Should be the standard.  4th place teams in 6-7 team districts should just be happy to get a shot and another game.  Rental and travel cost reduced for school districts that are limited on funds anyway. 

Isn't this the regional quarterfinals?

The BC Hype was so real for a minute 😂

Last year Cuero lost in the State Semifinals to China Spring who won state the next week and do have an impressive record this year.  That first round OT win against a 4th place Salado would say anything can happen. Anyone playing the week of Thanksgiving is good and that now includes HF.  Congrats!

Didn’t attempt it.. no idea on that one.. the kid kicking off has put two in the end zone

Gold Bracket

Nice Tournament for 21 4 A District
Good Job by Dayton ISD hosting!

Silsbee won at HJ and then HJ won the 2nd one at Silsbee in 2015.

That’s a good win

2015 @ Silsbee last HJ win
2016 @ Silsbee 72-62 Silsbee good game
the rest is a blur

Most important.. Were all the Pirates on the ship tonight?

If only they had all their players in Pool Play...

Best big with his back to the basket in our area since Weisbrod imo

These kids are having to "defend" themselves way too often.

I would tend to agree with the too many on the list, football seems worse but maybe it's about the same.  I don't like that players who miss a significant portion of the district season are eligible. Maybe there is a case to be made for an injury (maybe not)  but being academically ineligible, no excuses in my opinion. Student first!! 

I wonder at times if we don't all lose some perspective on how competitive our area and particularly our Region is.  We beat each other up on this board (mostly in fun) but we should be thankful for the players, coaches and parents that put so much time and $$ into creating a good competetive environment.  It is frustrating to see a team like Levelland who frankly was not very good getting an opportunity to have a State Tourney experience when if they played in districts in our area they might not make the playoffs. There's no real solution and every Region will have down years from time to time  but maybe it's time to take a minute and appreciate what we have and that is quality HS sports competition that everyone should be proud of.  

Good job shepherd, great year! Was down 29 at halftime, never gave up. Good luck HJ rest of the way

And as the 3s rained down from he and his teamates we saw exactly what have seen before.. no 3 fingers tapped to the head, no airplane arms back down the court and no stirring the pot to the stands or the bench. Somehow though, he continues to find ways to keep himself motivated. It is inexplicable. 

Hopefully these coaches dropping out have enough integrity to go ahead and notify Coach Davis of their intent so they can have their butts replaced.  Maybe you could do that as their spokesperson. Great tourney, only got better this year.  
Any HS coach that can tolerate the sort of bs they have to put up with from message boards, parents and "fans" these days for more than 5 years is GREAT in my book.

Best stat I heard tonight.  HJ's group of senior basketball players (9 kids total) have a group GPA of 3.5!  That's an incredible number and something to be really proud of.  Keep that up and they will all be going places! 

There seems to be some mental block on last year.  Silsbee had a chance to win a district title at home and could not do it.  Lost to HJ and were Co-Champs.  This is your friendly fact checking portion of the thread.

Please.  Blasted by a LOADED (questionable) roster of D1 talent.  Sterling was at least an all Houston team with 5 seniors playing who outplayed Silsbee .  You can maybe question the Sterling team but there is NO DOUBT that the Bridgeport team was a scam and disgrace on the part of the UIL.
