And HJ has a bye next Tuesday. I hate the lay offs when you’re playing well

The kid is special, no doubt about it!

It was clear last night that Bush was going to have to put the Silsbee club on his back. Just exactly like the game in Silsbee the home team had a chance to run away with the ballgame in the middle of the 3rd. HJ went up by 12 but Silsbee went on a 10-0 run. I’ve said it all year but I’ll say it again, this may be the most unselfish team I’ve ever seen!

good bounce back win !!!

Several things stood out tonight . The Hawks shot the 3 ball much better than they did in the first round and they got great post play tonight. I still say Bush is the best player in SE Texas. The key tonight though has been the Hawks strength all season and that's depth. The Hawks went 11 deep tonight with no significant drop off. Congrats on the "W" HJ now we need to take care of business Friday.

They should be the favorite going in I would think. Huffman is always solid and will return a really solid shooting guard. HJ is pretty young with a lot of kids returning and some that will help moving up . HF returning all but one will make this district fun to watch.

HJ and Silsbee have been in different districts before and scheduled head to head games. I would be surprised if they don’t continue to play.

Pretty good basketball players come out of this district. I think I saw where the Saladin kid that graduated a few years ago from HJ was leading the nation in 3 point percentage. Should be a nice rivalry building over the next few years again between Silsbee and HJ. The Hawks have some good young kids returning.

Silsbee beat HJ by 3 and lost to HF. HJ lost to Silsbee by 3 and beat HF and Lumberton by 3. The district this year is a lot closer than most people think.

Now I’m shocked. Congrats on a good win Anahuac

You’re always gonna miss a few but at times like this they are magnified

No disrespect intended on my part. I just find it hard to select a single coach as “the best in the area “.There are some good ones.

Once again a missed FT is a dagger

Yes sir

HJ 87 WOS 68 Final

Thanks for the clarification

I had someone tell me several years ago his family was originally from Buna and he played Little Dribblers over there. I’m not implying any wrong doing on anyone’s part . Just that he has roots to Buna.

Amen

My question was would these kids come back to an average club? Not just Kountze but it happens for various reasons all over SE Texas. Sometimes it has nothing to do with athletics, single parent homes are often a driving force. There are always however some that come for athletics. I don’t know anything much about Buna transfers . I think the best player in our area this year was originally from Buna but I could be wrong.

I have a good friend who’s son played on the boys 7th grade team. I’ve heard nothing but good things about him and the club. I hope to get to check them out.

This could be pretty misleading since the playoff format is so watered down these days. I think Kountze ended what had been a Phenomenal streak last year. Evadale is in real danger this year. Just a few I would think that have really long current streaks that will continue are East Chambers, Silsbee, Hardin Jefferson, Big Sandy. These schools judge their successful seasons a little different, just playoff appearances don’t draw much attention.
