No, but should have...

Completely agree, totally underachieved, and I don’t blame the girls.  I feel really bad for Jackson, she deserves a Championship, so do other girls in that program. They got outcoached every year at some point. WAY TOO much talent the last 4 years to not win at least one Title. 

Even after they “gelled,” Washington is just better.  Period.  Better players, superior size, and Yates never gets creative with their schemes.  BTW must have had 20 dunks or more in those games against the back end of that press.  JY played as well as they could have at home in the second outing and still almost lost by double digits.  
 
Silsbee has a great shot at another trip to state tomorrow.  But don’t get it twisted that BTW and Yates were basically the same team at the end of the year.  Line em up and play 10 right now and BTW wins at least 8 of them. Future is bright for the Lions, but through next season, HISD belongs to Booker T. 

Booker T. Washington by 15 pts.

OneChance, you may very well be right. However, in my opinion, if she is to have a bright future and play at a big time Div 1 college, BH is not the place for her.

How about dem COUGARS!
Congratulations Big Red!
Awesome run! We finally made it to the big dance!

Each year, Canyon excels at State and well coached; however, Hardin Jefferson should not have lost this game. Canyon didn't beat Hardin. Unfortunately, Hardin beat Hardin.
Jackson was a treat to watch.  Great game!

Philadelphia Eagles hiring Brian Johnson, a Baytown Lee graduate, to join Nick Sirianni's staff as quarterbacks coach. Awesome!

Barbers Hill vs. Fort Bend Hightower
Friday, February 21st @ 6:00 pm @ LaPorte High School

Final Score: 67-44

Absolutely.
Next week, I will be pulling for all four teams from District 21. The games are about to change comparably from "checkers" to "chess."  
 
 

Lol. Yes sir. Particularly, for this forum. Most times, it's my "safe word." 🙂

Immediately, when I read your comment, "But they play the games for a reason..." my thought went to the boy's side, not the girl's. More often than not, the dominate girls team is going to prevail. In my opinion, those underdog victories usually result from a coach knowing what he or she is doing. Also, my opinion, it's easier to coach up an underdog boys team, than it is a girls'. For example, boys' side, I'm likely to have an equally athletic player on my team that I can match-up with the opponent's best player. Girls' side, who am I going to select to keep up with Carter one-on-one? 
I believe someone commented earlier about slowing the game down. That will help BH because the few games I've seen, they run out of gas in the 4th quarter. If BH is going to get past game 2 in the playoffs....will require better conditioning.
Yes, I agree PNG has a better shot than anyone else in the district, but the district is probably the weakest I've seen it in a long time.  

Glad they didn’t run out of gas in the 4th

BH 38
PNG 28
after 3
Finally playing man d and held Carter to 2 points and that was off of a steal and a layup

Nice road win for BH, PNG needs to keep head down and continue to play with grit moving into playoffs....

I've been taking it on here for nearly a decade. I just wonder how long you've been following my work to say something like that though, lol? We have 0 state championships which is the same number everybody else currently in 5A has in this area since probably the late 70's. Matter of fact, I can't name a team in the entire Houston area currently in 5A that has a state title recently. I think Shadow Creek gets one this year before they go to 6A similarly to what George Ranch did before they moved up. Our 5A football is nowhere close to the DFW's and that's on a whole, not just Crosby.

Even though the program has significantly improved under the leadership of the new coach, I agree with you 100%, i.e., "not ready yet." In my opinion, there's no greater experience than being on the same field with an opponent that has the edge on size, speed, and power - particularly.....speed. 
In spite of today's defeat, I tip my hat to the Eagles coaching staff and team, particularly, the QB who played with heart and left it all out on the field.  Heck of a game! Congrats Eagles! I expect today's disappointing defeat will be a stepping stone towards greater achievement. Great season BH!

BH isn't ready for this kind of game yet. That's all I'm saying about the game. Good season Eagles and Good luck Manvel. They're very beatable though.

Oldschool2 is correct. It is "possible to triple team someone when they have the ball and still be able to cover all 5 players when that one person doesn't have the ball." Canyon simply doubled-downed it's strong-side guard and brought the weak-side helper as the third defender.  Personally, however, I believe your question has merit because we may have forced passes and did not test Canyon's "help and recover/help the helper defense."  Without a doubt, Canyon proved to be the better team. I just don't believe Canyon's players are 30 points better than BH's players.
Credit goes to Canyon's fundamental defense and BH's turnovers for BH's limited shots per quarter.
