Hardin-Jefferson 26 Liberty 7/FINAL

Recommended Posts

I am happy for Hardin-Jefferson for making the playoffs. It's been a rough, tough season for those guys (injuries and losing close games)

But, here is just another reason why I dislike how the UIL has made the playoffs these days. Yet another 1 win team is in the playoffs. I don't know of any sport (professional, college, high school) that has one win teams make the playoffs. Sad, truly sad.

If it was like the old days where only the DC advanced, y’all would be sitting at home again. 
More kids get to experience the playoffs and the best teams get an easy matchup in round one. I’m okay with it.

I have always liked the two team playoff system. Never have liked the four team. Particularly when you have some 4, 5 and 6 team districts. It only requires a team to win one or two games out of 10. In some cases, 0 wins. (Houston Scarborough made playoffs a few years ago with an 0-10 record) That's ridiculous.

Half the teams making it from a district would be okay with me.  2 from a 4 team district, 3 from a 6, 4 from an 8.  But creating a playoff bracket would be a logistical nightmare.

Scarborough at 0-10 was the first one that I thought of. 
It bugs me more with smaller (4-5 team districts). Even 6 team districts like ours are pushing it. 
Then again in ‘16 Carthage was third in their district and won the state championship. 
Wait... they knocked y’all out in the first round that year didn’t they? NOW I see why you are against it! 
😂🤣😂

If you have 1 or 2 team playoff system, a lot of teams could start dribbling sooner, thats for sure.

My dislike of the current playoff system has nothing to do with Silsbee. But you already knew that.

Always trying to dis the Tigers when you can.

My point is I think it's a complete joke to have a team make the playoffs without winning a single game or just one game but yet there are teams that won 6 maybe even 7 games and do not qualify.

I agree with bullets. I wish there was a way to adjust the playoff qualifiers by how many teams are in a district. 4 team district, 2 go. 5 team, 3 go, 6 team, 3 go. Only allow districts of 7 teams or more to send 4. That way, you have to win at least 2 district games to make playoffs.

If the UIL wants to keep the 4 team playoff system, then they should do whatever is necessary to make every single district a minimum 7 team district.  I realize that this would cause more travel for some schools but the UIL has never really been concerned with schools travel situations anyways.

I agree. A 5 team district with 4 teams going to the playoffs is a joke. District should start week 3 of the season. I'd like to see a Silsbee, WOS, Jasper, LCM, Lumberton, Bridge City, and Hardin Jefferson district.

Yes

I like the four team system , more kids and fans being able to take part. And it gives the better teams a chance to not get so beat up in the first round or two, kinda like what pre district is suppose to be. And just think how much better BC is gonna be next year with that extra week of practice. lol

We could go back to the old format with two go to big school and two go small school, but seemed like every year a small school ended up in the big school bracket.So look at it this way , it gives us something to argue about.

I will always believe a playoff system is flawed if it allows teams with 0 wins or just 1 win to qualify. That's a complete farce.

    • We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.   
    • Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.
    • Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...
    • Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
