Currently 5th. They finished with first half of district at 2-4. Wins over Liberty and West Fork. Losses to HF, Huffman, Splendora and Livingston.

That districts standings have been updated from games yesterday.

Wow, when was the last time HJ missed the playoffs?!

Been a long time.

But this season is far from over. Both their losses to Splendora and Livingston were 1 point losses. I can see them getting wins against those two in 2nd half of district.

Really don't expect that to happen this year, unless several players quit or get hurt.  My bold prediction is they end the season in a tie for 3rd with Splendora and win the seeding game.  That said, HJ hasn't had a season like this in probably 20 years.  They were pretty so/so while I was in high school, especially when we were 4A (5A now).

yes, that happened before district started.  and considering that they've lost two 1-point games and only lost by 6 to HF and HH, i think it's fair to say they would be in the mix for a district championship had he stuck around.

Possibly. But not to speak badly on the young man, one could say the team got better. At least that's the view from several I have spoken to.

Removing possibly the most dominant big man in the district off a team isn't going to make them better.  That said, I don't know a thing about the kid or any issues that go along with him, and it may be a tradeoff that many are willing to make.

Let's just say I trust the folks I spoke to and my own eyes.
