They are definitely a scrappy bunch.

Tarkington beat them 25-14 and then dropped two sets in a row. 
 

PNG beat them first set then dropped two straight also.

I’ve been telling people buna was gonna have a pretty good team this year. They should get first in their district this year

I think Hardin, Orangefield, and Anahuac will have something to say about that. Yes, Anahuac is up there too.  Athletic as all get out and can play. 

Hardin beat Huffman in the first set Saturday, but dropped the last 2.

Don't count EC just yet, either. New coach has them playing with a purpose!

Doesn't matter.  That's one game in a tournament, which happens to be a best 2 out of 3 sets. In district, it can go to 5 games. A win in a tournament does not guarantee a district championship win and those teams have to play each other twice.   
A few years ago , Orangefield dropped from 4A to 3A and thought they would just sweep everyone in district for an easy championship.  Hardin beat them twice that year and Orangefield did a have a pretty good team as they only had 2 district losses. 

Granted, this year is different but your statement makes me think you've already counted Hardin out and you shouldn't.

I’m just talking a little crap trying to keep this volleyball thread interesting no need to get butt hurt

Some of you folks aren't actually here to talk volleyball.  Stirring the pot is what y'all like to do.  

Yes, we have lost games.  Are we upset about it? Not at all.  It's all game experience to get better as a team.  I don't know if anyone noticed but Vidor came into Hardin having won the Silsbee tournament and was 7-0, but lost in 3 sets.   Like I said before, tournament/non-district games don't really matter.  Those games are to get ready for district play. 

In my opinion, volleyball is down all across the board.  Even Huffman, who is coming off a state volleyball run last year, is down.  They are still good, but not the same as last year.   I have not seen many dominant teams this season, with the exception of maybe Tatum and Jewett Leon.  

Edit: I want to say that the last paragraph is based on what I have seen.  I am sure there are some really great teams out there and I just haven't seen them.  I'm sure Barbers Hill is one of them.  I've never seen them play, obviously due to my job.  I'm sure y'all think it's funny I post on here but I actually do love volleyball and like to see the legit info that is posted here.

Jewett is usually always solid… usually Bellville tries to find a way to get them on the schedule… guess they couldn’t for this year. I agree about volleyball being down in areas… but like you said there are still some good teams out there

Are you saying Barbers Hill is down? 

During Vidors 7-0 start, did they play anyone with a pulse? Records aren't always the end all be all, need to look at who they are actually playing. BH has played some big time programs, not sure anyone else in the area has played anyone remotely in the same ballpark.  If you are only playing other teams from the Golden Triangle you might want to step out and play some other areas. Bridge City stepped out and played the Dickinson tourney two years ago and never came back, the same tourney BH has reached the finals 3 years in a row and won it back to back. Nederland has played in the John Turner two years in a row in Pearland and has finished in the bottom both years. My opinion is BH is close enough to Houston area club volleyball that their players develop at the top levels of club where as east texas/gold triangle has a hard time keeping up due to logistics. Until that changes the level of volleyball in HS will not change. 

Huffman lost some srs last year including their setter so that is tough to replace. They got on a magical run last year but for perspective they lost to BH 3-0 last year and 3-0 the year before.

No, I did not say BH was down.  I said it was based on what teams I have actually seen with my own eyes.  I have seen teams this season that are generally strong, like Huffman, be weaker than last year's team.  I hear the BH program is quite good but never will get a chance to see them unless I do so after I retire.  However, it helps that there are some clubs close to BH.   Girls from Hardin/Liberty area have to travel to do club ball if they do it at all.  

Hardin usually plays the Wimberley Tex-Fest Tournament instead of the Central Heights tournament but rising costs of staying in the Wimberley area prompted a look around for a different tournament.  Central Heights had some solid teams in the tournament (not high powered like you would see at Wimberley) and we got some game experience there.   At Wimberley, Hardin played the likes of Laredo United, Stephenville, & Wimberley.  Last year, they went 2 rounds deep in the Gold Bracket before losing to Wimberley in 3. 

Regarding your comment about Vidor, I do not know if they "played anyone with a pulse" but saw on here that they won the Silsbee Tournament and was told they were 7-0 coming into Hardin.

