Wow.  Does it seem eerie reading this thread after tonight's result? 

Great, great ballgame.  Great season by a superb Silsbee Tiger team.  This one is going to hurt those guys for a long time.  My heart goes out to them.

I'll most likely get flamed for this post, but oh well...  I'm not disputing the success that 21-3A has had, nor am I saying that the district is not a powerhouse at the top.  It's just that some of us from outside the Golden Triangle get tired of some of the posters on this board who are more interested in running down everyone else for not being in 21 and who seem not to get the fact that there are other folks out there in the world who also play good basketball.

That just makes it all that much sweeter when someone from 22-3A does beat someone from 21-3A.  Am I going to go on a big rant about how great 22-3A is just because Coldspring beat WO-S and Cleveland beat Silsbee earlier this year?  No, of course not.  The body of evidence over the past several seasons shows that 21 has pretty much dominated 22.  But I am going to enjoy that at least for now, there's no thread on here about 21-3A sweeping 22-3A out of the playoffs.  Could that still happen next week, with the possibility of Cleveland-HJ and Coldspring-Silsbee matchups?  Sure it could.

Either way, congrats Coldspring on the big win last night.  Liberty, you guys gave it your all last night, too.  (There were some concerned looks on the faces of the Hawk Hecklers at halftime.)

Now let's see how much of a hornet's nest I've stirred up... 

It's hard for you 21-3A guys to imagine lowly District 22 knocking one of your guys off, isn't it...?  ;D

Congrats, Panthers!  You've come a long way in a year's time.

Where's this one being played? 

If it's in Dayton, I'd expect it to be close, but if it's in Mont Belvieu, I'd take BH by 8.  There's just something tough about beating those guys at home.

Of course, for those of you who like comparing results, in the BH tourney, the Eagles beat Cleveland by 8, who beat Silsbee by 11, who beat Dayton by 50+, so that makes Barbers Hill about 70 points better than Dayton, right...?

It's just a good thing that you guys are so modest about District 21.  ;)

Maybe so...maybe no.  ;D

It's tough to tell right now. 

Cleveland is looking like the top team of the district.

Behind them, it's tough to tell.  Coldspring has been up and down this year, so they're hard to read. 

The #2 & #3 spots could conceivably go to any combination of Coldspring, Liberty, Shepherd, or Splendora.  Huffman and Tarkington look like they might be on the low end of the totem pole this year...

So wait -- are you telling me that District 22-3A beat District 21-3A...?!?  :'(

And didn't Cleveland beat Silsbee a week or two ago.....?

"Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?!"

"Nobody understand the words comin' at your mouth, man..."

Sorry, just had a little Rush Hour flashback there...

Bailey had 16, Spikes had 7.

Coldspring hit two free throws with 3 seconds left, and Jasper could only get off a desperation heave from half-court that missed at the buzzer.

Wow.  Again, I am so totally impressed.  *yawn*

Liberty will win "The Battle for Sixth Place in 22-3A". 

Let's say, 34-28.

Splendora has beaten Coldspring 3 years in a row and 7 times in the last 9 years.  Should it really be called an upset if they do it again this year...?

How come I don't hear any smack talk from Tarkington?  I thought yall might have something to say about this weeks game.  I guess yall know whats going to happen on friday. I guess I will start in on Coldspring for next week.  Them Injuns gonna whip them boys too. Then finish off Splendora for an unblimished reagular season. Any thoughts on any of this?

Wow.  You're calling out Tarkington.  How mighty you must be.  How about a little smack talk about the powerful Shepherd Pirates that you just ran the score up on?  Surely that's impressive to you, too...

Oh, and it's "unblemished regular", so you can get better scores in English class...
