Evadale played a great game. Dunnigan looked better then I have ever seen him play. With that said, if Dunnigan could keep his emotions in check, he'd do alot better. I do understand emotions run hot alot in the game, and he has gotten better at it, just keep working hard young man.  Kountze absolutely played as bad as I have ever seen.  Their guard hit some cluctch shots. McDaniel did not have a good offensive game.  Kountze needs a leader.  Not having Linn really hurts them. Good thing Kountze makes FT's. The officiating was not the best. tons of non calls on both sides, but 1st half fouls called were way in favor of Evadale, if Evadale had done better on FT's, I think they could have put this one out of reach.  Kountze worked really hard the last few minutes to take this one. They should work this hard the whole game. 

Tough Call to make. Human heart instinct is to protect a bleeding player.  If there is a blow out lead, by either team. I think stop the game. If it is close, or could help a team get some momentum, i think let the fast break continue, but stop as soon as ball is shot, or fast break is stopped/defended.  I do think, seeing a player down and in agony or bleeding, you want to stop it as soon as possible. 

Glad you are better Travis. Take it easy and know you are in the prayers of the Dumas family.

Congrats Lady Pirates

Calls need to be consistent on both sides. You can't let one team be the more aggressive team and not call fouls, and the other team gets ticky tack calls.  I agree with not impending the dribbler, but watch for his away forearm/elbow as well on the defender.   Actually had a ref tell a player he could not play defense with his arms outstretched against a dribbler  (not touching the player) , they had to be up in the air.    SMH

Hardin looked slopy in the 1st half. Ec was up 10 points at the half. Much better 2nd half for Hardin.  Good defense.  Stephanie #4 I think and Mya took control. Good game.

There are lots of NICE people who get accused of doing illegal things, some actually do them. Does not mean they are not nice. made a dumb decision yes. 

Hardin  68  Hemphill  51  Final  (sloppy 3rd Q by Hardin) High score Hemphill  A Singleton  24 pts Hardin  D J Hall  33 pts  C Dumas 10 pts

When does Kountze play again?

At the half Hardin  42  Hemphill  17 

Big sandy 65  Hardin  57 

Anywhere I can fill up a growing 15 yr old with all you can eat.  LOL

Hopefullt Hardin can pull this one out.  Very young team, getting thrown to the fire early.

Congrats Kountze!    Prayers for Laramie from the Dumas family.

EC over Aransas Pass by 2    64- 62  I think  Final

Kountze should have won by 20, too many turnovers. Crockett is big in size. Anahuac did not play well, Tatum is very athletic.

I actually don't mind the mini fros, braids, dreads, if they are kept neat. I would not like the long braids, since they could pull on them when the ref isn't looking.  But if this is a rule that the head coach has made, my son would abide by it.

Thinking I just might make that Kountze game.    :)

Exciting game. Hardin was down by 9, went with a 2 freshman, 2 soph, 1 junior rotation, to take the lead, it was back and forth and West Hardin hit a buzzer beater with 1 sec on clock.  Dumas a Freshman for Hardin had a good game. Rives is a Junior,  Hardin is young this year, but they are getting better every game. Keep working hard. 

No, the trainer has not always been the AD. He has been the AD since at least Joubert was there.

That Freshman for Humble Christian  Joe Burton is good, been watching him play since 5th grade.  

Another question:  Player A  gets fouled - already in double bonue......after foul is called,  player A,,,throws ball at other teams player, resulting in a Tech and his 5th foul.    Who shoots the free throw for the initial foul,  player coming off bench to replace said player is who shot the foul.  The opposing teams coach, was very adamant that HE got to choose the FT shooter for the tech. The refs said no, the player coming in shoots it.  Because it was the 5th foul, he could not shoot his own FTs for the initial foul.    Is there a rule for this?    Thanks.

Silsbee +15 Woodville is athletic, fast, not alot of size, but man are they quick. Run and gun.  They didn't seem to handle the press very well. 

Heck if you don't support certain schools your a step child....as you know Dove
