It would be funny if they go further than Silsbee and HJ in the playoffs. 

They have to make it first. Lumberton is in with their win tonight. Only 1 spot up for grabs.

HJ coach choked in the big game tonight 

🙄 were you there?  I won’t get too disrespectful but I honestly doubt there’s a 4A district in the state with better coaches from top to bottom than this one.  There’s more than one that, IMO, would have more hardware if they coached 100 miles or so away than the current coach there because they are capable of making in-game adjustments and altering game plans based on the opponent.   HJ’s coach is one of them.

Does this make for a tie-breaker playoff game between HJ and Silsbee?

I think you’re right.  That game for 4th spot.  Will be a good one.

[Boneyard Boys]

Who would have thought HF would ever beat Silsbee and HJ in the same season. Let alone beat them both in back to back games. Aren’t you glad they are leaving the district? HF and HJ being replaced by Vidor and Orangefield kinda weakens the district don’t you think?

Both are 5-6. Yes,  will be a good one and we have all our players healthy now. Last time we faced lcm we played missing 1 starter. Our big man returned tonight been playing last few without him

LCM travels to HF on Tuesday and the winner of that game is in the playoffs, I believe. 

And let me say for the record that as good of a coach as Rideaux is, he may be a better teacher in my book. He's old school and has kids put phones away and actually use the physical copy of their book. No Google or social media. Just in your face, challenging, confrontational discussions about real world, controversial topics. And he's not afraid to hurt a student's feelings if it will help prepare them better.  I hope HF knows how good of a teacher they gained in addition to a good basketball coach. Not many of those kids will earn a living in basketball. He prepares kids for life. In a world where we need good liberals for good honest debate with us conservatives, Rideaux is a breath of fresh air.

Who will the fourth place winner play first in playoffs?

Great, great post.  All very true.  I’ve seen him engage students on different topics (history in particular) on summer road trips.  Yes, in the summer.  And actually get kids interested in educational topics unrelated to basketball.  He’s really something special who will have an impact on many kids that can last a lifetime.

@BMTSoulja1 you really need to find "that guy" from years ago that predicted that HF State Title, i know as soon as they qualify for the playoffs he will poke his head on here. Im surprised he hasn't logged on recently. 😎

Congrats Horns did not expect this

I said from the beginning that Bush is the best player in SETX... And I believed we would see HJ and Silsbee play 3 times this year. But I never thought about HF being the one to make that possible. HF made it a fun ride this year.

TxHoops no disrespect to the coach at HJ but to have an opportunity to win district and not face Yates in the Area Round of the playoffs and you score only 39 points against an opponent with a losing record in district play. HJ and HF were both coming off Big Wins over Silsbee, so both teams were playing good ball.
 

Where was the half time adjustments or changing the original game plan??? How many points did HJ score in the first half ??? considering they finished with only 39???
