Sounds like tired legs

The whole issue here is that y’all are equating positive test results to blowing a .08 in a breathalyzer, and it doesn’t work like that. If I take a prescription Vicodin today, it’ll show up in my system tomorrow, but I won’t be impaired. How can you fire me for that? (You can’t)

I agree, and I think you’re missing something in the point I was making. The difference is this: marijuana can stay in your system for over a month in some cases, and almost always will show up several days after use. If I drink vodka Friday after work and you test me on Monday, it’s all good. If I toke up Friday, not only will I test positive on Monday, but there’s a good chance I’ll still test positive the following Monday as well. How are you going to fire me for something that is legal, that I did off the clock, and quit effecting me in any way days before I went to work.

Looking at Brownsboro’s schedule, they’ve had a good season, but played about 5 quality teams all year and lost to two those. Both of their losses are to teams in the 3A final four, and Fairfield beat them them by 24. They played a couple of mediocre 5A teams pre-district, and the rest were 4A and 3A schools. HJ has played at least a dozen teams that would be favored against brownsboro, and won most of them. Fairfield is the only team on Brownsboro’s schedule that would have a chance to beat HJ, and I don’t think they would do it. This team has broken 70 about 5 times all year. They slow it down. They’re argyle with an easier schedule and much worse shooting. HJ obviously has to show up, but I don’t think brownsboro would have much of a shot against argyle or La Vega. If HJ stays healthy and out of foul trouble I could see them winning this game comfortable. I’m going to say 76-50. Hard to make a prediction like that against a team with a 38-2 record, but if HJ and brownsboro swapped schedules HJ would likely be 40-0 (39-1 at worst), and brownsboro would have double digit losses. Excited for the game tomorrow! Bring it home to Sour Lake!

Safe to say United heeded their wake up call. GCM isn’t much, if any better than this team.

Possibly. I get the safety aspect, but I imagine there would be some serious lawsuits when people start getting fired for participating in a legal activity off the clock.

Great second half for the tigers!

That’s what makes her extra special. She controls the game and gets her shots up, but still makes everyone around her better, and will give it up to the open player when it’s there.

Gotta press them, but have to try and stay out of foul trouble. If Jackson and Beavers get a couple fouls early it’s going to be tough for them to win.

I kinda disagree. I don’t think many companies are going to test for something that’s legal, but stays in your system for several days after you use it. But I guess we’d find out.

Great win for the Hawks. Argyle was red hot and HJ was sluggish in the first half. To be honest from what I saw HJ was 15-20 points better than them. Glad they were able to pull it out. Time to bring home the championship. They should've had one already.

what an insane comeback.

Just able to turn the game back on at work. assuming the press started working?

Down 8 they're going to have to press some, or Argyle will bleed a minute off the clock every possession.

HJ getting outshot and outrebounded as well.

Hawks down 9-3 early. Argyle breaking their press without even dribbling, just passing around it.

not on NFHS

it's great coaching and great fundamental basketball. What makes HJ so unstoppable is their relentless press, and having 4-5 girls on the court at all time that can bring the ball up on the break. Teams like Argyle and Canyon (and maybe 1-2 more 4A schools statewide) have multiple girls that can handle the pressure and break the press. When you can break the press consistently you end up with easy baskets consistently. Both of those teams also have a well-run, slow and methodical offense that will shorten games. If you let HJ run all game they'll wear you down and win. If you cut the amount of possessions their all-American gets in half you greatly increase your chance of winning.

I'll be shocked if it's by that much. Even with a less galvanizing candidate from the left, I'd expect his margin to be tighter than last time after lockdowns and ERCOT.

I agree. A LOT of conservatives are fine with legalization at this point, and there are too many new democrats in the state to think the right doesn't need the libertarian and moderate vote to get elected.

this is a problem on both the far right and far left... anyone who doesn't align with you can't have different opinions, they're just uninformed or too stupid to see things the "right" way. and when you start ignoring these "uninformed" moderates, you start losing elections.

I'm afraid this is a very real possibility. I'm hoping Beto becomes what Trump was for the left... motivation to get out and vote against somebody.

absolutely. how big of a deal would it be if making alcohol illegal was on the ballot. Pot may not be that big, but it's close to that big. It's a huge deal for the majority of voters under the age of 40.

Normally I'd say he doesn't have a chance, but things are lining up to make this election too close for comfort. Beto has moved from basing his campaign on gun control to marijuana legalization. this is the one issue that gives him a chance. Abbott won the last election by about 13%, which is a wide margin, but nowhere near the 20% win that Perry had in 2014. There are a lot of libertarians out there, and most of them vote republican or waste their vote on the libertarian candidate, but almost all of them are major proponents of marijuana legalization (in fact, that's why many of them are libertarians instead of republicans). If a good portion of the libertarian vote goes left it will tighten up the race considerably. Add to that the fact that there are many on the right who aren't big abbott fans, and may not get out to vote, and also that the left is excited about Beto and will be out in force, and this vote could be scary. There's also the fact that our demographics are changing in the state, and most of the influx will vote democrat. What are your thoughts? I know Beto is a clown, but I'm worried he might have a winning strategy here. Even many staunch conservatives on the site here think marijuana should be legalized. I know that won't make them vote for him, but it might be time for the right to embrace legalization as well and quit bleeding votes to the left over one issue that's been settled in many states already.

lets get it, girls. this is the year!
