HJ Vs Silsbee/HJ KEEPS ROLLIN’

The amount of talent on that HJ team is unreal.  Obviously having one of the top couple of players in any classification in Texas is a huge part of it, but I think they’ll have a very good shot at returning to state the next couple of years as well with what they’ll have after she graduates.

Absolutely.  Team is loaded.

  • Bobcat1 changed the title to HJ Vs Silsbee/HJ KEEPS ROLLIN’

Really it's privilege to get to face a team like this.  Most teams get eliminated by teams that themselves will get eliminated.  The young Tigers had a wonderful opportunity to see what it's like at this level.  Playing a team this good in this setting at the Montagne in the third round is a great experience.  Frankly the Montagne is a much better basketball venue than the Alamodome.  There's not a bad seat in the house.  The Alamodome is a terrible venue.  The state championship should be played in a venue designed for and dedicated too basketball.

There were two tacks the Tigers could take have taken tonight.  They could shorten the game and keep all scoring down or play at their normal pace which is up tempo and score as much as they could.  Obviously Silsbee choose the latter.  The 63 points the Tigers scored tonight is the second highest point total this season against HJ.  Only Atascocita, a 6A team, scored more than the Tigers with 66 points.  And there's a fair chance that that nobody else in the remaining 4 games, even Argyle, will score 63.  And that ain't bad.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
