Since teams started district play last week I got to looking at Silsbee's district record over the last several years. The Tigers are currently on a 40 district game win streak. Last district loss was in the 2021 season to Lumberton.
I went back to the 2011-12 season (that's the season when Coach Joe Sigler came back to Silsbee). Since that season, Silsbee has a district record of 130-8. A .942 win percentage. Here is the district record for the last 13 seasons:
2012 9-1 Co Champs #2 seed
2013 9-1 District Champs
2014 11-1 Co Champs #2 seed (lost district playoff to WO-S)
2015 11-1 Co Champs #1 seed
2016 12-0 District Champs
2017 9-0* District Champs *(Silsbee and LC-M had to forfeit their game)
2018 10-0 District Champs
2019 12-0 District Champs
2020 11-1 Co Champs #1 seed (beat HJ in #1 seed game)
2021 9-3 #2 seed
2022 12-0 District Champs
2023 12-0 District Champs
2024 12-0 District Champs
2025 1-0
That's 12 district championships (eight outright) and 10 #1 seeds in 13 years. Silsbee averaged 10 wins to .6 losses in district play. If you go back the last 10 years, Silsbee is 101-5 (.953) with 9 district championships (7 outright) and 9 #1 seeds.
This 40 district game win streak is the 2nd longest streak in this 13 year period. Tigers won 53 straight district games between 2015-2020. That streak was ended by Hamshire-Fannett.
As most know, that 2021 season that had Silsbee lose 3 district games was due in part by Covid. Silsbee had to play their JV in two district games against LC-M and Vidor in first half of district play. Once the Tigers got their varsity team back, they beat LC-M and Vidor by 30+. That was also Harris, Miller and Bottley and company freshmen year.
This is very impressive to say the least. Kudos to Coach Sigler and his staff and the Silsbee Tiger basketball team. Just another historical mark in Silsbee athletics.
