Not as bad as I thought it would have been.  Did Kirbyville close that gap a little at the end.  OF beat them by 23 not pressing.  Would have thought HJ would have been more.

[blackjack007]

Kirbyville rebounded and made some layups against HJ.  They actually played with a little intensity at times.  That is something they did not do against Orangefield or that game would have been a lot closer.  Kirbyville has a chance to upset some people in this district if they play like this in more of their games.  They have the athletes to do it but right now they lack the fundamentals and they make too many mental mistakes like not blocking out and making dumb passes.

Coach called the press off in the second half.

Give them guys a break they trying their best to do what they can with what they have

[setxslam]

They are athletic, seem like good kids.  One fairly tall kid hit several semi-contested 3s and had a nice stroke.  I think they have some talent to work with.  If they can eliminate about half their turnovers, Kirbyville could compete with, maybe even upset, anyone in the district.

Note to Kirbyville administration: That's a beautiful gym.  Please double the lighting-- it's really dark in there.

Very well said!! These athletes deserve our respect.

kirbyville could be alot better but the only concern with their athletic program is football. They have football coaches that coach some basketball not any real basketball coaches. Kirbyville has also only played 7 games because they made it deep in the playoffs where as other schools in the district have played 15+ with the exception of WOS and maybe Jasper

note to Kirbyville fans

yall have a good team when we went and played their yall had maybe 45 fans to watch the varsity maybe if yall had some support behind these boys that would light a fire under them get them pumped up and get them rolling

i do believe in the forum rules it states that there will be no bashing of the athletes.  way to not single anybody out.  give the kids some credit.  they played a great team, and won't be the last team to lose to HJ by a lot in district play.
