Dobbins fouled at the beginning of 4th, Holmes fouled out at 5:33 mark of 4th, Reed at the 3 minute mark 4th. With Silsbee's leading scorer (Holmes) and the only two post players the Tigers have (Dobbins and Reed), Silsbee was really hamstrung that 4th quarter. Also, Gaines had to play the entire 4th Q with 4 fouls after picking up his 4th early in the 3rd. Hawks took full advantage of the short handed Tigers. Officiating was very fair. No issues what so ever. Very good job. Hawks earned this victory by making their last 10 free throw attempts and going 16/18 from the line in the 2nd half. [/quote] Yeah Kelton had to step out of the way on a few easy buckets for the Hawks in the fourth,  may not have been able to stop them anyway but couldn't contest them. [/quote] Yep. Kelton had to play that "ole'" defense several times in the 4th quarter.

[/quote] Best for the administration, far less headache. It's a nightmare for each school's admin to host this game.

[quote name="bullets13" post="1168858" timestamp="1328053007"] pretty mad.  my buddy was supposed to be at my house at 4 to leave.  called him at 4:02, he didn't answer, then called him again at 4:06 and he wanted me to pick him, which put me leaving beaumont at 4:25 when i could've left by myself at 3:50.  didn't get out to HJ until 4:55, and now i'm back home.  [b]thinking about hitting him[/b]. [/quote] I would say that is enough reason to.

[quote name="PoppaBearstarr" post="1168729" timestamp="1328042062"] No I have never seen the vegas odds on 21 3A at all..... ::) [/quote] Never said anything about 21-3A and Vegas. I just spoke of any higher ranked team at any level. Where were your complaints a week ago when I had Evadale the favorite at home over Big Sandy who at the time was ranked #12 in state and #3 in our rankings compared to Evadale's #23 state ranking and #6 SETXsports? You had no problem making that pick without a complaint. ::) It's not the first time this season that a higher ranked team was the underdog in the pickem contest. ;)

[quote name="PoppaBearstarr" post="1168720" timestamp="1328041372"] How is Silsbee ranked ahead of HJ locally and at the state level but are a 4 point favorite...HMMM...creative accounting. [/quote] So you are saying you never heard or seen a Vegas line that had a higher ranked team(in this case by 1 spot) an underdog on the road? ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

[quote name="geezer" post="1168715" timestamp="1328040908"] It would have been nice to get a home game, but I am happy with the outcome.  GM is a quality program and will becoming to Beaumont next year I believe (it might be another year or two).  If our attendance numbers were higher then I think we could get a home game easier and possibly a tv game in a few years assuming this bracket busters format continues. [/quote] With Lamar going on the road this year, LU gets to host a BracketBuster game next season.

Nice article!
