I totally agree, the lighting in there is terrible. I could hardly read my roster sheets while broadcasting the game.

First of all, according to our records, West Brook is now 6-11, not 6-14. As for this game, West Brook played very well. I talked to Coach Simon after the game and he said this was the Briuns best game so far this season. West Brooks record is a little decieving as they have played a very tough schedule so far. Donte Lopez was on his game today, hitting several three's including those 3 down the stretch that kept Brook in the game. His penetration caused Silsbee some problems. Whittington was hot from outside also, hitting 4 three's, including the game winner at the buzzer. West Brook nailed 11 three's in the game total, out of 16 attempts. That was the difference. I look for West Brook to play well the rest of the season. Silsbee played better than they have the last couple of games, but still seem a little slow on the defensive end. Shannon was on his game today, hitting some clutch shots and getting to the line on his drive attempts. Shannon was money at the freethrow line, hitting 10 in a row, but failed to make the crucial 2 with 7 seconds left in overtime that probably would have won it for the Tigers. Silsbee losing Thomas and Hill to fouls down the stretch was costly too. West Brook's zone press caused some problems for Silsbee late in the game, denying Shannon the ball and causing some turnovers by the other Tiger players. Silsbee missed several point blank shots, something that has been a nemesis to the Tigers all season. This was a game the Tigers could and should have won. Silsbee still looks like a team that is tired of playing on the road and with 2 more road games still to come, Kelly and Newton next week, they may be in for some more disappointment. Lazeek, this little slump that Silsbee is going through right now can only remind me of a couple of years ago when HJ went through a mini slump when they lost Donahoe for a game or two, losing three in a row. The Hawks got back on the right track and went on to a state championship. I am hoping for the same with Silsbee. BTW, the schedule is correct according to the Silsbee coaching staff. Silsbee plays @Kelly Tuesday night, then @Newton Friday night. Newton plays @HJ the following Tuesday night, the 13th.

Broadcast to start in 2 minutes!

Game will tip off at 2:55pm. Broadcast will start at 2:50pm.

Game time is 3pm!!!

There is a possibility that Setxsports in conjunction with EastTxsports will broadcast this game. Stay tuned!!!! AAW are going too broadcast this game. I don't know yet. I will try and talk to Hub about it. He may have to do it without me.

That's fine with me, Hub. So, when Kirbyville was in our 3A district down here, you guys covered us as well? I did not know that.

well, just an example, according to your list Julius Hurndon, Daingerfield; Dadrian Powell, New Waverly; Bryan Waters, Winona, Henry Faulk, Grapeland; Reggie King, Mount Enterprise; Trevor Wait, White Oak, Chad Atchley, Simms Bowie; Kendrick Davis, Grapeland; Jerod Griffin, Cayuga, Eric Davis, Woodville; Trey McGowan, Kerens; Michael Meserole, Hooks; Chris Savala, West Rusk; Colton Turbeville, Scurry-Rosser; Garrett Williams have all had better years than Broderick Jackson from Kirbyville, well if this is true then somebody better call Rice cause their going to be very upset!! ryker, Broderick getting a scholarship from Rice has nothing to do with what player had better years. It's based on ability, skill, and potential. These players that you named may have had better seasons statisticly, but that doesn't make them better college prospects. These all-star teams are only based on what the player did this season, not if he is getting a football scholarship.

I know that we will be including Kirbyville in our All Setxsports teams, so Hub, it would probably have been better that they were not even considered for the Easttexsports teams. We will always include Kirbyville, Newton, and Woodville in our coverage but not necessarily the teams in their respective district. Kind of like Jasper, we will cover those guys, but not the rest of their district when considering these all-star teams. I can understand including these teams in the Easttex coverage, but a line has to be drawn somewhere.

This game will be broadcast here on the site tomorrow night. Look for the game thread tomorrow with the broadcast link.

