[Lazeek]

In 21-3A action the #5 State Ranked Hardin-Jefferson Hawks travel to Orange County to take on the Orangefield Bobcats.  HJ (32-1, 5-1) is coming in off of a win over district rival #4 Silsbee on Tuesday night.  Hawks were led by Shawn Prudhomme with 25 points in the 79-74 win.  HJ is ranked #2 in the SETXSPORTS.COM Dirty Dozen poll this week.  The Bobcats (16-14, 2-4) are once again at home this week, just as they were on Tuesday night when they defeated the Hamshire-Fannett Longhorn's 45-38.  Orangefield currently finds themselves in 5th place in District 21-3A.

Tune in LIVE tonight at 7:20pm for the pre-game talk with Rob Lietzke and Robb Starr!!!

Where is all the hype for this district game ::)

[Lazeek]

OF has always given HJ fits in Orange.  Expect a tougher game than HJ and OF had in Sour Lake.  I'll take the Hawks by 15!!

[catfever]

The only thing that gets hyped up on this board is HJ vs. Silsbee or Nederland vs. Central/Ozen.  Look at all the other links.  There isn't going to be any hype for this game on here.  No biggie on that, but it should come as no surprise to anyone.  Hopefully the hawks overlook the Bobcats, like the Longhorns did on Tuesday.  Doubtful, but one can always hope.

the hawks could overlook the bobcats and STILL win by 20-25 points.  but like lazeek said, OF might find a way to keep it semi-interesting at home.

[catfever]

Hopefully they play as well as they did against Sislbee in OF.  They were only down 15 with 2 min. to go in game.

truthfully, i hope they do, too.  I want HJ to face as many tests as possible over the next couple of weeks before playoffs start.

Did a dunk ignite that 32-8 run?

Thanks to Coach Wrinkle at OF for the hospitality!!!! 

[Lazeek]

HJ Dunk-O-Meter today got rang three times!!!

Prudhomme started it with a 2 handed monster dunk in the 2nd to start a 32-8 run 8), and then in the 3rd Prudhomme caught two alley oops!!!  One from Johnson, and then one from Bosha!!!

Hawks shot the ball from the paint as bad tonight as I have seen all year.  Hope they get those to fall by Tuesday night as WO-S comes to Sour Lake!!!

[BLUEDOVE3]

Ran the score up again, huh?
