unfortunate that this game will be in the Semis.  it's the finals everyone deserved.  I hope whoever comes out on top doesn't have a letdown in the finals.

hopefully so.  Argyle is good, but they're young.  HJ has all the experience you can ask for, and has played a brutal schedule.  Always kinda nice to get to state and have already played 7-8 teams bet

it's great coaching and great fundamental basketball.  What makes HJ so unstoppable is their relentless press, and having 4-5 girls on the court at all time that can bring the ball up on the break.  Teams like Argyle and Canyon (and maybe 1-2 more 4A schools statewide) have multiple girls that can handle the pressure and break the press.  When you can break the press consistently you end up with easy baskets consistently.  Both of those teams also have a well-run, slow and methodical offense that will shorten games.  If you let HJ run all game they'll wear you down and win.  If you cut the amount of possessions their all-American gets in half you greatly increase your chance of winning.  

 

so with this analysis........you're telling me that HJ chose to fall back into half court man to start the game and refuses to get into the diamond or 2-2-1 pressure / prevent defense ?  because i'd hope so or else they will lose to this "methodical" program you speak of

Argyle having no issues with the press either, leading to a lot of easy buckets. Not sure I’d press this team in the 2nd, they pass the ball really well.

Hawks down 9-3 early.  Argyle breaking their press without even dribbling, just passing around it.  

PLEASE SOMEBODY ON THIS WEBSITE LISTEN TO ME......................SETX has to learn to NOT PRESS TEAMS THAT handle pressure with ease.  Why can't SETX programs learn that?  WHY, just WHY are we so stubborn that we LIVE and DIE by full court pressure.  FALL BACK INTO HALF COURT MAN. Beat them at their own game.  YOU HAVE A D1 MCDONALDS ALL AMERICAN -----SLOW THE GAME DOWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep.

You don’t beat Argyle by pressing.
You’re not going to create a lot of turnovers, nor are you going to force them into bad shots.

You try and beat them by playing fundamental half court defense and contesting every shot.

Down 8 they're going to have to press some, or Argyle will bleed a minute off the clock every possession.

1000000000000% 

PRESSURE DOES NOT WORK against strong guard play.  And these programs like Canyon and Argyle will DESTROY you if you want to play games

      Waco LaVega is about equal to Hitchcock in speed and size.

      You’re the one talking about Elementary school kids.  What I’m saying is that there are kids who play Jr School ball in GCCISD and then transfer into BHISD/GPISD/LPISD/DPISD between 8th and 9th.  Doing so means no PAPF/eligibility questionnaire and they get to play Freshman/JV, work out with the team, etc. and look homegrown because they transferred before freshman year.  it’s a loophole.  All the big programs do it.  That’s why the UIL rules changes, to close up the 8th-to-9th transfer portal, and it isn’t even taking effect until Aug 1 2025 so you’ll see these transfers this summer. Also, as far as BHISD being closed instead of open, just look at the GCCISD transfer numbers I posted.  GCCISD loses twice as many kids to BHISD per year, the “closed” district, than they do to the open Districts in the area.  Anyone who lives here knows folks who’ve used MeeMaw’s address to get their kids in there.  It is what it is and if it wasn’t, UIL wouldn’t be changing those rules and sending one of their own to the DECs now would they?   Go ask Coach Abseck how many kids in his program are 8th Grade transfers.  We know that at North Shore that number is at least 20% because of the numbers they had to provide UIL during their recruiting investigation.  I’ll bet BHISD’s numbers are AT LEAST that.  Again, THEY ALL DO IT.

      According to Texas Tribune, Gccisd, Laporte and deer park are all rated B. Barbers Hill is an A. GC has a higher 4 year graduation rate than LP or DP. BH is far and away the best district on this side of town. GC has a much higher percentage economically disadvantaged at 71.7% with LP being next closest at 52%. Surprised that GC is performing so well considering. All of the players that would likely make a great football team are out by GCM and Sterling. If GCM had Lee's coach and dropped back down into 5A division 1, they would be able to compete very well against BH and LP. I don't know what their problem is with getting the athletes to gel into an actual team. Lee still beat them both this year and was sort of a down year by Lee's standards. Lot of injuries some kids moved out of district and they are paper thin as it is.
