sunshine Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 thank you im not the only one who sees it this way sutherland is to scared to sit people when they have a bad game.
AggiesAreWe Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Look guys, from what I saw last night, HJ is not a great team, no #4 team for sure. They are a good team no doubt, but they are overrated in my book. They had no bench to speak of, Silsbee played 10 last night. They have no inside threat, the big guy is just not that good. Donahoe is very good but not good enough to carry this team deep in the playoffs. Silsbee showed that you can contain him and make the others try to beat you. I really don't see any of our distict teams doing well in the playoffs but I sure would like to be wrong on that.
Guest wos89 Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 I think our teams will do well in the playoffs. Earl Thomas for WOS will finally be back Tuesday from his football game in Florida. We'll get in our groove.

stang4life Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Sutherland is a "bad coach"..."scared of this player"...etc.Come on guys...if anyone knows Coach Sutherland, they know his record. He left an outstanding program (that he helped create) and went to coach at another school and is successful there also. He is obviously doing something right.As for HJ...they are a good team. Everyone is capable of having an off-night. I do agree that when the starters aren't having a good night, a change-up is needed, but I can tell you that when those starters start being pulled out, some of the same posters making the suggestion will be objecting to that decision too. It's a no win situation and kudos to Sutherland and all the other coaches who dedicate their time and efforts to work with our kids...not just to make them better athletes...but more importantly, to make them better people.
Guest tigersvoice Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 I'd still like to know who Emptybucket thinks is an idiot.
Guest spinks Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Come on fellas. I dont post on here but this is ridiculous. Silsbe lost to WOS by 20! HJ has beaten them 2 times in the last two weeks. HJ had a bad night. To say they are not a number 4 ranked team in the state may be true but you cant base your opinion on 1 night. What about HJ beating Lufkin Hudson by 30+ and silsbee barely beats them. Silsbee has great athletes who had a good night. Then the stuff about Sutherland................WOW!!!!!!!!! This guy is arguably the best coach in the area and one of the best in Texas. You guys need to think before you talk! Questioning him is pretty funny............would anyone care for me to post his record?
Guest Kelly Football Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Please do. I've always wondered what Todd's record was. Thanks
Guest spinks Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 it is about 388 and 97(could be 1 or 2 off on the losses)...................in 18 years of coaching Friday was only is 6th district loss...............those 388 wins include a state championship and 5 state tournament appearences. Now.....................Is this a guy we should be questioning?
Guest Kelly Football Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 About what i expected. Not to shabby. 8)

Fact is, some teams just match up better than others do. WOS had the inside players to match up with Silsbee's inside guys, HJ didn't have those against Silsbee. Silsbee did a great job defensively against Donahoe, where he went off on WOS. It's all about the match ups.
Guest spinks Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 if WOS had the inside guys to match up to silsbee but HJ didnt how did HJ have the inside guys to match up with WOS. By the way...........donahoe scored between 8-12 points in HJ's district win against WOS. I would not quite call that going off! HJ's big man has been very effective this season...........he had a bad night in silsbee. Look all 3 are good teams but I will bet that you have not seen HJ play more than once and in order to estimate how good they are or are not you must see more than one game. You are right about one thing........teams do match up bad with teams............HJ does not match up well against athletic teams. HJs loss had nothing to do with the play of the big men yet the perimeter defense silsbee played had everything to do with it. I will agree that silsbee had a bad night in WOS!
Guest wos89 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Spinks, who's your pick in this District?
Guest spinks Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Right now I would bet on WOS. They have HJ at home and I think they are flat out better than Silsbee. WOS has the perfect mix of basketball players and athleticism. ALong with great coaching my pick is WOS.............as much as it hurts to pick against my hawks.
t-time Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 I got HJ then WOS or Silsbee, HJ will come back with a vengence and take what is rightfully theirs. STATE RINGS BABY!
sunshine Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 i don't see HJ losing at home though cause they haven't lost a home game yet and their fans do get a little crazy(have had ejections before) it wouldn't suprise me to see a 3 way tie for first. but HJ doesnt match up well with athletic teams. and donahoe had 11 against west Orange in their district meeting he had 18 against silsbee.

We finally get Earl back this week. Mccarter will get the job done.
bballfan07 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Thank you, Spinks, for backing up Coach Sutherland. This man is an amazing coach, and not only coaches these boys, but coached boys little dribblers a while back, and also helped with my sisters little dribbler's team the year before last. Todd puts in so much time, more than some of you guys know, to help his team grow to what it is. He does it for his love of the game, and for his love of these boys... any team would be lucky to have him.
rub-a-dub Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 hj felt bad for silsbee so thet let them have this one it wont happen again
The dirty doody Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 tubbs that was the dumbest thing i have ever heard on this forum...u should shut up and not say stupid stuff like that. we lost fair and square and we will have our shot at them agian on the 30th.
Guest tigersvoice Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 hj felt bad for silsbee so thet let them have this one it wont happen againMy goodness "rub-a-dub, did the Hawks feel "19 points" sorry for Silsbee?
PoppaBearstarr Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Ryan had 18 points and was the leading scorer for both teams. Â It just didn't seem that way because of Harper's defense and the play of Shannon Robinson.Also, Â Silsbee's big boys were too much for HJ. Â They will play again and it will be a different game next time.
