Bush and Jones having an excellent game right now. Excellent defense for both and finishing their shots. nice.

Go from One Crew calling everything to this.... Need to rebound.

23 - 4 Silsbee after 1st Period.

Adams only starter who hasn't fouled out. Devon is gone.

Wow....lol.

75-70 45 sec

Willie out now as well.

Starting 5 back in.

Silsbee with fresh legs all over Frisco, who look tired. 71-61 Silsbee 4 to go.

Bush with another good pass. Tyler with steal and assist to Newton. Adams looks to be having trouble with his left knee. Silsbee 67 - 55

Bush playing a solid game. Small things adding up. Steal here, pass there.

This is wild. Funny thing, it may have hurt Frisco even more. They can't get a rhythm either.

Silsbee with an 11-0 run now leads 58-50 w/ 1:30 left in 3rd.

Record number of travel calls? Maybe?

Whistles keep saying "don't touch."

Mike J with 4 fouls.

Frisco hit a good number of shots in the first period. Also, a whole bunch of fouls being called. Not sure who will survive these whistles. Very sloppy and erratic game so far.

104 - 101 Silsbee Wins

103 - 99 8 Sec Left Adams At Line

102 - 97 Silsbee 38.1 Sec Left Adams at the line

Tied at 93 End of Regulation

Keys to Success: 1. Tradition? Hardly. It helps for a team to have some, but not if the tradition includes losing. Change to "Winning Tradition" 2. Coaching Continuity? Possibly.. But again... not if there is no success. If your community/players NEVER or RARELY have to endure a change in coaching philosophy it is a big advantage. There are no short learning curves in those programs. One School...ahem....has 30+ years of coaching philosophy. 3. Talented Athletes? No argument there. A must, though at the High School Level, one truly gifted athlete gets you a big head start. Throw in 2, 3, 4, 5 at one time. Good lord. 4. Community Support? It helps tremendously. No athlete can resist the roar of the crowd. Its intoxicating. I personally believe that when talented athletes, not the gifted ones, stay in their community. Then encourage acceptance of a philosophy that was there before them, with them and will be there after them, then there can be no confusion of what is expected from them. Success. Note: There has to be multiple examples of success. Championship trophies, collegiate players, professional players, etc. Those success stories have to continue to be part of the community to cement the winning philosophy. For our area, West Orange-Stark got it right. Lucky? Maybe, all winning traditions need a little luck here and there. It doesn't matter. That program has found what works for their community. Why change it.... I love when WOS comes to town. It brings out the best in our athletes. Enjoy their brand of football. The last three years of WOS football is kinda like the Greek Spartans of old. You can talk noise, no problem, but you'll probably end up at the bottom of a deep hole or piled up next to the others. I'm done. Respect. #TigerNation
