They got their revenge and they played a great game! I'm looking forward to our next two trips in 2012 & 13. Today is the Mats day though and I hope those fans party as much as we did last year. [/quote] Already making a prediction for 2 years down the road?

[quote name="Swag" post="776013" timestamp="1268408791"] I hope they lose. They're there but don't deserve to be there. Just like Silsbee, I think all they wanna do is beat Hj. New Waverly just cares about beating Ktz and Silsbee just cares about Hj. After that, they forget how to play Basketball. I bet ya Ktz and Hj wouldve been playing on Saturday!!! [/quote]With all due respect to HJ they wouldn't of beat Madison in my opinion. But thats not here nor there the reason these teams lose at state is because its the STATE tournament the best teams in the state are there. Silsbee played lights out yesterday they just lost to a better team on that given day.

You don't embarrass high school kids by beating them 170-35 how is Lee's coach suppose to have his team step it up when Yates 15th guy is probably better than Lees best player. When you don't have it you don't have it this isnt college or the pros. Pros everyone gets a pay check if you blow someone out so be it. High school hardly the same case. People keep saying well the other team needs to play better well the other team doesn't have the top kids from all around Houston the other teams don't have Divison 1 players coming out their arse.

eat crow? What did you expect them to say we have no chance. I personally knew Cayuga would win easy but I guarantee you if Im a Spurger fan I would of thought for sure we had a chance. I agree no way you should eat crow for believing in your kids. Keep your head up Cayuga is probably going to go down as one of the best 1a teams of all time.

[quote name="irst" post="775251" timestamp="1268329033"] how were the refs??? [/quote] They lost by 34 even if the refs were bad would it really matter.

[quote name="westend1" post="775254" timestamp="1268329141"] Hey, that's what happens when you get a couple of D1 athletes on a 1A team.  Plus, i hear they have some height as well. [/quote] They actually have 6 if you count FCS schools.

Anybody can play the we played bad card but Aggiesarewe bottom line is you picked a 20 point game and you were obviously wrong not that it matters but still just saying. I really don't think you can argue those charges neither team could really have any complaints about the officiating. I just hope Silsbee can represent region 3 well at state they have a real solid team.

Going strictly off tonight Ill take Silsbee by about 8 but thats just from one night.

[quote name="whsalum" post="771972" timestamp="1267854710"] I like to see a kid try and make a play at that point of the game rather than go hide.The post play between him and Ricossa had been a war all night,that was a fitting end to a good high school ballgame. [/quote] Yea Tevin has nothing to be ashamed of him Willie (15) and Ladarius (22 i think) were the heart and soul of Fairfield basketball for the last 3 years were going to miss those guys bad. I just kind of wish that would of been a no call because pushing was going both ways.

[quote name="whsalum" post="771967" timestamp="1267854228"] Was a great game to watch.Had to feel for the Green kid on the offensive foul at the end,he was just trying to make a play.Good basketball played there tonight. [/quote] I honestly thought he was getting pushed by the HJ player just as much he just made his more obvious.

[quote name="FanintheStands" post="771953" timestamp="1267853211"] I'd love to know what Fairfield's shooting percentage was on the night.  They seemed to hit something like 60% from the field.  And they were very solid on defense.  How many offensive charges did they draw?!?  Good game. [/quote] Best we had shot from the field all year I was so proud of how clutch some of our shooting was when you play a program like Hardin Jefferson you have to step your game up and we did ]. Always a good defense but the offense was a lot better shooting wise at least just too many turnovers which you can attribute a lot of to great defense. I dont know how many times we got stripped by the quick hands of yalls defense.

I guess who ever wrote that article didn't read this board.

Great game from a visitor on the board. I'm glad we exceeded the expectations most (including Fairfield people gave us) We just had way too many turnovers and a terrible offensive foul at the end (not a terrible call a terrible play) Great game played by both teams though good luck to yall tomorrow against Silsbee. Class program run over there at Hardin Jefferson reminds me a little bit of a 3a version of Ponder.

But in this particular game, HJ is far from being the underdog. My source in Fairfield is very reliable, he has seen both HJ and Fairfield play. He agrees that HJ will blow out Fairfield. [/quote] If your talking about Eagle Eye he just moved to Fairfield this year. He was talking about being at the Mexia game on here but on another board he posted a score update (wrong score also)that he recieved via text message. So takeit for what it is worth.

[/quote] You haven't seen me on the downlow since Sept because of that cry baby of a mod over there, WOS87, banned me. [/quote] I didnt know that what did you do say WOS wasn't the greatest team ever? One time that guy tried to tell me Gilmer was better than Carthage after Carthage beat Gilmer in the playoffs just because Gilmer was higher in his "power rankings".

Ive seen him on the 3adownlow board so I know what he is a big Silsbee guy don't worry lol.

[/quote] Fairfield is not that good. Came from a weak district. They like to play deliberate ball, but HJ will force the tempo and this will end up a blowout. [/quote] Must of won some games outside of district to get here.

Seems like we have been getting the Hardin Jefferson treatment going into this game (we don't have a good chance of winning) I know one thing with all the talk about Silsbee or whatever we won't sneak up on HJ they have been in this situation how many years in a row? Looking ahead is for fans but you don't run the program the Hawks have by looking ahead. I know HJ will have our full attention I have nothing but respect for this way and although I can't speak for our coaches and players I am almost certain that they fill the same way. This isn't our most talented team we have ever put on the floor but this is just one of those teams that finds ways to win (bad shooting night, too many turnovers) we have been finding a way all year. As much respect as I have for HJ I expect us to play well we have been on the court with several big name historic programs the last 2 years with this core of players so I don't expect them to be overwhelmed. I think it will be a good game. Obviously HJ is the favorite and we have to step our game way up but anything can happen once you get to regionals.

[quote name="Eagle Eyes" post="770363" timestamp="1267675486"] [quote author=FairfieldEagles5 link=topic=66748.msg770267#msg770267 date=1267668722] First off Eagle eye thanks for coming on and giving people a scouting report on our team. I realize it doesn't really matter because HJ's coaches already have one but why? Im not going to come on here and be a homer because Hardin Jefferson will be a favorite for sure but to say we have no chance is a stretch. I know our coaching staff and these kids all very well and for you to make it sound like we are only in Huntsville because of a weak district or a weak draw is trash. Did you become a member of this board just to trash our team and say we have no chance what is the point in that? This team is in Huntsville for a reason they work their butts off all year and fought through adversity to get here. Have we caught some breaks sure we have but who hasn't? We lost one of our top players and top offensive weapons to being a discipline problem and we fought through that to make it here. If you want to pick Jefferson thats fine eagle eye but to try to act like our kids our only where they are because of a lucky district is crap. [/quote] Dude chill out. I have seen FF play and I know HJ very well. I have seen HJ play numorous times. and I can honestly say FF will get beat. If you think that the district FF plays in is stronger than 21-3A than you are misguided. FF would have finished behind WOS in that district. Sorry but the truth hurts sometimes. [/quote]When did I ever say that our district was tougher than 21-3A?

Lol I wouldn't call us a "big" team by any means.
