Mean Machine

Just a thought, Orangefield lost to Silsbee by single digits earlier in the week. One Chance has spoken of Orangefield's overall strong guard play. Think this is gonna be key when teams play against Silsbee. If you don't have a good guard rotation, you may be in for a long night. 

Jasper improves to 6-1.  That can be a tough gym to get a W in
we were down 10 with 4:30 left.   Girls showed some toughness to come out of there with a win. 

I think it was 52-8 at halftime when we left . 20 pts allowed in the second half by the Lady Hawks, there may need to be some extra running needed in practice, lol.
On a serious note, it was a very emotional moment seeing the tribute to Alix Neel. As a father, I can't even begin to comprehend something as tragic as what the family is dealing with. My prayers to them.

Alpha, i did not see Coach Brown, thought i saw Crosby coaches. Texas City has length, but i think United should be able to control game, especially with Big Ash in the post. Just my opinion  of course. 
Lumberton missed shots and Texas City was very good on team free throws.

Looks like it was a close competitive game by the score.
If I may ask you a question Cat22, based on the score, it appears Orangefield was able to somewhat control the pace of the game and work some half court offense? I know Silsbee likes to get up and down the court, was just interested how Orangefield dealt with that. Was also curious if Silsbee was scoring in transition primarily, or were the getting it done in the half court as well. I know they have a strong group over there in Silsbee.
Good luck to Orangefield as the season progresses, I like the way the young ladies play, lot of heart and effort.

HJ wins 88-38.
Lady Hawks hit 15 threes in this one.  HJ now 5-1.  Next game is vs East Chambers at Home On Monday.
 

Final
Lumberton  65
Cleveland  49
Cleveland  coach made some nice adjustments from this weekend's game and had her ladies in position to make plays which they did, which improved their scoring.
Lumberton had balanced scoring from the guards and good scoring from post as well. They missed a number of good looks, but played at a good pace overall.

Sure thing Coach. All these young ladies at all the schools work very hard as well as the coaches who are developing them. They deserve the recognition for their efforts.

Well run tournament with some amazing talent!  The twin guards from Jersey Village are two of the smoothest I have seen in a long while!  Big Post Player from Lufkin and Summer Creek were dominant and the guards from Desoto were like hyenas...   For us to go 2-1 against these type of teams says alot for the work our girls have put in.  Lots more to improve, but a god start for the Lady Hawks.
Today was the 4th top 25 6a team HJ has played in the past 2 weeks.

Have to give the JV girls a shout out for taking 1st place at the Bridge City JV tournament and the Freshman taking 3rd place at the Bridge City Freshman tournament. I wish I had more info, but super proud of them. Keep working hard ladies!

Good hard fought game by both teams. Lot of hustle and positive effort by both squads on both sides of the ball.

Off season is done, try outs are over, scrimmages are complete! It is the real deal, starting today the girls will play there hearts out, dive for loose balls and give it everything they have. Good luck to all the girls in the area, stay safe and play hard and hopefully we will get a chance to have teams from our area representing at Regional finals and in San Antonio in February! Make it count!

Barbers Hill at Legacy Friday Nov. 2 @ 6:00

Lumberton vs Barbers Hill scrimmage last night was in the format of four separate quarters where each quarter the coaches seemed to work on different sets and player lineups in each of the quarters.
IMO in terms of the Varsity game, Barbers Hill  looked pretty sharp and played with crispness and fast pace. They have a lot of length and really ran the dribble hand off well in their half court set. They rebounded well and transitioned to offense nicely, which got them a NUMBER of transition baskets. They ran man and different zone defenses at times through the game, and looked pretty far along in terms of understanding team defense concepts.
Lumberton effort was good, but the roster is still being determined based on what I saw with all the different lineups that were used throughout the night. This in turn made the play a little choppy at times on both sides of the ball, as all the girls haven't assimilated the sets that Lumberton runs on offense, and haven't had time to gel defensively to the level Coach is looking for.
As Raider24 had posted a few days back, it is largely a young team, and it will take a little time to get up to the speed and intensity that the good programs in the area play at. That being said, there were some nice flashes by the group of guards Lumberton has, and the post play looks to be an area that can be a plus offensively, once the running of the plays becomes more efficient. 
Lumberton will benefit from the scrimmage this Saturday, as their biggest need appears to be playing in "Game" situations at "Game" speed.
I believe Barbers Hill plays Legacy this Friday Nov 2nd, which should be a good game/scrimmage to watch. Please correct me if I am wrong about the date of this game.

Silsbee will play at United November 24th, should e a good one...

I can't believe these 2 programs couldn't get a game worked out for whatever reason.  They don't even play in any of the same tournaments to have a possible chance of playing each other.

Have lurked on the SETX site for years, only recently got an ID. I think girls basketball has always been a little under the radar in terms of posts, but agree more support is a good thing. There are going to be some interesting story lines and some pretty good basketball played this year imo.
HJ will be a force as y'all have stated, and should be a much watch game for people at some point during the season. United should be really stout as well.
To mess with One Chance a little (since he will be able to quickly figure out who I am (lol)). In spite of his earlier post about Lumberton having nothing and lost everything, the program isn't putting plywood over the doors to the gym just yet. As Raider24 stated in another post, they will be young but scrappy. Should be a great year. Good luck to all the young ladies in the area and I hope for health and success for all.
