The uil should have thought this through a little bit better before post what they were thinking. You can't compare times with different conditions. I am glad everyone is responding and contacting them and hoping for a better solution. The swine flu problem is not a 2 week thing so the same problems will be at state as this weekend. Cancelling is not the answer everyone let your voices be heard look at the uil website and go to contacts and send your emails.

Jamie King from HJ. She went to Reginals in the 800 and 1600 meters last year. She won district in Cross country last year and was hurt at the beginning of this year but since basketball ended she is working hard at track. She has a very good chance at winning district in the 800 ( was 2nd last year by .09 ) and she will compete in the mile.

Latrisha and Jamie have been pretty sick for 10 days but looked like they were finally getting better last night. When we have them Victoria and Taylor scoring like last night we can win agaist anyone. Sheradan also looked like she was getting better and we are going to need her when we get agaist a bigger team. We get better as we get heathier. I predict a 15 point win and a strong statement.

First I wish the Lady Bobcats much success come friday night and every game they play the rest of this year unless they play HJ again I'll jump off the bandwagon with respect. If the ladies play defense the way they have played agaist HJ and the intensity they will be very successful. I agree with OLGabe as long as they can remember they will associate Navasota with the game. I agree use that memory to fire the girls up and go take care of business and shake their hands after they get the victory and help heal some old wounds in Orangefield.

It was just as bad for the HF players and their parents on Senior Night. Then they stood at the door like Beavus and Butthead. I mean both were buttheads. ;D

The small gym makes the noise louder. It can't be as bad as 3 years ago we had to go to LCM to play ya'll for 2-3 seeding. That was like playing at Bleeds house. It would be great if there a double header like the Koutze vs Dibol game to really pack the house and make it crasy.

I believe you will write a column for the OL that will make it sound like Elvis himself will be there ;D If you want to see 2 of the best in SETX this is the one to see.I'll be there sitting next to Elvis and JFK. ;D ;D

It just don't get any better than this. Another classic from these two is a great way to get ready for the playoffs and It gives our girls a chance to show last friday was a fluke. ;D ;D Lets start the name calling and the mine's better than your's and see what we can get poppabear and bleed to agree to do for the winner. Be creative guys

Looks like Ozen found that acorn you were talking about. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hopefully after the HJ vs Orangefield game the winner could play Kountze tuesday because both 1 seeds should have a bye, Would be a great warm-up game for both teams going into the playoffs.

This was a normal HJ vs Hampshire Fannett game which was hard fought till the end. The HF girls played hard and the HJ girls who where sick played with alot of heart. This was a hard fought battle. On a sour note the HF folks incharge were not only unsportsman in there actions at the end of the game they give the whole program a black eye. They turned out the lights before the girls got out of the locker room. Our girls had a hard time finding their bags and because of darkness. The good folks of HF should get better people to represent them and their kids!

My hats off to OF and the way the girls played. They made the plays and worked hard the entire game. They stopped every run HJ made and they deserve a lot of credit. Now it means more than likely another game to decide the didstrict champion and I believe HJ will do a better job and I am looking forward to the game. I applaude the Orangefield fans you showed up in force like always and the gym was rocking.I know Jamie was sick and LaLa will get it going again so HJ will be ready. Wagner and Fontenot each put on a show great job girls.

