[quote name="ST4life" post="752182" timestamp="1264888508"] If both Avery and Jones can play outstanding games Such as: Jones did vs. HJ        And Avery did vs. WOS Plus Hill, DC and Lane making plays like they do every game If Silsbee can do that than I just don’t see why they would not go to state Any thoughts? [/quote] as an HJ fan, i completely agree.  Silsbee not only has size, they have athletic, coordinated size.  I honestly believe that HJ is deserving of their top-10 ranking in the state, and Silsbee was able to stifle their offense and overcome their defense, without one of their most valuable players.  if they can avoid a major letdown, i'd be very surprised if they aren't representing SETX in austin this year.

[quote name="Newcastle" post="752135" timestamp="1264879446"] He has been there for several years now....probably was not looking for the soccer job when he got it, but he takes it seriously.  He is a class act and a good friend of mine.  If a poll was taken, coaches and players would agree that he makes Ozen better every year. [/quote] cool, thanks for the info.  next time you talk to him, ask him if he's possibly interested in having a guy with 22 years of soccer experience (including 3 years of college soccer) coming and helping out a bit next season.  i work at the head start, which is about a 2 minute drive from ozen.  i don't think it would be a problem since i'm also an employee of BISD, but i don't know the guy, and i don't know the policies of BISD.  he might also might not want/need any help.

[/quote]You're right, they have.  But memories of the past still haunt me....... [/quote] and they struggled tonight. 

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="751820" timestamp="1264820880"] Dogs scored 6 points in last 10 seconds [/quote] unbelievable!

the stangs are playing some really good ball right now!

a nice result for the dogs, considering Ozen's recent run of form.

my take on the game: First off, congrats to Silsbee on a hard-fought win.  i didn't think the officiating was spectacular, but it was pretty fair.  I didn't think either team got a big advantage from the calls.  This game could've gone differently, but Silsbee was the better team.  The Hawks shot terribly from the line... if they cracked 40%, i'd be shocked.  in a game like this, you've got to take advantage when you're given free points, and they didn't do it.  They also missed a lot of fairly good looks in down low.  a couple of those baskets and a couple of freethrows and this is anyone's game.  that being said, they didn't do it.  Apart from that, Silsbee's size was the biggest factor in this game.  I don't know how many points they got off of putbacks, but i bet it accounted for close to half their points.  The hawks played a great defensive game, but it's tough when you force a 6'4'' guy into taking a bad shot, only to have a 6'7'' guy on the backside there to sky up for an easy tap-in.  Silsbee deserves a ton of credit for their ability to break the press tonight.  They had a lot of turnovers (as did the hawks), but they consistently broke the hawk press over the top, leading to some easy baskets.  they did a great job cleaning up on the offensive glass, and also on the defensive glass, as the hawks had very few opportunities for second-chance points.  Silsbee also did a good job in their overall disruption of the Hawks' offense.  Most of HJ's points came on the break, and Silsbee still managed to spoil several good chances for fast break points by the hawks.  The 3rd quarter is what sealed it.  Apart from that, the hawks were +2 for the game, but in that quarter the Tiger defense stepped up and shut the hawks down, and this led to some offense, as they outscored HJ 15-4 in the period.  all in all, a good win for the Tigers, and a good effort from the hawks to not give up.  i look forward to seeing the rematch in person.  

thanks for the broadcast, guys!

50-41, Silsbee wins.

i got a shoutout!

very nice alley by Silsbee!

Ricossa has had a tough game.  he's missed 4 or 5 good looks down low.

[/quote] Too much pride on the Hawks side to blow them out.  Silsbee clearly has more [s]talent[/s] size. [/quote]

prudhomme fouls out for the hawks.  hawks down 7, 4 minutes left.

Hawks on a run, down 7.  still missing freethrows.

HJ was set up for about 5 seconds there before that charge. 

jacolby with 7 quick points.  tigers lead 40-30.

Tigers up 36-23 going into the 4th.  great 3rd quarter for the tigers.  i don't see the hawks coming back from this one, but i have seen them do it before. 

Tigers outscoring the Hawks 15-2 in the 3rd.  Tigers probably have 20 points on easy putbacks on layups off the offensive board.
