[quote name="Bobcat05" post="977148" timestamp="1299210374"] The girls coach was there one year!!  ::) [/quote] That was just a temporary situation. He came out of retirement to coach just this one year. He was just a part time employee with the school district. They are now searching for a full time coach/educator.

Don't sleep on Mexia! ;) ;D

Attended the game tonight. I will stick to my prediction from a couple of months ago. Jeremy Johnson WILL be the starting QB for Lamar this season. I left at the end of 3rd quarter. Who ended up winning, white or red?

[quote name="bulldog81" post="977101" timestamp="1299208231"] Why does this show Nederland's game time as 5:45, when everywhere else is listing it as 6:00? [/quote] Tip is 6pm, broadcast time will start at 5:45. TSRN will have the broadcast.

[quote name="InStitches" post="977072" timestamp="1299206885"] are you sure they are looking for a new girls coach too [/quote] The girls and boys head basketball jobs are open at HF.

IMO, this will be Hj's toughest test yet. [/quote] I haven't seen Mexia play, but based on how they beat Hudson a lot worse than HJ did, it appears the Hawks more than have their work cut out for them.  [/quote]Yeah, I remember that game.... HJ was flat, one of their flattest games of the year (except, of course, for the Nederland game). But remember, a week ago Cleveland "made a statement" with a blowout of 40 points against who, Coldspring? The funny thing about those blowouts is, the next game still starts at 0-0. [color=blue][font=Verdana][font=Verdana][size=12pt][b][i]Hawks, it's time to soar, Baby!!!![/i][/b][/size][/font][/font][/color] [/quote] Cleveland did not beat Coldspring by 40. It was Smithville in the Area round.

Looking over the rosters, Mason has two players '6"1, 1 player '6"0, the rest '5"10 or smaller. Evadale has a '6"7, two '6"4's, and two guards in the '6"2-'6"3 range. This will definitely be a case of Evadale wanting to use it's height advantage inside versus Mason's ability to shoot outside. Mason doesn't press much and play a slower more deliberate style, keeping the scores in the range of the mid 40's to mid 50's. There last game was a 38-33 win over #5 ranked Falls City. Interesting to see which team will be able to impose their will in this one. [/quote] I think aggie meant Evadale beat #5 Milano.  Falls City was unranked and so is Mason. Matter of fact no one team at the Region IV meet is ranked in the top 25 [/quote] Yes, Milano was ranked #5, my bad. But I was speaking of Mason and their 38-33 win over Falls City.

[quote name="dogs1218" post="976779" timestamp="1299187705"] Bad week... Trying to stay at the top.. Hey Scooter, whats going on with you? Waiting around the back for everybody to fade late? Or do you have a good stretch run?  :D [/quote] He better go 15-0 and have everyone bomb since these are the last pick'ems. Next week will be a state tourney bracket challenge.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="976750" timestamp="1299186252"] [quote author=BADSANTA link=topic=81214.msg976720#msg976720 date=1299184643] HJ won't win state but they will go back. Silsbee was the only team that could beat them. Sealy could pose a problem for them as well with all that size, but I like HJ's chances. [/quote] The size Sealy has is no different then the size that Cleveland has. [/quote] Sealy is a little bigger overall, but I agree that the two are comparable.

I just don't see where people are disrespecting Nederland. Is picking Ball to win not showing respect to Nederland? I can see if folks were making claims that Nederland has "no chance" or will get "beat down", but I haven't seen these remarks. I totally respect what Coach English and the Bulldogs have accomplished, not only this season but last year as well. But if I am being labeled as "disrespectful" or "showing no respect" because I pick Ball to win by 4 points or less over Nederland, then I don't know what to say about that. ::)

One was your son-in-law. ;) [/quote] I remember that - I also remember some of the Silsbee folks making that very same statement after the Jasper loss.  Is it safe to assume that you totally agree that the best teams are still playing? [/quote] I remember that as well. I was one of those Tiger fans. ;) I do not agree. Sometimes the better team does not win in 1 game situations. I thought that HJ was the better team in 2008, Silsbee the better team in 2009.

[quote name="bullets13" post="976645" timestamp="1299181598"] No, Cleveland and Silsbee were the BEST BASKETBALL TEAMS IN THE REGION.  The fact that HJ beat Cleveland or that Silsbee was upset by Sealy doesn't change that fact.   The reason that HJ was an underdog to make it to Austin was because Cleveland and Silsbee were in their way.  Those two teams are no longer in the way, and although HJ has a VERY tough opponent tomorrow, I'd much rather see them play Mexia than Silsbee or Cleveland again.   Two of the reasons that Nederland was an underdog to make it to Austin were Ball and LaMarque.  Those two teams are STILL in the way of Nederland, meaning Nederland is STILL an underdog.  Yes, they've had a nice run, but they still have to beat probably the two best teams they've played all year to get to state.  It has nothing to do with pedigree.  It has everything to do with the remaining opponents in their way. [/quote] Very well stated.

[quote name="bullets13" post="976647" timestamp="1299181682"] any word on who BlueDove will be picking as his replacement??? [/quote] I am hearing that mammagotjuice will be the area's first woman head boys basketball coach. ;) Assistants will be Penny Hardaway and Walter Yates Sr., with consulting from Greg Wise of Houston Yates.

Per HoopInsider: "According to sources close to Hamshire-Fannett ISD, Colby Richards will not be retained as head basketball coach. He will remain with the school district." I have followed up on this with a phone call and it is confirmed.

[/quote] HJ is having a great season, no doubt. THE top team in the area...come on! Silsbee beat them twice, Nederland, Central, and LC-M(?) also beat them. They are a solid team, but not better than Silsbee or Nederland (regardless the fact that Silsbee is already out-they beat them twice!) [/quote] Abe, you are probably right but I am betting  they are more improved over the past 3 weeks than anyone else in this area. [/quote] I'm NOT going to argue with that! After their win last night, I'm on board...Unlike AAW and Soulja NOT being on board w/Nederland. Come on guys...what's it going to take??? [/quote] Everyone is pulling for Nederland, but they are still going to be underdogs the rest of the year.  Now that Cleveland and Silsbee are gone, HJ is actually a favorite to get to state. [/quote] R U sure about that?  Wouldnt it be logical to think that perhaps Sealy is now the favorite by virtue of beating a team that went 2-0 against HJ? [/quote] Don't sleep on Mexia! ;D

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="976627" timestamp="1299180378"] HJ is just too good! I don't think this game will be close. HJ 84 Mexia 63 [/quote] I think HJ wins this one too. (I am pulling for the Hawks). But, if you are giving 20+, I'll take Mexia for another grand. ;D (of course, what do you have to lose, you haven't paid the first grand yet) ::)
