I have congratulated my Tigers over and over and expressed how proud I am, but I also have to say I really hate seeing the kids on the other side. I know how hard it was last year on our guys and us fans. Yes there must be a winner and loser but to see a kid almost singlehandedly keep his team in it and then come up short is never easy. I may not have thought much about it last night or even noticed it in the aftermath but I know how tough it is after last year. Hats off for a great game to Brazosport's Chris Rossow. He has to be right up there with Grimes as far as the best two opposing players I got to see this year.

Yes it's hard to pick a team MVP this year for the Tigers. Harris kind of takes a back seat attention wise to the younger teammates but he would be a leading candidate. He has been a big leader on this team all year long and those were the 4 biggest free throws of his life!!!

This is all tournament isn't it?? All state will come out later.

Thanks! #theonlyonethatmattersisthecurrentone!

Going into each of the last two years, I have heard how having a team as talented as we have had was just asking for trouble, too many players they are going to have issues with playing time. Well I have said it for two years and even though we added a few new faces this year, the result has been 2 state finals and 1 State Championship. This team is special not just because they won that Title but because of the way they have played together and gone through so many trials along the way. This is a TEAM, no one player bigger than the others. Sure they had tough moments but this team picked each other up, no ONE player had to be the "star". The star was whoever was playing best that night. I have never seen a Tiger team that was near the team this one is and I am not talking talent here. This is why they were finally able to get over that hump. Congratulations Tigers on a well earned State Championship!!!! You definitely deserve it!

Don't forget Barnes still has another year as well as a few more on that bench!

I was just going to say the Tigers won this at the free throw line. Can't remember shooting 35 and only missing 8 as well as taking over the boards after being beat on the boards yesterday and even early in the game we controlled them tonight.

Just got his second att beginning of second

You have steered me right many times let's hope tonight is one of them!!! GO TIGERS!!!!!

That wasn't what my statement was about, so don't take it there. My statement was directed at those who said not having him isn't a difference not that we should have him.

One thing, I am proud of every Tiger out there, great job getting a tough win! One thing though that said missing Devon didn't matter, this is one where we definitely missed his rebounding and size and ability to get to the rim with that size.

Anybody know CPR I think I need it...couldn't be there today but had live scoring on my phone and video on the iPad!!! But my voice will be heard tomorrow!!!!!!

Getting beat on the boards!!

Mansfield up 40-25.

Mansfield Timberview leads Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial 22-18 at the half

You can still win playing a bad first half....you can't win if the game winning bucket is waved off on a bad call.

Hmmmm...and refs can't effect outcome....stopped momentum right there.

Thanks!!

Definitely, they used to have a link but I guess it's now just pay per view!

The uil had a live scoreboard a few years ago with play by play and stats. Did they stop that when selling these online pay per views?? I haven't found that the last couple years.

That is true but that ref at that point has still affected the outcome no matter how they reached that point.

Although I agree with the gist of what you are saying, I disagree that a ref can't influence the outcome. Now I am not going to blame or even direct a suspicion to any particular game, ref or instance. But in a close game a bad call or two can definitely influence an outcome, especially say a bad travel or charge call that takes a possible game winning it tying bucket off the scoreboard. And a ref could also take a teams best player or players out of the game with foul calls. And yes I realize it's the players responsibility to adjust but you get into that inconsistency aspect of officiating as well.

We definitely need to shoot our free throws better this weekend. We have done that at times this year. As far as Argyles depth, I don't know, but if they play their game that won't matter much. We need to dictate the pace force them out of their game. Hit the boards and play great on the defensive end.

Seen lots of inconsistency this year.

Didn't know there was a foul call like that. Did know they were calling lane violations quicker on the shooter.
