Even though Woodville shot a dismal 15% from the field, I was very impressed by this Hardin team. The 3 soph. starting guards, Mya Williams, Shanice Williams and Kaylin Harrell, really played well. They played with the composure of senior players. Very Impressive. Also the two junior starters, Tara Jordan and Megan Nichols played very well inside as Nichols had a game high 16 rebounds.Hardin got great bench support from Sr. Samantha Carpenter and Freshman Katelyn Barker, both hitting big three's to give their team a boost. It was just a great overall team effort by the Lady Hornets. Coach Balch did an excellant job. Hardin completely out played Woodville tonight. With only 1 of the Hardin players being a senior, (3 soph., 2 Jr. start) the Lady Hornets should be very potent next year as well. Congrats to Hardin on a very well deserved win.

[quote name="utfan06" post="762354" timestamp="1266550706"] Good to see them focused ahead, But Kountze isnt looking to get another loss on their record... They wanna beat Silsbee and Everyone else the rest of the way to Austin!! Dont think its a just a fun game to the Lions. [/quote] Don't get me wrong, those guys want to win. They will give great effort Saturday night. But they also know what the real goal is. I'll take a loss to Kountze if it means that Silsbee wins the state championship and I think the Tiger team will too. ;)

Last year was the first time since Silsbee has been in 3A that the regional championship didn't go thru Silsbee. '05  Diboll beat Silsbee regional finals '06  WOS beat Silsbee quarters, WOS won the region '07  HJ beat Silsbee in OT regional finals '08  Silsbee won the regional championship '09  Jasper defeated Silsbee in semis, lost to HJ in finals

I spoke to the Tiger coaching staff and a couple of the Tiger starters tonight. They are ready to avenge the loss from earlier in the season. I will say this though, after talking to a couple of the players tonight, it's obvious that their real focus is on Bryan Rudder and the rest of the Region. Kountze is just a fun game to them.
