bad ending to the quarter. HJ gave up two waaaaay too easy looks.

late 3rd

Canyon was 13/19 from the field in the first half. Hard to beat a team that doesn't miss or turn the ball over. HJ is going to have to really take care of the ball and not waste possessions. To give you an idea on how well canyon takes care of the ball, HJ had one steal in the first half. They probably have averaged 30 steals a game on the year, no exaggeration.

2.1 M people are being vaccinated a day in the US right now. around 8,000 people die daily on average in the US. There is going to be a lot of coincidental overlap, especially when so many of those being vaccinated are older people, people with comorbidities, or both.

Canyon is no joke. I tried to tell some people.

Canyon is really good, but they can't like this pace.

HJ with a dumb foul with 2 seconds left in the quarter, then poor defense on the inbounds leads to a canyon 3 at the buzzer.

Hawks up 16-11 2:25 left in the 1st.

Hawks up 8-5 early.

Yup. They’re losing their fifth leading scorer and two other seniors who combined for 43 points on the year. Not even sure if one of them is still on the roster. They’re going to be better next year than this year

I do know who she is

Dodd City finally dethroned Nazareth in 1A, where they'd won 4 straight, and 24 total. Dodd City were state runnerups to Nazareth in 17, 18, and 19.

never heard of brownfield, but found them on the UIL site. two crazy things... 1) they don't have a senior on their roster this year 2) their first round playoff game was a blowout. following that they won their playoff games by 2, 2, 7, 5, 3, and 4 points. Don't know if I've ever seen a run like that.

wow. defending 4a champs can't repeat in 3a.

The UIL isn't correct either, because it has one of their losses to lancaster in district as a win, and their loss to South Grand Prairie as a win. Maxpreps has them at 18-10. It doesn't have several games on the schedule that the UIL has. So I guess their actual record is 24-10?

I don't think everyone will stop, but a lot will. I would be willing to bet that if you took those 20 people to somewhere other than a vaccination center some, if not many, of those people would not be wearing a mask. I go to the same convenience store 2-3 mornings a week. They've had a hard mask rule since all this started, and wouldn't let people shop without one. I never saw anyone without a mask on in there for a year. I went in with a mask today and the cashier and all three customers were without. Literally the first place I went under the new rules. It's definitely going to lead to some spikes in sickness. On top of the no masks restaurants and businesses are going to be allowed to pack a lot more people in on top of each other.

I hope I'm wrong as well. But the last I saw less than 10% of the state is fully vaccinated, and about 10% has been diagnosed with covid. I think we can confidently estimate that at least 10% more have had covid and not been diagnosed. That still leaves a LOT of people who're at risk. There are a lot of people out there who are ready to go out and act stupid. I guess we can hope that that rate won't increase much from the rate of those that were already doing so.

I could go back and check the uil records, but i don't have the patience for that.

Logically of course our numbers are going to shoot up. Hospitalizations and death rates as well. It's common sense. Remove all restrictions, open everything back up, don't wait a couple of more months when everyone who wants to can get vaccinated... the numbers are going to soar. Now it's up to each person to decide how much risk they want to put themselves (and their family members they can bring it home to) in, but it's awfully tough on those who don't have a choice but to go to work only to have to face hoards of mask-less shoppers/customers. Masks certainly help, but they're far from 100%. You get exposed enough, mask or no mask, there's a good chance you're getting sick, especially if the sick people you're encountering are spreading it freely.

Argyle 51 Huffman 37

BU should win, but I think Kimball will give them a game. That 18-10 record looks bad, but some of those losses were to #3 6A, #4 6A, #1 6A Private, #1 5A, #1 5A, #10 5A, an independent Lewisville school that plays basically an AAU schedule all over the country, an unranked 21-6 6A squad that went 3 rounds deep, etc. There's maybe one bad loss on their resume, and a TON of experience against high quality teams. They've also beaten 5 straight ranked teams to get here, including Lancaster and Amarillo. BU is going to have to show up. I'll take BU by 9, but it could get tight if BU isn't playing well.

I’m hoping so. Argyle is HH but everyone is bigger and taller. Gonna be a tough game for Huffman, but a better matchup that FF would’ve been

Me too, thanks. Argyle has a kid looks about 9 ft tall
