it's not uncommon, but if you take a good 4A team and a good 5A team and match them up, the 5A team is generally going to be the favorite. also, i wouldn't hold losing to a couple of much larger schools against Ozen. that was all i was trying to say.

EC is doing a good job of keeping it respectable. I thought HJ would pour it on them.

yup, but they dropped them to 5A schools, like you'd expect a 4A team to do.

6-1 now, with their only loss a heartbreaker to #6 Washington State where they gave up a big lead down the stretch. Baylor is definitely not the pushover they've been in years past.

well-played

i'd say ozen by 10-15 points on a neutral floor. this is not a knock to HJ. when you take one of the top 4A programs in the state, they should beat one of the top 3A programs in the state. Ozen would have a size advantage, and HJ would not have the talent advantage that they usually have against most teams. I don't think this would be a blowout, and losing by 10 to ozen is a very respectable result for any 3A team.

so a 3A team only beats a pretty good 4A team by a few points and you don't think they should be ranked? the game was at LCM, as well. you're out of your head.

Silsbee's gonna really, really want to beat HJ, so they're going to play their hearts out, keeping the score reasonable. HJ 75 Silsbee 62

yup. me too.

Dayton 47 LT 46

i heard they're honeymooning in LaMarque ;D ;D ;D

kind of surprised me that ozen dropped a couple... was this a bad weekend or were these 5A schools?

HJ by more than you'd think. HJ 89 EC 48

kelly's been the only team playing. soon enough we can start threads about other games.

i think the only team capable of beating HJ right now is themselves. If they play as well as they have been, there shouldn't be a better team out there in 3A. If they have an off-night against the wrong team, however, they could be beaten.

silsbee hasn't done anything to show me that they're the better team this year. they've had a couple of losses (including to a team that HJ easily handled), while HJ is still undefeated. HJ just beat the #1 team in the state by 10, silsbee just beat orangefield by 1. i know that OF is playing some good ball this year, but they'll struggle to finish in the top 4 in the district, while TCH is a legit pick for state. I'm not saying that Silsbee isn't any good, or even that they can't beat HJ. We know they're good, and we know that they are capable of beating any team on any night. I'm just saying that at this point of the season, looking at both teams' bodies of work so far, it's absurd for anyone to pick Silsbee over HJ. If silsbee can come in and take a game from HJ in district, it might be time to re-evaluate things. Until then, HJ has to be the favorite to win this district.

man, i sure hate to see that

Good luck, guys! Ya'll have been on fire lately, and i've been very impressed how ya'll have bounced back from a tough start to the season. Keep it up, and bring the trophy home to SETX!

i have to give some credit to a silsbee fan giving HJ props. Good luck to ya'll every game this season except against the hawks

Way to go, girls!

HUGE win for HJ! Congrats boys! If they keep playing this well, nobody will beat them.

that's what i'm talking about! HJ really turned it up in the turn! looking good for the hawks...

i'm surprised that both teams are holding each other to so few points.

thanks Coop, keep us updated

HJ has yet to show any of the "donahoe effect". it looks like they might be every bit as good this year as last year. good luck the rest of the tourney!
