All HJ has to do is defeat Cleveland and you'll hear LAZEEK on the mic at the regional tourney, that's a promise.

that is a taaaaallll order

[bullets13]

how about HJ 21-26 from the freethrow line when it mattered most!!!  that's great for any team, especially one who's had some games shooting below 40% from the stripe.  if they'd had one of their 10-26 nights, they probably would've lost this game!

[STiger85]

Congrats HJ, nice win four in a row. NICE. Now on to Cleveland, if yall can beat Kountze and Silsbee........well. Good luck Monday.

[/quote]I'm not familiar with Shawn Prudhomme......Has he been starting all year?

[sleepy]

I am pretty sure he is the lanky sophomore who has been one of the first two off the bench during the season.  About 6'2" and a real quick jumper.

[bullets13]

yup, i believe he usually comes off the bench.

[/quote]He doesn't start.  Blake Venable (senior), starts at Forward.  Shawn comes in off the bench.

The other guys are right.  He's number 10, tall lanky 6'2" and has been, shall we say, interesting to watch.  You can tell the kid is going to be very good!  He does make a few sophomore mistakes, but he's improved as the year has progressed.  He can be a beast on the press when he's up front with Jacoby (otherwise known as "Jacolby").  Quick hands.

With Shawn, Gus, Sutherland, and Will Anderson returning next year, it looks like HJ will have another of their infamous "rebulding" years!!!  ;)

plus some serious size down low to replace ricossa with pershon and that beast off of the freshman team!

[ST413]

No offense to the HJ seniors but going into next season I have expectations of a better team than I didf before this year. A lot of talent returning and moving up. I know all the seniors will be missed espwecially Turner and Ricossa. The question I have for Hawk fans is who will be the speedy sparkplug such as Turner, Burrel, Bernard or Donahoe. I don't see Prudhomme as that fast.

i'm going to disagree, simply because of the fact that i don't know that they'll have that sparkplug you mentioned.  but, you never know who's going to step up from year to year.

[ST413]

Don't get me wrong this team has become real good my expectations weren't high enough before the season. Some of the talent I have seen this year returning next year has me with higher expectations than I had after last year. Heck I wan't expecting another split withmy Tigers and they got it.

[PoppaBearstarr]

You never know...I think there will be several step up. They always do.

[ST413]

Oh I think ya'll will have plenty to step up. I just haven't seen who will be that speedy defensive guy like Turner or the others flying all over the court. Lots of quick players just haven't figtured out the fast one.

[/quote]I wasn't aware that you had to have "the fast one" to excel.

This year's team is missing that player that can carry the team scoring-wise game in and game out - Donohoe, Benard, etc.  Every game seems to produce a different offensive star.  Next year, you'll see more of the same. 

[ST413]

No you don't have to have one to excel HJ just seems to always have one.

[Guest speechless]

there pg #5 has been the fastest kid on the floor every time I have seen them play

[ST413]

Gus is pretty fast but you must have seen them when Turner was hurt or something.

[Guest speechless]

talked to a buddy of mine that coaches football at hj

he told me that guftason is much faster than turner on the field and court

[ST413]

I will take it from a coach but as a fan that one is tough to believe Turner is everywhere. He is the spark plug for the Hawks most of the time.

[/quote]Gus may be quicker, but Turner has long arms that make him doubly tough.  Great instincts, too.

[hj_hawk_60]

Straight away running i think Jacoby is the faster one, but Gus has crazy stop-and-go speed, amazing agility and acceleration

[PoppaBearstarr]

Gus is freakin awesome...stop on a dime and 0-60 in 1.3 seconds...and he is coming back next year... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
