Don’t want to start anything, just wondering if the kid that walked off in Dayton played tonight?

Sounds like may have been addition by subtraction…

Hmm, I don’t know man. That kid was crazy athletic and there was time when everyone else was in foul trouble that he was their only offense that night in Dayton. I was shocked when he walked off the court. I get where your coming from based on chemistry but I find it hard to be better collectively when your less athletic as a team.

You may be right.  Honestly that was just a guess.  Sometimes attitudes can be more devastating than what the talent brings.  But it was just a guess. I was hoping with hi, walking off that OF caught a break (even though Huffman was pretty mediocre this year).  Apparently not.  HF is not short on talent even without that kid.

Great game. Orangefield is always a tough team to play and showed a lot of grit tonight. HF played solid team ball and kept their composure everytime Orangefield made a run. Now on to round two vs Booker T 

[Localfan1]

You are thinking about #2. He kept them in the game versus Huffman. #4, who quit the team, did not play much versus them.

Really going to miss watching P. Wrinkle play. He played with such energy on both ends of the floor. His game really developed over the past couple of years. Hopefully the bobcats can have a good offseason and make some noise in 3A next year.

No, I’m pretty sure I’m remembering correctly. #2 was very good and near the end he was certainly carrying the team. But right before that kid walked off after the timeout was called, he had some good plays. I remember him pretty well, he was an athletic kid. Very quick. I remember the person beside me pointing out how quick he was earlier in the game.

What does OF have returning?

Basically everyone but Wrinkle, but that will be some big shoes to fill.

Should be a competitive district with Orangefield dropping down to 3A with Kountze, East Chambers, and Buna

For sure.  I don’t know if it is possible to more competitive than this year but next season should have 4 really good playoff teams regardless.
