I would also like to say congrats to all the girls. Now it is the coaches turn. The coaches in 21-3A have made a mockery of the all districts picks. 42 girls got a award, that is every starter on every team. If you are going to give that many awards out why not go a little further and give every kid something. Not trying to take anything away from the girls who got something. Just think it should be the MVPS then 6 on first team, 6 on second team and 6 honorable mention. The coaches from 21-3A need follow the lead of the 23A coaches.

Now this is what a all district team should look like, Not watered down. Good job coaches, I know nothing about the picks so i cannot comment on that but the numbers are awesome.

Lumberton 49 Orangefield 44

Great season Lady bobcats keep your heads held high. Lots to be proud of.

Liberty won game two 25-22. :(

Liberty won first game 25-20. :(

[quote name="Sammy" post="1321474" timestamp="1352213299"] Should make for a boring game unless your John Madden.... Run up the middle Run up the middle Run up the middle Run up the middle Run up the middle Run up the middle Weakest tackeling team will lose. Can somebody answer me this....Why do coaches nowdays teach stripping the football as opposed to tackeling the man with the Ball? [/quote] Because they watch to much professional football. Tackling is a lost art.

[quote name="JSnipes" post="1321152" timestamp="1352160047"] Orangefield made it to the Regional Quarter Finals in 2008. That played H-F. That was the year there was not District 23-3A so when they beat Liberty in the first round, they had a second round bye and automatically advanced to the third round. OF has a great team this year. [/quote] Thanks Snipe, did not know that. That is some great motivation for them to go farther and I think they will. Great post.

So proud of these lady bobcats, they have already made history in being the first team to win a district championship in volleyball at Orangefield. Someone correct me if I am wrong but probably the first team to make the regional quarter finals. Don't stop there lady bobcats, show Liberty what you are made of and then show the teams at the regional tournament.  "We Believe" in you ladies.  On another note really proud of HJ also. I am sure those girls made history at HJ also.

[quote name="Txdragon" post="1318623" timestamp="1351962955"] Just wondering..is this the First time these two have played at seasons end with playoff spot on the line? [/quote] Someone correct me if I am wrong but I want to say the last 3 years have been like that. Some of those years points were involved.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1317892" timestamp="1351911428"] Total domination by WOS! Future State 3A Champs! [/quote] Well Badsanta more state championships then Silsbee and you cant take that to the bank.

I know they used too but heard they don't anymore. [/quote] THAT is the key...or get a couple of superstar move-ins.  You can have all the great athletes you want, but that doesnt mean much if they have not honed their BB skills for several years.  Not having a strong youth program puts you way behind and that just perpetuates itself. [/quote] Could not agree more.

Don't get me wrong basketball will always be my favorite but I am glad people are getting excited about other girl sports. Thats for you tjcfan08. ;D

[quote name="Big V" post="1297795" timestamp="1350058217"] I will be rootin for HJ but just seeing the excitement in my daughters eyes this week talking about the game is what makes it all worth while. Good luck to both teams and GO HJ! Hawk Hecklers will be out in full force tonight. [/quote] I really like this post. Because HJ has not been good in volleyball for a long time. Glad to see HJ is excited in something besides basketball. Those girls deserve that.  The same can be said about Orangefield also. Glad to see these two programs succeed.
