36-2 Seven Lakes isn’t much of a consolation prize. Gonna be a tough matchup for BU. This feels more like the final than the semi. Win this one and play an easier team to make it to state.

Yeah, I’d edited it before you finished replying. Regardless they have a ton of talent coming back

All four of their 6’4” and 6’5” guys are coming back

Not many. And not sure any of them start. Maybe 1?

Those new rims need some breaking in. Not used to seeing layups rim out

That had a little, but obviously not everything, to do with Silsbee not playing their best. Horns scrapped down low and caused some turnovers with hustle. Nothing for HF to hang their heads about, and a nice tester to wake Silsbee up moving on in the playoffs. It’s been awhile since they’ve been challenged. Good luck to the tigers moving on!

Ouch

No quit in these horns

Horns have also missed their fair share of two footers

Rough end of the half for the horns, with Silsbee hitting two 3s in the last 20 seconds

Wow

Hitchcock’s 3 losses this year are an OT loss to episcopal, a 3 point loss to 6A district winner South Houston, and a 7 point loss to 4A #2 Eastern Hills. OF played them tough last year, but it’s going to be a tall task to manage it two years in a row. Rooting for them, but I think Hitchcock wins by 15.

HF breaks the press pretty well. Last night they scored some baskets without dribbling the ball on their side of the court with 2-3 quick passes. If they can do that against Silsbee, which is obviously a taller task, they have a chance to keep it pretty interesting. But it’s going to take a great game from the horns and a mediocre one from the tigers for HF to have any chance at an upset. I’m rooting hard for them, but I’m with everyone else in the “Silsbee by 20ish” camp.

HF wins 73-60

Oh, just saw it. Refs with an interesting call to end it. She missed the free throw on purpose and the clock started before anyone touched it. That said, it would’ve been literally impossible for the hawks to get the ball off a missed ft with .1 seconds left and make a 3 somehow

He can be mad, but when your best player shoots like 25 free throws I’m not sure what you can really be mad about

Lucky that didn’t cost them. Can’t do that at that stage of the game

Tough 3rd for the hawks. Down 52-47 after 3

By my count 24 fouls were called in the 2nd quarter. But it might’ve been 25

La Vega pretty dirty. At the rate the refs are calling fouls this game my be 3 v 3 by the end of the 3rd quarter. Sneed already has 19 already, probably 10 from the line

Great start for the lady hawks!

Yeah, just checked. Powell is the current Texas record holder, but Rigdon will pass him unless he goes ice cold in the playoffs

He is mentioned as such in the article I believe

it seems like the right would do well to do everything they could to avoid this, but here we are... but hey, at least y'all will have your principles if we get 4 more years of lefty leadership insanity.

Feels like a toss-up game between two good small town teams. HF is the slight favorite, but this one could be really close and go either way.
