seriously. i didn't realize Benard had that many.

good season, Ozen.

Burrell's dunk was nice, and beat the halftime buzzer to put the hawks up by 3. does that make it more important?

congrats!

the very first fight kind of surprised me. marcus hicks had razor rob in his trademark guillotine, and rob got out of it somehow. other than that, it was pretty boring. i know it was a filler fight, but marcus is dating a friend of mine in dallas, so i have a little more interest in his fights.

(AP) A Texas man on just his second saltwater fishing trip caught an 11-foot, 8-inch shortfin mako shark that weighed 1,149.5 pounds on scales at Port Fourchon, La. Bill Walters, a 56-year-old dog trainer from Granbury, Texas, caught the shark last week aboard the Orange Beach, Ala.-based Sea Spray while trolling near the mouth of the Mississippi River. It took more than six hours to haul in the catch with the help of nine friends and skipper Bill Staff. It is one of the heaviest shortfin mako sharks ever caught. The International Game Fish Association shortfin mako world record is 1,221 pounds.

thanks bullets... how about we tlk about what the threads ACTUALLY ABOUT.. i see silsbee nowhere in that title.... : Cmon...You know it always comes down to a HJ and Silsbee thread anyway ;D ;D you definitely speak the truth...

I would say Kountze/New Waverly, followed by HJ/Cleveland. WHAT!!! what about YATES/WHEATLEY?? OZEN/HUNTSVILLE?? Are you guys really serious? 8) :....Do you guys EVER look past class 3A? WOW! The Yates/Wheatley game will FILL UP a 10,000 seat venue on tommorrow...whoa. : about as often as you look below the class of 4A ;D

So... umm... HJ/Cleveland @ Kountze at 7:30!!!

Counting them chickens before they are hatched, huh bullets? they've won two since i made that statement...

Coldspring did not want to move their game with Silsbee up an hour or back an hour to accomadate having a doubleheader with HJ/Cleveland, is what I am told. those poor things.

hoping kountze!

hahahaha

Silsbee, 3-2.

You and Bullet make good points. So the next question is this: If you are a 6'2"-6'3" guard with very good D-1 skills and live in a 3-A district, would you move to a larger district to play? or stay put? kind of depends... i went to HJ, and had options to move to several schools around here that were much better at soccer (i ended up playing D3 in college), but i didn't want to leave my childhood friends. also, a kid playing in 3A might have a better chance to succeed ON THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL (like Donahoe and his championship) if they play at a lower level. it's probably a different situation for every player.

a real tragedy... thoughts and prayers from beaumont.

Oooop!!! You're right! Then this begs to further ask the qauestion: Why is it that there aren't any 3-A players playing major D-1 basketball? Is it that these kids are good at the high school level in their respective divisions and lack the skills to play major D-1? my personal opinion on this... a 4A school with 1500 kids, or a 5A school with 4000 kids, is more likely just by sheer numbers of students to have a D1 quality player on it's roster due to the mucher larger pool of players they have to choose from. a 3A school, even a good one, is simply less likely to produce a D1 player. on top of that, those 3A players who ARE good enough to play get less exposure than those in bigger classifications. also, if a coach has to choose between two closely matched players, it would make sense for him to go with a player who's in a higher classification, as that player GENERALLY has more experience playing against bigger, better teams, which will have better prepared him for D1 opponents.

you're lucky. i was gonna bring my favorite golf club. my nine mili... my nine iron.

that's a great problem to have

doesn't he play for Baylor?

you're awake. i'm awake. start walking, we'll meet in the middle. it's go-time, whiteboy.

i hate to hear that. i always enjoyed her as a teacher and a person during my time at HJ. enjoy the break, coach!

I have to agree that Lumberton's goalie is the best i have seen this year, and classy.. doesn't play dirty, he knocked me down to get to a ball, but helped me up right after the play... and those are some good stats as well glad to hear that... lumberton had a goalie several years back who would take any chance to hit you with a knee, shoulder, elbow, or cleats up tackle if he could. i always hated cheap goalies, because the officials are really quick to protect them when you retaliate by taking the opportunity to retaliate on the next 50/50 ball.
