Exactly we must play our best all around te game all year and even that may not be enough.  If things don't go our way and we get down on each other it will get ugly real fast.  Just out if curiosity, how many players did Yates use during that first half?

DV I don't think meant anything deragatory towards him.  I believe it was more towards the language those players must have used.

Lazeek,  I didn't say size wasn't a problem just that in the first half size wasn't that big of a factor.  With Yates size I would have expected a significant lead in rebounds and several blocks on the perimeter from big guys running at a shooter.  Inside yes there were times in that first half where there were blocks and altered shots but I didn't feel like there were that many more than against any good team.  Now sure there were other areas where size played a part.  Every time HJ got trapped in the corner, size played a part. But HJ got out of those traps fairly well.  and yes that size was a factor in many of those turnovers but I still felt HJ neutralized it pretty well at least for a half.  You did hit the point with the depth.  That played a large part in that second half.  Fatigue set in and made size even a bigger obstacle.  Size definitely played a part in that shooting percentage in the second half as most of those shots were made on or close to the rim.  But still like you said depth was the big problem.  Too many fresh legs.

That doesn't leave a whole lot of neutral sites does it?  Lamar would be too close to us,  then Houston.  So unless they go to Lufkin or Nacogdoches it leaves what Baytown or Huntsville?

There is no way we should or will for that matter agree to play in HISD.  Heck,  lets all bring lawn chairs and play at Knupple Park.  If Yates is so much better than us why is Wise worried,  they should be able to beat us at home by 20 if thats the case so just let them cometo Silsbee!!

First off let me congratulate HJ on another good season.  You playe your hearts out tonight and have nothing to be ashamed of.  I noticed a nice moment after the game between Coach Sutherland and Devante Johnson.  It was a long emotinal embrace that gave me the impression of a lesson learned by a young man.  I hate to see a kids career end the way his did but hopefully it taught him a lesson that will make him a better person in the long run. Tonight the big difference in this game wasn't size it was fatigue.  HJ played their hearts out in the first half and neutralized the size difference. They had a nice lead in rebounds that first half and size wasn't playing that much of a factor.  In the second half they began to get tired and at one point so was Yates.  Yates had a nice lead and got to give key players rest. And even though tired when they saw the chance they found energy and went for the kill.  With tired legs size did play more of a factor. Now if my Tigers get the chance to play Yates it will be exciting.  We will have to have a very good game all around.  As far as speed,  I think the Tigers have the edge.  Pace of play may be faster on the Yates side.  If we have a good game,  the big question will be whether or not we run out of gas.  If we don't it could be interesting all the way to the buzzer,  if we do  Yates could pull away.  If the Tigers can stay right with Yates or even have a lead and limit the use of their bench fatigue could even become a factor for Yates.  One interesting thing tonight for me was Melvin Swift ot starting.  I am not sure what starting lineup Yates has had recently, but when I saw them early in the year they started 4 players 6'6 or taller tonight they started only 2 that size.  That takes away a good bit of that size advantage.  The Tigers and HJ are pretty similar in size,  hopefully the Tigers can limit the effectiveness of Yates size. BUT FIRST WE MUST TAKE CARE OF KASHMERE TOMORROW NIGHT.

More like 7 or 8 and usually even 9.

hj needs to put together one of those runs

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1377558" timestamp="1361499311"] That's JY's game plan. Run till they wear their opponent down. Lets go HJ. [/quote] I know that but it's working on them too.

Both teams look tired already.

Good half for HJ

Good start for the hawks.  Now keep it up for 4 qtrs.

What's up with swift not starting?

[quote name="HJ2013" post="1377239" timestamp="1361466268"] Just saying Johnson will be back this coming up monday! He told me himself!  So if we do beat Yates he WILL be playing in the next game! [/quote] Just because he may be back doesn't mean he would actually be playing. ;)

Just like has been said the Tigers must focus on Kashmere and get this win.

Definately wasn't a pristine facility when we were there earlier this year.

Glad it is Thursday. I will attend. [/quote] Are you  going to wear that shirt you bought last year?  ;D

So Silsbee and West Brook are in a double header...

Yes I meant SAM

I will be surprised if you see Johnson on the floor next week for the Hawks even if they do upset Yates and end up at SFA.

This was just two completely different levels of basketball.  Huffman had one real good ball player and not a lot more,  WOS just way to deep for them.

WOS definitely frustrated Huffman, and I am sure that was part of this but it more of  a reaction to a WOS player mouthing in this players face after a whistle.  It happened right in front of me.
