Todd Shores was on that team also. Remember it well, Hershel Taylor was the coach. You know they did that so they would not get beat so bad.  ;D ;D [/quote]Thank you, Mr. Obvious!  ;) [/quote] ;D ;D ;D

They had unbelieveably tough teams in those years with Coach Peveto @ the helm. [/quote]Thanks a lot!!! Years of therapy down the drain...... BTW, I was talking about basketball.  I mean, I hated OF in football because they always kicked our tails (Buna), but I hated them even more in basketball because they would stall the whole stinking game.  We'd kick their tails, but it was very frustrating.  I mean, you want to get back at them for stompin' us in football, and then you have to chase them all over the court!

I few followed in Bradley's class (1982) but not many. I would say 5 are so stayed backed in the 7th grade. [/quote]Yeah, Clay James and a few others. Gary (or "Bunkie") was funny.  300 pound fieldgoal kicker...... and I swear his head didn't fit in his helmet!!!!  :D [/quote] Too funny!!!! I played against the whole crew also ie: Gunstream, Pence & others. Chuck Bradley & I hash it out from time to time....all in good fun, though. AHHHH back in the day [/quote]What school?  Tell Chuck Bradley that Begnaud in Buna could still hit anything he and his rubber arm could throw!!!! To be honest, I think I was always about 1/2 second behind on his fastball!  Dude could chunk! [/quote] I will tell him. I see him from time to time. I graduated in 1980. I played football and ran track against Jackie Harris. He was a manchild.

By the way the team from 2005 did not win many games in junior high or subvarsity. They key was they kept working hard and proved all the non believers wrong.   [/quote]What about the 2008 team that lost to Navasota in the play-offs... in overtime I think.  Navasota ended up losing to HJ only by a last second put in (think Nederland's K Smith against PNG).  HJ made it to the Regional Finals and lost to Silsbee. That OF team had good fundamentals, great discipline and patience as well.  [/quote] OF girls [/quote] Yes, the Orangefield girls lost to Navasota in OT. Don't remember about the boys. I believe they also lost to Navasota but don't think it was in OT. I know the boys beat Coldspring in bi-district. My point is Orangefield boys basketball program has gotten better but they are not close to the level hardin jefferson is.

His older brother Calvin and my son was on the 2005 team.

Yes, Orangefield has played HJ close this year but the previous 30 years it has not been close. By the way I am from Orangefield. Orangefield has made strides but their little dribbler program is not up to Hardin Jefferson's standards. Someone mentioned fundamentals? You are correct. Respect is earned not gained Wildcatter. The best team Orangefield ever had did not make the playoff's Johnathan Livingston, Kirby Dorman, Austin Farris was a freshmen. You are talking about 6'6 and 6'5 and could play.

54-52 HJ with 1.4 second left.

HJ up by 3 under 2 minutes.
