Won’t affect Yates.  Good news is it looks like you guys will have a cake walk to the Final 4.  Bad news is once there, you’re probably at best the 3rd best team there   Depending on the draw, could make it to the title game though.

 

It is possible that Yates will play Silsbee in the Area, HJ in the Quarters, Austin LBJ in the Regionals.  I do like Region 3 plays Region 4 in the Semi-Finals, let Argyle deal with Faith Family in their Semi-Final.

If there’s not a violation nothing should happen. That’s the crazy thing about rules as long as you don’t break them you usually don’t have an issue 

If the rules are violated but you have friends in position of authority, the incident can get watered down or written as a misunderstanding. My favorite one is

"the incident was discussed between both parties privately and we will handle the incident internally the outcome will not be available to the public"

We will discuss the incident at the UIL Finals Party in San Antonio or at the next class reunion   lol

Yep. Kind of like how HISD takes care of the football schools and the basketball schools that lie in their district. Kind of "look the other way" deal to insure that these teams are successful and rep the school district statewide.

This coming from an HISD admin.

Your statement is probable true, I would prefer to have a person of authority (friend or classmate) that has the power to control the income for the largest inter - school organization in Texas UIL.  At the end of the day, who has the ultimate authority, I'll take UIL for $100 and a trip to San Antonio

One of the top guys at UIL, if not the top guy, is a HJ alumni.  Nothing will happen.

It's good to have friends, classmates in position of authority that can influence the outcome.

You know the UIL won't do jack to those schools. If punches were thrown, the district at least should step in. 

Your changes of hitting the Texas Lottery is greater then The UIL or that particular school district handing out any suspensions. This incident will get swept under the rug as a misunderstanding

The way the UIL did Silsbee, I would expect there to be players suspended. If not, I'd be very disappointed. 

You may be disappointed with the decision, we are talking about HJ and UIL

I think the people coming on the floor made it look like a skirmish when in all honesty I know the players couldn’t hear the buzzer. They kept trying to get possession of the basketball. I had a pretty good view looking down the baseline and it looked pretty uneventful to me .

So you didn't see the player from HJ throw and punch, and the player from Huffman bleeding after the skirmish, little brawl, or fight.  I know three people that saw a few punches and someone needed a cut doctor.

If refs were still on the court the suspension must be delivered.  According to the rules as long as the refs are still in sight then suspensions can be handed out.  
 

I know if it were my Mustangs involved suspensions would happen.  

I second that, if it were my Lions involved, there would be suspensions without hesitation

I wish I could say it was stellar defense that made this one close but in fact it was a very subpar offensive output by both clubs. Huffman was deliberate in their possessions and had a kid that hit some clutch shots early from the high post. HJ countered early with the post play down low letting them get back in it. Huffman left the door open late with continuous misses from the FT line but the Hawks struggled to pull down a rebound off the misses and seemed to be a step slow on all the loose balls tonight. That resulted in a lot of frustration fouls and had Huffman in the double bonus early in the 4th quarter. HJ never got in the bonus . The game was close but wasn’t very good basketball for a game of this magnitude. It will be hard to  issue any type discipline for the skirmish after the game. It started as what looked like a hard play and a no call and progressed to skirmish after the buzzer. Lots of folks in a wad there including players from both teams and fans. Pretty uneventful game for the most part.

This is what makes this particular incident so interesting reading how people describe what occurred from a little brawl, to a skirmish, to a fight where punches was thrown.  You can have 10 witnesses to an incident and get several different stories of what occurred.  Crazy

Question will be, since the clock had run out, how do they write this up? Can't say it happened during game, officially.

The fan involvement is really not the issue here. Just player involvement.

My personal opinion is that this particular incident should be treated as an altercation that occurred on the floor, regardless if it occurred before, during or after the game. Punches was thrown on the court.  If the altercation would have occurred in the parking lot, law enforcement would have gotten involved.  Coaches, and players should be held accountable for their actions.  If the UIL doesn't respond to this incident with suspensions it may open the door for players to just wait until the end of games to seek their revenge.

I have to say i saw and heard HJ fans complaining about the huffman students(during the game not the aftergame part). Yet i really didnt see anything any different than i have seen from HJs students in the past.  Now one question i do have and it is just based on an observation but i saw Davis complaining to the refs i believe between the 3rd and 4th quarter and pointing towards those students, then getting upset with the response.  I was wondering what the complaint was, maybe there was so ething i missed.

This is funny that HJ would complain about other fans, when I recall 2 HJ fans being escorted out of the Yates vs HJ game last year for very poor behavior.

But, I did watch this game from the online link. Was not there.

I am being told by folks that were there that punches were thrown. Be interesting to see how this plays out.

I was also informed from a person at the game that a player from HJ landed a few punches on a player from Huffman, also fans from both teams was on the floor. I can't wait to hear the decision UIL hands down to HJ & Huffman

First round suspension for a fight following a seeding game to determine who you play in the first round of the playoffs would be pretty ironic. 

Wonder if The UIL will get involved to determine if any suspensions are issued or will they leave it up to the school districts.  Let's see how quick this little brawl gets swept under the rug. 

4 minutes ago, AggiesAreWe said:

Yes, a little brawl did break out at the end. Nothing too big.

Huffman will face WO-S and HJ will face Bridge City

I was told that the little brawl as you described it involved fans and players, one player from Huffman was bleeding 

Final

Huffman 39

HJ 38

Fight after the game involving fans and players.  This is what someone at the game text me, can someone verify this incident 

Does any of these teams have an inside game 

Huffman Scoring per qtr. 10, 11, 14

Vidor Senior night at Pirate gym, last time chewing out the refs and questioning the coaching decisions for me lol. I’m going to stay off the phone and take this one in, in all it’s glory. There are plenty of Silsbee fans here to give updates, this might be a long night for the Pirates. First time playing the Tigers in full force in several years. I don’t remember ever seeing Vidor play Silsbee (the real team) in the 3 years I’ve been watching Varsity basketball. That’s probably a good thing with the teams they had, although I would have liked to watch Bush and squad. I’m taking Silsbee by 17 tonight, so maybe I’ll get one prediction right for the season.

Vidor Senior Night at home will probable end with a bad loss for those seniors.  Silsbee by double digits on the road.

Wonder where all of their good players are going... 

These schools comes to mind, Legacy SSS, Premier Academy and Level Up

Similar situation except for the small difference in population to draw from.  Call me crazy but I’d like to field a team from a population of over 2 million vs 6 thousand....

It’s easier said then done Sir, Worthing HS is less then 5 miles from Yates and they can barely field a team. Half of the teams in our district have a difficult time fielding a team.

Yates recruits but that's for another night 

No recruits this year Sir, check over at Hightower, Bellaire, and Legacy SSS, and I and name a few other schools in the area

A 30 point lead in the 4th is some pretty good brakes.

Yes Sir, this is what Silsbee should be doing in this district

Just now, AggiesAreWe said:

Yates is better than Silsbee.

(that's what you have been waiting for someone to say)

No Sir, I actually like the fans from Silsbee.  The coaching staff goes out of their way to stop and talk with me.  The head coach has a VIP Seat waiting for me if I ever make it to Silsbee HS, (that's a long drive from Houston). Yates v Silsbee Games are good.