I am afraid Jasper doesn't make it to the playoffs. Lufkin Hudson, Center, and Carthage will be the representatives from this district. Aggies, have you seen Carthage play this year? No, I have not seen Carthage play. I do have some contacts who have seen them play and they tell me they are pretty good. The top teams in this district is Hudson and Center. After that, it will come down to Carthage, Jasper, and Rusk for that last playoff spot. Based on what I have seen from Jasper and what people tell me of Carthage, I am going with Carthage as the 3rd place team.

I am afraid Jasper doesn't make it to the playoffs. Lufkin Hudson, Center, and Carthage will be the representatives from this district.

Thanks, I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Sportsdaddd, you'll have to excuse Bluedove, he is as about as sarcastic as they come. 95% of his posts are just sarcasm.

Jordan has a Setxsports MySpace. I am a friend of it.

It was good meeting you, Master T. You keep backing those Tigers. You are a great Tiger fan.

At 1:30 against Tarkington. It's not a trophy game. Only trophy games will be championship(HJ vs. winner of Kelly-Hitchcock), 3rd place (Newton vs. loser of Kelly-Hitchcock) and consolation final (Hamshire-Fannett vs. winner of Big Sandy-Lumberton)

This is as good as Silsbee has done in one school year: The '05-'06 school year for Tiger sports will go down as one of the most successful years in their history. Silsbee claimed 10 district championships, a runner-up, and a third place in the 12 team sports it participated in. Not bad. Here is how they finished: Football: 4-1, runner up Vollyball: undefeated, champ Boys basketball: 10-0, champ Girls basketball: 10-0, champ Baseball: 10-0, champ Softball: 7-3, third Boys track: champ Girls track: champ Boys golf: champ Girls golf: champ Boys tennis: champ Girls tennis: champ Silsbee sent a team in every sport to the playoffs

Last year's regional tourney was Silsbee, Hardin-Jefferson, Crockett, and Waco Connally. Silsbee defeated HJ in the regional final. That was Silsbee's third regional final game in last four years.

LMAO!!!! I love it! ( Lazeek, I bet Clay looked at the books after each game when he played ;D)

I wasn't too far off of the 9 point win by HJ that I had predicted. I knew that Newton would be a good test for the Hawks. It all would come down to what team took more advantage with their strengths, the HJ guard pressure or the Newton inside game. Looks like the HJ guards prevailed.

I went back and counted my posts on this thread. 107!! out of 175. That has to be a record!!! I had a lot of fun yesterday. ;D

Good post, spinks. Glad to see you on here, don't be such a stranger. (btw, tell your brother to keep his fingers off my keyboard ;D)

I will not be making the trip down to Winnie today to do the updates from the tournament. I am doing the New Year's Eve thing with my wife and two sons. I hope you guys understand. Cfont will keep the updates going down there as best he can. I thank you Coach Fontenot for your help. I hope you guys have a great day down there and I wish you a Happy New Year!

Silsbee is definetly in a funk. The two losses to Cleveland and Clear Creek was more to do with the terrible play of the Tigers than the play of their opponents. Silsbee's offense really went stale over these two games and their defense was as lazy as I have seen all year from them. Take in mind both opponents were good teams, but if the Tigers play to their standards, they beat both these teams 7 out 10 times. Silsbee is hurting from the lack of play from Shannon with his bad wrist. The team seems to be just going through the motions and they are not showing any kind of inspired play whatsoever. Please understand me, I am not making any excuses for Silsbee in these losses. I truly believe they deserved to lose these games because of their own poor play. It's the worst I have seen them play all year. Silsbee looks like a tired and frustrated team right now with no get up and go in them at all. They have three pretty tough games coming up, West Brook, Kelly, and Newton, all on the road, before district starts. I think having to play on the road for 2 months has caught up with the Tigers. If they continue to play the way they did these last two games, they will lose these next three headed into district. I still have faith and "confidence" : in my Tigers and I believe they will right the ship and make a run to Austin. I still believe they are the team to beat in Region 3.
