Best practice for defining static IP addresses?

Lets assume this is my DHCP scope:
subnet 10.119.14.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.119.14.1 10.119.14.179 ;
option routers 10.119.14.254 ;
If I wanted to assign a static IP address, would I do?
host Black {
hardware ethernet 00:19:5B:EC:A7:11;
fixed-address 10.119.14.100;
}
or
host Heart {
hardware ethernet 00:19:5B:EC:A7:12;
fixed-address 10.119.14.200;
}
..Notice that 'Black' is within the defined range while 'Heart' is not.
I've always assume I could assign a static IP within the defined range and the MAC address would act as a 'key' to prevent it from being handed out (even though it's in a defined range).
Thanks for the clarification..
