$$Buckets$$

You know I was gonna say Cooper. I think that Dill can be put in the scorer category if you consider her role on the team. And yes indeed Wilkerson is a BUCKET.

I agree! Priddy does have a nice looking stroke. I just considered her to be more of a scorer tho.

Class act move by the Lumberton Lady Raiders and Coach Sanders after the game!  The generosity shown by the girls to help one of our families was cool to watch!
At the end of the day, we are all playing a game!  Our area is full of great folks who band together when things get tough!

HJ's ability to defend the perimeter is top notch and was the difference in the game.  Their help man defense gave the Jasper guards a lot of problems, not at first but eventually HJ imposed their will and was forcing Jasper to work very hard for every point.  Jasper so far had been doing a very good job of neutralizing opponents guard play with their pressure and trapping defense but trying to do that to HJ is a completely different task.  HJ did a very good job of making sure that the ball always went thru their best decision maker (Jackson) and she always made the best play whether it was her scoring or finding an open teammate, which is what makes her a nightmare to defend.  HJ also got huge contributions from Henry (5 threes) and was led in scoring by the Freshman Beavers (18pts and over 10 rebs) who really grew up that game.  I loved watching #14 for Jasper (Scott?) she did a wonderful job while she was in the game controlling pace and she was relentless offensively.  I would have loved to see Jasper go man and try their luck with that because they definitely have the athleticism to do so especially when HJ went to their spread offense.  I would love to see a rematch of these 2, hopefully we get it at regionals! 

Great showing tonight from the Lady Hawks with UConn in attendance! Now I’m really looking forward to their matchup with Jasper Saturday.

HJ has played the TOUGHEST schedule in the area.  Their losses have been to teams who all can make deep playoff runs in 5a or 6a and they have a loss to a top 10 state ranked and nationally ranked team from California.  
I would put United ahead of Jasper not based off wins and losses but because of body of work,  United has played the tougher schedule.  I kinda look at it from the standpoint of....what would United and HJ's record be if they played Jasper's schedule and vice versa.  No diss to Jasper because they are legit but just a thought.  Cant wait to see the matchup on Saturday!

I've seen Jasper and of course United in person.  Hopefully,  I'll get a chance to see H-J.  Lots of talk about that guard.

Today will be a good matchup against 5A #3 Cedar Park.  

Great job Coach on what you are doing with Jasper!  I am really looking forward to your matchup with HJ on Jan 4th.

HJ defeats 5A Sharpstown 63-19. 

Good win vs a team with a very highly touted Freshman thats already a Baylor commit and a post player thats highly recruited as well.  Nice way to get it done!  I love the schedule that Coach Brown has United playing, it will definitely pay off.

HJ 49
SA Reagan 63
Final 
Game was a 5-9 point game most of the way. Jackson sat out of game for precautionary reasons from last night. The other girls stepped up and played well. Just wasn't enough. 
Play tomorrow at 8am vs. either Converse Judson or Laredo United 

HJ is 0-2 so far.  Against 6A #8 Austin Westlake they were only down about 5 or 6 in the 3rd, then Jackson went down with a injury scare and sat out the rest of the game.  They also played well against a very good 6A SA O'Conner team which featured a very fun matchup between Jackson and SA O'Conner's Carleigh Wenzel (they had 28 and 32 points respectfully). On a side note tho SA O'Conner shot 40 free throws (29-40) to only 8 from HJ (3-8)!  I love the fact that HJ is not afraid to play against the best competition that Texas has to offer.  Today they take a very tough SA Reagan team who features a 6'4 kid that is an absolute beast and a 6'1 Freshman that is already committed to Baylor, so should be a fun day.  HJ is definitely getting prepared to make another State run.

Watch out for Woden this year.  Hannah Hawkins from Livingston is there and she will definitely light up the division!  14 points in this one and she hasnt been acclimated to the offense yet.  I expect a big year from her.

She was pretty solid.  She had ups and downs during the game dealing with HJ's length but she responded well and was a true pg.
