Dime Box Longhorns vs. Spurger - Monday at 6:30 at Willis

Haha, I know you aren't trying to build up Hardin over that VERY controversial game years ago. As I showed you once before, that year you guys beat Bob Hope by 1 point, 50-49. Lets keep it real.

Should be fun if we get that rematch this year.

I recall when I was at Port Arthur Bob Hope getting beat by Kountze 126-41. Sutherland is a classy dude, I'm sure he did everything he could to keep it down.

@ the Jasper Tournament.

I saw this one on Maxpreps this morning. Not a bad start, Bob Hope is now 2-0 and have outscored their opponents 16-1.

Houston Math & Science is actually Houston Sam Houston and they reload in basketball every year (although they stink at football, they were in our district when I coached at Westbury). For basketball they are SOLID.

Uh, that year Hardin came to Port Arthur and Hardin only won 50-49....... 1/108:00p Hardin (Hardin, TX) Location: Bob Hope High School Box Score (L) 50 - 49

I'll just throw this out there as my opinion. One year when I was at Bob Hope we opened up the season 7-0, playing a steady diet of 1A and private schools. We were in UIL 3A at the time. Our first district game was at home against East Chambers. If I remember correctly we lost that game approximately 120-40. Our boys soccer team on the other hand barely finished above .500 for the regular season. However we played the absolute toughest competition we could find. That team lost in the regional quarters to Hargrave on penalties and was a hair from advancing to the tournament. That coach won Southeast Texas Coach of the Year. I'll take a tougher schedule and a worse record any day of the week.

Dime Box was beating Tenaha after the 1st last night, but man they are crazy solid. #2 for Tenaha shot lights out.

Not sure, as I am no longer there and I'm out in the Hill Country, but I know they have a girl up top that will be a senior who I would be shocked if she isn't at least at an NCAA Division II next year. Her older sister played there last year as a midfielder and is now at Paul Quinn College's soccer team.

Saw this one on maxpreps last night. Nice start for the Eagles who are senior loaded with at least four boys that should play college ball.

Doesn't matter who you root for, its obvious RJ is a special talent.

Yeah, I hear they can grind it out. They had a game last year where I was told they passed the ball 19 times before they took a shot. They look for those high percentage shots for sure. Very solid program though, they always make deep runs.

What should we expect from Moulton? They are in our district (we have three state ranked teams in our district Moulton #8, Waelder #11, and us at #19.

Don't feel bad, Lipan beat us in the state semifinals two years ago. They are a beast.

Yeah that happens. 6 freshmen coming on up is pretty helpful though. We are looking to be senior heavy this year. Had a good first game the other night, beat Milano 89-10.

How's Leggett looking this year? We might meet you guys in that regional final this year

We get no love lol. Ranked #20 in the state and picked to come in 3rd in the district (although Moulton is ranked 8 and Waelder is ranked 11th in the state). Should be a heck of a district battle!

That makes sense. Outside of Kountze, Lipan, and Shelbyville I haven't been able to find much. Do you know any of those other squads?

I was told they were actually increasing the number of teams to 44 this year.....

We are actually headed out to East Texas over the Christmas break for the Tenaha tournament. We are ranked #20 in the state at the moment, but in looking at last years list there were some tough ones there. Does anyone know who all might be playing the Holiday Hoops tournament this year?

Bob Hope was in that district with Hardin and East Chambers last year but moved over to TCAL. I think they beat Kountze earlier this year, but they have been blowing out their district in TCAL and will probably be playing for the TCAL 3A state championship in a couple of weeks.

I know that's what I've always seen from every program I've been in for football. If you have a player (or a team) that can't keep it under the control, you play aggressive because it will set them off. You have to be able to get past that. As far as the complaint about both sides jawing, my take on this has always been to be the bigger person and let the scoreboard talk for you. It doesn't matter if the other guy is calling you everything under the sun, you saying something back will not add a single point to that scoreboard. In my time in PA I noticed that Memorial was always stacked with NCAA caliber players. If they can get the penalties taken care of they should be just fine.

You guys are spot on. I used to be a varsity running backs coach at Westbury. You find kids with some talent but there is just no consistency. I'd like Memorial by 35+ in this game.
