Great Tournament Field @ HJ

[Rebel Yeller]

I just looked at the pools for the HJ Marathon Tournament and all I can say is WOW! Whichever team comes out of this one as the winner will have to be considered to do well this season.

Evadale has a stout pool with Dayton (4A) Cayuga (last years 1A Division 1 state champions), Hardin-Jefferson (3A) and the Rebels. The team will have to play through a difficult couple of days, but like playing Kountze for the Evadale Tournament championship, you can only get better playing and competiting against good competition.

Looking forward to seeing how the Rebel progress in this early part of the season. Good luck Rebels!

The other pools are just about as stacked as the Rebels so like I said the it you leave HJ with any hardward then you'll have a great accomplishment on your hands.

See you at the gym!

Has Crockett, or will Crockett encounter the wrath of the Gestapo this year?

I must say again the quality of teams in the HJ tournament is outstanding. I grew up in Fort Worth and during the holidays the FWISD and the Optimist Club put on a great tournament that I believe still goes on today. Evan back in the mid 70's they were getting teams for LA and NY to come and play as well as having the great Dunbar teams coached Robert Hughes and of course Dallas South Oak Cliff was a regular. So seeing the kinds of teams that are coming to HJ is a real treat for basketball fans.

Good luck to all the teams that will be participating!

Is it safe to assume that you're on TexasHoops with this 'Gestapo' stuff?

[/quote] That is deffidently going to be a weak spot for the Lions. They shot a tremendous % from the 3 point line the other night, but if they happen to be off on any night, a team with a strong inside game will be hard for them to handle. They are fast and shoot the 3 very well but they are weak on the boards with very little inside game.
