[quote name="Malcolm X" post="954113" timestamp="1295961991"] Where should Silsbee be ranked? [/quote] 2 or 3

[quote name="SexyTigger" post="953254" timestamp="1295759807"] Yeah each team played three games [/quote] so i'll give y'all the unofficial 3A tournament championship :)

hey AAW, i don't suppose you'd list the stats for this game when you get a chance, would you?

[/quote] Ignorance - A state of being uninformed (lack of knowledge).  I have nothing to prove to you nor anyone else here but I would have to say you don't know me because I am not at all "uninformed" nor do I "lack knowledge" about the statement that I made and stand by.  Again I say, I'm not beating any chests nor am I bragging about a loss but it seems to me that you are making excuses (silsbee being without "probably" their 2nd best player and their head coach) as most people do after their predictions don't pan out.  Your statement sounds a little "ignorant" because if you have to say "probably" then I would think that is falls under uninformed/lack of knowledge.  If you're so sure of yourself then you would know whether or not whomever you refer to as being the 2nd best player is really the 2nd best player.  If you're going to quote BD then get it right...he stated "the HF staff played to lose and not make it a blowout".  HF staff needs to start "playing to WIN and not make it a blowout" and have confidence in the players they have.  I've been around these players much longer than the HF staff and I know (that's having knowledge) what talent HF has. [/quote] sorry i paraphrased that quote... quite ignorant of me to assume you'd understand.  and yes, i'll plead some ignorance as to the best players on silsbee's squad.  i know about them, but not well enough to say who's 2nd or 3rd best behind DC.  if i'm interpreting this statement correctly "I (hfmom) would be brave enough to say "If HF would stop coaching like it's Little Dribblers, we COULD handle Silsbee and anyone else in our district THIS YEAR" then you're saying essentially that HF would be at the top of this district with a different coaching staff.  you can say that that isn't an ignorant statement all you want, but you'd be wrong.  again, HF is certainly improved this year, but they're looking at 2 losses to silsbee, 2 to HJ, probably 2 to WOS, the loss you've already picked up against OF, and that's 7 if they win every other game.  Young Mr. Hunter makes a difference, but he's not going to make that big of a difference just yet.

how many goals does Trabing have?

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="953105" timestamp="1295735638"] [quote author=SexyTigger link=topic=79035.msg953086#msg953086 date=1295733808] Yeah he is a really good coach and has really calmed the team down in the past year. We are no longrer a team that fights, but a team that playes soccer. [/quote] Too bad. I like a soccer team that fights, makes it more interesting, like hockey. ;D [/quote] maybe you can teach that frame of mind to the basketball team.  HJ would cakewalk over the Tigers if they lost 3 or 4 starters due to ejection...

Even though last year's team was very good, this team is better for a few reasons: this team has more scorers than last year. Tristan Thomas is WAY better than Dexter Pittman, and Jordan Hamilton is unstoppable.  J Brown has been fantastic this year, and has cut his turnovers way down.  Corey Joseph also scores in bunches. Defense: the horns' D was good last year, but they're one of the best in the nation this year.  Balbay and Brown lock down opposing point guards, Hamilton shuts down the wings, and Thomas and Gary Johnson own the paint.  The Morris twins had to work their butts off today to COMBINE for 26 points and 12 boards on only 8-24 shooting. Composure: This team was able to come back from as deep as a 15-point deficit, and a 12-point halftime deficit to win against what many people feel is the best team in the country.  Last year's team would've folded like a lawnchair.  This team IS good enough to win a national championship, because they can beat ANYONE in the country.

Texas is as good as any team in the nation.  look at their wins: (Rankings are at the time the game was played) #16 Illinois North Carolina #12 Michigan St. #10 aTm #2 Kansas (end KU's 69 game home winning streak!) 3 losses 2-point loss to #4 pitt 1-point loss in OT to #9 UCONN (after the luckiest shot i've seen all year gave UCONN the lead) 17-point loss @ USC (the horns only bad game all year, although USC is a decent team)

what a performance by the horns, and what a performance by J'Covan!  he singlehandedly got them back it in, and then iced it at the end!

Texas off to a slow start.  down 18-7 early, not getting the calls either.

also, my 60 point loss prediction was made simply to get a rise out of Blue, but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't shocked that the tigers didn't win by 30 or 40.

I (hfmom) would be brave enough to say "If HF would stop coaching like it's Little Dribblers, we COULD handle Silsbee and anyone else in our district THIS YEAR" that's a more ignorant statement than the predictions made that silsbee would blow out HF.  you're going to brag about a loss against silsbee who was without probably their 2nd best player and their head coach?  they also surely overlooked you guys.  your coach also played not to get blown out, rather than to win (according to BD).  HF may have an outside chance at the playoffs but they're still looking at at LEAST 6 losses in district this year, maybe 7 or 8.

HF playing well enough to keep in interesting.  i don't see it lasting, but they're definitely better than they've been in years past.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="952323" timestamp="1295638167"] This is an easy fix. Continue club ball, eliminate high school ball. ;) ;D [/quote] somebody is camping in the wrong state park.  you better head on back to your campsite  ;D

Silsbee 78-HF 51 [/quote] Hey santa, i have a feeling one of your predictions may or may not be close to the final result :)

HJ wakes up after a subpar effort vs. OF.  HJ by 23, 81-58

oughta be a good game.  Texas is one of the few teams in the country with the talent and depth down low to keep up with the morris twins.

man, i haven't been that satisfied after a UT sporting event in over a calendar year!  texas beat the crap out of them!  AAW, that's what we call "making someone our slampiece" :)  all jokes aside, the aggies have a very good team, and i expect a much tighter game in college station.

man, the horns look great tonight!  they've got a dang good team.

should be a great game... i agree with the comment that they'll likely split this year.  i'll take the horns by 3 at home.

H-J was called for 4 fouls halfway through the first quarter, only 5 more the rest of the game. Total foul count was HJ 9 OF 20, OF never pressed, HJ pressed the entire game, just a couple of interesting stats. HJ didn't miss free throws down the stretch which accounted for the significant 4th quarter point spread. One thing about going to HJ, you can always count on their fans not knowing how to sit on the home side. Only place in the district like that... [/quote] Very, Very, Very weak excuses.  Scoreboard tells the only story that matters. [/quote] i'm sure OF will beat the crap out of HJ the next time they play and get a "fair" game...  ::)

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="950423" timestamp="1295376193"] Tigers by 56 [/quote] i was going to say 60.  Tigers 107, Horns 47

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="948728" timestamp="1295098969"] Who would have predicted this outcome so far? These two teams are deadlocked in district play after this week. ;D [/quote] yeah, but the hawks have played the silsbee tigers, so i think it's fair to say they have a game in hand.
