I am still sticking to my early season pick that Silsbee wins both games against HJ.

WHERE ARE YOU???? Don't you guys support the basketball team as well?

I almost predicted the attendence correctly. Total was 3,457, this is what I predicted on another thread: I say there will be less than 4,000 in attendance. Probably just over 3,000. I'll predict 3,237. I knew that some of you were wrong when you were expecting 4000-6000 at this game. Maybe if Lamar gets on a win streak the crowds towards the end of the season will get bigger.

I think it's safe to say that Silsbee's schedule was tougher than HJ's. 70% of Silsbee's non-district schedule was against 3A teams and higher. Where as HJ's was 55%. Both teams faced off against 8 state ranked opponents but for HJ, 2 of those games were repeat games. Bottom line is, none of this guarentees wins for Silsbee over HJ. You still got to play the games. Each coach determines what he thinks is best for his team as far as scheduling goes. Todd has scheduled more non district games than what Travis has. HJ will have 27 non district games this year compared to 19 for Silsbee. HJ hosts there own tourney along with playing in the EC and AP tourneys which all are pool play type tournaments with only 3A and below schools playing these tournaments. Sutherland feels that's best for his team and I totally respect that. Travis wants to play his type of schedule and I respect that also. To each his own I say. There is no right or wrong in this. We could talk in circles all day about this but the only thing that will be accomplished is that the thread will get longer. My only hope is that HJ played too many games and runs out of gas by mid district. ;D

Congrats to Legacy but I am sorry, I did not see this coming. What in the world is going on with Orangefield? They are a better team than this. I have seen Legacy play a few games this season and Orangefield should not lose to these guys. Bobcat fans, what's the scoop?

Also, I want to add that Silsbee's new gym floor is awesome. It is one of the best looking floors I have seen this year. By far the tops in our district.

This was a good team to play for Silsbee. College Park is about as good a coached team as Silsbee has and will face this season. I was very impressed with them. Constance was good like I knew he would be but the other 4-5 guards that CP threw out there were very quick and could handle the rock well. Their inside game was solid as Porter was definetly their best player down low. He reminded me of Silsbee's Stallworth but with a bigger body and more experience. The Cavaliers took advantage of their size and numbers over the smaller Tigers and made a run to start the second half that Silsbee never recovered from. They consistantly beat Silsbee down the floor to get some easy buckets and then played very solid halfcourt defense that caused the Tigers problems. Also, the Cavaliers were solid from the freewthrow line and were able to keep that 12-15 point cushion down the stretch. College Park is the defending district champs in district 14-5A and I think they will repeat as champs this year. Silsbee played good in spurts but was a little over matched. The Tigers were able to get some turnovers at times and I think they suprised CP with how well our small guards were able to get rebounds. Our inside players played in foul trouble most of the second half and the Tiger guards had to rely on the three shot to keep them in it. Shannon played well at times but also found himself dribbling into double teams and then turning it over. Hill played well and continues to draw fouls against bigger players. His ability to get down the baseline and position himself really is amazing at times. The Tigers made some three's but they will need some offensive scoring inside to make that outside game even better. Silsbee will be ready for district as no other team in our district has played near the schedule as the Tigers have. This will do them well for not just district but into the playoffs where the Tigers plan on making another deep run.

Score was 45-39. That was not College Park's JV though, it was their Soph. team. College Park has a varsity with 12 players, a JV with 14 players, a soph. team with 15 players, and two freshman teams with 14 players each. About 70 players in their high school basketball program! Some of our small schools around here doesn't have that many out for football. It was a good matchup as Silsbee is all sophomores anyway except for the big man who is moving up to varsity next week. CP's soph. team had a '6"5, '6"6, and a '6"7 player on the team.

Headed out to Tiger Gymnasium, should be a good one.

I can assure you Coach K did not condone any of this. He has actually had to "cull" his varsity team down to just 7 players because of bad attitudes. He is doing what he can with what he has got. This is a very down year for the Lady Tiger basketball program and this could last more than this season. But I have no doubt that Coach K will get this turned around soon and have Silsbee Lady Tiger basketball back in the mix for district championships. Bleed, there is support for girls basketball in Silsbee, I think you have seen it yourself in the past. Does it compare to Orangefield girls basketball support, no, but I have definetly seen worse. Yes, winning brings out more numbers, but I believe the core is still there. The girls program will never reach the support level that the boys get here in Silsbee, that's just the mindset here in Silsbee, but that is the case in most schools.

No overtime here, Huntington wins this one by 15. Nope, Jasper won by 11, after leading much of the game by 15 to 19 points. Keep picking against Jasper, we like the results! ;D Bailey was on fire tonight! My picks are based on what I have seen from Jasper. A 40 point loss to my Silsbee Tigers makes me think that district 18-3A ain't all that special. :

The Tigers finally get a home game after playing on the road since Nov. 25th. What a home game it is as the Cavaliers of College Park in The Woodlands of district 14-5A will come to the Tiger Den to take on #11 ranked Silsbee in the Tigers last non-district game. This should be a great test for Silsbee as College Park brings a very talented and experienced team to the court. Our broadcast time should be around 12:45 with tipoff around 1pm. Come on out and enjoy an afternoon of fantastic high school basketball. Or, sit there at home or work and catch all the play-by-play right here on Setxsports.com Mike Sanchez, Tiger Sports and Setxsports.com broadcaster Click link to Listen [Hidden Content]

Of course. ;D

I can't just broadcast half a game. I may be doing the Kountze game instead, don't know yet.

Yes. He actually is out of state. '6"6 235lbs. 4.5 forty, threw for 5,098 yards, rushed for 1,256 yards, scored 73 td's this past season. He is just a soph. and is also the top student in his class. How's that for a rumor? ;D

Because I wanted to broadcast that game, but that's too early of a start. I will not be able to get there until about 6:45.

MANN SILSBEE GOT THIS ONE PRENTICE LANE IS BACK STARTING AND SHANNON ROBINSON, HILL AND DC ARE GONE SHUT EM DOWN ON DEFENSE why didnt you mention nick walters??? he hits every shot he takes averages like 8 rebounds a game 3 or 4 steals... Walters, Robinson, Byars, Lane, Stallworth, Thomas, and Hill will bring the heat to their home court. and AggiesAreWe(that's me, Mike Sanchez ;D) will bring the play-by-play of all that heat right here at Setxsports.com!!!

Hate to trump ya A-Town, but the best to come out of Buna has to be the Stanley brothers, Don and Pat. Don still holds the all time most points scored in a state championship game, any classification, with 51.

Exquisite Park is the park on 21st street. It is now named MLK Park.

No overtime here, Huntington wins this one by 15.

I'll buy dinner. Do you want large fries with that Big Mac? Snake River Grill huh. I prefer Jack Daniels my self.

Okay Lazeek, what time are you picking me up?

Can I bring my seeing-eye-dog with me? ;D

I couldn't help but notice one of the schools that the defensive back from The Woodlands is considering, "The Colorado School of Mines". ???
