I'm the type, if it's a bad call, I'll tell you it is, whether it's ref's in my own chapter or elsewhere, I won't sugar coat it or make excuses for them. But this does not show if the player was previously warned in his actions or if he mouthed something that not everyone could hear! There's lots of facts not known to determine what the ref saw during the game to warrant this 'T' [/quote]So the ref has the authority to say, "Dude, if you even LOOK AT HIM one more time, I'm teching you"?  If you are going to affect the outcome of the state championship, shouldn't it be on something more concrete than this?

Will HJ be considered  a young team or veteran team? [/quote] HJ lost 7 Seniors, two starters and then 5 reserves who played limited minutes.  HJ will have SEVERAL, I repeat SEVERAL Sophomores on the Varsity team next year!!!  A few who may start.  Only two BIG minute players will come from Seniors next year. [/quote]OHHH MAN! This could put a major dent in the HJ program next year, though I still expect them to make playoffs [/quote] Impossible.  Likely to go 17-17.  Doesnt matter what LaVega returns because Yates will own the region. [/quote] True...BUT stevenash we are supposed to be discussing the Waco LaVega/HJ contest from last Friday night...nothing more...nothing less... [/quote]FINALLY!!!! Words of wisdom from DV! ;)

[quote name="sleepy" post="1192392" timestamp="1330957773"] Different coaches have different personalities.  I prefer for a coach to get excited hug his players, coaches and family.  The dancing stuff bothers me.  Does it mean it is wrong........no.  Just not what I would want to participate in or my children to participate in. [/quote]I agree with the personalities.  Coach Williams, although I don't know him personally, seems to have an infectious personality.  His dance didn't really bother me, although I might no be in the majority with that opinion (I don't know... or care).  I'm just wondering what made the LaVega coach's dance different.

In regards to the coach from LaVega doing the "stanky-leg dance", I wasn't there so I didn't see it.  What was it compared to Coach Travis Williams doing his dance after a couple of HJ-Silsbee games?

Maybe if we can get along on this web-site.... it can filter down through the fans and the players.

[quote name="ST413" post="1192149" timestamp="1330893661"] After the first game you had a reaction to a game winning shot. A knee jerk reaction.  In the second game after a shot at the end that put HJ to the win, the player turned mouthing to the Tiger fans. Same type of reaction, no big deal in my opinion. Just kids being kids, heck of I had made either shot, I would have been celebrating and I am definitely far from ghettofabulous! [/quote]I agree with the Silsbee win.  C'mon, man!  You just hit a miracle turn around jumper from 35 feet away at the buzzer!!!!  I'd be running around like a maniac.  Shirts off?  Is that taunting?  I wasn't aware of that. I can't (and won't) speak for the HJ win, because I didn't see it.

Does anyone wonder if the 3A classification is going to hurt the talent pool at Yates.  I mean, players are "drawn" to play for Yates in order to get the exposure for the D1 recruiters. If Yates goes to 3A, where there is said to be less exposure (by those more knowledgeable in these matters than I), will kids turn away from the Yates Machine and attend other schools instead?

[quote name="ManOfFewWords" post="1191765" timestamp="1330821172"] Once the Tigers get running there pretty hard to stop lets just hope they keep the momentum coming out the second half #iBelieve 2012 State Champs  8) [/quote]Let's just hope the Tigers have the gas in their legs to go 2 more quarters.  You know LV has a run left in them, so keep up the pressure and keep 'em on their heels. How well is Baby Shaq holding up?  He ought to be worn out by now!

BS, at halftime, you've got to give us a quick synopsis of the first half.  Is Silsbee killing them on the press, or what?

Johnson almost made a 3 to tie it up at the end, but it went in and out. Great season Hawks!!! Very proud of ya'll.

Good Luck, tigers!!! Beat LaVega's tail!!!

LV is going to win!

HJ turns it over again!!! LV at the FT line shooting 1 and 1.  15 seconds to go. 1st one is good.  2nd one is good.  53-50 LV

We had the ball with about 35 seconds to go, but LV stole it away.  It would have been good to be able to bleed off the clock! 51-50 LV with 25 seconds to go.  HJ fixing to throw it in.
