Orangefield is going to need to control the tempo, and limit turnovers. Let the big boy eliminate easy baskets, by making Coldsprings set up in the half court. Good luck Bobcats, would love to have a doubleheader with y’all on Friday!

I hope you hear a lot of “Steal and a lay up for the Bucs” 

What game were you watching? They were terrible from the opening tip.  Age and endurance had nothing to do with it. That was the worst officiated playoff game, I’ve ever seen. Top 5 worse officiated game. And trust me, I’ve watched a lot of officiating. Those guys looked like they had not cracked open a rule book, ever. Judgement calls are one thing, but blowing 3 rules... And I refrain from talking about officiating in a negative manner. 

For a few weeks now I have been asked by many people on what I think about the Silsbee/Yates match up. My answer has been the same each time. I'm not that worried about Yates. Are they capable of beating Silsbee? Yes. But they are not the team that concerns me the most. Like I have stated before, it's teams like Argyle, Decatur, Palestine, China Spring, Wilmer-Hutchins and such that really concern me. They are very capable of slowing Silsbee down enough to cause problems and defeat Silsbee. Yates, well they do what Silsbee wants you to do, play up tempo and give up easy baskets. You don't have to shoot lights out to beat Yates. Take care of the ball, defend, make free throws.
Hardin-Jefferson played exactly like they were coached up to do and played a heck of a game. They stuck to their game plan and almost pulled off the win. Had they tried to get in a track meet with Yates, they would have lost by 30. Yates getting hot from three line in 2nd half along with HJ losing a couple of players due to foul trouble was the difference.
I'll take Clay Davis with his game planning and in-game adjustments over Greg Wise and his stubborn will of only playing one way everyday and twice on Sunday.

The place went nuts!

I knew going in that Diboll was the worst possible matchup in that district for OF but still thought it should be around a 10 pt game.  Then the Bobcats played as poorly as I’ve seen them for 2.5 quarters (credit to the Lumberjacks, their defense was smothering all night).  Still you don’t see many games where a team turns it over 36 times and still wins.  Just did an extremely poor job of taking care of the ball.   By comparison, in the two games vs East Chambers (whose defense is easily the best they’ve seen this year), OF turned it over 21 and 24 times respectively.  

Not many are going to outcoach the guy on the opposite bench tonight.  Foster is one of the very best imo.  

Gameday, keep rolling Bucs! 

This is a winnable game for OField. Need to feed the big guy in the post, give him as many easy shots as you can. Open it up for the shooters on the outside. 

Gameday, keep rolling Bucs! 

Just as stated about 1A running through Lipan, can’t talk about 3A without. Brock. Although if EC continues to shoot the ball at the high level it has, no one will beat them. 

Post of the year 

No.  But my wife says I might if I ever get off of this website!

In their respected regions, I see EC and Silsbee the same. The only team that can beat them is themselves. They are the best team in their region and arguably the best in the state (time will tell)

Newton was playing very well halfway thru district play with a chance to take 1st place but a few injuries and team play fell off. We slipped into the playoffs and take on the Bucs first round. Going to be a tough battle for the Eagles. East Chambers has been playing with a purpose all year. Good luck to both. Go Eagles!

If they only have 3 players, going to be a long night. That is unless these three players are the Splash Bros and Boogie lol 

Agreed.  One of the things that most impressed me about them too.  And that’s no accident.  Living legend in the first seat on that bench for many, many reasons. 

Not only does East Chambers have a great team after observing the team and the coach during and after the game they are a class act. Sometimes it's in short supply. Congratulations 

Nice win Bucs! Let’s keep rolling. Best of luck Shelbyville, hope we can all celebrate state championships together in San Antonio!

72-53 after 3. EC had a 9-0 run tonend the quarter 

A lot of teams are going to be against this EC team. And they are really just starting to peak!
