Yes. To be honest with you, I don't see Kountze beating New Waverly. I look for New Waverly to represent Region 3 in Austin.

I am afraid this isn't the beginning of anything. Lamar is playing poorly and it will show Saturday night. SFA will beat the Cards by 15.

:

C'mon Gabe, why make that drive? Both these teams have playoff spots wrapped up. Where as the Orangefield boys team is fighting for their playoff lives. This could be their chance to pull off the big upset.

Orangefield over HJ? Are you serious? That just shows what little you know about this pickem contest. Just because he chose Orangefield doesn't mean he is picking them to win. He may of chosen the Bobcats because he thinks HJ will win, but not cover the point spread. Your fellow Hawk fan Lazeek made the same choice, I don't see you calling him out.

I want to add, that in all fairness, I would like someone from the chapter to post their side of the story or contact me with their information.

I really would like to hear the other side of the story. I have only heard from the coaches standpoint.

This was a very good win for the Tigers. After coming off the big, big win at HJ, Silsbee could have gotten caught in what some people call a "trap game". The Tigers could have came out flat and laid a big egg but to the credit of the Tiger coaching staff and it's players, they took care of business and remain undefeated in district play. Silsbee played great defense against a very quick Mustang team and Silsbee's ability to handle another press just shows what great guard play they have. Also what sets Silsbee apart from all the other district 21-3A teams is the fact the Tigers have 7 players that can come out and give you double figure scoring. Last night Silsbee had 4 players in double figures with another at 8 points, while the other two that didn't score in double figures, have done on several occassions this season. I believe they have the benefit of having a go to player(Robinson) along with a very balanced scoring offense that as many as 7-8 players get heavily involved. The Tigers have it all in the fact they have penetrating guards(Robinson, Hill) three point artist in Walters and Byars, and inside scoring with Stallworth and Thomas. Throw in Lane with his ability to create his own shot and be the Tigers mid range scorer, gives the Tigers a very balanced offensive team. The defense, well it speaks for itself. Great win Silsbee. Hope to see you guys Friday night.

Like I said before, it's a marathon, not a sprint. I just keep reeling them in one at a time.

Here are Friday's pickems: Lumberton @ Ozen (-38 1/2) Central (-3 1/2) @ Nederland Livingston (-7 1/2) @ LCM Vidor @ PNG (-6 1/2) Silsbee (-39 1/2) @ Bridge City WOS (-20 1/2) @ Hamshire-Fannett Hardin-Jefferson (-16 1/2) @ Orangefield Anahuac (-23 1/2) @ Warren Hardin @ Buna (-8 1/2) East Chambers @ Kountze (-31 1/2) Good Luck!

That's what the flu will do for ya. It's got me down for the count. Hopefully I can be back Friday night.

In the new realignment, they had an odd number of schools in 3A. This region got one designated district to be a bye. There are no schools in district 23. All the byes from district 23 was dispersed just like it had teams coming out of it. Therefore that's why some schools will get byes to the second round and some will get second round byes. Right now how it stands, if Silsbee does finish the district champion, they will play Cameron Yoe, who right now is runner up in District 24. They are behind district leader Navasota, but are ahead of 3 teams that are tied for that third spot at 4-4. Cameron Yoe was 5-2 entering tonight's game. If WOS holds on to the third spot, they will face Coldspring in the first round and the winner will get a bye all the way to the third round round where they will play the winner of Silsbee/Cameron Yoe. The winner of that game will go to Huntsville for the regional tourney. I really like Silsbee's chances of going back to regionals, but we still got to play'em one at a time.

I am hoping I am going to be well enough to do that game. Keeping my fingers crossed.

No skin off my back, I hope that Jasper makes the playoffs. This run that Jasper is making just proves that district isn't that tough. I mean with Silsbee beating Jasper 95-51 in Jasper, that just makes my Tigers look that much better. You can't really say that Jasper wasn't playing that well at that time. They had just come off a runner up finish in the Brookshire tourney and the game right before Silsbee, Jasper defeated Livingston, who as we speak is in second in our local 4A district, having beaten Ozen. Then after the Silsbee game, Jasper got a runner up finish in the BC tourney. You guys were 9-3 in that stretch losing only to Silsbee, Beaumont Central, and Brookshire Royal by 2 on their home court. But what sticks out to me was how bad Jasper lost to Silsbee. A 44 point loss is not good on any terms. Like I have been saying, what I have seen from Jasper, I am just not that impressed.
