*HF 35 Silsbee 14 Final/Comments*

[Guest airitout123]

pretty funny how no one that was talking blowouts by silsbee get on here and admit they are eating the words that spat out.  looks like it was a pretty good whippin but from the team no one expected. people better start respecting this hf team or you'll end up like silsbee did tonight.

Let me apologize for picking Silsbee to win the game (sarcasm).  However, my picking Silsbee does not necesarilly mean I was showing disrespect to HF.  I have always had respect for both HF and Orangefield. 

After seeing Silsbee the last two weeks, I thought they were running the offense so well that they would not necessarily stop HF, but would just score more points. Obviously HF has the better team.  Good luck the rest of the way.

So sorry your feelings were hurt... ;D

HF did exactly what they needed to do to win.  Ball control.  You can't win when the opponent constantly has 2nd and 3.  Special teams was the difference.  The only complaint I have was the ending.  When under a minute,your opponent has no timeouts, you have a 1st, up by 2 scores, but you insist on sticking it in for another.  Some people probably don't care and in the end it didn't matter in the game, but that kind of stuff can come back on you later down the road.  Congrats HF.

You never know if it comes down to a tie breaker that last touchdown might be important.

I heard this same opinion from another true maroon Silsbee supporter.  Somehow, it doesn't bother me.  I'm loosing by 2 touchdowns with EP's and another 7 is tacked on as the result of a play that I looked foolish on?  So what?  I'm not going to win  the game and it just doesn't matter.  I should have contained that fake punt and taken over the ball near mid-field and then tried to post another score.

Well, here's he or she known as KvilleBalla telling everyone how to accept defeat which is something that he or she is really good at.  H-F beat the "Dickens" out of Silsbee Friday night - no way around that.  A lot of people had different opinions before the game - mostly it's in fun.  But, once you have won the game, try 

to act like you have been there before.  Handle your win with as much class as you might have handled your loss.  The Longhorns looked like a "Playoff Team" on Friday night.  Let's see if their fans like "horndawg", and "Wise Owl", and "hampshirefan" can

exhibit as much class on this forum as their Longhorn Team did on the field.

Just face it dude yall got beat. One of the Silsbee fans overlooked hf and was bragging about WO-S whooping Kirbyville and Silsbee getting them next. I see 2nd and 3rd spot up for grabs.

[STiger85]

True Tigersvoice. I did not see any Silsbee fans on here dogging OF or BC after the game when we beat them. Before the game predictions is one thing, in fun and all. But there is always some that just are not accustom to winning. Go Figure.

[bkatdog]

BowWow , that one really hurt!  Playoff picture is really starting to blur.

[Guest car ramrod]

Silsbee was not the only young team on the field Friday night.  Most of H-F's defense is juniors or sophmores, and the skilled positions on offense are juniors and sophmores too. 

I will go ahead and say that the sophmore qb for Silsbee is going to be good.  He is one heck of an athlete.

[Hupernikomen]

You never know if it comes down to a tie breaker that last touchdown might be important.

Lot of districts have 21 point max spread for tiebreakers.  Don't know if that is the case with 21-AAA or not, but more than likely that touchdown was about tiebreaker than anything else.

[WOS92]

If they can score on you, they should. Stop them.

No feelings hurt here, just look at the score

Unbelieveable statement coming from a team that put up 55 on a team the week before? Can you say Hypocrite?????? Besides with the way this district is shaping up it could definitely come down to point differential. I sure it nothing to do with running the score up, it may mean the difference between HF getting in the playoffs or not!! I honestly thought the fake punt call that set-up the last TD took guts!!! Don't turn the HF win into something classless because you can't be any further from the truth.

[KFDM COOP]

HF didn't run up the score!! Congrats to Coach M and company on the win.

[STiger85]

Yes, you do what you can to make the playoffs. HF did just that. When Silsbees TD got called back on a questionable block in the back call the wind left our tent a little. We did not respond like we needed to. It still goes on and get ready for next week.

[HFlonghorn1992]

I think people are just trying to find something to whine about when they say it was "unclassy" the way we won. I the H-F/Silsbee game was a result of H-F coming in with something to prove and they did it. Congrats to everyone on the team and Coach Mangan.

17 points is the max

As I said congrats to HF, they deserved the win and played hard.  Not going to take anything away from them and hope they continue to do well.  As far as your hypocrite statement, get your facts straight....Silsbee's 3rd string qb was even running tds in on the young BC squad.  You can't really kneel with 4-5 minutes left that scored definitely could have been worse.. 

[HORNSFAN86]

Your exactly right, we just wanted to make sure we had the maximum amount of points allowed in case

it does comes down to a tie. I do not think our coach was trying to disrespect Silsbee. He is a good coach that

wants to make sure he does everything in his power to get our team into the playoffs.

[HORNSFAN86]

Great Game Horns, play with that same intensity the rest of the season and we will be tuff to beat.

I will say this of Silsbee, their offense is scary and dangerous. HF was ahead by 14 pts and I was

still thinking that was not going to be enough. Silsbee is very good team with alot of speed at the skill

positions and a very big & good "O" Line. Goodluck to the Tigers I think they still have very good shot

at the playoffs.

well lets see i guess we should start respecting HF  ???

uuuhhhh no they got a good team this year but this year is not over anybody can still make the playoffs and lets check HF track record in the past well it looks the same in the future also Silsbee is a young team and they will only get better dont come on here thinkin that just cause you beat a young team like Silsbee you are the best team out there. you have a good team team probably good enough to go to the playoffs but to attend the first game that is it.

P.S. this comming from someone that said Silsbee would lose if they made to many mistakes

That was a bold prediction ST4life!! Any team making too many mistakes will lose. But I believe the turnovers were even so what was your definition of TOO many mistakes. I saw the game Friday and HF was a better all round team last friday young or old. Will they be this Friday, only time will tell. That is why they play the game. Track record in the past was losing to Silsbee so I guess that track record has changed????? No one has made the playoffs yet but all teams coming out of district 21-AAA will play at least 2 weeks into the playoffs. Good luck to the HF Horns the rest of the way. Beat Jasper!!!!

Touche' my fellow HF fan, good rebuttal.

What a great rebuttal.  LOL.  Can someone explain what the rebuttal was?

LOL, you must be an "air head" if you don't know what the rebuttal was.

[Guest airitout123]

Well genious as I once heard that even a blind squirral finds an acorn every once in a while. Well...HF beat Silsbee.  We can't beat you every year.  However, the track record can be that you don't lose to us every year, just every 9 out of 10.  That is a track record I would not be proud of.

Go ahead, give me your uneducated rebuttal.
