[/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]  Dont be concerned with that.  Sometimes its advantageous to be lightly regarded.  HJ has been told they were going to lose both of thes last two games convincingly. [/quote] and they also have been told that they were going to win these last two games. ;)

This could be looked upon as David vs. Goliath. 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 name="sleepy" post="976478" timestamp="1299171526"] One thing you don't have to worry about HJ doing is sleeping on anyone.  They may very well get beat but it won't be because they were not prepared and felt challenged. [/quote] I totally agree with that. My comment was not pointed at the players or coaches of HJ, just maybe a few fans.  ;) The "don't sleep on Mexia" is an inside joke from Mexia. ;) ;D

[/quote] Don't sleep on Mexia! ;D [/quote] I am sure it would please you to see Mexia beat the Hawks!!! ;D ;D [/quote] That's where you are wrong. I want HJ in Austin repping 21-3A and keep the streak alive of 21-3A teams in Austin. I certainly do not wish for Mexia to win this game. Yes, I am good friends with a coach there, but I have more and just as close friends(at least I think I do ;)) at HJ.

If Silsbee can play with Ball, Nederland can too. Plus, Nederland has the size to match up with Ball. I think the key is Archie for Ball. He is the one that killed Silsbee, not Petteway or Evans (Petteway only had 8 points against Silsbee). Archie scored 27, going 13-14 from free throw line. I got Ball winning, but a very close one, by 4.

All I know is I am excited about broadcasting this game because three of my favorite coaches will be involved in this one, Coach Andrews and Coach Fontenot of East Chambers and Coach Goffney of New Waverly. Great bunch of guys who I should have made bets with back at the Big Sandy tourney. ;) ;D

[quote name="jeffcoat" post="975299" timestamp="1299087485"] I thought I heard that they play Carthage next week in Jasper. [/quote] They do. Silsbee will play Bmt. Kelly Thursday in the Orangefield tourney, Tyler All Saints Friday (OF tourn.) and Lumberton Saturday (OF tourn.) Silsbee will play Carthage Monday in Jasper followed by Lumberton the next day in Silsbee.

I have 5 tickets plus a Cardinal Club parking pass for anyone interested. Section C, row 13, seats 12-16 (aisle seats) Contact me as soon as possible. I will be leaving town around 3pm to go to Huffman.

bump

Still have my 5 tickets and parking pass to give to anyone. Please let me know soon. I can deliver them by 3pm. After that, I'll be leaving the area for a basketball game tonight.

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="975104" timestamp="1299040920"] Kyle Gilliam was the first player taken, AAW. Just curious why a center was taken first? [/quote] You are correct. It was Gilliam. I beleive 8 of the first 10 players taken were offensive linemen.

If I can go to a team that will allow me to stand in a corner and shoot three's and not have to run back down the floor to play defense, then I am in. ;D

[Hidden Content] Merrill first player taken. Jeremy Johnson first QB taken.
