hjhawks

Congrats Silsbee!

Good first half .  Moore was awesome tonight.

HJ will play Brookshire-Royal at 7:30 pm at Deer Park (again) on Tuesday.

As a teacher and a coach, I can say this....  It is our job to NEVER quit on a kid!  I have put in I don't know how many hours with him and his older brother and am proud of the steps that we made.  (even if the improvement is not noticible)  He will get it together eventually.... Rome wasn't built overnight.

My point is this..... while it may seem like a "win at all cost" attitude.... it is actually using something that is dear to him to reach him.  (At least that was how I approached it.) 

Lay off the kid!  You are not him, you are not on his team, and you are not his coach...... let it rest.

GOOD LUCK PAM, AND GOOD LUCK JBROWN!

PS show me your teeth!

-Coach Fogo

If you remember the debate that was sparked when the Postal service issued the Elvis stamps ... it was old elvis vs. young elvis...

Young Sutherland vs. Old Sutherland...

Also, young davis could not play his coaching duties would trump playing... also Nolte would not be able to play... as he would have to be the administrator on duty.

Assuming Sutherland coaches both squads... here is my take.  a tie.  128-128. 

This would set up a money making opportunity with the rematch to be played at the Montaigne Center ... hahah

they had me laughing at barbers hill..... and I was sitting on the bench.

My question is where is the old scarecrow with the jersey from last year?  I don't know why, but i thought it was a nice touch

It was removed, and I am glad that person chose to do so.  In coaching.....  you can NEVER make everyone happy!  I really mean NEVER!  It is your fault if you lose and it is your fault if you don't win enough.  I have even been told after a baseball game that it was my fault that we lost because our dugout was positioned so the sun was in our eyes....

Anyway,the time to judge the success of this years team will be when we are picking up equipment.  Not now.... there are still 6 games left on "our" schedule.

A special thank you to Silsbee Players and Coaches!

One of our players forgot her shoes for the game last night.  After the Silsbee game, Coach K got several of his players together and they let one of our girls borrow a pair of shoes.

Another Class Act!  Good Luck Lady Tigers against Navasota.

If you are going to use the "we are only 9th and 10th graders" as an excuse, you shouldn't play varisty games until you have all 4 years.  Silsbee shot extremely poorly and if they played again, I am sure it would not be close.

Congrats Tigers!

Predictions?

Best baseline raker-

Best Water hose holder-

Best mound tamper-

Best ball bucket carrier-

Best bullpen catcher-

fastest batting cage rollers (*this is a team award)-

I watched Kingwood Park lose by 10 to Splendora tonight.  K-Park will be good eventually but they are so young...  They play disciplined, slow deliberate basketball.  Silsbee or HJ will play them in the first round.

1993-1995 was a great year for that district... WB had sneed and correyell? sp... central had franklin paul, tj had a great big man who i think went to texas tech.  Baytown Lee had Clayton Shields, Deer Park had Jason Skaer who went to OK State.  I remember all those games and almost everyone was a mini rivalry.

I would take Jackson though.  Sneed got alot of his baskets from put backs, where jackson created alot more for himself and team.

Coop,

You guys do a great job! keep it up... It is much appreciated!

A big thanks to Coach Sutherland and the HF coach for this.  It will be nice for fans to get to cheer on the girls!  I know the lady hawks appreciate this move!

bleed orange, check your pm's....

I think sutherland did the same for hj.... nice move on their part

i expect a pretty large 21-3A crowd at Barbers Hill.

i will get our stats tomorrow, but Hall is arounf 11 boards / game and bernsen had around 6 steals/game

Victoria Fontenot probably should get newcomer....  she was pretty consistant all around.

Old ref-

Thank you for the comments....

HJ

sounds like it was a good one!

Congrats Lady Jags!  Good Luck in the playoffs!

If HJ is going to go deep in they playoffs, they will have to shoot better from the foul line.  They were 11 for 29!  The game should have been a 15-20 point win, but o-well!

Little was great tonight!

Good Luck to all in the playoffs!

I'll be easy to find, I'm the one that looks like he is about to dry up and blow away.  lol

We must look a like Poppabearstar. I will bring some cash. You better also. Can't wait, I can taste the nacho's now with peppers of course.  ;D Yes it is all you can eat for one not the whole family unless they are under the age of 4 years old. Then I will gladly pay for them. Anything over 5 they will break you. These kids can eat. Your wife gets to eat free also because she is probably the better half. ;D

Tell you guys what..... after the game I will set up a chair right in the middle, and the loser has to go get it and bring it out like a waiter.

haha

By the way, the wife is definitely the better half!

it may be a shrug your shoulder attitude, but in sports, sometimes you have to tip your hat to the other team.... (The superbowl is a good example of this.)

Mc Neese shot the ball extremely well from ALL over the floor.  I said in my post that they had poor shot selection and still think that was why they lost.  That is fixable.  Playing good defense and forcing 22-24 foot contested shots and the other team hits them consistantly is very hard to fix...

Losing doesn't make you a loser.....  Failing to learn from a loss and losing due to the same thing makes you a loser...

Those 3's weren't uncontested. Most were with the shot clocl winging down and a hand in the face.  LU just had some trouble with shot selection and had a few stretches were they went cold.

Coach Tidwell did fine, they just lost... it happens sometimes... Give Mc Neese credit.  They shot the ball extremely well!

Word on the street is that Coach Humplik went to some camps this winter.  His "back" call has improved and should be a little more consistant with the customary "safe" signal on any close play at first.  He also has added a few new catch phrases to go with the classic "Yes Sir! and "Atta boy!"

I hope Coach Vansa brings his A game or Silsbee could be in for some tough games with the Hawks.

To anyone who has played at Orangefield in the past six years(in any sport):

It would be a crime to not mention the lady who does the weird "turkey gobble" noise.  She seems to be at all the sports and I crack up laughing every time I would hear her

By the way.....  JDAD can now be called an honorary official after he corrected the officials on a jump ball call tonight! haha
