With a minute left in the first half HJ was winning; if it wasn't for a technical (that got Bush going after a slow two quarters from his standards) this is a 2-3 point ball game at half going either way. The third quarter HJ hit a few threes and didn't get killed on the glass (which has been the big advantage Silsbee has held over HJ this year). Then in the fourth quarter HJ had 5 of the worst possessions in a row I think that group of players have had all season that gave Silsbee the roadmap for getting back into the game. 

HJ is going to look back at few moments in this game that absolutely killed them, but the free throw line and the glass being the two biggest things. By no means did I think the refs were one-sided or even bad, but Bush shoots 20 free throws which is more than the entire HJ team that is strange to me at best. 

I think the experience that Bush and Martin have playing in big moments in big games was the biggest decider though because in the 4th quarter and overtime they didn't shoot themselves in the foot; quite like HJ did. Either way it was a great game, and I'm not counting this HJ team out of any game last year they had Yates on the ropes and just couldn't finish it off. Hopefully for the sake of 4a its a different outcome this time around.

Yes rebounding was a big part in the series this year.  In each game the winning team out rebounded the other by 8 or 9.  A big part of that last night was that defense down low by Williams and Martin.  As far as the number of fts Braelon shot 2 of those were the Tech and a large number were late in the game, where you know he is going to have the ball the majority of the time.  I didn’t see too many calls last night that I thought were bad or even questionable.  I did think the 2 jump balls there back to back in I think the 3rd quarter were kind of fast as well as that 5 second call on HJ, it was close but seemed kinda quick.  This year took us back a few years to the meat of the rivalry.   It has been fun.

I firmly believe that these two teams play 10 games it finishes 5-5. I think they are as evenly matched as you can get. One difference, Bush!

Bush has scored 121 points in the 3 games vs. HJ this season. Martin scored 49 in the 3. That's 170 of Silsbee's 210 total points in those games. 81%

Bush going 20/20 at FT line was what won the game.

 

The officiating crew was East Tex. chapter. I thought they did a very good job. I know 2 of those guys and have seen the other one a few times. It was definitely one of their best crews.

He big was that Tech from HJ? 

[ST413]

Yes the two wins Martin had big nights. And 20/20 well that just speaks for itself.

[Who That]

What alot of folks don't know is Bush was sick last night but still played... That wasn't going to stop him from playing the hackerlers. Sick and still got 41 and 20 for 20 😁

[Tigers94]

That tech on HJ doesn't seem like a big deal with how the 3rd quarter played out for the Hawks.

Missing free throws when the game was tight mattered more. One of their players (think is was Sears) missed two big free throws with a little under a minute and a half left.

[BADSANTA]

I dont think I've ever seen a kid period go 20 for 20 on free throws.

Great game last night. Both teams will walk through their first round opponents. This district has been absolutely bonkers this year.

Who does HF play 1st round?

Not sure but can't wate to see how they do..

[no-look]

Listened to the game last night. Thought AAW did a great job in detail. One could vision the plays.  Looking at the stats Silsbee had 7 more rebounds than HJ but it seemed like more. Not many offensive rebounds for HJ.  HJ is young and will be fine. Future looks bright... Bush just played on a higher level than anyone on the floor. That’s what great players do...these kind of games is what high school basketball is about.

The officiating last night was as good as I’ve seen this year. They called the game consistently which is all either club could ask for. The difference in the number of FT’s attempted was the result of HJ missing the front end of some bonuses. These types of games are won and lost at the line. Even though I support the Hawks this was a fun game to watch.

HJ played great basketball in the 3rd quarter but the technical foul was huge. Up until that point Bush had actually struggled from the the field. He stepped up and hit 4 FT’s and a 3 pointer on the gained possession. I believe they actually stole the ball on the next possession and hit a 3. A 10 point swing in a game like this is tough to overcome.

Baytown community college 8:00 I believe there will be another game before 

[Boneyard Boys]

Still DC uh huh. Hard to stop Silsbee, they found a way with an assist from HF.

Just about anybody, but not Yates.  

Nobody in 4A can play with Yates. Yates could win the 5A championship and would have a good shot of winning Region 3 in 6A.  

It’s time that these conglomeration schools to be forced to play at the 5A level.  And if they want to keep the school small?  Fine, keep it small.  But you’re not going to be permitted to ruin 4A and below.  

There’s zero chance of an upset.  If any team in this Region beats Yates it would make the 1980 Miracle On Ice look like an easily predicted outcome.

Ned and Memorial flipped a coin.  Apparently Godzilla doesn’t reside in Region 3 5A.  If he did there wouldn’t have been any coin flipping.

Every post season game is played to extend your season but this one has a weird kind of vibe.

No shot at all.  They wouldn't beat United..  running a team like that would be the worst thing to ever do.  It would be a stretch for Yates to beat Summer Creek, Dickinson, or Morton Ranch.

Actually this was a seeding game. Silsbee and HJ are Co-Champs of 22-4A .

These players originally transfer in for band and decided to give basketball a try also?
