sports fan 929 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 I would be embarrassed if I was clevelands coach you had all that talent and couldn't even take them past the third round coach southerland has beat you with less talent then you, cleveland needs to think bout getting anothet coach cause he aint very good at all

Although the two best players on the floor last night were Prudhomme and Gustafson from HJ. Cleveland had no answer for Prudhomme as he sliced and diced all night long. Gus, who only scored 4 points (4 FT in the final 2 minutes) in the game but was so much more than scoring. He had several steals and likely had more assists last night than he has had in a while.

Only a chosen few can master it.

After the total reserves of $200 has been withdrawn, those that couldnt get $ get pretty mad.
sports fan 929 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Yes prudhomme was the best player on the court last night no question bout it but to have that good of talent the past few years and not take them pass the third round there is no exuses for it

CoachKfan Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 The job Todd, Clay and Jeff do is amazing!! Best coaching staff in the state of Texas (IMO)!! I've seen how hard these guys work. They also have great support from the administration and community. Congratulations to all the guys as well. Shaun has really stepped up and assumed that leadership role. Enough can't be said about the "warrior" Persohn is!!!! Everyone on that team had a huge contribution. They understand their role....one of the many reasons they are headed back to Huntsville for the FIFTH year in a row!!! Way to go Hawks!

stevenash Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Totally agree with your comments, particularly about the "warrior" Persohn. A lot more important to this team than many realize.

You, of all people, would have to admit that HJ has had better talent and not made it to state.

indian15/16 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Wow, as always some accurate takes and some misguided ones as well. First, congrats to HJ. I wish Coach Sutherland and the team all the best at regionals. Like it was stated, it's hard not to pull for those kids. I have to give my thoughts on the game last night. It was a compelling game and for the most part hard fought. These two teams are shadows of one another in many ways, but like in years past, the "management" of the teams was the deciding factor once again. The officiating was suspect at times but it always will be. That is just the human element. You can't be right all the time. Coach Sutherland can take decent talent with dedication and turn them into bonafied basketball players. Pruhomme has been talked up all year on this site and he is pretty good not great. His greatest talent is he just plays harder than most. What I'm trying to say is, he gets the most out of what he's got. The best player on that team is Gus. He makes every teamate better and able perform while he does the dirty work. The rest of the team will feel his absence next season big time. I hate to see this type of ending for the Indian seniors. My heart goes out to them, a large portion of their failures were not their fault. I will leave it at that. We have plenty of talent in waiting, our freshman class is legit. Cleveland will be back and maybe better than ever. Great season Indians! We love you guys. Agian, good luck to the Hawks.

I would say that if you score 33 pts in a playoff game against an athletic and highly ranked team like Cleveland, you are, in fact, great. Countless times, Mr. Prudhomme also got rebounds, put backs, and a rather large rejection against a substantially larger opponent who was hailed as unstoppable and the difference maker. The best thing, IMO is that they seem to often times find a way, when it counts most, to make the unit more effective and I emphasize the word unit. I also think that it is helpful/motivational to them to continually hear that they dont have much ability, are having a "down" year, played a weak schedule/can't compete against the better teams and are going to lose whatever the next game is. All of that commentary makes many lie down and submit while it makes some more determined to prove otherwise.
