Oh, I do hope you'll need your rain gear. Who else is superstitious about sports? I certainly was when I played back in the ancient times. Silly. I had to eat a grapefruit on Thursday night watching a particular TV show or else I would jinx us. Don't remember the show, don't remember how it got started. Last night I felt I had to change seats at the half because the Tigers were flat. Seemed like the Buffaloes had the formula. The Tigers weren't out of it by any means but they needed some breaks and some big plays. So I changed seats and look what happened, 28 unanswered points in the second half. My rational brain tells me that it's happenstance coupled with the fact that the Tigers stepped up and performed. But my primitive brain tells me it was all because I changed seats. Last year at Legacy there was a moment when it looked like Cuero was about to take control for good. The grandkids were with us there at Legacy and they are big Harry Potter fans. Cuero had just scored and was driving again so I told them needed something so they should cast a spell. Happily they obliged. They consulted among themselves and came up with a hex and chanted some Potter stuff and waved their arms and the next play the Tigers recovered a fumble and ran it back for a touchdown. I mean the very next play! Remember the play? It was hilarious! You should have seen their faces. "Granddaddy! It worked! It actually worked! We did it! We did it!" It's become legend in our family already. See? That's how these things get started. And now it's the rain. If it rains the Tigers will beat the Mustangs in playoff situations. The quality of the teams has nothing to do with it. It's the rain you see. I was there in 98, wasn't it at TJ stadium? My daughter was a senior. I was there last year when it was obvious to everyone that WOS looked very uncomfortable right from the start but the Tigers seemed to be thrilled thrilled that it was storming. Weather is the great equalized and that's factual and reasonable. But what day it decides to rain is happenstance. And I love it. And why not?Usually these things are decided in delivery rooms 17 or 18 years ago or by who moves to what town are by who can find and keep the best coach. But every now and then fate rears it's disturbing head. I wonder if the Mustangs would trade every single one of those regular season wins for the two Tiger postseason wins? Oh those lovely intangibles. Anyway, PM showers on Thursday but it will have moved off by Friday. Oh well. Doesn't mean the Tigers have to lose. Does it? I'm calling the grandkids.

I’ll be danged. Before the season I thought that this would just about be the ceiling for Newton this year. I ended up revising my forecast upwards after Newton did so well in non-district. Nothing to be ashamed of considering what all was lost from that 2018 team/staff. I wish a “bad” year for us was a third round exit. Newton will be back before long.

But let's be honest silsbee is ur second team.and u know ur not gonna pull for w.o to win.

Y’all not holding up y’all end of the deal Tigers....let’s go so we can play in Beaumont

Girls #6 Humble Summer Creek 64 Beaumont United 71 Final... Now time for the boys to complete the sweep....

I don't know that it was an injectable offense.

Yep I just seen it BISD... Silsbee are the Visitors.. 7:30

What's the problem with that? BISD has hosted many playoff games including WO-S and other local teams with no issues, plenty of parking, plenty of room, easy access, ect.

Melissa should’ve upset Waco La Vega, but blew a 20-0 lead. Then got the ball back with 30 seconds left in their own territory tied at 42 and ran the ball instead of kneeling and forcing OT. Fumbled. Then got a penalty and put La Vega in fg range and lost 45-42 as time expired

Is the the speed more physical?

Gilmer beat the ranked number 1 team Waco Connolly

I don't consider Daingerfield beating Newton a big upset. Always looked liked a game that could go either way to me.

Highland park lost to frisco lone star

Sounding like BISD ON FRIDAY

Excuse me, Taylor with an INT!!

As usual coach T ain't happy.lol

Missed chances really. Tigers doing fine just missing right now. Taylor wasn't out of bounds either. Jmo

I hate these 2 teams match up so early. This should be a Regional Finals game

I'll worry about next week tomorrow, if we have to.

Old man, quit sending private messages, it's weird

Nope, but I could roll a safety over to help a DB that was getting smoked every play. I know you're Mr. Coach and try to call every fan out.

Dude you will spend like $30? You will spend $50 just in gas going to the other side of Houston. Leave the Republican flag at home and come out and enjoy the game. Boths schools have worked hard tonget this far.

Another thing is kids must be accompanied by an adult and must have their school id. In other words, no dropping kids off to the game.

*tips hat*

Yep. No umbrellas or bags. Pretty much the same rules of SEVERAL stadiums across the state...

Correct. They'll be in front of tvs playing Madden and boosting their physical speed...

Just an example of Lamar being a host: Vidor vs. Crosby several years ago. Vidor was the home team and filled the home side to capacity. 8,000 strong. Crosby had around 4-5000 on the visitor side. Lamar thought having one concession stand with two workers on each side was sufficient for a lowly little high school playoff game. Also, only one gate taking tickets with just one attendee. Also very little security on site. Needless to say, there were extremely long lines and lot's of folks missed a good part of the game. Lamar just doesn't care about hosting high school playoff games and it shows.

JR. Had another monster game in the lost. 28pts 16rebs 2ast 3blks

Ranked 1 by who...PG been #1 as far as I’ve seen

I agree. But everyone talk about Newton losing Foster Barlow and Brown who spent most of their time on offense. Newton don’t have a problem scoring. What hurt Newton is not replacing Metoyer, Kellum, Paulette, and McGraw. If it’s one thing about Newton. Their defense has been the key to winning. Defense was good with Sylvester but not like it was the last two years.

Would be nice to have this game at Da Butch...

It’s next to impossible to replace the D1 talent Newton lost to graduation last year; I mean losing that kind of talent would be crippling for a 6A program, much less a 3A team

Let’s just say that WOS beat us but Silsbee didn’t.

Manor beating Cedar Park 17-14 in 5A, DI might qualify

He actually is a coach at Bh lol

Yeah the Taylor run in the 1st qtr was a TD. He wasnt out of bounce. Bad call by the refs.

Okay. Anybody know any good rain dances? If it had rained last year at Legacy the Tigers would have gone to Dallas.

If it is where two very reliable sources, one from Silsbee and one from WO-S, think it will be, a lot of folks will be real happy. AT THIS TIME, THOUGH, NO GUARANTEES!!!!

That’s all. It’s blood in the water for us. We’re way better than last year. Friday hurry back up

I'm not from Silsbee and I have Silsbee winning...

WOS

He really get ejected? Who was it? Means he has to sit the first half next week right?

Yes we have. But he is dangerous if he finds a hole. I think they will have to try other ways to get him the ball. 43 yrd FG was great to get in just before half.

Thanks, the other guy was talking about WH

Eagles lead 14-6 with 4:48 left in the 1st

Great season BH. You guys never quit and represented your community with class. Hopefully we will be in position to meet again next year. Be proud. HOKA HEY!!

Even though the program has significantly improved under the leadership of the new coach, I agree with you 100%, i.e., "not ready yet." In my opinion, there's no greater experience than being on the same field with an opponent that has the edge on size, speed, and power - particularly.....speed. In spite of today's defeat, I tip my hat to the Eagles coaching staff and team, particularly, the QB who played with heart and left it all out on the field. Heck of a game! Congrats Eagles! I expect today's disappointing defeat will be a stepping stone towards greater achievement. Great season BH!
