They don’t have a Harris, and although they hit 5 or 6 threes tonight on us I don’t think they’re a great shooting team. I’d say Silsbee by 20ish

Honestly depending on the shooting for either team it could be closer than that IMO… but I agree they don’t have a Harris and that’s a big factor 

I think the AAW line would be around 10-12.  Harris would be the best player in the game.  Miller second.  But the next 3 or 4 would be Hitchcock guys imo.

3 maybe?  Smith, Wrinkle and Rucker?

Thanks for the replies to my question guys, I was just curious.  Hitchcock probably headed for a showdown with Kountze in the regional finals.  Any opinions on that matchup?

Yes, will be much deeper next year, but Wrinkle will be a huge loss

I don’t see the zone pressure doing much to these guards. And if it’s a half court game, it won’t be close

Hitchcock by 10-20.  I predict a lot of dunks if Kountze stays in that diamond too long. If Kountze shoots the lights out, and rebounds better than expected, could have a puncher’s chance.  They should match up better than OF regardless.

Exactly.  The problem with living by press is when you play teams with size and elite (relative term) guards.  Hitchcock’s basket may look like Holland with all those windmills…

Agree! 
Does Franklin have a chance against Hitchcock?

I don’t think so….

I would doubt it.  I haven’t seen them with my own eyes but they got 20 pieced by Mexia a couple of weeks ago.

Nope they lost to Lorena 45-42.... poor shooting in the first half doomed them. Was down by 15 at half. Cut it to a one point game in the 4th. Missed a 3 for the tie to send it into OT

Sounds like how our dear, departed friend @Hagar loved to describe playing in Cleveland.

I saw him in the game on the live feed from someone’s Facebook.

Not many.  And not sure any of them start.  Maybe 1?

I think Maxpreps may be correct for once. 4?  They have plenty of talent coming back though.

All four of their 6’4” and 6’5” guys are coming back
