[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="730430" timestamp="1260829716"] It was Carrington, the other post player, the one with braids. Both the twins and Reed are back. I saw Cleveland twice already this year. They have a very good starting 5, but the bench is very suspect. They are good, but not state tourney good in my opinion. [/quote] i saw them last year, and they were very solid, and very young.  if those players continue to mature, and they can find some help from the bench, then they could make a deep run.

i reiterate that personally, as a hawk fan and alum, i have no problem with the poll.  HJ's proven they should be above Kountze, and they are.  Between HJ and Silsbee, it's a tossup at this point.  Your opinion is that Silsbee is better, and I certainly can't argue it one way or another.  One of them has to be #1, one has to be #2, so until they play this is fair (unless Silsbee takes a bad loss or something)

they haven't played head to head, and silsbee has the harder schedule.  15-1 record for HJ, 9-2 for Silsbee against a bit better competition.  it's really just a matter of opinion right now, and since i don't have anything to do with the rankings on here, i can respect an opinion that has them 1 and 2, respectively, regardless of their order. 

[quote name="bc55fan" post="730210" timestamp="1260815321"] Its simple.... HJ aint the best in the state.  Period end of discussion.  Just because you win doesnt make you the BEST team in the state. They are good....but not the BEST.  "IF your not first.....your LAST" Ricky Bobby [/quote] you may very well be right, but this thread is about being the best in the area.  that being said, i still say it's a tossup between silsbee and hj until they play.

ehh, who cares.  Silsbee and HJ will determine soon enough who #1 and #2 are.  until then, it's just a number anyway.

that loss to NM yesterday will drop them a bit, although New Mexico is 10-0 now, so it's not like they're a bad team by any stretch.

sounds like he won't be playing golf for awhile.

[quote name="swagg" post="729370" timestamp="1260682803"] Its amazing how the refs dictated this ball game. Devin was in foul trouble all night. Like I said, Hj better retire Turners Jersey. He is a beast. The other Hawkettes SUCK! Yeah I said it... [/quote] it's amazing how your first reaction to this result is more excuses.

[/quote] i guess HJ's one stud is better than kountze's two.  better hope ya'll don't play anyone with ONE great player in playoffs this season.

we may not know who the best low-division basketball team in southeast texas is yet, but i think it's pretty clear who the third best team is!!!

time to swagg your way back to kountze!  what a win for the hawks!!!  wait, it was the refs!  HAHAHAHAHAHA!  see you next year, swagg.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="728988" timestamp="1260658593"] As I said before this is the Championship game that everyone wanted..........regardless of who wins and who losses the fact still remains that HJ beat Kountze at Kountze.  So either it is tied after tonight at one game a piece or there will be several Kountze fans who will not ever post on this message board again!!!!! [/quote] nah, we'll hear about the refs, the injuries, etc. etc. etc.  then we won't hear from them again.

OU sucks so bad that i heard  Gabe actually traded his season tickets for herpes.

[/quote] unless they get beat somebody else, in which case all results from this tourney will not be counted in order to cancel out the loss. 

OU sucks worse than figure skating.

[quote name="stori" post="727308" timestamp="1260409487"] They will win district.  They have an energetic new coach, Josh Tanner, who has high goals for them.  Their pre-season games are going to be brutal...we'll see how that goes!  They did not lose too many to graduation, but strikers will be learning to work together and make it happen without the prolific scorer, Michelle Sladaritz.  They have a lot of experienced players that should be able to do that...and four promising freshmen on varsity this year.  Check them out at the Kelly Winter Classic tournament in January.  [/quote] we talking about girls or guys?  josh should be a good coach.  i play with him on sundays, and he's a solid player who understands the game really well.

[quote name="swagg" post="726506" timestamp="1260305299"] "Correction Haters" The game was decided when we put Jasper on the schedule. We throw alleys because we can. Don't start hating because hj shooter can't shoot and wasn't blessed with hops. [b]We give out fans their money worth.[/b] Kinda like Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. [b]We play to win the game. And that's exactly what we did. Easily. Roar, Roar![/b][/quote] exactly how much did your fans get out of that first HJ game?  I guess HJ's just lucky ya'll weren't playing to win against them.

He will never, nor should he ever, get the respect as a man as he should. Sponsors really should look twice as letting him represent them. [/quote] hahahaha

the new one is a rough looking gal!

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland center Greg Oden will likely miss the rest of the season after fracturing his left knee cap Saturday night in the Trail Blazers' victory over the Houston Rockets. "He's a strong kid," said general manager Kevin Pritchard, visibly shaken by the latest injury to befall the 7-foot center. "He's going to bounce back from this." [Hidden Content]

Fishermen are reeling in bigger and more mature red snapper — a sign that the overfished species is beginning to recover and tight regulations can be relaxed a bit, according to a new analysis. Based on results of this year’s annual survey of red snapper, released Wednesday in New Orleans, a panel of scientists recommended allowing fishermen to catch more of the fish starting next year. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council, which sets fishing limits, will vote on the recommendation in February. Roy Crabtree, the regional administrator for the National Marine Fisheries Service, said the assessment showed that overfishing has ended, but not that “red snapper has been rebuilt or recovered.” He said fishermen could expect quotas and catch limits on red snapper to be increased. The “findings show indications that some recovery has occurred in the red snapper population,” said Chris Dorsett, a conservation expert with the Ocean Conservancy, a national marine advocacy group. He added: “This is great news for the Gulf environment and the economy.” Glen Brooks, the Cortez, Fla.-based president of the Gulf Fishermen’s Association, said it was common knowledge among fishermen that red snapper were making a comeback. “We believe the population is real healthy. The fishermen see things a couple of years before the scientists see it with their model assessments,” Brooks said. “On the west coast of Florida, if you caught two, three snapper a trip, it was pretty good. Now, you can load a boat up with the suckers. They have definitely come back pretty strong.” Not everyone agrees. James Cowan, a fisheries oceanographer at Louisiana State University, warned that the recent data likely reflected a temporary rebound. He said the scientific panel based its recommendations on “the least conservative” model runs. Cowan sits on the advisory panel and voted against increasing catch limits. “We’re still killing the young too quickly. We need the fish to live long enough to produce a bunch of eggs,” Cowan said. “These guys don’t reach maximum egg potential until they’re 15 years old.” “This has happened before,” he said. “Everybody gets amped up, we increase catches and we realize after that we can’t support that fishing rate.” Red snapper can live for more than 50 years, but for the past 20 years the Gulf has been populated by smaller and younger fish, most of them under five years, Dorsett said. He said “rebuilding that age class structure was critically important” to maintaining the species. Red snapper is regulated under a plan that restricts how many million pounds of the fish can be caught each year by commercial and recreational fishermen. There also are rules to stop fishermen from discarding red snapper they don’t use and from catching them in shrimp nets.