I will say this regarding Vidor..... I honestly have no clue what team I saw take the court against Hardin.  I think I sat there with my mouth on the floor.  We looked horrible.  Maybe Hardin exposed all the weaknesses? I don't know.  But I know the team I watched the previous 7 games was not the same team I watched take the court in Hardin.  It was awful. Granted there are a lot of things that need to be fixed before district starts, but I wouldn't go as far as to say "did they play anyone with a pulse".  The first day of the Silsbee Tournament they did play not so good teams on day 1, but Saturday the Championship game was between Vidor and LCM that went to three sets with Vidor winning.

It wasn't me that said the "played anyone with a pulse" quote.  It was Steven Avery who said that in responding to me.   

Speaking of Vidor, my step-dad's parents had a barber shop around the corner from the high school in the 60's-70s, maybe into the early 80's.

I know, I had just responded to both of the statements made in one response vs responding separately.

@Fortheloveofthegame do us a favor and update the scores here 

This is the hidden content, please
  

If I could remember the scores I would.  I only keep up with the overall sets won per game. I have no desire to keep Maxpreps updated.  That usually would fall under a coach's responsibility.  Also, by no means am I saying we have played amazing, but I know every single game I have attended (which is all of them) we either play really well, or really bad.  There seems to be no in between.

@FortheloveofthegameUpdate the sets then, I hear ya. The coach should update it but if they don't help he girls get the respect they deserve by reporting atleast W/Ls.  I always wondered why the rest of the state updates but SETX doesn't. It seems like lack of education on expectations or maybe its that volleyball just isn't that big a deal in that part of the state which ties back to the lack of big time club volleyball in the area.

Being married to a coach, he (my husband) always make sure he reports his wins/losses/stats/etc.  I agree on the fact of volleyball not being a big deal to about 90% of the area.  My daughter has played club for years and it's growing, especially compared to how small it was 5 years ago, but the local interest is nowhere near where it could be.

    • Not yet, anyway. If you can't see that there has been a strong effort to create gender dysphoria amongst young folks AND try to keep it from parents in many instances, you're not paying attention. You may not care about this, but it's ridiculous to ridicule those that do. There is an agenda behind this, no doubt about it, like bullets pointed out earlier, it's just a name change...for now. And it was only very recently that girls were allowed to join the "boy scouts", they have been allowed to join certain other groups that weren't available to girls at the time. It's the frog in the slow boil.

    • I’ve stated over and over that I don’t think that the hush money trial has merit. I also don’t think that the fraud/appraisals case in NYC had merit, either. I think that the evidence in the Election Tampering case down in Georgia is pretty damning, and the case about mishandling documents down in Florida is a real problem for Trump… because that’s what intelligent people do-look at the facts make sound decisions not based on their pwecious feewings.  You know, just saying “Bah! It’s all a bunch of lies because I love him!” Or “of course he did it! I hate him.” But thought processes are something most people are incapable of. They only manage to scroll social media for posts that validate their own opinions and them off as truth or fact when they are just outright lies… but they make the re-poster feel good inside so he believes them without question.    Every time I soundly refute the  idea that trump was good for the economy, y’all yell “but COVID!” His tax cuts provided a short term bubble in the economy by way of an exploding deficit and debt that our grandkids will still be paying interest upon 50 years from now even prior to COVID.  It’s like when Mama takes over the family finances, maxes out all of the credit cards and drives the family into bankruptcy.  Y’all would be the spoiled brat, immature and stupid children that spout off “things were so much better when Mom was handling the finances! We had everything we wanted! Put her back in charge!” Anybody that says “Trump was good for the economy” is just letting they world known that they don’t understand micro/macro economics or the effects of rising interest rates have on a debt the size of ours.    What none of you seem to realize is that the problems were facing today (interest rates and inflation) would be occurring even if Trump were in office because his fiscal policies are more flawed than either conservatives or liberals.    Libs: we should raise taxes on the rich and spend more! Conservatives: We should cut taxes on everybody but cut spending!   Trump: We’re gonna cut taxes and spend more!    It’s a recipe for pure disaster. He’s literally the guy who says “we’re gonna buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume!”    
    • The problem our buddy @CardinalBacker has is that the Dems have been cheating Trump since before his inauguration.  There's 4 cheats going on right now against a private citizen.  But yet he wants us to believe that the 2020 election was squeaky clean.  No cheating what so ever.  That a brain dead individual got 81 million votes.  But the other guy that was supposed to be so bad got 74 million, the most any President ever got for reelection.  Evil people don't turn on and off their evil cheating ways.
