45 seconds, or even a minute would be alright. something long enough for teams to try to take some time off the clock, but too short for them to kill away entire quarters.

we need to have a competition of some sort. i'm thinking basketball, soccer for me, golf for you, maybe bowling, ping pong, some other stuff where your impressive girth won't hinder you. ;D

these coaches are class acts! Coach Davis coached me when i was about 12 years old (for less than a month on an allstar team). 13 years later, having not seen him in pretty much all that time, I PM'ed him on here, and asked if he remembered me. he immediately remembered me and my "sweet left-handed jumpshot". with the hundreds of kids he's coached since then, him remembering said a lot to me about how much he cares for the athletes he coaches.

amazing accomplishments for these two!!!

You know, this is really ugly stuff. Why is H-J spending an iota of energy arguing with Silsbee. Silsbee did themselves in by thinking a win by 40+ in the early season would send Jasper into a swoon for the second meeting. Just not the case. Jasper came into this game with something to prove to Silsbee - and they did. If ever there is evidence that you play the game in the present - not the past, and not the future - this is it. Go to the state tourney Hawks and play your very best. Don't look back and feel that you need to defend how you got there - you don't. You earned it. Now close it down with the arguments and go play state tournament basketball. from an HJ fan... well said. all of this back and forth crap is pointless.

a couple of rounds ago, HJ had a lead against cleveland with about 4 minutes to go, and the Hawks were trying to stall the ball. Cleveland came out and pressured, forced two turnovers in a row, and went from trailing to leading in about a minute and a half. The hawks were forced into a position to where they had to start running their offense again. stalling might be boring to watch, but it can win a game if the other team does nothing about it. it's relatively easy to keep a team from stalling. go out and force the action. you might get a steal, force a bad pass, a 5 second violation, back court violation, etc. it's on the team that's trailing to force the issue, not the team that's leading. it may not be the "manly" way to win, but they're the team going to state.

looks like i'll be listening to a game at work... good luck Hawks!

HJ HAS BEEN LUCKY. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TALENT TO GO ALL THE WAY they got lucky? when? when they beat #8 navasota? maybe when they beat #7 cleveland? or when they beat #20 hudson? or was it when they beat the team that put your team out? give me a break.

no pansies now, but HJ has been beating great teams for this whole run, so no reason to back down now!

it seems like they always come out clicking in the 3rd!

Yates isn't up by 100 yet?

Congrats to Jasper on a fantastic season!

56-47, Hawks win!

Way to go, boys!!!

54-44, about a minute left, Benard to the line for two.

50-40, Hawks lead, 3:30 left. four straight FT makes for Ricossa in the 4th!

48-40, Hawk ball, 4:06 left.

4:53 left.

i don't like stall-ball, but the hawks are taking shots 10-15 seconds into the possession, and missing them. they need to eat a little more time here. the more time they give jasper, the more time they have to hit a big 3 or two to get back into it.
