Rockin A

Did anybody spot the Honorable Dan R. Hooks?  If so, which side did he sit on?

The real question is where will The Honorable Dan R. Hooks sit tonight?  On the WOS side or on the side where his son plays. 

Great youtube link, SGT Rey. 

It's amazing what some will do to avoid the Sutherland smackdown. 

I bet he drank the "hope and change" cool-aid.

;D

After watching LU lay down and give SHSU the win last weekend, nothing could get me back out there any time soon.  It was painful. 

Todd Sutherland and his staff deserve a lot of credit for the team's success year in and year out.  Folks constantly want to count the Hawks out, but yet, from somewhere out of nowhere, Sutherland and crew lead the young Hawks to the front of the pack.  Though they don't win state every year, the fact that HJ is this deep in the playoffs every year speaks volumes for the coaching staff.  Coach Sutherland is THE catalyst for HJ's success.  Congrats go the team and unlimited respect goes to Coach Sutherland and his assistants.  Great job, gentlemen!

It was truly painful to watch tonight's game.  LU willingly gave it away.

Well I hope this isn't the "Kiss of Death" for you, HJ!!!

let it go and support 21-3A

Lazeek, you rock!  I never would have thought THIS matchup would be worthy of a broadcast.  Thanks for your continued efforts.

Don't congratulate Dove too much.  He does a good job of doing it on his own.

Does anybody know if BC's Stringer is still playing?

61-57, Silsbee

Now dat der is funny!  :D

Al Caldwell, then Mike Sanchez; nothing personal, but Dave Hofferth is not even close to those two.

I believe it will be a back and forth game that will come down to free throws and turnovers.  Gut instinct is Silsbee wins by 5 this time but HJ wins when they play in Sour Lake. 

Anybody know the free throw percentages for the top 5 of each team?

You're right, soulja, they're not funny...they're hilarious!

Years ago, while still playing for LU, Kenyon Spears coached at some LU summer camps.  He was my kids' favorite, so I have to go with him.  Obviously he was a good player, but he also seemed to have a unique ability to communicate with the kids. 

HF's off-season program would ruin him for sure...that's why he's transferring to HJ.

What a shame...just another example of a professional and well-respected coach trying to create a standard for those who will eventually play on his team only to be overruled by administrators afraid to tell parents where they can take lil Johnny to play by a set of rules they agree with.

I certainly hope these same administrators don't do the same thing when this same lil Johnny finally enters Silsbee High School.  It certainly sends the wrong message to not only this kid but his teammates and every other parent who has wondered what would happen if they made a stink about a certain rule they don't agree with. 

Rules are rules, and participating in extracurricular activities is a privilege, not a right.  It's irrelevant if it's participating in cheerleading, band, math club or a sport.  In the grand scheme, is it really significant that a junior high kid has the rules changed for him because his parents made a stink and the administrators didn't support their coach?  Not particularly, but it's just sad.  If my kid's coach said that in order to play on his team, all players had to wear a yellow watch, you can bet I'd be at Academy looking for a yellow watch...actually two yellow watches because I know he'd lose the first one. 

Is this the only area in Texas where 5A schools routinely play 3A schools?  That was unheard of back in the day; maybe playing one level down, but never two.  The 5A schools have everything to lose and nothing to gain as they are expected to win those games every time.  I just don't understand why a 5A coach would even consider playing 3A teams. 

it's all soulja's fault    :D

The Butch jokes are hilarious and plentiful!   :-*

The sad thing is they are all true.

Silsbee will score early and often and run away with this one.
