Haven't seen HF but Orangefeild looked good to me the one game I watched.  I'll pick OF in a close one...

Yea, every pitch that kid threw past the Hardin hitters was pure luck, not.  The point is Hardin was a better team last year, but who knows why?  Maybe they're just taking longer to come around, there wasn't much of a pre -season this year.

Hardin did well, they decided to pitch Remsing (their #2) against Buna, to save Clements for Kountze.  Not alot of hits on either side.  Remsing finished very strongs, but had a couple of walks and even some balks...

Hardin had a hard time at the plate, Nolan had their only 2 hits...

Newton and Hardin were actually Co-Champs.  Newton won a coin flip for the better play-off spot.  Newton got extremely lucky to win the game in Newton...

The point is Buna probably wins this but Hardin does have a good team when everyone is healthy and PASSING...

2006, East Chambers vs. Hardin.  East Chambers won 52-0. AT HALFTIME!!!  The game got called for rain, but E.C. was on pace to score 100 plus...

Maybe there should be a run rule

I think Hardin can play error-less ball, but I doubt they will.  That said, Hardin has the team that can beat Buna, I'm not saying they will, but they have a team that is capable.  This is a team that won the district last year and they only lost 2 players.  This rain delay actually benefits Hardin.  Their number 1 pitcher can throw against Buna, and then they can throw their number 2 against Kountze.  Their #2 pitcher (Remsing) is a really good thrower but hasn't had alot of innings under his belt.  If Nolan, Remsing and Clements stay as hot at the plate as they have been, this team may surprise Buna....

Buna wins this one, unless Hardin can play errorless ball.  Something they have not done yet to this point. 

Sounds like this was an exciting game.  A little closer than some people thought too.  Good job Kountze for a good game, and congrats to Buna...

I kinda agree with cardinal fan, as long as its just booing, who cares.  There is not one person on this board that knows anything about the game they're watching who hasn't expressed displeasure with a call made against who they are pulling for.  As long as that expression remains clean and doesn't get vulgar or offensive to kids and other spectators, Refs and Umps should not acknowledge them.

I think personally, booing is just immature and childish, but disagreeing with a ball/strike or a foul in B-ball, etc., and then voicing this to an official - just keep it clean.  And then let it go...

It is a VERY TOUGH job and we couldn't have any of these sports without them.  Thank 'em every chance you get.

Congrats H-J, great game...

No doubt you're right hawk, but I'll be willing to bet that High School has a shot clock within the next few years.  And the spread is a part of the game, its just boring to watch and frustrating to oppose, I guess the idea is to not let the other team get the lead to begin with ;D

Great story, and good article.

I knew this topic would come up as well, my son and I were talking about this a week ago.  It seems to be a more and more common strategy amoung high school teams to get a quick lead and then start "stalling".  Even from the first quarter.  I am definately for the idea.  I hate that tactic.  Like it was already stated, it is done in every level above H.S.  Might as well get a clock in at least H.S. if not even Jr. High.  However, since there is no clock, I don't blame those teams performing the strategy now...

Hardin won 6-5 in 8 innings.  Both pitchers went the distance and both did a pretty good job.  Clements for Hardin gets the win...Hardin still has alot errors in the feild, Anahuac had a few as well.  All in all, a good game to watch.

Hardin beat Evadale 13-6.  For 3rd.

No stats.

This is a copy of the article posted on the Liberty Shine all Nine Radio Gram (March 1st).

Liberty School Superintendent Mona Chadwick said Head Football Coach and Athletic Director Jeff Stewart got a no-confidence vote from school trustees who failed to approve extending his contract at a recent board meeting. The board’s inaction on his contract leaves Stewart with one year to go as athletic director and head coach of the Liberty Panthers Football Team. In his nine seasons, Jeff Stewart has 55 wins, 43 losses. His teams’ reached the playoffs 8 of those 9 seasons.

Guess 3rd time was the charm for Kountze...

Congrats to both teams...

Yea, Copeland and Elliot will be good, and no argument from me on Thomas.  He is definately the best I've seen.

Hardin's 3rd string QB from last year (Jordan Nolan) had to finish the season up after a couple of injuries. He was their best reciever, and without himself to throw to, he still managed over  100 yards/game...and talk about dropped passes.  He throws on the money, and makes some really good decisions, if he can add some size to his frame next year, he will impress alot of people. 

From a West Hardin Alum... Living in Liberty now,  Good luck Oilers!!!!  There's a lot of people pulling for you around Liberty as well.

Any Stats on this game? For Hardin or Colmesneil.
