  1. I just want to say thanks to the Dawg fans for coming to this forum and engaging with civility. Some like myself would say it even has a touch of humility coming from such a dominating program. Heres to a competitive game that gives everyone the feeling of competitiveness. Good luck Tigers!!

  2. I've been following basketball, high school basketball, Silsbee basketball for at least 55 years. I have yet to see a coach, even some considered 'a good coach' (for some that's a euphemism for deeper & uglier issues) take a team lacking in talent to anywhere significant. Good coaches and teams with lots of talent generally gravitate together, like beans and rice, BBQ & potatoe salad. It just works that way. Would to goodness basketball forums and people who post to basketball forums who actually know basketball worked that way, but that is not always the case. Enough of that. I've seen or heard of a lot of good Silsbee coaches: Dan Montgomery, Fred Williams, Travis Williams, coach Green, Sigler. They were all good coaches IMO. Coach Sigler won two state championships. Is he the best coach of them all? Maybe, maybe not. As someone posted his record speaks for itself. Also I've experienced Silsbee basketball teams being on the short end of some hard defeats and downright blowouts. They got blown out by FB Bush in the FB tournament. Madison blew them off the court in a playoff warm up game. Some big school beat em bad in the SA tournament. Wagner did it too. It BEs that way from time to time. Sometimes you have the shotgun, other times you're dodging the pellets, figuratively speaking. I drove out to Humble/Atascosita and watched HJ play Yates in a playoff game a few years ago. 'Good coaching' lasted about a half a quarter. After that I couldn't hear myself think. The Yates fans were making too much noise. Stuff like that happens in hs basketball, or any basketball. There's an often quoted bible verse that is really not a bible verse: This too shall pass.

  5. Everyone knew that Silsbee would be a little down this year, even when they get all their players in a couple of weeks. But you couple that with the fact that Silsbee is missing anywhere from 8-10 varsity players right now, this result was to be expected. I spoke with Coach Davis a month or so ago about this game and he had a good idea about this game. He told me he really wished they could have played later in the season but this was really the only time he and Joe could get a date to play. It is what it is. Personally, I think HJ has the better team even when Silsbee has all their players and would win that game as well. Just not in the fashion they did last night. Most folks with any knowledge of the game would know this. These are not excuses, just facts. And if one chooses to make the result a reflection on the coaching abilities of the two men, so be it. But last night wasn't a fair fight and it showed. I have been saying it for a few months now, better get your licks in on Silsbee this year while you can. Starting next year, things will be back to Silsbee dominance again.

  6. From Coach Clay Davis: Hardin-Jefferson Basketball tSpon3nsohreedo · The Hawks got on the winning track tonight with a 94-62 win over Silsbee. I need to give props to Coach Sigler and his staff and team. They have 9-10 varsity players still in football. There are a lot of programs that would’ve cancelled the game. Coach Sigler and his group came over and battled. I’ve been in that situation in Tatum and Jasper and we did the same thing. I have a ton of respect for guys who take what they have and go play no matter what. The Hawks are now 1-1 on the season and will host Lufkin on Saturday in a varsity only double header with our girls.. Girls at 11:30 am and boys at 1 pm.

  8. My young man transferred to DHS from Mauriceville after 8th grade (Prouse's first year). My 14yr old 5'0" 98lb freshman was not allowed to compete because the UIL ruled that they couldn't prove he didn't move for athletic reasons 🤣. He never missed a two-a-day or regular practice, Coach Prouse allowed him to practice, allowed him to dress and travel with his team. At kickoff, one of the assistant's would take his helmet (to ensure he'd never get on the field). Never missed a practice and never touched the field...all year long. I was extremely proud of him and his Coaches. Today, as a Senior, he was named 1st Team All-District WR and 1st Team All-District CB. Good things will come if you work hard enough for them. Extremely proud of my young man, his team and his Coaches. Go Pirates!

  9. I’m sorry. That Silsbee lite or whatever teams wanna call it is just so watered down and pretty lame. You win, you win. You get ran off the court, then so be it. Lots of schools basketball programs thrive without waiting for football players...

    A test week for both teams. Crosby is favored. PNG's last chance to prove itself before the playoffs, and more than likely the last chance to control its playoff seeding. Bring on the iPad Bowl.

  13. Truth. I've been disappointed every time I've watched #40 (which is 7 games over the last few years), he never quite lives up to the legend built around him. Maybe he will prosper at LSU and onward. Who knows.

  16. It's laughable to think that a coordinator from LT or WL would make the difference. You mentioned two schools that have kids with unlimited resources and a community that NEVER has to discuss what kind of coach is needed to make the difference. Literal D1 athletes and future pro players. Plus.. I'll bet good money that their coordinators would rather stay where they are than take on the head gig in a historically failed football program.

    Just watched some film on Yokum vs Columbus and Hallettsville. They lost both games but they have two running backs (4 and 7) that can run the ball. The offensive line blocks very well and has their heads under defense line push them back. The QB ran the ball very little and had good arm. Receiver's made some good catches. Overall I think this will be the best team EC has faced this year for sure. I Think EC's linebackers better have a good game # 4 had good size and fast, # 7 didn't have size but was faster and pick his holes very well. Will definitely be a good test for EC.

  25. I don't know, I just think they can do better. Assistant at Hull Daisetta, assistant somewhere in Texas City, HC in New Mexico I believe, then 2-4 in one season at Legacy. If Lumberton is forced to settle for that, they're in bad shape. No shot at Stevens, just an observation.

  31. This is very true when you consider Devin didn't play after the incident in LCM that year. Wish we could have had him all four years. That Dallas Lincoln game in the finals might have went a little different if we had.

  33. I’ve been saying this. I understand silsbee has guys playing football, but they never stood a chance. Isn’t surprising to see what Sig can do without his talent. Davis is obviously superior when it comes to getting the most out of his guys. Y’all can make as many excuses as y’all want but we all saw what happened tonight. Don’t @ me.

    The Dawg O line is the best in 4A and they stopped 4 D1 linemen of Pleasant Grove with no problem. I have a feeling they will do just fine against 63 and 73.

  41. I don't have a dog in the fight (see what I did there?) but I will say that I came away from the Vidor/Lindale playoff game in Carthage hugely impressed with their facilities. 7 State Championships on the marquee all this side of 2008 was pretty impressive too. Definitely had the look and feel of a big time program. Good luck, Tigers!

    I think Silsbee would have beaten Jasper if that game hadn't been called for weather. Momentum was shifting to Silsbee.

    PNG v. Crosby 2020

    PNG has not stopped the run all year. If that changes this game, it will be appreciated, but highly doubtful. That said, PNG can go no huddle , spread the field short option run & passing attack all night, if Bost is sharp. Crosby can strike fast & quick, or if need be, chew up the clock. Avoiding turnovers is a must for either team to win. If PNG & Crosby both move the ball the game can stay close. I believe Crosby will take the game by 20 if no surprises. Turnovers can turnover that score quickly. Just praying for a clean injury free game going through the rest of district.

  49. Silsbee will keep it close for almost a half and then their lack of depth (several players go both ways) will catch up with them in 2nd half. Carthage 42-14

  50. I would like to commend the Mustang players, band and fans, although outmanned, they gave it their all. They never gave up and fought to the very last play. The Mustangs and community are winners.