I agree with most of your comments Bleed. My point was not really if that article was true but when you put parents in the title that includes everyone with a child. The ones that the statement is about are exactly what you said. I was fortunate to go through little dribblers with great parents who cared for all the kids. The group below ours fought like cats and dogs and was there for their kids only. My experience was great and most of those kids are no longer playing. Just like I would never say coachs are child molesters but a few are. As for Hawks respect is not in the title as you say I'm not a english professor but if your theory holds you must believe that the boss is to be respected and You work for Hardin Jefferson School District which when you get to the top it is the taxpayers or parents it just goes in circles.One day the kids you coach will be parents and taxpayers so you should respect them. Now thats scary ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hey bobcat you want tick the HJ fans off but You might get ticked off yelling on our side STAY ON YOUR SIDE OF THE GYM only winners on my side ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I agree it is true But not all is great for the kid. It says that sports isn't always fair and sometimes discouraging but he wouldn't stand up for his kid because she needed to learn the hard way. Maybe when a bully picked on her he would say deal with it or a molester grabs her he could say learn from this it will help you later. If parents don't stand up for their kids no one else will. Those lessons are for adults not 14-15 year olds. I will respect anyone who is doing their best for their team even if they make mistakes. Not all who spend summers and thousands of dollars are doing it for just their kid. Some and the ones I know did it to prepare them for high school because the experience of going to state is a lifetime memory. I don't know about this teams success but I know for sure the success for HJ and Orangefield, Koutze is a dirrect path to the little dribblers program because you see the lack of success from the teams without parents who work for years to develope their kids for school ball. don't knock the parents who are willing to stand up for their kids! Now I know some parents are nuts but not all coachs are great either. The majority do the best they can and expect the same of others.

I thought it was so funny that they were so upset about what the girls go through all the time. Throw them a crying towel or they can join with the girls and try to change the problems. They wanted certain refs for their game and the girls just want the better ones for big games. They were complaining about only three boys games in the paper and not theirs but their was not one girls game.

Now you have to worry if you play to good you may get played by the media as evil and The losers are hero's. If you have to lose by 100 to get the media to talk to you HJ and OF are in a lot of trouble ;D ;D ;D

Look their are times when there are only 1 page of sports. I'm not blaming the sports reporters but if they want to sell papers they should put in what we want to see and I believe that is more local sports boys and girls. Same goes for the TV stations. We watch local stations to see local news and sports. Thats more important than the weather because its always wrong anyway ;D ;D ;D ;D

Great reply and a great example of a media gone bad. The girls who lost are praised as hero's and the winners who worked hard to achieve their goals viewed as evil. In any other arena the coach of the loser would be the one fired for not having their players prepared to compete. The christian school needs to read their bible and see where it says to lay down and embarrass the weak. If they would have quit playing hard that would have been the wrong message to both sides. I hope the parents of the fired Coach stand up for him and get his job back for his kids. Everyone has heard from the losing players Coach's and media. I want to hear from the winning players and their thoughts.

The only thing I saw in the article that the winner did wrong was press most of the game. A game like that isn't good for the winner because it will not make them better but, could develope bad habits they can't get away with agaist a better team. Cathedral Christian gotbeat by Cypress Creek 3 years ago 105-7. There were opologies for that game. The reason I know is because my daughter and another went to Cathedral the next year and with those 2 girls they went to Cypress Creek who had the same starters and the start of the 4th Quarter the game was tied and Cypress had 2 girls who had signed with D-1 schools. What justice making they sweat. Cathedral lost by 12 points but the 2 girls girls from HJ made them plenty worried.

Now thats play by play good job.Congrats Orangefield.

Thanks for the kind words about Jamie. I am extremely proud of her and her character. Her opions about Orangefield and the competition is the same way I feel. Even when we've lost after a little while I appreciate the rivalry. This is the Duke vs North Carolina of the area. We each work very hard to beat the other starting when the kids are 7/8 years old in little dribblers. These are the ones you always remember.

I usually don't say much on here but: As a Senior and Lady Hawk, I want to be the first to say that it has always been an honor to play against the Orangefield Lady Bobcats. I have been apart of this rivalry since Little Dribblers years ago, and the Orangefield girls have always been great competitors and given us a run for our money. HJ and OF together represent how great District 21 3A trully is. And to all the Orangefield fans, ya'll really are the epitome of what fan support is all about. The next round of district should be equally great. These are the memories that we will never forget. With great appreciation, Jamie King (aka JDAD's daughter) Lady Hawk #22

I almost forgot HJ WINS!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D no disrespect to Orangefield because good competition makes good teams better. Even with a decent point spred the game was hard fought to the end.

Maybe if we continue and get a first round bye and Kountze the same we can play a warm-up game. Thats one I'd like to see. But I'd also like to play the winner of the 4-A bracket oh so many dreams.
