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!!!

HAWKS ARE STATEBOUND!!!

Jasper to the line for two, but only 6.4 left.

56-47 after a Jasper 3. 19 ticks left, Jasper ball.

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.

Hawks lead 46-40. still taking quick shots.

44-38, Hawks lead. 18 points for spikes. hawks taking quick shots. they need to milk the clock a bit.

Jarvis hits with 2 seconds left, Hawks lead by 10! HJ 44, Jasper 34. HJ outscores Jasper 24-5 in the 3rd quarter!!! Benard with 17 points in the quarter, 23 in the game.

15 for jarvis in the quarter, 2 for Jasper.
