Here is a very "novel" thought for those seeking to "disprove" the authenticity of the HJ Regional Championship. 1. Congratulations Silsbee for winning the 2008 Regional Tourney in spite of losing 2 of three pre tournament contests to your arch-rival Hardin Jefferson. You proved you were the better team at the time it mattered most. 2. Congratulations HJ for winning the 2009 Regional Tourney in spite of losing 2 of three pre tournament contests to your arch-rival Silsbee. You proved you were the better team at the time it mattered most. Could someone please let me know if there is a lack of logic in those two statements because it seems reasonably compelling to me. That's funny, I haven't seen anybody try to disprove HJ's regional championship. If you are suggesting that McLovin's post is trying to disprove HJ, you are reaching. Oh, and the two statements that you have made are very logical. Just a jab at McLovin regarding another post several weeks ago (not related to any of this) about his methods of "disproving" things. Oh, gotcha. My bad, I'll stay out.

not true... I have to question that remark too, nos. I know that last year's Stafford team I was not impressed with. Silsbee defeated these guys by 20 in the Area round last year. Now I know a year can make a difference(sometimes not even a year, reference Jasper this year :'() but the players Stafford had coming back just did not overwhelmingly impress me. Estacado beat what many believed to be the best team out of Region I, Burkburnett. IMO, Region IV is never that strong in basketball.

KP, I understand why some would be upset with how New Waverly went about winning this game. But, isn't that what a coach is suppose to do? Find a way to win a game, whatever strategy that is. It got them to Austin and that's all that matters. I do know one thing, I am sure glad I wasn't there broadcasting this game. ;D

Yes. I just posted a thread making that announcement.

You need to put Southeast Texas in front of Hardin-Jefferson.

This makes 4 straight years the Region III champ has come from our area. It's also 4 straight years that both regional finalist were Southeast Texas schools. The rest of Class 3A Region III take notice, because it will remain that way for some time.

Congrats to Hardin-Jefferson! You guys have definetly earned your way to Austin. The Hawks had the toughest road to the Final Four in defeating Navasota, Cleveland, Hudson, and a very hot Jasper team. It's a true testament of a well coached and determined team. Congrats again. Now go represent Southeast Texas and Region III and bring back another state title.

The Aggies defeated the Tigers 96-86. A&M led at the half 51-27!! This win should put the 23-8 Aggies in the NCAA regardless of what they do in the conference tourney.

WOW indeed!!! Well, at least one of my teams I predicted to go to Austin came true.
