sides of the playoff bracket (4A Region 3) is kindly weak this year, I believe a 4th Place Team is Still playing in the lower half of the bracket (Hillsboro) while the top bracket has all division winners in the Quarterfinals. Yates is focused on HJ then the winner of Navasota - LIberty Hill. 

Silsbee good luck and we hope to see y’all in Huntsville Saturday

Can’t say anything about height that’s not a variable.  We have a couple at 6’4 or so and that’s the extent of our height.  Yates may go 12 deep, but  they haven’t played the level of competition we have this year as a whole or that they have in past years.  When we have played this year we have gone as many as 12 maybe 14 in the rotation from the start of the game.  In those games with tough opponents it has ranged from 8 or 9 to maybe 10 or 11.  The fact is that in a game like between these 2 both benches may shrink.  A lot will depend on the foul situation as well as how tight 5he game is.

Exactly on3 game at a time, for both teams.

[BADSANTA]

Not one bot. Hope Silsbee and Yates both make it to Saturday and Silsbee wins by 8 to advance back to state and win there too

Hey guys let’s stop disrespecting Hardin-Jefferson, this discussion should be about  Yates vs HJ. I’m looking for a competitive game out of HJ,? I can’t say I now much about them or there style of play. I believe the last time both schools played Yates won a close game so I would think HJ might have a little pay back in mind. Yates press should not be anything HJ has not seen this year. 

I can’t speak about there athleticism, height or bench.

This game won’t be close. No disrespect to HJ but they don’t have the team to compete with Yates.

whats a reasonable score prediction? i like HJ to keep it close for 3 quarters and then fall by 18 or less

[aTmfan06]

I’d say Yates by 28.

Is anyone broadcasting the game tonight?

I’ll be pleased if HJ keeps it within 20.  I won’t be surprised if they lose by 30-35.

If they’d done the reasonable thing and played at Barbers Hill I could at least give live updates.  I doubt anyone will drive all the way to SHSU to broadcast this game.

I think there is a pathway for HJ to make this game more competitive than the prevailing wisdom indicates. A 10 point game perhaps.

It can be done.  Argyle did it to Silsbee last year in San Antonio.  Turned it into a half court game, and a slow half court game at that.  There's a bunch of ways to do it and Argyle knows all of them.  The final score was 46 to 45 and Argyle got the last shot.  Silsbee won that game by about an inch and a half.  That's how far off Argyles buzzer shot missed.

Personally I love transition, improvisational basketball.  But still and all, I'd rather lose a boring game by 10 than lose an entertaining game by 38.  And if given that choice in advance, knowing the outcome, I'd pick the 10 point loss.

Argyle also had been playing that style all year long and didn’t just switch it up for one game. As well as Argyle was one of the top teams in the state .

I learned a long time ago not to gamble on high school basketball. I haven't seen Yates this year so I won't venture to predict a score. I know HJ will show up and play hard and I'll be there supporting them. Go Hawks !!
