WHM

??? OK...I need this one explained!!! How does West Hardin end up 13th when Big Sandy (who had a worse record and didn't go as far in the Playoffs) ended up at number 6!!?? That makes absolutely NO SENSE!! I don't think that 3A is the only joke!!

I realize HS basketball is a different arena than little dribblers. However, I believe that any sport (anything in life for that matter) should be played with integrity. Your best game, head held high, using your skills, etc. I don't believe in selling your soul for the win. If you can't win with your best game, then you just didn't win. If you cheat or use "winning" tactics, then you even if you've got the W....you didn't win! My opinion.

I guess I just have a bit more integrity than you. I don't think it's dumb anymore than I think your response to it is. You ARE entitled to your opinion (just like I am) but you certainly didn't need to be so rude. It's amazing how vocal, rude and opinionated people are when they are anonymous! LOL :

From West Hardin to the Kountze Lions...Congratulations on your win! ;D

Congratulation to the HJ Hawks from West Hardin.

I, for one, think the shot clock should be used. It would force those teams that use the stall tactic to actually play basketball. I think that is pathetic. It may be a great way to end up with more points at the end of the game but it certainly isn't any way to win!! I think it's a cheap tacky ploy...but not basketball. To me that whole stall tactic says that the coach doesn't have much faith in his team as a team or as individual players. If he did, he'd spend his time coaching them on perfecting their game play, not how to play keep away. I'd rather have a team lose playing their best game of basketball than I would have one resort to "winning" tactics.

...and yet we still beat ya'll. What does that say? Why does EVERYTHING about us have to be called into question? First, we are JUST 1A, now we have a FAKE record. Whatever! I still believe Coach Fuller is the Coach of the Year.

I did before the game yesterday and I still do. When we were playing BASKETBALL we were winning or the game was very close. It's when the game of KEEP AWAY started that we lost. Unfortunately, our attempt to break that up only made things worse. It was a good plan but it didn't work like we'd hoped. Of course, that female ref didn't help. She was a factor in the BS game and she was for us yesterday. I just can't imagine why?! :-X I'm still very proud of our team. They weren't rude, arrogant or cocky in the way that other teams were. They were respectful. I'll take that over a win any day. That will mean more in life. Congratulations to MM on the win. Good luck on your state run.

Congrats to our friends from Kountze! WAY TO GO!! GOOD LUCK on your run at the State title.

I'm so proud of these boys!!! They have always been a stellar group of young men and that has only improved as they have gotten older! I am heartbroken that the season has come to an end but ya'll played a FABULOUS season and should be filled with a tremendous amount of pride for your accomplishments!!! Jared, Brandon, Zach, Tyler, Matthew, Chase, Austin, Ethan, Jordan, and Cody you each brought what you brought to the game, each different but each important. This season couldn't have been without anyone of you. Whether it was hitting baskets, rebounding, fouling, subbing in, or just moral support...it ALL mattered!!! Hold your heads high, walk tall and feel proud! YOU ARE CHAMPIONS! Coach Fuller...goodness...what to say! You are a blessing! You are a fine moral example of a Christian man...an example to this team. You bring that with you everywhere! God bless you and thank you! YOU ARE A CHAMPION TOO! To my son Jared....you make a mother proud!! Everyday...Always! [move]WEST HARDIN OILERS....DISTRICT CHAMPIONS....REGIONAL RUNNERS UP[/move]

I'll be praying with you (and for you and baby Kate.) I want this for these boys so much. It's their time and they've worked so hard! BTW...you should have seen Kent jump today! I think he could take Jared on the jump! LOL ;D I teased him about it after the game but then they showed it on Channel 12 news! And they say white boys can't jump!

NO PREDICTIONS just firm support for my boys!! I know they can do this! It's going to be tough, just like today, but I know that they can bring the A game and win! [move]GO OILERS....IT'S YOUR TIME[/move]

A point well taken! Since I don't "have a dog in this fight" I'll beg off. I still think your comment was rude...and I was told you were a nice kid too! :-\

How rude! I do believe every team has "other guys" (I think they might even have names, too ) and they might not be the stars of their teams but did it hurt ANYTHING for there to be discussion? I don't really give two hoots who the "best player" is!! Quite frankly, until you get them all on one court...you won't ever know! So...speculate all you want!

Yeah but there are some responsibilities here with one of the other kids that prevents me from staying overnight! It's cool...I'm used to running!

Same here. We are driving up Friday and driving back home. Then heading back up on Saturday morning....EARLY!!

You keep talking and I keep hearing BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! Pick your team...pick your seat...pick your nose for all I care but until the clock ticks off the last second you can't say you'll win! :'(

All that notwithstanding...I'm going for my Oilers!! :-* BTW...we've been trash talked by better than you! You are going to have to get a WHOLE lot more vicious if you want to insult us.

Or Jared Tomlinson?? Of course, I'm partial but I believe that Jared has had a huge impact on the outcome of many of this season's games. Zach too! This is truly a team. Just like last night...Brandon and Tyler (generally big scorers) didn't hit much but Zach did. There have been several games where Jared's points were within a point or two of the top scorers and he almost always has great boards. Of course, the only thing that matters at the end of the game is that West Hardin has the most points. Individual means nothing on a team!

I second that...motion passed! Let's move on!! 8)

What a tragedy! My prayers are with her family and friends!

GOOD LUCK TO HJ! ;D

First off...I want to congratulate Zach (SUPERMAN) Simmons on his great game! He's such a superkid! Also...I completely agree about Jared. He gets lots of congrats and pats on the back at the game but very little ink! It's ok though...as long as they win.

The games may be getting tougher but I still have to support my Oilers! No prediction on a score. Guys, just get out there and fight the good fight! It's your time to shine...it's your time to be the Champions! [move]GO OILERS.....ALL THE WAY TO STATE[/move]

WTG HJ! Good luck in your next game!
