If you wanted to see pitching and good defense this was the game. Memorial was able to get a few hits late in the game to retake the lead and win. Silsbee needs to get their bats working!
My understanding is a student athlete can play one game a school week night, Friday night is not a school night. In tournament play ( Thursday thru Saturday) the maximum games per day is three and six games per tournament. You can play 0 tourney and 23 games or 1 tourney and 20 or 2 tourney and 17 games or 3 tourney and 14 games before playoffs start.
Jasper has a really nice sports complex at their high school. It's about time! Very nice football field, baseball field, softball field. Now they need stands on the football field to accommodate the nice sports complex they have built. JMO anything under 8,000 set stadium would not do this place justice.
Silsbee looked good it's first day of practice Friday and inter squad scrimmage Saturday. I liked what is saw knowing it's just the first two days of practice. The junior and sophomore class are definitely the driving force to this team. A small senior class that will compete and a couple of freshman that will push for time on the field. One parent told me "their not a well oiled machine but it looks like they have oil on them". I hope the oil keeps flowing. Go Tigers!!!
Thomas and King should be front runners because of how much they ment to their teams. I would give the nod to Thomas because he is a one year full time starter at QB. What Thomas did over the summer to get better, to make himself better is second to nun in this area. I don't know where Thomas season ranks in the state of Texas, but here in the Golden Triangle or SETX it's the best I can remember. I would love to find out if someone knows.
