Almost like playing a team on its home floor.....they at least have a one-game practice on the floor.

Looking forward to broadcasting these games!! [/quote] If HJ plays at the EC Preview you will only have two games to broadcast!!! ;) ;) [/quote] Has HJ found anyone to play & would it be @ EC?

[quote name="mfd814" post="1178533" timestamp="1329323351"] EC did play better and deserved the win, Hardin did not play well.  I did complain about the refs, because they were horrible,  and everyone who plays there knows when you play EC, you will get stiffed by Refs.  Hardin knew it would be tough against EC, and respects that and wish them well in the playoffs. [/quote]MFD, please see uknowit2's previous post. I think Hardin has been stiffed by the EC team on the scoreboard for the last, let's say, 10 years.

[quote name="uknowit2" post="1178405" timestamp="1329314525"] Lets see if I got this straight, EC drops a 45 spot on Hardin but it was those darn refs that cost Hardin the game. Typical reaction of a loser. [/quote]I tried to put some lipstick on this point in the previous post but well said uknowit2, sometimes you gotta cut to the chase!!!!!!!!

[quote name="mfd814" post="1178240" timestamp="1329279509"] Hadin did not play well, did not handle the ball well. Easily frustrated by the 8 to 19 foul count and 22 to 10 FTs in EC favor.    Ec played physical in the paint and rarely got a foul called.  Hardin was up 9 to 0..when the fouls started getting called.......gulf coast or wnnie refs at his beck and call.  EC played a better game, but the refs really did a job.    Good luck in the playoffs.  [/quote]Why not stop at "Hardin did not play well, did not handle the ball well". Most coaches will tell you that when you do either or both of those you won't beat teams like Silsbee, HJ, EC or Kountze, etc. You don't have to like losing, but you need to learn to do it gracefully. Typical Hardin " Class Act "

I saw the highlight reel last night on KFDM & I have a question. I have attended the Barbers Hill Christmas Classic a few times and last night I recognized 2 of the 3 officials in the game as Bay Area referees (the chapter that Liberty uses). Why would H-F agree to play a play-off game with the opponent's home referees instead of neutral officials???????

Man please...Tell your "co-worker" to tell that lie to someone who will believe it.... ::)...I actually was not talking bad about EC I was having fun with BLUEDOVE3 about something entirely different...Besides, for people to be jealous you have to have WON something...NO titles in EC or Nederland last I checked... ::)...THAT is all. 8) [quote author=Lt.

[quote name="tagalong" post="1173558" timestamp="1328644581"] key to this game will be rebounding, just my opinion. I have only seen EC once. [/quote]I think Evadale is a better rebounding team than East Chambers but if Connor George plays well tonight, EC + 13. She is the best player in 24-2A right now & Barker (Hardin) is a close 2nd.

This 2A district is tightening up as it comes to an end. Konnor George had 27 points & it sounds like she is picking up speed. She will have to continue if EC is to beat Buna there.
