Lee College would be better though.

Aggies, plain and simple, the better team. A&M never should have lost to tu in Austin.

All HJ has to do is defeat Cleveland and you'll hear LAZEEK on the mic at the regional tourney, that's a promise.

That's a very good win for Hudson. Lorena is tough.

99.9% sure that the HJ/Cleveland game will be at Crosby Monday night. Stats are coming up, hang with me bullets. I had to make a stop at Papadeaux's to get my fill of oysters.

Due to zero Verizon internet service in the Willis gym, SETXsports will not be able to broadcast the HJ/Navasota gym tonight. You can listen to the Navasota radio broadcast at www.navasotanews.com Sorry for the inconvience. We will try and update as much as we can.

[quote name="20" post="767155" timestamp="1267214148"] You are correct.  Zone pressing and trapping all over the floor for 32 min. and pushing the ball on offense IS running.  I loved watching those teams play!  [/quote] and this is what Silsbee has faced from Hardin-Jefferson and Kountze, year in and year out. Rudder's pressure was nothing new to Silsbee.

Looking forward to broadcasting this game tonight. It's the broadcast debut of LAZEEK tonight!! This should be fun!

Silsbee actually missed 22 free throws last night. ;) I believe the Tigers will get it straightened out.

I admit that the pressure and pace that Rudder applied caused several of Silsbee's turnovers, but to say it affected their free throw shooting, is a reach. I went back over some of Rudder's boxscores and in both wins and losses, teams shot descent from the line against Rudder. Silsbee had their worst free throw shooting night of the season last night, and it wasn't because of what Rudder did. Like another poster stated, Kountze applied as much pressure against Silsbee last Saturday as what Rudder did last night, and Silsbee shot 65% from the line against Kountze and not the 35% from last night. It was just one of those bad foul shooting nights for the Tigers.

[quote name="Bucof2010" post="767076" timestamp="1267205876"] Why would you not play here lol [/quote] Trust me, I tried. Nothing wrong with PAM facility, but Ozen and EC is setup better to broadcast from.

[quote name="utfan06" post="767038" timestamp="1267199113"] Im predicting only Kountze and Silsbee will be left after area..... Maybe H-J ;D [/quote] Out of all the area teams or just the Hardin County teams?

Just got the text from Travis. Silsbee will play WOS at PAM, Monday night @ 7pm.

One player experiencing cramps late in the game does not represent the whole team as in what kind of shape they are in. ::) Blue always the hater.

[quote name="SETEXFan" post="766976" timestamp="1267187521"] Bottom line AJ did not like Phillips, his position coach, who is now the OC.  Quit trying to make stuff up about him being released for other reasons.  He did not like it there, quit going to class, handled it wrong and now will have to fight to make his way back to Div. 1 football, if he wants to play again.  Being released for a bat and gun is not true.  [b]You wanted to know what happened, there it is in a nutshell.  A personality conflict that could not be resolved. [/b] The kid will move forward despite what the people in Kountry Kitchen have to say about him. [/quote] And I suppose we are just to take your word on it. Yea right. ::) There are three sides to every story. Side A, side B and usually somewhere in the middle, the truth. ;)

I would definitely prefer Ozen, East Chambers or even Evadale over PAM from a broadcasters perspective.

Rudder boys don't go down easy in playoff debut E-mail to a friend Printer friendly version Published Friday, February 26, 2010 12:00 AM By RICHARD CROOME [email protected] THE WOODLANDS -- Rudder's introduction to the UIL playoffs was short, but it didn't lack for excitement. Fourth-ranked Silsbee overcame an early Ranger lead then hung on for dear life to fend off the breakneck style of Rudder for a 62-61 victory in the Class 3A area playoffs Thursday at College Park High School. The District 21-3A champion Tigers advance to play West Orange-Stark in the Region III quarterfinals. After making the playoffs in just its second year, the Rangers finish the season at 21-8. "I couldn't be more proud of them," Rudder head coach Chris Jones said of his Rangers. "They fought to the very end. Silsbee is the best, most gifted team we have faced all year." After trailing by as many as 15 points late in the third quarter, the Rangers picked up an already torrid pace to chip away at Silsbee's lead. Reginal Lawson hit a long 3 to pull the Rangers within 56-49 with a little over 3 minutes left. During the possession the Tigers also lost their point guard and leading rebounder D.C. Stallworth, who fell to the sideline with cramps in both calves. Silsbee played only eight players. Rudder's Semaj McGruder cut Silsbee's lead to five on a fastbreak layup, and after a free throw by Silsbee's Prentice Lane, Dominique Robison drove for another basked to cut the lead to 57-53 with 1:08 left. Lane made perhaps the play of the game with a steal and a basket, but Marquis Taylor kept Rudder's chances alive with a 3 at the 0:36 mark. After a timeout, the Rangers fouled 6-foot-7 Kendrick Jones, who made the second of two free throws. Taylor pulled the Rangers within two on a follow of a Michael Jones miss. Rudder then used its last timeout and was forced to foul with 8 seconds left after Michael Jones came within inches of stealing the inbound pass. Silsbee had hit just 8 of 32 free throws at the time, but Kelton Gaines hit both to give Silsbee a 62-58 lead. Robison hit a 3 at the buzzer for the final points. Trailing 39-30 at halftime, the Rangers missed a big opportunity to get back in it in the third quarter. The Rangers caused six turnovers in the first 5 minutes of the period but couldn't take advantage at the other end, missing their first six free throws and going 1 of 9 from the field to open the second half. "We just didn't get a shot to go," Chris Jones said. "Shots we normally make we just couldn't make tonight. "It happens to you, and unfortunately it happened tonight. They are a very good team and you have to make shots against a good team." Rudder was led Robison with 14 points. Taylor and McGruder each added 13. Taylor was hampered in the second quarter with two quick fouls. Lane paced the Tigers with 14, while Hill made 13, despite going 3 of 10 from the line, and Kendrick Jones and Stallworth each had 12. Hill had two big buckets late in the first half, going all the way after steals on consecutive Rudder possessions. He also had a three-point play to give Silsbee its first lead at 21-19 since the opening minute. Hill's baskets helped the Tigers to a 27-11 difference in the second quarter. "We had to rotate out [on the press] and burned a little bit more of our gas than we are used to burning and it played a big part in the second quarter," Jones said. "We really hadn't played a team with as many good players as they have and defensively we like to scramble and trap a lot and its tough to do when they have so many good players to come at you with. It was tough on us so we had to buckle down and play some good half-court defense and I think we did." The Rangers' pace out of the gate appeared to bewilder Silsbee. The Rangers caused nine first-quarter turnovers and led 19-12 at the end of the first eight minutes. The Rangers scored the last seven points of the quarter, two on free throws by Robison, two on an easy bucket by McGruder off a feed from Jones, and then a free throw by Jamie Anderson and a bucket at the end by Anderson. "We were able to keep the game uptempo early and then we had a stretch where we just couldn't make shots and we couldn't get into our press," Jones said. Coach added he hopes the Rangers, a team of with no seniors, will take a lot of things from their first experience in the postseason. "You can't ask for anything better than this playoff atmosphere," Jones said. "We drew one of the top teams in the state and you go out and compete and see what you're made. We definitely left it all out there and I'm proud of the kids. Silsbee is top notch and has the makeup to win it all. But we proved tonight that we're pretty darn good ourselves."
