bmrm Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 I am upset that my Hawks lost to Silsbee tonight but does anyone agree with me that this is the best rivalry in high school basketball in this area?
mactiger Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 It is a three ring circus at times, but DEFINITELY the best rivalry I have ever seen! Love the atmosphere and the intensity, but don't know how much more I can take!

Baller 93 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 With it being such a great rivalry and people flooding the place from both schools , I think it would be awesome if this game was played at the Montagne. Think about, instead of turning people away an hour before the game, u can probably sell out the Montagne. Imagine 10,000 strong watching that game and imagine the money both schools can make. Besides it's not really home court advantage when it's split down the middle with both fans. All I'm saying is just show the state how BIG this rivalry really is!
2-2-1 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 definitely a solid rivalry, no doubt. another one to look at though that goes WAY back is the big sandy v goodrich rivalry. unbelievable games between two traditionally rich basketball schools year in and year out.

I kinda like the idea but like was said tonight it would take some of the fun out of it. Wouldn't be near as loud in such a bigger place.

But I really doubt that the H-J coaching staff and AD will give up their home court on the second round game. Then, any playoff is usually played on a neutral court.
Honest Abe Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 The same discussion is going on over on the football forum regarding moving the Ned/PNG football game to Beaumont as well. Most people don't want it bc of the tradition of playing at each other's stadiums. The game usually draws around 10-15k each year, but I'm guessing 20k may attend if played on a neutral field on a Saturday. It was so bad this year that a (non-football) head coach from Nederland was unable to get into the game until after half time (game was at The Reservation).
BADSANTA Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Silsbee gym was sold out before 530. This means there were people who were on campus right after school let out. How many people does HJ gym hold. Silsbee holds 1500 which isn't a lot at all.

HJ's gym capacity is 1050.
BADSANTA Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 Fans better sleep outside HJ gym the night before like Black Friday!
Baller 93 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 It don't have to be the Montagne. It can be at ford park, heck kountze and hj played there. Plus with both gyms not holding at least 2,000 and their being at least 3,000 people that care bout attending this game. Cause what if a parent doesn't get in, r they suppose to leave work early?

BLUEDOVE3 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Must be a really big rivalry to cost whatever coach you are referring to his position. ;)

Sorry - pitiful 3A HJ & Silsbee are the talk of the town and the only legitimate threats to make it to Austin.

Is it o to meet a fan at mid court after a game bumping shoulders and using obscenities in front of kids? Is it ok to get into it in the stands with a parent in a non Central basketball event? Would this NOT warrant a firing in Big Sandy, Catman?
