AggiesAreWe

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.

The HJ basketball team just arrived!!!!!

Okay, were about to tipoff and the crowd has grown to an eye popping 500 people!!!

There's 10 minutes till tipoff and there's maybe 350 people here at Johnson Coliseum.

TV??? It will be right here on SETXsports.com, which is much better than TV!!! ;D

I am sitting courtside at press row and will give updates of this game. A little perk for being a broadcaster of SETXsports. ;D

WOW!! Didn't think they would lose.

Will do my best to keep it from sounding too slanted. ;D

This next week. March 12-14. SETXsports will be there!

I do believe that is how it went down. He had put it originally on the Silsbee side then over corrected it on the Jasper side. When Silsbee hit the three to go up 21-18, the scoreboard showed 21-21. That's when Stubblefield hit his three and they just left the score remain as is.

I haven't had time to listen to my replay of the broadcast. I will go over it when I get home Sunday and see if I can find the errors. I was asked by some folks at the scoring table at halftime if I could listen to the replay of the first half, but we don't have that capabilities, YET, with our broadcast. I would of have to end the broadcast and start all over.

Heck with the calls, it seemed to those of us sitting where we were that they were not even putting scores on the board. Early on, Silsbee had 4 points, made a two, and the scoreboard never changed. Then, later Jasper made a three, and the board did not change. Jasper coach appealed, but after a long discussion, didn't get the points. Were they THAT bad on the score-keeping, or did we miss something? In the words of Charles Barkley, "That scoreboard operator is tuurruble, just tuurruble!"

As the famous ring announcer Michael Buffer would say, " Let's get ready to rumblllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllle!!!!!!!!! I am proud to be bringing you the broadcast of these two fine schools as the Hardin-Jefferson Hawks will take on the Jasper Bulldogs in tonight's class 3A Region III Regional final at Johnson Coliseum on the campus of Sam Houston State University. The Hawks come in to this game after a hard fought win over the Lufkin Hudson Hornets, 54-51, and have now made their third straight trip to the regional finals. Jasper on the other hand is experiencing something they have never seen before as they got their biggest win in school history last night, defeating Silsbee 62-60 in the Dawgs first ever regional tourney game. Some say the experience of the coaching staff and players for HJ gives the Hawks an over whelming advantage but that was the case last night when Jasper faced the Tigers. This should be another exciting game and broadcast just like the two semifinal games were last night. Broadcast time will start at 6:10 with tipoff at 6:30. Listen in on another exciting broadcast of SETXsports and catch all the action right here as HJ and Jasper battle to see who gets to make that trip to The Drum in Austin and represent Region III and Southeast Texas. Good luck to both teams tonight and I am looking forward to another great game. Mike Sanchez, Tiger Sports and SETXsports.com broadcaster
