Bobkat

Orangefield Little Dribblers Senior girls allstar team is looking for games. Any 14U teams interested in getting together please reply to this or IM me on here.
Thanks 

HJ definitely has a great shot at getting there. Of course they've already beat Silsbee twice and Huntington earlier in the year.
Fairfield is solid, but not the caliber of the Lady Hawks. Orangefield played them in the College Station tournament, led the entire game and ended up losing by 4 late.
Not sure about Robinson or N. Forest, but just don't see anyone beating them.
Good Luck Lady Hawks!!!

42 - 25 Lady Bobcats @ half

Congrats to Lady Hawk Tunisha Strong who became the Hardin Jefferson Lady Hawks all time leading scorer.  She had 24 points tonight and her career scoring total now sits at
2,952....  
 
 

He's still very raw, doesn't really have a back to the basket game yet. He does have great feet and very good touch around the basket with a pretty good jump shot. He also might be the best passer on the team. He'll start at high post and does a great job at finding shooters and cutters.
Defensively he's a huge presence, he blocks a ton of shots each game but the number of shots he alters is crazy. Good rebounder and has a great knack of starting the fast break. And of course his ability to dunk is huge in momentum swings during games.

He’s only been playing for 3 years.  Played primarily soccer before that.  Crazy athletic for his size.  His feet and touch around the basket are pretty amazing given his limited exposure to the game.   His vision is really exceptional but I attribute that to soccer - you are used to using your peripheral.   His free throw shooting has improved from around 50 over the summer to mid to high 60s this season.   He’s been working on that as well.
He had 13 (6-6 FGs) & 12 tonight (along with 3 assists, blocks and steals) in 11 minutes of PT.  It’s tough to tell much playing in these types of games.  But I will say that even playing elite bigs around the country, he’s an elite defender.  His knack for blocking shots is pretty special, even if he didn’t have a 7’ wing span.
He will play D1.  Question of how high will depend on his summer.

OF already beat EC in district play 64-34

Fregia is a Junior

Faith Fregia 26 points 
Kylie Elkins 24 points 6 3’s

We're pretty deep this year, especially at the guard position. When our two best guards got in foul trouble, we really didn't miss a beat. That hasn't been the case the past few years.
If we don't make the regional tournament this year, I would consider our season a disappointment.
Good luck to PNG the rest of the year!!!

Orangefield is definitely not the same team as earlier in the year. I don't think people understand the importance of losing a 4 yr varsity starter in Gonzalez, who's also been the starting QB in our system for the last 2-3 years. He knew the offense like the back of his hand and he was a major run threat because of his size and athleticism. QB in our offense is the most important player on the field and losing him has limited what we like to do. He was pretty much the heart and soul of this team and when he went down it just seemed like the kids lost a little fight. They really need to find that spark again and soon.

31-20 OF Final

14-7 Buna @ halftime 

Orangefield 9th - 20
Buna - 8

I'd be surprised if Buna holds us to just 12 points, but I've been wrong before. Like I said earlier this should be a really good football game.

We have a very scrappy team this year. We don't have a ton of speed, and we're not very big, we just have kids that play hard and get after you.
Offensively we have 6 or 7 kids that run the ball, we're still running the old wing or slot T, and we run it pretty well. Ball control is key for us.
Defensively we bend but don't break. 
I think we'll be right in the hunt for one of the top spots in this district. We know it'll be tough, but we're finally competing with teams our size number wise. 

20-7 OF 3:01 left in 3rd

What's so funny, we're not claiming a win as in we made this up. Our kids played a team from Westbrook and we we're curious as to who we played. Nothing more than that.

Yes sir we're running both, we actually have a kid at QB that can throw it a little. We run the Wing T well, but against better teams especially in the playoffs we tend to bog down. This should at least give us more options on offense for moving the ball. So far I like what I've seen the little we've ran it.

Both teams are very similar in that they run the spread, but LCM has a better QB. Our guys played a lot better last night against the spread, LCM coming out last week running no huddle gave us fits, something I didn't see coming and I don't believe our kids and coaches did either and we never adjusted to it. Last night our secondary played really well, had a pick six and just seemed to be better prepared to face that type of offense.
LCM will go as their QB goes, he's hard to tackle in space and he'll give teams fits all year. But not sure he has enough weapons around him to out score teams each week cause that's what they'll have to do to win games. Lumberton has some big boys, QB was up and down. He did score their only touchdown on a zone read keeper that faked everyone out, but he struggled passing the ball. It'll be interesting when these two teams meet, but right not I would have to give LCM the slight edge.
 

Say Coach T retires this year or within the next 3-5 years, is there anyone on the current staff that can keep the Stangs tradition of winning alive? Cause if they were to go outside the program for a coach, how long would it take for the program to become just normal, or does that mindset of what it takes to be a Stang just carry over regardless of who's calling the shots. I personally believe an outsider regardless of his pedigree would have a hard time keeping the Stangs on an Elite level. They're going to want to do their own thing, and run their program the way they see fit. I just think WOS would have a big drop off, don't get me wrong they would still field some great teams, but state championship teams I just don't know.
