Indians4life Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 I think some don’t realize how good Huffman is they are 92-9 the last 3 years and Harvey is a flat out stud. exsoftballplayer and FAWF2021 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimThorpe Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Silsbee is playing well right now, clearly above their "unranked" status. The Tigers played better than Huffman last night. Connolly, ranked 22, is at least a little better team than unranked Carthage. Witness Connally's 17 pt. win over 14th ranked Austin LBJ. Silsbee had a rough first half but went in with a lead and controlled the game in the second half comfortably enough empty the bench at the 2 min mark. On the other hand Huffman went in trailing by 1. They fought back into the lead in the 3rd but it was never comfortable and at the 2 min mark the game was still in question. The thing that gives me pause is Huffman's 34 point blowout of Lumberton, doubling the Raiders score. There were no third round blowouts quite like that, even among the top 5 against unranked opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers94 Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 A fancy record over the years doesn't mean anything if you got nothing to show for it. At the very least a few region appearances would be expected if you're that good. I heard somewhere this was Huffman's first time past round 3. Some teams have those records cause they hardly ever challenge themselves. Look at how Hamshire Fannett handled them and their fancy record last year. It's no wonder they didn't want that other kid to play for Fannett this season. Not saying Silsbee is gonna win. I didn't expect Silsbee to be playing past playoff game number 2. This is still a young team rebuilding. Everything has just been icing on the cake these past few games. TxHoops and Silsbeealum14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumberton played worse game all year, it’s sports and it happens all the time, sometimes shots don’t fall and Huffman played well. I mean BC beat HJ sometimes you are going to have bad games, I think this is a game that will come down to the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lot of Lumberton fans don’t realize (I am sure the coach does) the guy who guarded McClure, Luke Thomas, was still in football the first time they played Huffman. When a team struggles give credit to Huffman’s defense. I am sure it was a combination of both, but don’t be a homer and say it was just an off night.

Anyone care to fill us in? two players had the ball tied up as the buzzer sounded, and it got a little out of hand, at which time a good portion of the Huffman student section ran full court and into the melee. It was all broken up pretty quickly. But one HJ player (the best HJ player) ended up suspended by his coach, which no doubt cost them their 1st round playoff game (not that they should've lost anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans (high school students) were on the complete opposite end of the gym when the incident happened at the end of the game. I was at the game, watched a video filmed from HJ's side, and you are incorrect. Yeah? the only problem with your account is that the video is still available online, and about 30-40 kids from HH's student section run the length of the court and get in the middle of the incident.

Kountzer Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 I saw Huffman play Yates in Kingwood. AAW was there. I saw Sigler. Jim Hicks was there. I think Yates had eliminated Silsbee a couple of days after that. That was Adams & McCain's Sr year. Bre Bush was a Junior. Huffman had this kid with an almost perfect jumper. Nice form, quick release. He was shooting lights out. He kept HH in the game, for the first half. I am sure that was Harvey. Yates had the real JY press & trap defense working. Silsbee had their big three & they couldn't do nothing with it. Huffman could not either. Yates had big, athletic players like Ruben Jones and others whose names I can't recall. At halftime it was a fairly close game. In the second half Huffman wasn't that accurate with their outside shots. Yate's press had worn them down. JY went on and cruised to a win. They had a short guy who hit some nice 3s as well. I sat with some Huffman students. Nice young men. I told them I was originally from Silsbee and we sat there and talked 4A, SE Texas basketball during the whole game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with all of these accounts is they are based on other people's accounts. I was there and have no bias to either of the schools. I was right in front of where it all "went down". The HJ kid was already frustrated and when the ball got tied up and the Huffman kid would not give it up, the HJ kid slung him into the wall and started a melee of punches at him. The Huffman kid was completely thrown off and was trying to get him off. Yes the Huffman fans ran onto the court and most definitely shouldn't have. That being said they did not engage anyone and were quickly separated from the situation. The Huffman and HJ players both quickly got there as well and did a pretty good job of separating the kids and themselves from the other team. Other than the HJ kid throwing punches and the coaches shouting back and forth at each other there wasn't much action in all of it. The HJ kid in my opinion should have been suspended. Frustration is no excuse for how he handled that. 2wedge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what happened, then so be it, give him the suspension. anyway, back to silsbee and huffman. I hope Silsbee gives them the boot. 5GallonBucket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADSANTA Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Who cares about HJ/HH. This is Silsbee vs HH. Does Silsbee try to speed up this game?

The kids ran on the floor because they won and most likely didn’t even see the punches. bullets said it was Huffman spectators fault HJ kid was suspended . It’s frustrating 4 games later and people are bringing it up so that’s why I said something. SETX community not liking Huffman gets frustrating when those kids have done absolutely nothing except play basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers94 Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 One good point for Silsbee is we have a solid 10 kids that can really go. You can't just shut down one or two players and that be good enough. That's a far cry from the team a year ago. Kinda wish Bush got to play with this bunch for his senior year, but that's a meaningless wish. BADSANTA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Since Huffman is in “our area” as is Silsbee, I’m excited simply by that. I don’t know how long it’s been since two SETX teams fought it out for Regional, but I’d guess it doesn’t happen often. There will be contrasting styles, Silsbee using speed and HH being methodical, which sometimes frustrate opponents. I still say it’s going to be a whale of a ballgame. Those that have seen both teams play have a better read on the victor, but most of them have a little bias, lol. Any more than a six point difference at the end will surprise me. exsoftballplayer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw everone run that direction but really only saw the teams and others trying to seperate the action, not much other activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to hamshire, coach in Huffman, half my family is from HJ, and my wife is from Silsbee. So I am very familiar with the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
