Before I say anything,  let me say I was impressed by HF tonight.  They played hard and played good.  To answer  some of your questions Lazeek,  the Tigers are definitely missing Coach T.  I have faith in both Collins and Brooks but right now something is missing.  Not blaming either of these 2.  And yes the Tigers missed Lane as.  His length could have made a difference on the defensive end and he would have helped on the boards and offensive end as well. We also didn't have the depth we are used to.  Only played 9 players tonight  suited 10 counting Lane.  HF could very well be a playoff contender if they keep plyaing like this.  Their height was tough for the Tigers to deal with and they handled the pressure fairly well most of the time.  And just like the predictions on here maybe the Tigers did overlook the Horns a little bit.  I bet that part won't happen in Silsbee. The Tigers are definately not playing their best ball right now.  Offense looked sluggish and too much complaining about the game instead of playing it.  I really thought the Tigers would have a fairly easy night but HF didn't let that happen.  Great effort by them.  And way to hang in there and get the win Tigers.

WOW....this district is crazy this year.

WOW!! Sounds like a great 3rd quarter for the Hawks!! Good win.  And yes WOS should take third,  even after HF impressed me tonight.

Not sure but it sure shows that the Tigers are missing him!

45-33 m Late in third

I believe we are in week 3.

I have to say HF is better than in years past. No Lane unless needed.

Go ahead 'Horns put a "Yates" beatdown on those aggies!!

Nice post Lazeek!  Thats what the Tigers must have been doing to: looking forward to friday!!!! :D :D :D :D

As far as DC and Prentice I would like to think they spent more time on the bench resting(due to our depth) than their HJ countpart,  but I am not sure that was the case. DC has done a good job staying out of foul trouble this year but not sure how many games he completed without any. [/quote] No impact on the game, but very hard to imagine any starter from a very physical and pressing team able to go an entire game without committing a foul- correction - going an entire game without being called for a foul.  Any my perception was that the starters for Silsbee played MORE than normal.  Looked like the platoon plan was abandoned early when it was not bearing fruit. [/quote] Not sure the starters played much more than normal,  when compared to other tight games.  The platoon system, at least in most games I have seen,  is used mostly in the first quarter unless its a blowout.  Then normal rotation.  You are correct, in that it is hard to go a game in our system without a foul.  DC was helped in that he mostly played defense outside, on Bosha a lot, instead of under the basket stopping drives and attempting to block shots. 

WOS played very well.  I wasn't sure about them earlier in the season,  now they are a very strong bet for that third playoff spot.  The Tigers  have not shot the ball well the last two games,  granted some of that is credited to both HJ and WOS but even open shots and inside shots haven't been falling. DC got frustrated tonight and it showed.  His third foul was a little questionable,  not necessarily a bad call,  but he lost his cool a little and drew the T.  The bench played very well tonight,  they earned this win.  DC has to not let the refs and other parts of the game not effect him so much.  Play his game and let the rest fall where it may.  We need to find a way to et the ball to him inside more.  Teams are sagging on him and making it hard,  we just need to work harder and start the offense through him.  It will make it easier for everyone.  I hope Prentice isn't out for too long, even with our depth missing one of your top 2 players is tough.

24-19 tigers at half

[quote name="SHSTIGER" post="949649" timestamp="1295246760"] I thought we had only played them once, at the Fred Williams Classic. [/quote] Played them in the playoff warm up too, I believe.  Unfotunately I was working for both of them.

I have said it elsewhere the top 5 or 6 players on these teams are pretty equal,  the difference is the difference is the Tigers have more depth.  The Hawks have just as good a chance at winning as do the Tigers when those top players stay in the game and stay fairly fresh.

[quote name="SHSTIGER" post="949614" timestamp="1295239156"] Pretty sure Kountze beat Silsbee last year. [/quote] Unfortunately yes the Tigers lost to the Lions twice last year.

That's the only way HJ can have the last one!!!!

Poppa, I guess I will give you a vuictory in the last meeting between the us as long as it is district or a district tiebreaker.

The girls loved it I am sure, but it sure made for a long evening. If our girls would have kept it interesting it would have made it go by faster.

By the way not being able to wait for round 2 wasn't meant to take away from any other game. I just love seeing the atmosphere of this matchup.

Definately. They seem to have come together well. Early on it looked like they would have to fight for a playoff spot. It looks like they are the definite favorites for one now.

Can't wait for round two!
