New Gyms


Recommended Posts

New facilities are always needed but what about the memories the old gym holds? When we moved into the new one it seemed like we were abandoning the sacred place but theres no way we could go back. (seating,parking etc.) See where HJ will upgrade but will it feel right?

With all the new built in technology it most definitely will feel right.

I did not know Huntington was playing in the HJ tourney.

AAW- You  had better inquire about the Gestapo before making the Huntington trip.  No-look is an insider with this group.

no look,

I am with you.....I don't think things will ever quite be the same.  Too much history in our old gym.  45 years worth.  I got me a piece of the old floor when they took it up though.......a piece of the 3 point line in fact......put a new back on it and framed it.

Our new gym will be really nice.....nothing spectacular BUT.....I would put our entire gym area up against any.  We'll have two new gyms that are competition ready, our own weight facility across the hallway, a "halftime room" for the home team, and everything will be wireless

Thank you. I wish everyone went wireless, would make my job so much easier. Silsbee, West Brook, Ozen and now HJ, things are starting to look up for this broadcaster.

Will there be a broadcast area in this new gym?

I also got a piece of the three point line of the old floor. I keep it on my desk at home. Also scored a seven foot section of the home side bench. put some legs on it from bleachers.....

EC's new gym seems to be comming along on time.  I doubt they get in there this year though.  I think when it is finished it will rival any gym in this area for sure.

I thought it would be ready by basketball season

It is AAW's turn to by the links!!!!!

It will be odd to see the Hawks in a new gym........for about 20 years now I have been going and primarily sitting in the same spot for most of that 20 year span.........anxious to see the new gym and my new seating assignment!!!!!!  More anxious for basketball season to be here though!!!!!!!

    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level. 
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
