  1. Local schools...

    5a- #16 Beaumont United (way too low!!!  Should  e a top 5 team easily... do t let the lack of games fool ya 5a!!)

    4a- #1 HJ, #7 Lumberton, #14 Jasper, #25 Silsbee

    (great showing for our area!!!)

    3A- #9 Woodville

     

    All these rankings mean nothing right now... especially when one positive covid test at the wrong time could wreck a season... However... its nice to see our area recognized for some great teams locally!

  2. me too... however.... I have never liked the concept of a warm up game.s, and have never played one..   At that point in the season, you know who your playoff opponents would be...

    Unless you are a team that needs a morale boost, or are trying to up your win/loss % for seeding in the state tournament, there are few advantages and lots of disadvantages for these type of games (not talking about winning or taking losses..injuries/ $$ lost prep time for games that matter).... thats what the slate of 15-20 non district games are for...

     

  3. we have never played a warmup game....  we tried to reschedule, but it just couldnt work.  At this point in the season, extra days have to be used for make ups in case of cancellations...  We tried to redo it... we couldnt... we will get it next season... unfortunate, but this covid stuff has wreck havoc on EVERYTHING!!!

    Good luck to all as the 2nd half of district starts and into the playoffs....  I am seriously hoping that we see a large SETX group in san antonio 6-7 weeks from now, as there are several teams in different classifications that have a shot to get there.

  4. There are lots of reasons for that....  Different chapters call the games differently.  If a team goes into a game and does not adjust, it is on them, not the officials.

    With COVID, fans have to understand that officiating chapters are severely short handed.  In our games, we always get an experienced ref and two younger ones who are being trained up.  You can whine about it, adapt and use it to your benefit, or go to the officials association and sign up to help....  In reality those are the three choices you have...

    I have never seen a ref stop, anaylze the comments from the stands and then change how they were calling...   If folks would hush and just cheer for their team... you would be amazed at how much the officiating changes...

    I know this game had some stuff that crossed the line as far as a ref interacting with a player, but fans have got to let the coaches handle that kind of stuff..

  5. 4 hours ago, Coach D.J. Wilson said:

    No one hates the atmosphere of HJ more than me.  They beat my girls team 3 times last year to include a trip to regionals.

     

    As the coach that is trying to build a winning culture you want an excited crowd.  This gives the youngsters growing up in the community excitement to play basketball.  Which is important because my first year coaching girls I only received 2 from my junior high.
     

    As a dad I have 4 daughters and have coached one of the top softball teams in the country with kids flying in to play for the team from different states.  We kept our stands loud and proud even against the weaker teams.  I got criticized for years doing it and people asked my why?  I never answered them but will tell it on here.  The reason why is my kids loved it.  
     

    I’m here to motivate my players and team.  I always want a clean game and no one to get hurt but other than that I don’t care about my competitions feelings that’s their coaches and fans job.

    HJ is getting out of their program what they’re putting into it and good for them.  I’m trying to do the same here at mine.  Great job Fogo and Sneed I still don’t like either one of you. 

    Haha!! Love ya DJ!!!
