he was certainly assessed the foul.  La Vega dunked pregame as well, but i guess they got it in before the refs came out.

[quote name="Hupernikomen" post="1191240" timestamp="1330754616"] HJ appeared to be the better side.  Several players struggled for long stretches of the game.  Played really well in a few spurts.  Seemed like that gave this one away to me. [/quote] absolutely.  i didn't see anything tonight that led me to believe that WLV would win the majority of the matchups if they played 10 times.  i thought HJ was the better team, although neither team was great tonight.

[quote name="team first" post="1191274" timestamp="1330756641"] Dang that is bad news for ozen considering they just lost their best player for years to come. Want be anyone close to green next 4 or 5 years [/quote] i'll be curious to see what the hunter boys have to say about that in the next couple of seasons.

i agree that HJ had a chance to win it, refs or no refs.  there was just a span there that got my blood going when Shawn was pushed out of bounds, no call, and then right after that la vega got a go ahead layup with that 300 lb center holding/shielding Joe where he couldn't get to the ball handler, about 6 inches in front of the official.  it wasn't that there were a ton of bad calls, but the timing of them was horrendous.

Nash, i wanted to get your opinion on the officiating tonight.  not to make excuses, but just to see if i was just being biased, or if you noticed some inconsistency as well?

You represented 21-3A well. Made us proud. Lets get the state Championship next year. [/quote]not in 3-A ;) [/quote]. For sure.  Yates documented ther invincibility tonite [/quote] 5A is breathing a sigh of relief that they didn't get a special exemption to move up.

This was a tough loss to stomach.  La Vega was not better than the Hawks tonight.  I would've felt better about this game if they had come out and beat the hawks by 15-20, and i could sit back and say "man, that's a good team, they'll probably win state".  that wasn't the case tonight.  HJ didn't play that well, was the victim of a few questionable calls, but were still in a position to win.  with a 1 point lead and 35 seconds left, HJ got a steal and had a chance to go to the line to end it, and ended the game with a couple of turnovers that turned a 1-point lead into a 3-point deficit.  then Johnson's three rattled out that would've tied it.  this one hurt.  I honestly think HJ was the better team, as they really didn't play that good of a game, and still should've won.  what's worse is between what silsbee has coming back, losing Prudhomme, and the houston schools dropping down to 3A, this was probably HJ's last chance to go to state for awhile, and had they made it through this region, there wasn't a team they were going to face that was any better than the teams they'd faced in regionals.  all of that whining being done, great season to the hawks.  39-2 is a fantastic year by any stretch of the imagination.  Good luck to the seniors in the future, and i look forward to seeing another very solid HJ team next season.

Refs just got la vega back in the gane

Persohn just got refraped

Neither team particularly sharp

Tech on Shawn before the game. Hj up 7-3 early

Silsbee VERY fortunate to advance, but glad they did

[/quote]been this way the whole half. But silsbee JUST showed up in double OT.  They play like this they can beat abyone

Whoever takes this one better play better tomorrow or they're gonna get beat by hj or la vega

Athens has tried their best to give this game to silsbee at the line, and silsbee has done their best to give it back with costly turnovers

Missed both! OT!

Unbelievable. Silsbee holding for the last shot turns it over. Two shots for Athens with 4 ticks left

I take back what I said about the fouls. Silsbee has been getting screwed every since I said it

What a comeback

Silsbee with 4 points in 4 seconds to cut the lead to 4!

Silsbee with 8 fouls, Athens with 3. Probably fair

Silsbee is missing easy layups

Silsbee better pick it up!

like i said, the last 7 or 8 years, it's a huge stretch to compare EC to Silsbee in basketball.  i'm pretty sure universal offseason wasn't an issue 17 years ago.  that being said, i agree that EC has solid basketball and football programs.  but i bet BOTH sports would be better if they had sport-specific offseason programs, rather than a universal weight-lifting program instead.  you might have a school that's a threat to make state in both sports most years, rather than a team that routinely is out after 2 rounds, 3 at most.
