hjsc, first learn to spell since you NEW so much. Please show me where OF was picked third. In most cases we were picked 5th at best. I am not sure what your deal is but guess what, I really don't care. Are you that bitter that I did not want a cheerleader page on a basketball one that no matter what is said you are going to cry about it? Go do some two bits and it will make it all better.

bobcat 05 do you even go to the guys games, one reason for the nomination for OF coach is that no one picked OF to do anything and they are in the playoffs. I agree that HJ and Silsbee coach have done a great job but they also probably have more talent as well. The OF coach had to do more with less. HJ won the games that they should have and OF won games and played games close that no one picked them to even compete.

Look back at your posts, it was implied that Silsbee had such an easier road due to Possible HJ/Navasota game which is still 2 games out. Lets not forget that OF is in the same bracket and has just as good of a chance as being there as well. Of course Silsbee would not want to lose a game for any reason but apparently you are not aware of something called sarcasm! Some of you sure are easy to get rialed up. As for heckler page, glead they have created it that way I know for sure not to waste my time trying to hear anything basketball related. Keep up the cheers though I am sure you all are doing a fine job. ;D

Good luck to you all as well, will crawl back under my old rock now.

I will take the underdog role anyday. Last week the same people said that there was no way OF would beat jasper twice. They also said HJ would kill OF by 40 when they played the second time. So far I love their picks. Granger was All district last year by the way. As far as the athlete part, if you slow down the game does it really matter, then it comes down to disipline. OF by at least 4

maybe silsbee looked at the bracket, saw the easier road and just went out and played, I am sure that scouts were there as well why show everything that you have for a meaningless game, its not like both teams were not already in. It was just for seeding, so why not look for the better matchup? By the way Poppa I was at the game wearing my Hawks Pride t-shirt, kept looking for you at the concession stand was going to buy you a link and a drink just for good sportmanship.

My hats off to Jasper, Bailey reminded me of Kirk Gibson back in the world series, just a tough kid. It is hard to believe that kid is a soph. Spikes was lights out tonight and I really thought the Bobcats were through. Credit to every kid who touched the floor tonight it was one of the best games that I have seen in a while. Granger for the Bobcats was unstoppable tonight and you put the team on your back and carried it. You all showed that you could get it done now let's finish it on Friday.

I think Silsbee by 4, it will be an adjustment game for the hawks to get burrell back in game mode. Silsbee has been playing well and it is a neutral court.

the question is who else steps up for Jasper, Spikes is good but he can't win a game on his own. Chase him all over the floor and make someone else beat you.

thanks so much and I will do that, at least then I know if I come on a thread about the game it is about the game. With the playoffs getting ready to start this is the best time of the year. To the HJ faithful, Lazeek, etc lets talk some basketball. Here is the first question.. Do you think that Burrell being out has made your team stronger for a run in the playoffs?

You are missing the point. Show me any other thread where the majority of the posts are about a cheer squad. I agree that the hecklers have a place, just not when people are trying to talk about the game, not what is going on in the stands. I could care less if a cheer leader is upset because of heckling, it has nothing to do with the game. If you think the hecklers bother the actual kids on the floor I think you are wrong, does it bother the people in the stands, always. It gets the other side fired up but has nothing to do with the actual game. I would much rather talk about why BC or OF slowed down the pace or that Silsbee is peaking at the right time. I think HJ has solid team but you cant talk about the actual game after the fact due to all of the heckler trash talk and how they went on the road bought a ticket and yelled for their team. On the way they also made everyone else mad and no one could be as loud. congratulations you are the best hecklers of all time now please let us talk about what really matters... the game.

I think discussing the game is great, HJ does have the 2nd best team in the district without Burrell. I am not sure that they are the best as Silsbee has been on a tear. Maybe the solution is to put the heckler talk stuff in a seperate category for pep squads or whatever. This is supposed to be about basketball not who can chant "take his whistle the best". Last time I looked the hecklers have not scored a point for HJ this year. I have not seen Burrell or the other team members come on hear and talk crap after every win or loss. 99% of the posts on here are about basketball and great discussions, you have very basketball smart fans and it is good to hear their opinions but it really takes away from it when a when a bunch of high school students just want to talk about the cheer squad and their impact. The impact comes form having a group of guys that play well together, are well coached and show class on the court. So maybe if you would learn to just read the posts and not think that everything is about heckling you would have more support than in just Sour Lake. I would love for someone to win it all from this area but because you antogonize EVERYONE it instead makes everyone turn against your team. Having gotten beaten by both teams this year I can say that I would support Silsbee in a heartbeat no matter what but i would support anyone else playing against HJ because you don't know how to act like you have been there before.

Those comments are why no one in this area outside of your hecklers will ever support your program and why they love it when you fail. Coach Sutherland is a classy guy, good coach, you could learn from the way that he conducts himself. Why do you think that everyone els on the board can get along with everyone else except for HJ carazies? Some of the folk there have great thoughts and posts but then it is all eroded becasue of cocky arrogant posters such as yourself. Grow up, learn from those in your area that understand and really care about your program.

Yall did good tonight pretty well behaved, the score board thing was from the last time. I thought it was a good clean game fun to watch, see we can all get along.

I was sitting right beside you, did not point to the score board, point to my butt or anything lude like what happened over there. I enjoyed the game as people should, I thought that the pacifier was a nice touch, had we of hit that last basket you could have used it on the way home. As for the OF fans, Coach Sutherland himself came by to tell us good job. All in all, you won,, it is bad when the home team shoots 6 free throws to the visitors 18 and we dont even press. Great game though, I will be anxious to see how HJ does in the playoffs. Definitely gotta get something inside because that is definitely not a strength.
