I wish the Pirates the best.I wish they were playing a little closer than Willis.I will probably stop at Caney Creek and check out the Hawks and Navasota.

For the most part I had theses picks pegged.I didn't get the chance to see Hampshire so I couldn't comment on them.The rest of the picks fell out like I figured they would.Congrats to the young ladies on their seasons.

It may not be the same club that we've seen at the state tournament but they will be very well coached.The kids will have bought in to the system and will be very disciplined.There won't be a double digit win in this game.Thorndale always controls the tempo which could lead to a 56-50 type game.If thats the case it will come down to possessions and free throws so its a toss up.

You guys just need to get in a GOOD summer league and play as team.Take about 10 players and challenge each other to work on their weakness.#23 and #3 should be in a daily battle to make each other better.#3 has some potential but could be called for carrying the ball on every possession,the sky is the limit for #23 if he puts the time in the gym.People feed off his upbeat style of play(he even gets the crowd in to it).One of the keys for SP next year will be #21,he has a good shot but needs to be more involved throughout the game.The times that I saw SP this year he would hit some big shots and then disappear for a stretch.The only other observation I had last night is the fans while supporting the kids need to leave the coaching to the young man on the bench.Its great to be vocal and support the team but trying to tell the kids what to on each possession probably ended in Lil Dribblers.Overall I was pretty impressed with the Sharks this season,they were better than I thought they would be.Congrats on a very good year.

They need to find a spot for #23,he picks the game up a notch when he hits the floor.

Normangee 57 SP 50 Nomangee was just to deep for the Sharks.The Sharks came out alittle flat but made a good ballgame out of it late.Normangee hit free shots late to seal it.Congrats Sharks on a good season.

San Augustine wins this one by 10.Kountze and San Augustine should play up at Angelina JC.Pretty good facility and not real far from either town.Plus some pretty good eating places after the game.

I hope to be there unless something falls apart at work.

I thought you were posting a bracket Dawg.I guess I'll have to go to the UIL site to get the real one.Does Kountze have New Waverly in the 1st round??? I don't think the Lions beat them this year.I hope I'm wrong, it makes the state tournament more fun when you know some of the kids playing in it.

Come on folks.This is a high school message board about sports.You may want to quit throwing so many names out there.I can assure you Coach Foster will handle the basketball end of it and that's probably all anyone should comment on in this forum.

I certainly don't blame ya for that ;)

Navasota and Madisonville would be a very good game but I don't think either one of them will beat Diboll.Madisonville plays great transition basketball but Dibolls big girl will cancel the post threat out and that's how they beat HJ.I like Dibolls chances of representing region3 at the drum.

I think HJ will return 4 that were up all year,plus a couple that moved up late.One of those freshmen that moved up played alot during the last O-field game and during the playoffs.This kid is gonna be a player.I haven't got a game program here so her name escapes me but she hit several big time shots in both playoff games.They return both post players and one of their outside shooters and several young kids that will move up.The future looks bright in Sour Lake.

I wasn't complaining.I don't have a dog in the fight.I was just curious last night looking at the bracket why you would have 10 teams with a bye in the first round and any with a bye in the second.It had nothing to do with HF personally.

I agree about having to many playoff teams.Having 4 in 4-a and 5-a is ridiculous.In a lot of cases having 3 in the lower levels is just as bad.Plain and simple if you have a losing district record there is no way you should be a playoff team.

If they were in different 1-a divisions I think the warm up game with Brookeland would have been a good decision(not sure if they are both D-1) or not.While it's good to play tough games to get ready for the playoffs,I'm not sure about this one.Playoff basketball is all about momentum and Cleveland may be to deep for the Pirates.I wish Spurger the best but this one will be tough.

This ones not close.HJ by 30.Could have saved gas and just played at Liberty,their gonna have to drive thru there anyway ;D ;D ;D

This is unreal.High School Varsity basketball is not about letting lil johnnie get equal minutes.You outgrow that after little dribblers.If I had to quess I would say Todd and Co. scheduled 38 games up to this point so they would KNOW who their best players were in ANY situation.I even heard some fans at the HJ girls game last night yelling "put in some different players coach".Come on people,if your playing you 38th game of the season or your in the 2nd round of the playoffs the talent evaluating is over.Let the coaches do their job. ;)

No disrespect to HF but how in the world does the 3rd seed in 21-aaa get Huffman in the 1st round and then get a bye in the 2nd round.Looking at the brackets last night there were 10 teams who got byes in the 1st round.Why not schecule 5 more games,reward your champs with seeding and avoid the 7 day delay that kills some teams??

I told ya this would be about a 6 point game ;) Congats to EC, they were the most improved team I saw on the girls side this year.

I think the 2 late season games with HJ, while being good ballgames took a little out of each club emotionally.That and the fact it sounds like both Navasota and Madisonville both played very well in transition.It's hard to prepare for that in this area because after you get past the Ozen and Centrals of the area not alot of the clubs run.Congrats to the Lady Bobcats on a fine season.You have converted me into a fan and I will definitely come watch some next year.

Do these people realize how many clubs in this area would give their right arm to be 32-6.Geez,give me a break.These folks would dog Red Auerbach : : :

Congrats to the Lady Hawks on a fine season.They ran in to a pretty dog gone good club tonight with a very good post player.I think she had 29 pts and probably at least 15 boards.The Hawks played hard and have nothing to hang there heads about.Several good young players contributed tonight and the little freshman girl played well.Congrats to the Seniors on a great career you should be proud of yourselves.

I'm just a fan not a homer.I probably live as close to Orangefield as I do Sour Lake and I know I have more kinfolks in O-field ;D ;D ;D I think you are right about liven up the board. This is really a dead issue and should be dropped. Sorry but the coaches will decide who gets what and we are all homers. ;D ;D

Thanks.I'll be in Conroe Friday night but will be looking for a game Saturday.
