Well, I dont think you were ever worried about them being atop the district for consecutive years either.

Don't get overly impressed with that statement.  Lots of people here have experienced those things.  After Tiger Woods won his first US Amateur, I don't think anyone was suggesting to him that he did not have the capability of joining subsequently more "exclusive" clubs.

I love the knocks on Nederland from two ozen guys and one of whom is a Hamshire descendant.  Hilarious!  How many district championships have those two combined for over the last couple years? ::)

Waco, and this is their 2nd trip to the State Tournament in Austin.  They won it in 2000 as a member of Region 1 3A!!!

[BLUEDOVE3]

Just guessing but I'm sure the Waco team was or at least hope this team is heavy with seniors this year.

9 out of 12 were Seniors.  Other 3 were all Juniors.

[BLUEDOVE3]

Thats good.

[BLUEDOVE3]

So, HJ only losing two seniors, right? Will HJ be considered  a young team or veteran team?

HJ lost 7 Seniors, two starters and then 5 reserves who played limited minutes.  HJ will have SEVERAL, I repeat SEVERAL Sophomores on the Varsity team next year!!!  A few who may start.  Only two BIG minute players will come from Seniors next year.

Impossible.  Likely to go 17-17.  Doesnt matter what LaVega returns because Yates will own the region.

In 1988, the Lady hawks, the team I was on lost their only game of the season in the state championship game. We lost to Brownsfield, who had a then unknown player named Sherly swoopes. Everyone expected us to win state, but we didn't. The following year after losing 3 starters we won the 1989 state championship when noone thought we could. Ramona Jones and I, Tisha Bosha, were the only remaining starters left. Don't count HJ out just yet, because anything can happen, it did for us...

[PoppaBearstarr]

Nice, thats right anything is possible.
