I ageee 100%. If a team is holding it - go out and guard then. Can go man or a trapping 1/2 court zone.

High School basketball does not need a shot clock. UIL sports are not about entertainment. In HS programs - with very few exceptions you have what you have as far as athletes go. IN college and pros they recruit and trade or sign or whatever to make sure they have athletes to compete with everyone in their conference or league. HS does not have that luxury- If you can't match up with a team that has superior athletes then you have to control tempo to give your kids a chance to win. This is actually much more difficult to do than to get them play fast. Especially against a much quicker team. A shot clock in my opinion would actually make these games much more boring. No reason to ever come out and guard if they can only hold out there for 35 or 45 seconds. So teams would hold it for 40 seconds then take a bad shot against a 2-3 zone every possession. Who wants to watch that? And it' not just about the more athletic team trying to slow down the game - many times the more athletic team holds the ball to force the less athletic team to come out and guard them... Case in point - Andrea Boutte - he has perfected this strategy. I was laughing at people posting on here that went to the west book, united game and were mad when West Brook held the ball.. What did you expect from a Boutte coached team. Back in the day I loved watching PA Lincoln and Ozen get a lead and then spread the court and hold the ball making the other team get out of that zone... It was always fun to watch. By saying we need a shot clock to eliminate this kind of strategy says you would rather see teams win by 40 plus points than see a game come down to a couple of possession... HS does not need a shot clock..

Crazy. Huntington wins and finishes 3rd but loses and out. Wow

Oh yeah. That’s right.

Not a win and in game then. Win and your 3rd game. Jasper and Huntington both have clinched playoff spot.

Luck??

Lumberton playing with confidence and controlling tempo.

Does that mean Jasper is in 3rd? And Huntington vs Center Tuesday is for 4th?

Thanks for the updates.

I have seen both teams play several times this season we played BC twice. and played Livingston in spring league.. so I am pretty familiar with both teams. This will be one of the best 4 vs 1 games in region 3 IMO Livingston is prob the better team but BC is very well coached and the senior leadership will keep them in the game. Two different styles for sure. Could be way off - who knows... but interesting conversation

Hardin vs Woodville Monday 7:00 in Lumberton

PAM vs BH at Vidor Friday 7:00

Fairfield vs Carthage Tuesday night 7:00 at Rusk

Huntington vs. Palestine Monday night 7:00 at Wells

Would of been a good idea!

No sorry - same gym we have had since 1970 something...... We keep it as nice as possible -it's not a bad place for a first round game..

lol

I'm hearing here in Jasper...

Jasper vs Mexia Monday Feb 11th 7:00 at Crockett HS

Center/Rusk being played in Nac HS on Tuesday, Feb. 12 @ 6:30p

Front runners -

Center - Last year 0-8 in district and 2-20 overall Coach Doug Boone doing a good job over there getting that program going in the right direction and has some good players coming back next year.

I think you are good right where you are in 3A... lol

Very weak district...

I can see BC beating Livingston... 4 over a 1 Will be a good game either way.
