Congrats !  Good luck Coach Ben and the Panthers. Keep rolling !

Silsbee and HJ each [b]one[/b] against each other  Except for my typo  won

Over last few months there has been many arguments about who is better between the above schools.  Most of it was fueled by one person who dedicated his energies to discrediting one of those schools. If u use head to head games between the three, u find HJ at 3-1, Silsbee at 1-2, and Kountze at 1-2.  After tonite, someone will be 2-2 and someone else will be 1-3.  If u use these numbers as an indicator and don't try to blame referees , location, etc etc isn't it fairly easy to arrive at Fairly easy to arrive at we have 3 very good teams in this area, that love to hate each other.  2 of them are 3A,  one is a 2A, all in the playoffs.  Good luck to all the teams.  I have seen them all play, even against each other. Silsbee and HJ each one against each other, and Kountze beat Silsbee once early in the season. HJ beat Kountze x2, but by very little, both were great games, Good luck to them all in the post season.  

I've been told that is where the bigger newer gym is. 

upate?

Congrats to Hardin.  I was not sure how this game would go, thought it would be close. Great job, keep up the hard work. 

This Richard Milburn Academy is from Houston. Tough game for those girls, Hardin fans cheered for them when they scored.  Hardin is young, only 1 Senior, 2 Juniors. Woodville is undefeated, and played in the State championship game last year, they are on a mission.  Good luck to Hardin.  Being this young and making it to the playoffs is great. 

Although Texas's losses are against ranked teams, does this many losses in conference hurt their chance in the Big Dance? 

I think they are capable of being better then that team.  They have looked very good this year, and the bench players are playing well.  If they can keep the turnovers to a minimum, everything should work out.

I saw that HJ game also, saw the hand, its a matter of interpretation, was it a hand in the face, or just a blow off, that the player disagreed with the refs call?  The Kountze players respect their coach.  They also run their butts off for mistakes, turnovers, misses, techs, etc.  Joubert has class and control, there is no doubt about that. 

EC coach showed class and integreity by setting 33 for the tech he got when he and 15 for Kounze got dubbel techs.  His lost realy cost the bucs on the boards but he should have keep his mouth shut. And it is clear who is running the Kounze team, That was the first time in all the yearts that I have watch High school ball that I saw a coach send a player on the floor and the other player tell he he was not comming out. That player has tons of ibility but would not play for most coaches that I have seen. But EC did play a very good game and the dunks and alley oops were not there for Kounze they only had one brakeaway dunks and EC ansewerd right back with a dunk of there own. You also can see why Kounze uses UIL for there games. There is a whole lot of playground plays allowed that will not be in the State playoffs. Perhaps sitting 33 showed a little class. Not sitting a player that gets a tech, does not mean there is less class.  A double tech should not have been called at that point. Bray was at the line ready to shoot free throws when 33 walked by and said something.  A double tech should have been called early when players were jawing at each other.  I think the refs should have had a better hand in the foul calling, lots of physical play by both teams, and trash talking by both teams. The EC coach even got a tech.  The player did not tell him he wasnt coming out, he asked could he stay just another minute, and he was allowed, he was walking toward the bench when Joubert said no stay in.  Joubert runs this team without a doubt, and the players know it. If you knew Joubert, you would know he is the one in charge, it won't be any other way.  Dunks are a part of basketball, State games included.  EC tried a alley last night also, playground style, just didnt work out. 

No contest.  EC lost to Anahuac at home,  Anahuac lost to Kountze by 30 something at Anahuac.  Kountze by 40 plus

Kountze did beat Central this season, 1st scrimmage, at Central. Was when Central was still in football playoffs, although I'm not to sure it would have helped them. 

Agreed, its cold, but not icy, and we are indoors.    :)

Any cancellations for games on Friday?  Some of the Middle school games and tournaments have been cancelled for today. 

Score for the WB/Silsbee games ?
