AggiesAreWe Posted February 21, 2023 Report Posted February 21, 2023 Lumberton vs. Hardin-Jefferson at Hardin-Jefferson HS, Sour Lake 7pm (winner faces Palestine/Chapel Hill winner) Quote
bullets13 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Tied at 11 after one. Lumberton dictated the pace for most of the first quarter, but HJ was able to speed it up a little at the end Quote
bullets13 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Hawks have been able to speed it up in the second. Up 29-20 with 2:00 to go in the half. Lumberton has drawn three charges, but has also given up several easy baskets because they’re going down pretty easy at the first hint of contact. Quote
bullets13 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 HJ on a 9-0 run to open the 4th. 61-34 Quote
bullets13 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 Lumberton had a decent game plan coming in, but once HJ got a decent lead they just didn’t have the players to run with them Quote

Knox34 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 I’ll bite 😂. I just enjoy watching a playoff game when the number 15 team in state gets to play at home. whsalum 1 Quote

Should be the standard. 4th place teams in 6-7 team districts should just be happy to get a shot and another game. Rental and travel cost reduced for school districts that are limited on funds anyway. Knox34 1 Quote

Knox34 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 I’ll tell you this. If I’m a 4th place team and I have an option of that not happening I’m taking it. If it “should” be a rule … that’s another discussion. But to have the option and not use it to me is foolish. Would it have changed outcome. Probably not. But it surely couldn’t hurt to have a neutral site. Quote
Knox34 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 A playoff game setting and hype and the fun these kids have playing in gyms and traveling and the whole process is something these kids hold onto and remember. To flip a coin and not give those seniors and players a good opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere and experience is not something I personally wouldn’t do. Quote

It's only 20 miles from Lumberton HS to Hardin-Jefferson HS. I don't have a problem with a coach doing what he thinks is the best thing for his team to win. Coach Mitchell obviously thought his best chance of winning was being able to play at home so he took the chance. I have always believed that a district champion should be rewarded with hosting a 1st round game. Quote
Knox34 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Posted February 22, 2023 I like his thought and balls on the situation. But to have to win 2 coin flips to get it seems pretty unrealistic. Wasn’t it 2 flips? Quote

Win that flip and then the 2nd flip determines which school hosts the game. Quote
