Congrats HJ!!!  Way too close for comfort but I'll take the win - good luck against Cleveland! 

[setxslam]

Wow, what a game.  We jumped up on 'em early, then Joe Persohn went out with a broken finger (no foul called) and we went kind of flat.  Joe missed most of the 2nd Q, got back just in time to get an and-one putback where he got his face opened up-- except, again, no foul was called-- that put us up by one point at the half.  Co-MVP of the game goes to Coach Klinger, who kept patching Joe up!  Without Joe, I was worried that 6'8" Stafford kid would eat us alive on the boards.  Thanks for being so tough, Joe.  That's True Blue right there.  [Joe, leave those steri-strips in place until after the Cleveland game.  You might wanna just prophylactically wear bandaids over both eyes until after Austin...]

MVP Player: Prudhomme.  Shawn put on a dunk-fest much, much better than the NBA did last week.  Seriously.  Hit his free throws, too.  Gus ran the show flawlessly.  Gus was clearly fouled on his final driving layup during regulation-- but, once again, no call.  Grayson and Bosha hit some important shots.  Everyone hustled enough to beat Stafford and the refs.  Great job, Hawks!

I feel you bro! Nederlandwas ahead the entire game until 40 secs in the 4th Q. We were up by 18 at one point, and we won on a last second 3. A 'W' is a 'W', but waaay too close for comfort.

Several thoughts:

We let Sealy hang around and almost get the win.  Those guys wouldn't give up.

#11 for Sealy had at least 10 blocks.  The kid played solid defense.  When he blocked the ball, it didn't go into the 8th row bleachers.  No, it was a Bill Russel type block (old fogey alert!) that usually ended up in #11's hands.  Great defense, my man!

The Hawks really suffered when Joe Persohn wasn't in there.  As previously posted, the dude should get the purple heart.

Finally, Prudhomme is a beast!!!!  I counted at least 4 dunks, including 2 incredible alley-oops!!!  And that run in overtime where he got the alley-oop and then stole the ball and dunked it again...... that was incredible!


Great game, Hawks!!!!!!

Easily the best 6 seconds I have ever seen in a high school game..............Bosha cutting up the lane and Prudhomme driving baseline and Bosha lobs it for Prudhomme and the one handed alley, then Prudhomme steals the in bounds pass and takes two dribbles coming down the lane and tomahawk dunks on some dudes head!!!!!! ;D ;D :o :o

[FanintheStands]

75% Free Throws from the field and we needed every one of them tonight!!!!

Wow!!!!!

[/quote]Actually, it looked like a replay of the YouTube video where we played who, Liberty 3 years ago?  Trey Burrell and Jacoby Turner were the two stars of that one.

[FanintheStands]

And another thing, I think Gus tipped away the ball on [s]Sealy's[/s] ,er, Stafford's last play in regulation.  But when I saw the ball land in #10's hands, I thought we were dead meat.  The dude had a funny looking, but deadly, jump shot.  He was there only shooter that was hitting from the outside.

[FanintheStands]

To those of ya'll who remember the Nederland - PNG game where Nederland played for the final shot (holding the ball for the last 2:40 seconds), did this game seem familiar?  And IMO, [s]Sealy[/s], er, Stafford played it right.  They contested every pass and there were several times where HJ almost lost the ball or dribbled into trouble.  And, in the end, it succeeded for them, for they got a strong chance to hit the winning bucket.  My only suggestion is that they should have fouled with about 5-6 seconds to go because they only had 5 team fouls at that point.

BTW, was Gus fouled on the final drive to the basket?  I don't know.  There was contact but who initiated it?  i think the referees didn't want to determine who the winner was so they let the play go.  it was, IMO, a 50-50 call.

Congratulations HJ!!
