Everyone keeps overlooking HJ and Huffman. 

I don't think anyone overlooking them, they just not going to be title contenders or deep playoff teams. They will finish in the top 3 of their district like always but that's not saying much considering the district race will be solely between 3 teams. Drop HJ or Huffman in the district with Silsbee, Lumberton, WOS, LCM, and BC then the talk is totally different then from years before. Neither team is a sure win over any of the top 4A teams in the area, competitive of course, but not one sure win like past years.

If you drop HJ or Huffman in the district with Silsbee, Lumberton, WOS, LCM and BC they would be in a dogfight with the Tigers for the top spot. I’ll definitely be checking out the HJ vs Silsbee game this year in Silsbee. Depending on the playoff brackets both of these clubs could easily be in the regional tournament. I still have HJ as the favorite in that district. They’ll have to win an important game on the road to win it outright but that’s a definite possibility.

I watched Harris play when he was in 4th grade….I knew then that kid was gonna be a baller.

[no-look]

Watched Huffman play in a playoff game last year. As a whole they were very disciplined with size. Harvey was the stud but not all they had. I think Harvey was the only starter they graduated?

Those kids have bought in to the program and won’t beat themselves. They’ll be more than respectable.

HJ doesn't have the talent this year. They will be a solid team and have a winning record but no way they are a regional team unless they snuck someone in. They have Sears, that's it as far as elite talent. The other guys are good solid players who will play well around Sears. But they currently don't have the offensive fire power of pass teams at all.  As far them versus Silsbee, that game will not be as competitive as you think my friend lol. I don't know what Huffman has besides Solieu, but unless they have another Jacob Harvey type player they will be in the same position HJ is in. A solid team, but not enough fire power. HF, Silsbee, and WOS are the only 4A teams that return the majority of their stud players. Each team has at least three 15pt plus a game scorers on them. For 4A that's hard to defend. Remember HF only loses were close games to Nederland and Magnolia before they got hit with injuries. They went on a 5 game losing streak after Denson and the freshmen shooter went down.  Denson was averaging 17pts 11rebs and the shooter was averaging 11pts. They won't have that problem this year.  WOS will be the surprise team this year and shake things up in 4A

We don’t have long to wait and find out. I keep hearing every year HF will win district and their best player was on the JV and they consistently finish 3rd. I watched the Longhorns on quite a few occasions last year both the varsity and JV and they aren’t going to be bad. I don’t see them winning the district. Huffman will miss Harvey’s unselfish play but they have lots of pieces returning. HJ returns Sears, White, Brown , Davis and a couple of kids who are pretty solid on the block. Throw in a few kids who went 22-1 on a JV club and you get a solid club. I can’t wait for the season to start.

Both of those players played in the 25 point playoff loss to Silsbee.

Just saying

Denson played 9 mins of that whole game because of foul trouble and score 10pts and the other kid didn't play, was still recovering from a knee injury. HF bigs got into foul trouble early, both had 2 fouls each in the first quarter. Just bad luck honestly. The entire offense was on Dorsey who dropped 22pts, no one else really stepped up to take up the slack of Denson being on the bench. Will be a different team this year with more fire power adding a few pieces and guys being healthy.

Sears is the only valid threat on that team offensivey. Brown is a solid PG but not anything comparable to the PG from last year who was the real leader of that team. Unless he drastically fixed his game over the past month or so from the last time I saw him play this summer, then he will be ineffective in competitive games. Davis Jr can't guard his lunch in Sunday school, but he can shoot at a high clip if left open. All others are just solid role players. They will be a good team, but not district champs. They will be 3rd behind HF and Huffman. HF will win it barring injuries.

You put way to much value on summer league games. I’ll take a team full of role players any day of the week. Teams that are used to winning get that mentality. HJ and Huffman have been the cream of the crop in this district for years and they won’t relinquish that title easily. I’m ready to see them tip it off.

Lol talent determines that not mentality 🤣. Huffman was literally the only traditional basketball school in this district before they added HJ. HF is in year 3 of building a basketball program and hired another bonafide basketball coach. They will be tough to beat because of dept, talent, and experience none of which Huffman or HJ have this year. Of course they will be playoff programs simply because there is only 3 basketball teams that are going to be competing for the district barring injuries from either team.

In those 3 years how many district championships has HF won ? I think Huffman graduated one player albeit a good one. HJ has a ton of returning talent and will be the deepest team in the district. Huffman and HJ have had a bonafide basketball coach for years. We probably just need to agree to disagree.

My son n law went to and grew up in Timpson.  I'll run this by him, see what he thinks.
