Cardinal 1

Those coaches weren't basketball coaches so them only winning 2-3 games a year made since. As far as the 4 players that came over, only one was on varsity and a ranked player with college intrest prior to coming and he wasn't transfering but returning to the district. The other 3 were talented freshman who left BU for academic reasons or homes got damaged in the flood. I know at least two of them are honor society and have academic scholarships. Rideaux helped those 3 develop into all district and one into an all region player. This notion of recruiting needs to stop as it is a lie! Those boys came to HF due to circumstances and decisions outside of basketball! My son returned to HFISD (yes he went to the elementary school he and his brother) purely for academic reasons as he was already being recruited and ranked Texas Top 100. He has a 4.0 and multiple academic scholarships that will go along with his basketball where ever he goes. Stop throwing shade at these kids and their families! These are good kids from good families and don't deserve to have that lie hanging over their heads. My son lost his entire junior and along with it D1 interest because of lies, jealousy, and deceitful tactics from adults in education and administration that are supposed to be all about these kids success and not their own personal vengeance, careers, or a dang basketball record. 

Nimitz has won 21 games this year.  They won 16 in the last 2 years combined. First playoff win in over a decade.  Same team came back.  Thanks for making my point for me 😂🤣

I agree the culture changed when they hired actual basketball coaches.  After watching about 60 games or so the last 3 years, I feel like I have a good handle on the teams capabilities and what could have been.  I also enjoyed watching your son cardinal 1 and my son enjoyed playing with him, he tried to play team basketball even though he could have fallen right in with the me, me, me stuff, he didn't.  I think he will do well at the next level.  

They probably would have finished the same.  To much me,me,me on the team and not enough team.  That showed last night and in previous losses with HJ and Huffman.  The Washington team played together and should go far in the playoffs, if not outright win it.  As soon as HF got down, one player tried to take on the whole Washington team and all the others could do was stand and watch.  Washington was hitting shots and making great passes to the open man.  They were just as excited to make a great pass as they were to hit a shot.  You did not see that from HF at all during the big games over the last three years.   You might say well, the coach could have changed that but even with the previous coach the same thing was going on.  That has been the problem with them the last three years.  This team won a lot of games over the last three years but overall were a big disappointment because they couldn't play together when they needed too.  HF should be ok with the new coach in charge because the kids he has coming thru the next few years play together and share the ball.  

Barrett is one of the best around. The HF coach is going to be a good one, he’s had a rocky season but it’s not from lack of knowledge about the game 

Why are you so upset? I don't even know who you are nor am I the one who brought up the young man leaving the game. I never saw him leave and didn't know until the game was in the 4th that he was gone. We all are accountable for our own actions and decisions life. These are young men who 8 will enter the real world in 3 months. Whatever the kid is going through I hope and pray he finds some resolution and peace. If criticism or the critiquing of play and actions in a basketball game gets a kid and whoever you are upset then there's a long road ahead of you because that's life in general. But do remember it's just a game. Have a bless night, hope you and the young man find peace. 

At this point I don't think its up to Coach K. His teammates were pissed off and under no circumstances do you walk off the bench and out the gym with a whole quarter to play because your coach didn't put you in the game. You can be upset at the coach and the staff, but you don't abandon your team. 

I thought he made it.
As for #2, he put the team on his shoulders after #5 & #23 fouled out and #4 quit (as simple as I can put it).
I agree, there were lot's of offensive fouls but for the most part, they were legit calls. It was Houston Chapter who officiated the game. I thought they did fine.
Glad I went. Game was very entertaining.

I believe they can. HJ has the advantage in the post and a good press.

It was a good game. Both teams went at each other. The difference in the end was free throws as is the culprit in most close games. Huffman hit theirs in the closing minute we didn't. They had a chance under the basket to win it and did. Their big man gave HF fits all game, he played a great game. Nice footwork and a soft touch. Was a good game for any basketball fan

President Teddy or Rough Riders Teddy? 🤔

Teddy, not Franklin…

This is first year Yates hasn’t won its district since the Roosevelt administration…

Yates won their district last year not Washington. Silsbee played Yates in 2nd round.
The brackets have not changed.
I posted the link to the brackets. Same as last year.

Good defensive battle the first half. HF was a little cold but stayed locked in on defense. Down the stretch HF just made more plays on both ends and put the ball in the hands of their playmaker and their floor general to finish the game. Got solid play from some bench players,  #20 & #0 especially. HF bench outplayed Livingston's and that was a huge difference in the game. 

McDermott is who I'm talking about. 

Yikes.  Reminds me of Lumberton and LCM punting the ball back and forth on 1st down a couple of years ago trying to dodge Carthage 😂.  I’m kidding of course.  Kind of. 

If you were at this game, it was clear as day why we lost. It was a great game for about 2qts and then one player on our team decided that he needed to no longer play team ball and turn the ball over 4 straight trips. Then our coach decided it was a good idea to sit our all region PG and our best shooter for most of the 3rd qrt. Our two best scorers and barely touched the ball after dominating the first half because their ALL REGION PG WAS ON THE BENCH! Who by the way was cooking as well in the first half! They lost because of a selfish player (who by the way had a tech and a flagrant foul that resulted into 4pts in the first half, then tried to fight Sears after coming out the locker room when RJ came to shake his hand) and horrible subbing. Hats off to HJ and Coach Davis for a perfect game plan in the 2nd half forcing the ball into that player's hand and watching it perfectly unfold. His guys came out and smelled blood in the waters. Sears was amazing, Isaiah Malbrough was the game MVP for me. HJ played team ball in the second half, HF didn't. This lost was solely on our coach unable to control one of his players and not benching him, along with bad subbing

That’s a simple fix that should ve been addressed pre district.  

If all 5 starters got pulled and have no idea why 24 games into the season I don’t need to hear anything else. HF will catch a break getting Huffman next week at Hamshire. That would have been a tough one in Huffman and a 3rd loss will all but eliminate them from title contention. 

Defensive down the stretch and overall rebounding determined the game. Plus some big shots by HJ (Davis) sealed it. Was a good game, the better team won that night.

As a varsity coach myself, I can tell you 100% during close or tough games we do get tunnel vision and sometimes will get caught up only focus on one thing during games. That's why we have assistant coaches. I've made many mistakes in subbing, calling timeouts, play calls, etc....over my career that has cost games. It happens and any good coach will admit to it and apologize to his players and staff for it. Coach Kenebrew is that type of coach and the players and parents respect that about him. No the season isn't going as many imagine, but I knew there was a possibility it wasn't and have said that much to other parents when they criticized Coach Kenebrew. He's a good coach that had certain expectations or ideas of the type of players he had top to bottom and finding out otherwise. I believe he'll make adjustments and get them on track.

If HJ gets into a run and gun versus Silsbee they will get ran out the gym. If they can slow the game down and force half court possessions, they will be in the game. Silsbee wants a track meet and has more sprinters then HJ.
