Zebras took Shawn out of the game, and we still won-- at the free throw line!  Great win, Hawks!
[/quote]To all others at the game, is that your opinion as well?  Were there several bad calls on Sean or were they legitimate?  I gotta admit, I was a little scared when he got his 4th.

Great heart, Hawks!!!!

I know one that in no way should have been called - especially by the out of position ref that called it.

I thought it was the most inconsistently called game I think I have ever seen....impossible to adjust to as a player....it just depended on which one was in the trail.

The problem was in the first half the refs allowed the players to get mauled but in the second half you couldn't breathe on the opposition without being whistled.  I shouldn't be surprised considering which referees officiated.

The Silsbee/Athens game is first at 6:15... oh and one thing I wanted to know was how in the heck Navasota was unranked???
[/quote]

Considering what they achieved against Silsbee and HJ, they obviously deserved a ranking
[/quote]
Yes they did!

a special props goes out to the rest of the team, starting with our good young Mr. Bosha, for proving that Hardin Jefferson is NOT a one-trick pony!  The mark of a champion is that, even when your stud is not producing what he normally does, others step up to the plate!!!!

27 points!!!!  And Johnson, too!

Glad to see Zjori taking on a more aggressive role - he needs to continue that for HJ to advance.

Bosha only had 25!!!  But I agree Bosha will play a HUGE roll the rest of the year, just as he has all year!!!

Here's hoping he continues to play like he's the best player on the court!

[/quote]and you've got to admire their heart.  I mean, these kids are down what 15 points to a team that has knocked them out of the play-offs 4 of the last 5 years.  "Here we go again" is what a lot of teams would be thinking.  No, these kids kept on fighting.  Good effort by the Rattlers.

Do you think they knew or believed that losing 4 in a row did not help or hinder  their chances one iota?

[/quote]I'm sure they all knew that the last 4 games had nothing to do with last night's game.  There were probably only 1 or 2 players that had ever played HJ in the play-offs (I think Sean P and maybe Joe P were HJ's only ones with experience against Navasota).  But, when the chips are down, its easy for those nagging thoughts to resurface.... "[i]Here we go again.  Same song, Fifth Freakin' Verse[/i]"!....  The key is to bury those doubts even deeper.
