  2. It's not the Championship game but it kind of is. Know what I mean? In our minds we remember Team USA beating the Russians in the 1980 Winter Olympics for the Gold Medal. But that's not exactly what happened. Team USA had to come from behind to beat team Finland 4 - 2 for the Gold Medal. That game was played two days after we defeated Russia in the first game of the gold medal round. In fact this 4A Championship is very much like the 1980 Winter Olympics hockey Gold Medal round. We have 4 teams. 2 Good teams, 1 Better team, and one Best team. The Better team has to play the Best team in the the semi. And the odds are stacked pretty high Better team because the Best team is so strong. But even if the Better team manages to defeat the Best team the Better team still has a tough game against one of the Good teams to win the Championship And in spirit it's exactly the same. The Best team in the 1980 Olympics, which was supposed to be strickly amateur athletics at that time, the Russians, were really a professional national team from the largest nation on earth that considered hockey it's national sport. The other three really were amateur national teams, especially team USA which was mostly NCAA players and very young. Faith Family doesn't have a football team so basketball is in reality their "national sport". Silsbee, Boerne and Hirsch all play football. And thought all three are basketball schools football is still their biggest draw. This is Texas after all. And another similarity was that team USA didn't have to win a series against the Russians, just one game. A 1979, a year before the Olympics, team Russia beat the NHL All Star team in a best of 3 series held at Madison Square Gardens. 2 - 4, 5 - 4, 6 - 0. No way could team USA have beaten Russia in a series, even a three game one. They would have figured us out and that would have been that. FYI: The Canadian NHL All Star team DID beat the Russian national team in an exhibition series in 1976. Arguably it was the hardest fought sports series in the history of team sports at any level. The national pride of two sporting nations, both of whom considered hockey to be their national sport, sport was on the line.. The Canadians fell behind in first games held in Canada and had to make their comeback and win the final game in Russia. Epic. Look it up.

  4. Booker T and Faith Family aren't the same type of teams. The keys for Silsbee to win will be forcing turnovers, free throws, and knock down 3s like we did vs Booker T. Anyone can be beat in a one game scenario. I find it trash that #1 vs #2 has to be a semifinals game. Ill take Silsbee in a major upset 81-77.

    Much like pain medication. Where I worked it depended on your position. If you were in operations, driving equipment or on the production line, you couldn’t take prescription opiates. If you had to take them you’d have to take sick leave. If you worked in an office you could take them and go to work. As for MJ, even if legalized or prescribed, I’d never take/use it if I worked in an area like our production. Ironically, some OTC cold medication can affect folks worse than some opiates. The die’s are cast. They may not come out good every time but cest la vie.

  7. Pretty sure BTW had two dunks. One towards the end of a quarter and another was on a foul. Kinda surprised at how much one of their bigs (think it was Lewis) liked to hang out at the 3 point line. Harris definitely had the most important dunk of the night though.

  9. I don't think Brownsboro is being given enough credit here. They had a great plan, played tenacious D, and was deadly accurate most of the game. Part of H-J's struggles were a result from Brownsboro efforts. Not all but enough to make the difference. This was not a fluke, Brownsboro worked, executed, and earned the win.

  13. Coinflip. Don't let Kimball's record fool you. I'm not a huge fan of maxprep's rankings, but Kimball has 2-point losses to #2 and #7 in the country, and an 8-point loss to #3. Other losses are to the #4 team out of Utah, the #1 team out of Florida, and the #21 team in the country. They dropped a game to Lancaster in district, and the only loss I can't understand is to the Episcopal School of Dallas, an okay 6A private. that game happened between christmas and new years, so I wouldn't at all be surprised if that was a covid game. they're winning by almost 30 a game through the playoffs so far.

    I am going by AAW’s house later with a bunch of plastic bottles and a water hose. I’m starting a Silsbee bottled water company. I don’t know what’s in it but it must be some good stuff.

  16. BH had multiple D1 players in the 1990's and won 1 state championship. Its hard to win state. BH had kendal shaw (Vanderbilt) and lost in 4a semi finals. BH lost in Semis with collier to Canyon. Dont know how many WNBA players Canyon had that year. My point is winning state aint easy. Look at all the free throws Brownsboro missed down the stretch to make it interesting. HJ was sloppy with the BB and it cost them. Stop blaming the coach. You'd be praising him if they made 2 more points.

  17. Asia Wheeler has done well the next level, albeit small school, but very successful. I’m including Beavers and Sneed in my original post. That’s my point. This is a 4A team with a McDonalds All American and #1 recruit in Texas, with 2 other future D1 players. That’s an ABUNDANCE of talent at a 4A school. Not to mention all 3 play different positions, PG, SF/EVERYTHING and PF/C, a PERFECT mix of talent. The talent gap in that game last night was astronomical. It’s an ENORMOUS disappointment this team never won a State Title the last 4 years. If you think different, you’re absolutely kidding yourself...PERIOD.

  21. As I’ve said before, biden and the Dims are more concerned with social issues than they are in having a strong America. Two things stand out that make America weaker, dependence on foreign oil, and kicking military personnel out over a stupid vax. But, everybody will have EV’s come hell or high water. NEVER!!!

    Like alcohol, many drink after hours but not on the job. Many MJ users do the same.

    He/they are reluctant to open up oil production because it contradicts and conflicts with their agenda. Their agenda values are more important than taking a stand against a war monger. They are willing to continue financially supporting Russia.

  28. Congrats to HJ on a heck of a run the last 4 years. The team has a lot of talented girls back. They will be back in San Antonio soon. Brownsboro played a heck of a game Saturday night. The twin girls for Brownsboro are sophomores.

  31. I agree, I think the Argyle game took a lot out of them. I told Ms. Scientist this very thing, that I was afraid of an HJ hangover from the semis.

    Yes, it is all a part of the grand scheme. I do find it interesting and patriotic that Elon Musk is asking congress to step up US oil production, which is counter-productive to his electric car industry. The world needs more conspiracy “nuts”.
