Hj is “lesser competition” in as far as the majority of the Tigers schedule so far but they are still a good 4A squad. However, I saw a different Tiger team in some ways than I have seen in a while. The defense was the best I have seen all year and I am not talking about what would have been affected by our height advantage over their guards, I am talking about the preventing penetration, switching off or covering of the open man when trapping and not giving up open shots. I saw fewer unforced mistakes than I have seen in some prior games. To say it in short we just looked sharper than I have seen us so far. Sure some of that may have been the “lesser competition” but lots of it was just pure Tiger basketball.

It is disappointing that the games don’t have quite the same atmosphere. I am sure if the results were still a little more balanced and we were still in the same district it might be a little more packed. As far as what was being said about the Tigers, I think some are fast to jump but others have noticed that we haven’t been playing up to our capabilities. Not necessarily based on results. I haven’t seen any games the last month or so until last night, but that first half was the best defense I have seen us play all year. Yes the matchup was definitely better for us than some other games. i think the Tigers fans needed that statement maybe even more than the players did.

Who cares we won by 25....we need to concentrate on wins not dunks!!

Man I bet you have a 6 foot goal at home just so you can know what it feels like!!

Haha, good article just noticed that.

One thing I told him last night with this article is that the lead actually reached 30 points at 85-55, 25 points was not the largest lead.

Most definitely. Loved that defense right from the start. And loved some of that inside play as well.

Most definitely. By the way this was the second time in the last few meetings that the fans have finished the anthem. It happened once believe in the last district game we had.

I have to say HJ has had a revival in their student section. A lot more number wise than in recent years and they were really loud At the end of the Jv game. But they sure got quiet quick in the varsity game...........

Yes 87-62 was the final

This was the Tigers I have been wanting to see. Saw lots of positives tonight. Some good defense played and good contributions from everyone. Good statement tonight.

87-62 Tigers win

87-59 only one starter left playing for the Tigers as Hj makes a big substitutions.

One note the Tigers played this one without one of our top reserves, Tre Lowe.

85-55

80-52 Tigers 3;14 left poor reception in here so updating when I can

Tigers playing more players in this second half we will see if we get there. Always expect a hj run in the fourth though.

64-43 after 3

He has definitely been the most impressive hawk tonight.

44-22 6:18 left in third

Thats the score at the half.
