I wouldn’t say they are going the wrong direction just because they lose to OF. OF is 19-8. LCM does play silsbee on Tuesday.
It’s more the score I guess than the loss. To lose by 20 to Orangefield is pretty tough but to only score 32 makes me think I probably have them overrated again this year
-
What’s going on with LCM? Just curious if they have any injuries? I saw them earlier in the season and they looked pretty good. They seem to be going the wrong direction

True. But my big eyes was cause of how close the game was. With Anahuac s length and athleticism it should not of been this close
Anahuac has been extremely inconsistent. Warren just hasn’t been very good.

A coach who wants to keep the trust of his locker room will. I don't know any greats that I've studied or gotten advice from who never have. As coaches, we are human not God and will make mistakes or decisions that cost games. It happens, we're not perfect 🤷🏾♂️
By this statement I gotta believe you think the coach made a huge mistake in his substitutions. This isn’t the first or second time I’ve seen that this season. If you’re making these moves 24 games into a season you aren’t comfortable with your starters. The times I’ve seen HF they look like world beaters against weak clubs but they disappear in big moments of tight games against better teams. Luckily for them there are several pretty weak clubs coming up on their schedule.

HJ does look like they’re on a different level than everyone else in that district though.
They are clearly the best club in the district if everyone is healthy.

HJ will beat Livingston with absolutely no problems. They almost lost to HFs second string players at home and was dominated by HF just last week. Like I said I have no idea why he sat all his starters that long, but it cost them the game. HF had multiple chances to win that game last night, their guys just couldn't knock down tough shots down the stretch late to seal the game and allowed Livingston to stay around and get the lead late in the 4th. But defensively they caused a lot of Livingston turnovers with the press and full court man, just couldn't capitalize on them at a high % like the starters do. They literally had 3 chances within 20 seconds to hit a 3 to tie it 🤷🏾♂️. They played hard and gave Livingston all they could handle. HJ crushing Livingston with their press period.
If it’s all the same to you I’m gonna keep my opinion. You’ve struggled this year with yours lol

HF is the only team anywhere near the same level as HJ in this district. HJ has no threat outside of HF in the coming weeks and even if they fall to HF in the second meeting, they will not lose to anyone else and still be champs. Fixing whatever that was last night and getting prepared for the playoffs should be their focus right now. The district championship is pretty much HJs now.
I disagree with part of that statement. Livingston is very capable of beating anyone at their place. I gotta admit I’m surprised that Livingston looks to be better than Huffman this year. The key hasn’t changed, take care of home court and steal one on the road to win it.

As a coach I can say why he clearly pulled them at the beginning. They came out a little flat on both ends, but as far as the whole game and all 5? I have no idea at all. Keep in mind they were on a 6 game win streak with those 5 starters. None of them know what happened or why after the initial pull.
If all 5 starters got pulled and have no idea why 24 games into the season I don’t need to hear anything else. HF will catch a break getting Huffman next week at Hamshire. That would have been a tough one in Huffman and a 3rd loss will all but eliminate them from title contention.

Starting to question your memory or knowledge or both.
The score last week was 60-47. Far from a 30 point win for HF.
I find it very hard to believe that a first year head coach would tank a district game, particularly one this early in the district season.
Sometimes people watch the same game and see 2 very different versions. I been in the gyms a long time and usually when a coach sits his starters it’s because he isn’t happy with their performance lol

Nah they won by almost 30pts last weekend vs Livingston. Coach made a decision to sit all his starters for the majority of the game, not sure why, but Livingston basically beat HFs second unit. I was at the game and really can't tell you what was going on honestly or why the decision was made. They came out a little slow, but nothing really unusual for a high school basketball team, happens from time to time even with nationally ranked ones. Coach pulled his starters and only really played his second and third units. They played hard and went back and forth with Livingston taking the lead multiple times, but they couldn't hold on to win. No one starter played more then an entire quarter and all of them sat the entire 4th qtr until one got sub with 2mins left. Was definitely strange and none of the starters know why 🤷🏾♂️. Livingston players and coach did what they was supposed to do and took advantage of the opportunity. Hopefully whatever caused the decision gets worked out. They were definitely on a role winning 6 straight.
I’m no math wizard but the final at Woodville showed them beating Livingston 60-47. They also beat Anahuac by 6.

This is a shocker to me. What’s going on with HF, did they have all their players? Congratulations on the win to Livingston.
You could see this coming like a freight train. Several close games last year by opposing teams in Livingston last season as well. Couple a recent tournament win by HF over Livingston and it made a perfect recipe for the Livingston win. HF is good enough to beat anyone in this district if they all show up if not they can get average quick.

Looks like we are on a crash course for Buna V East Chambers for the district championship.
Don’t overlook Anahuac

Livingston wins 51-48.
Can anyone share what happened to HF? Does Livingston have a good team?
I don’t know what Livingston had coming back but they weren’t bad last year. They were very well coached.

I called this one yesterday afternoon in a conversation with a friend. HF beat Livingston this past Saturday in a tournament in a close game. This had the feeling of the ultimate trap game!

HJ is a little better than last year, and Huffman is not nearly as good as last year. That said, they're still a pretty good team, and this was an unexpected result. I had HJ winning by 10-15 points. Huffman is now 14-9, but pretty much every loss but one has come to a quality team with a good record, and only two of those losses have been blowouts. Still, this is a far cry from last year's 29-2 squad. Speaking of last year's team, what happened to Harvey? Is he playing somewhere in college? I tried the google and couldn't find anything.
I can remember some folks questioning my basketball IQ when I suggested HJ would be as good as last year. I agree with you, I think they are a little better. Not quite as deep but pretty solid.
