Silsbee 43 El Campo 42/Final

[ST413]

Why so far away for Silsbee? i was thinking Lufkin

yea....not a good site for us at all, but unfortunately we chose where to play them a few years ago and now they got to choose!  I am not really a fan of the "biased" sites anymore!!!  I was then though!

These numbers show why this offense is so good.....balance!  Now take the 2 big runs out of their stats and we still gave up around 300 yds rushing!  Not good.....but good enough!

I watched the navasota Carthage game in Beaumont last night and besides argyle Carthage will be the only other big test for the Tigers in my opinion it just seemed like Carthage had more athletes on the field than navasota and their fans really got them going in the second half to me if silsbee wins this game they can make it to the state championship this will be the biggest game and test in silsbee high school history or at least as far back as I can remember we can't have any turnovers against them and hopefully the refs will not determine the outcome of this game .

[MBaller#1]

Tigers fans should be super busy supporting the Tigers this week basketball against bmt central and football against Carthage what a sports week for tiger fans

Wow barnburner

Why so far away for Silsbee? i was thinking Lufkin

When Carthage and Silsbee played each other in the 2013 playoffs, Silsbee won the coin flip and chose Provost-Umphrey Stadium in Beaumont. UIL policy states when the same teams play each other the next time, the other team gets to choose the site. Carthage chose Rose Stadium in Tyler.

[TxHoops]

Rose Stadium was my favorite stadium in HS.  And even with the distance, I think Silsbee will have plenty of fans in the stands.

Been to the Rose a few times.

Always a good time in Tyler.

If you want some good BBQ before the game, Stanleys Famous pit BBQ is the spot.

Where did y'all play them a few years back? Lamar right? Y'all didn't fare very well in that one huh?

[BADSANTA]

Not same Silsbee team brother! 

[Uncle Pig]

Yes it is!

Yes it is!

Hey y'all should try Country Tavern outside of Kilgore(on the Tyler side) on hwy 31; maybe a 30 minute drive from Rose...a little out of the way, but WELL worth the extra driving. Well worth it

Silly rule. Should be as close to a neutral site as possible. In this case there are several good stadiums in between Carthage & Silsbee; Lufkin, Huntsville, New Caney,  even Woodforest in Conroe.

yall didnt have a problem last time we played yall to play in Beaumont but dont like it when the shoes on the other ffoot. We ended up playing yal and wos in Beaumont that year in back to back weeks but that's part of it if you choose those type of locations it can bite u in the butt next time around

I'm neutral in this brother, just have always thought that was a bad rule. I remember when Southlake had to come to Sfa to play Lufkin in '06. Dragons shut Dez Bryant down

Best ribs in the world...catered president Bush 2 inauguration I believe, and I read an article that said Elvis used to have them flown up to him in Memphis quite often

I am sure the Tiger players do not have a problem playing in Tyler and that is what matters.

Whether its played in Tyler, Beaumont, or El Paso, it should be a great football game

very true. A long drive just means they get out of school earlier lol

Go back and check the threads from the beginning of the season I predicted the QB from silsbee would be a finalist for the WRS award after I watched him in the scrimmage vs Ozen that kid is a baller.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Been to the Rose a few times.

Always a good time in Tyler.

hell yea! 

[BADSANTA]

Silsbee should have about 6 players on allstate team. I don't know if there is a team in 4A with a better offense.

[STiger85]

After Silsbee scored the TD at the end of the game, there was no doubt in my mind to go for two. With the season on the line, the senior's football carriers on the line you put THAT offense on the field. If we made it, good call. If we didn't make it, good call. I would want my season in the hands of the Tiger offense. Tiger Nation!!! Go Tigers!!!

[PrettyBoi10]

That's Perfect Glad it's at Rose Stadium Tyler my 2nd home played 4 years of college football at that stadium

Final Thoughts:

Hats off and heads high for El Campo. Very good team. Solid defense and a tremendous rushing game. Looked to me that El Campo put priority one on stopping the rushing game once the weather turned sour.  It was a success, even more so when A. Thomas seemed to tweak an ankle.  Forced the Tigers to throw and though it wasn't his best performance, D. Thomas came through. Missing on the big play strikes a few times but the playmakers for Silsbee made them when they had too.  That rushing attack by El Campo is unbelievable. Dove was a load, consistently breaking tackles and dragging defenders for extra yards.  Stack the box and there went Harris Like a blur through the line and then to the house!!

This game down to two plays in the end. Both of them great plays. JMO....

1) Dove with that crazy effort on the screen pass, breaking tackles and dragging players into the endzone.  Scored too quick. 

2) Mackey with the catch in back of end zone with great coverage.  

 

Respect El Campo. The Smoke recognizes and will give it their all to make it mean something.
