still can't believe a half-court shot on the road against a state-ranked team knocked 27-1 HJ from 1 to 2, and from 9 first place votes to 2 :)

he probably tebowed at half court following the win.

[quote name="Englebert" post="1161574" timestamp="1326828548"] "High school players brutally beaten for showing up other team" won't sell as many papers as the headline "High school players brutally beaten for Tebowing". [/quote] ding ding ding.  we have a winner.

they weren't brutally beaten for Tebowing, they were brutally beaten for rubbing in a win while on the court.  i don't think the kids intended to do so, and i do think the fans overreacted, but nobody likes it when the opposing team shows up their team, even if it's just perceived.  Heck, every time HJ beats Cleveland in the playoffs, Cleveland fans try to fight them in the parking lot, and HJ doesn't even show them up.

Makes me think that the broadcast was a good one. Thanks for listening. See you Monday? [/quote] might make it, not sure yet.

i gotta do more research and spend more time thinking next week... this is what happens when i'm in a hurry and do my pickems in like 2 minutes.

I listened to most of the game last night, but i was on my iphone and didn't feel like making a long drawn-out post, and i've been at the deer lease all day, so... 1. congrats to silsbee on a great win.  while i picked HJ to win, i'm not surprised at all that Silsbee was able to pull this one off at home. 2. congrats to the hawks on a great comeback.  to be down that much with just a minute or so left in the 3rd and to be able to come back and tie it is MUCH more shocking than the fact that Silsbee won. 3. HJ's poor freethrow shooting was the biggest factor in this result.  Yes, Silsbee deserves a lot of credit for their performance, but if HJ shoots a mere 50% from the line they win.  4. While Silsbee's game winning shot was very lucky, the fact that they were in position to make a lucky game winning shot was not luck at all.  They have a very good team, and they're even better at their home gym. 5. While i never want HJ to lose to Silsbee, i think in the long run this loss will likely be more valuable to the hawks than a win would have been.  A team that faces very little adversity through the season is set up for a letdown once they get deep into the playoffs. 6. I still think HJ is the better team, but the best team doesn't always win... and Friday night Silsbee WAS the best team, but barely. 7. These two teams are the best two teams in the region, and i fully expect one of them to representing SETX at state in a couple of months. 8. I believe that Silsbee's strength of schedule helped prepare them for this game, but HJ's perceived lack of strength of schedule did not have a major impact in their play in this game.  HJ has played some really solid teams, but they beat them badly, which leads people to believe that their schedule has been weak. 9.  The Silsbee/HJ games are among the top local sporting events we have in the area every year. 10. I expect HJ to beat Silsbee by 10-15 points at HJ.  HJ will shoot better at home, and they'll still have their height advantage and the speed to match up with the Tigers.

crazy... good game, tigers.  HJ won't beat themselves again.

Not a bad start for the hawks

Wish I was there

[/quote] Not sure, he may have already had four but he will have none tonite.  Why?  Because I told him that Soulja thinks dunks are over rated and that he has no business trying to hype the crowd. [/quote] HJ might be in trouble tonight because Prudhomme will be passing up dunks to make sweet mid-range jumpers and two-handed chest passes.

[quote name="stevenash" post="1159190" timestamp="1326479517"] [quote author=2-2-1 link=topic=94180.msg1159178#msg1159178 date=1326478438] To be quite honest I can't wait for this game to be over with. This forum is becoming nothing but HJ and Silsbee, and it's getting rather annoying. I can't wait to see the game but I'll be glad when it's over too. [/quote] [b]Have you given any thought to simply not reading the posts that involve Silsbee and HJ?  What are you going to do when they meet for the second time at the end of the month?[/b][/quote] was going to make this point, plus the point that the 2-3 Silsbee/HJ games and the HJ/Silsbee rivalry bring as much traffic to the basketball forum each day in the week leading up to their games as most local programs bring to the forum in the entire season.  if you want to talk about something else, start a topic about something else.  and if nobody replies, you can come back and read this thread some more.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1158784" timestamp="1326405646"] HJ supporters, you do realize when you lose your first game it will be front page/ headline news in the Sour Lake News! [/quote] If HJ sweeps silsbee in district, they'll probably have to end the season undefeated if they want to win state.

a little more politically correct. also: 8. arrive two hours before the freshman game to make sure you get a seat.  9. avoid "accidently" taking any food that belongs to someone wearing an SETXsports shirt.  If you do, you might lose a hand.

i just merged them all.  there were like 6 different ones made in the last two days.  i merged one i made as well.  i also changed the title of the thread to the Tim Tebow thread, instead of leaving it as "Tim Tebow is Useless"

i got the same camera for christmas.  they take dang good pictures.
