Sad but true that this goes on more than we would ever know. I even know of coaches texting parents of players with no shame trying to get them to come to their various schools smh. It also brings to light those certain AAU coaches who because they have had a string of top talent come thru their organization believe that they are NBA general managers and are bigger than the rules smh.

This was crazy!  All started because a top player from Duncanville transferred to another school, and was denied eligibility by the UIL so the mother of the player blew the lid off the whole thing by throwing a "move-in" to Duncanville under the bus. Granted the "move-in" and the top player were AAU teammates, the "move-in" came up from San Antonio when her mother got a job with the school district lol. So the mother of the top player for Duncanville was not happy when UIL denied the player eligibility when she transferred so she told on everybody lol.

TABC All State
Jayda Argumon - Woodville
Jordyn Beaty - Woodville
Ashlon Jackson - Hardin Jefferson (one of only 2 Freshman in the State to receive this honor)
Tunisha Strong - Hardin Jefferson

Based on whats in the region that they are in, I would give HJ a legitimate shot at making it to State.  United is in a very tough region. Jersey Village, Cy Creek, Katy, and Atascocita all have a shot with Jersey Village being the favorite to make it out of the region.

Friday 2/15
Channelview High School
6pm Silsbee vs Yates
730pm Hardin Jefferson vs North Forest

Shadow Creek is pretty good! They have a relatively young team, they are just in a very tough district with Hightower (5A #5) Manvel (5A #4) and Richmond Foster (5A #17). They also have a very dynamic Freshman guard (R'Mani Taylor)  who can flat out get buckets! They may "upset" a couple of teams.

HJ Senior Tunisha Strong breaks a 30 year record set in 1989 by Yatisha Bosha to become the all-time leading scorer.  She now sits at 2,952 career points and counting!  She should finish her high school career with over 3,000 points!  What an accomplishment!

Region 3 is a tough one. Jersey Village may be the best in the region, there is also Cy Creek, Summer Creek, Atascocita, and Katy who are all Region 3 contenders.  United may get a test in the 3rd round maybe facing Atascocita.

4A #4 HJ travels to Silsbee to take on the 4A #14 ranked Silsbee Tigers Friday at 630pm.  This should be a very fast paced and exciting game!  Who ya got and why?

Rankings are updated.  
6A Beaumont United #20

HJ has also beaten West Brook 77-40, United beat West Brook 58-39.  In fall ball HJ played at Baytown Sterling against every team in United's district except for United of course, and not one team scored over 20 points against them HJ won every game by 40+.  Including a 73-2 win over LaPorte, now yes its fall ball and it wasnt any coaching but that HJ group is solid.  I would LOVE to see an United vs HJ matchup!  It would be a battle between 2 well coached and talented programs.

Maybe we could get Ashley Elam and Vype to sponsor something like that! Wink Wink!

Woodville was without their big in this game.  She has been out with a concussion.

HJ did a very good job defensively on WB and their bigs.  HJ has a lot of weapons and can score multiple ways.  

Final 
HJ 52 Dobie 47
HJ pulled it out despite lots of foul trouble. Jackson fouled out with almost 2 min left.

4A #8 HJ will begin play in the Gander Tip-Off Classic today @ 330 vs Pasadena Dobie.  HJ is in the same bracket as 6A #4 Summer Creek, 6A #8 Jersey Village and 6A #13 Desoto.  This should be a great tournament! 

Final
HJ 85 Sam Rayburn 24

End of the first quarter score was HJ 28 Rayburn 5
At the half HJ is up 47 to 6
