Every single article pushed by the leftist media right now is all about how republicans demanded a border bill, the senate negotiated a bipartisan bill, and then the house shot down the bill they demanded. This take is so blatantly disingenuous that it gets my blood pressure up, and you all know I'm far from the most conservative guy around, and also not nearly as conservative as many of you when it comes to immigration. very few senate republicans supported that crap, so quit calling it a "bipartisan bill just because one republican was involved in negotiating it. But more importantly, quit acting like any of the following parts of the bill truly benefit border security: 1. out of a $118.3B bill, only $20B would be used on border security. 2. the new bill would negate border states' ability to challenge issues with border laws in their home states, instead having to do so in ultraliberal Washington DC in front of ultraliberal judges. A better way of putting this is the bill would mean that border states could never challenge any aspects of the bill, because they would be guaranteed to lose. 3. based on the number of illegal crossings required to trigger actual border security through the bill, up to 1.6M illegals would be allowed in unchallenged yearly. I mean, yeah, can't believe those crazy conservatives turned all this down, right?

China is a bigger threat to the US directly, but Russia is a legitimate threat to start WW3. China's economy is failing and they're doing everything they can to hide the fact. They're also buying up land and corporations in the US, which could become a major issue later.

Orangefield has been playing well, but Kountze has been on another level in district. I think Kountze wins by 15, but should be a great prep for the playoffs for both teams regardless of who takes it

Sorry, I worded that really poorly. I meant if you combined the two districts and took four teams. If you just brought BC or WOS over, I would definitely expect either to compete for and likely take the 4th spot. With the two districts combined it’s Silsbee, then HF-HH-HJ, then everyone else a ways back.

They SHOULD beat them. HJ is an improved team from earlier in the year when they beat BC by 19. The cards have looked good in district, but that district is really bad this season apart from Silsbee. If you combined the districts, apart from Silsbee, who would win it, nobody from that district would even sniff the playoffs in 20-4A. All that having been said, the cards do have a shot. They’re not a bad team, have a little momentum, and the hawks are definitely down this year.

HJ making a run like they always do

Unless HJ led 2-0 (when I started the game they were down 9-2), HJ took their first lead of the game with under 2 min to go in the 4th quarter. This team isn’t as talented as HJ teams of the past, but they play just as hard and don’t give up.

HJ 67 Huffman 63 final

Huffman turnover, timeout again, 6.5 to play

67-63 with 7 seconds to play

HJ about to pull off the upset

With the win tonight and a vidor loss, Lumberton can lock up a playoff spot with a win in either of their final two games. Vidor can force a playin game by beating lumberton and Jasper coupled with a lumberton loss to BC

47 seconds left, HJ ball, timeout

63-63 with a minute to play

HJ up 61-60 with 2:29 to play

Huffman’s stall ball bites them with two quick breakaways for the hawks. 53-49 Huffman with 5:40 to go

33-25 Huffman leads at the half. First time seeing them this year. This is by no means a typical HJ team, but I’ve been super impressed with Huffman’s defensive pressure. Nothing goes uncontested.

HJ yet to score in the 2nd quarter, down 27-17 2 min until the half

Jinx

HJ was down 18-11 with 3 seconds left until Huffman got hit with I guess a flagrant, followed by a technical. HJ made 3 of 4 free throws, then hit a 3 at the buzzer from the volleyball line to pull within one, 18-17 at the end of the first

This one is an important one for him to win.

big time playoff implications in this one. L-town is currently in 4th, only 1 win up on Vidor, who still has the Jasper bye left on their schedule. There are several scenarios left for the 4th spot in this district, as Lumberton finishes their season away to Vidor. A win here for Lumberton would shift several of those scenarios in their favor, especially if Vidor can't pull off the upset vs BC. There's also a slim, but doable chance for Lumberton to make it up into a tie for 3rd with WOS, but that becomes just about impossible if they don't win tonight.

I miss those years where it was HJ/Silsbee fighting it out for district every year and then competing to make it to state. HJ has obviously dropped off some in the last 10 years or so, and Silsbee has gotten even better, but the whole landscape of 4A basketball is skewed due to all the houston teams in our region, combined with having to face the dallas teams if you make it to state.
