I'm hoping it works much better at state tourney. My wife watched a few games last year on the TV app and she said it worked fine.

According to the UIL website, only NFHS is doing the games this year. No TV games.

I don't understand it. Never heard of them doing this. Not sure what the reasoning would be. I'm just glad I don't have to worry about a ticket. 😉

Bottom line, Silsbee kids are just tougher minded and have that will to win that showed in their games vs. Furr and Washington last year. Both those teams showed frustration even when they were ahead of Silsbee. Silsbee kids just don't get rattled. I also think Silsbee is way better in the coaching department than Furr and Washington. Big reason why I have Silsbee winning the region.

Not to my knowledge.

I have it posted in the regional tourney pick and line thread.

Houston ISD is growing very tired of losing to a little podunk town of Silsbee so they have put a lot of eggs in their basket to solve that problem.

One could say that a team that had two superlatives should have made the playoffs. I think this is the first time I have ever seen a team have two superlatives and not make playoffs. Probably has been done before but I'm not aware of it. Again, got no problem with Sells being MVP but just wouldn't be my choice.

True but they don't have to reveal the number.

6A United (-18) vs. Katy Jordan United wins region 5A PA Memorial vs. Killeen Ellison (-13) FB Marshall wins region 4A Silsbee (-4) vs. Houston Furr Silsbee wins region 3A New Waverly (-5) vs. Palmer Hitchcock wins region Lets see your picks

I got no problems with this list. Personally, Perrault would have been my MVP and Scales my Newcomer.

Most likely

Because Lamar staff was taking the tickets, I highly doubt they counted. Don't want to be showed up by a high school game which sadly they did.

Yes

No. They do not clear arena.

I think Clay had a great game plan. No three point shooting (only attempted 5 the whole game) and attacking the basket. The 24 turnovers were their downfall. Silsbee getting that double digit lead in 2nd half then spreading the floor and isolating Harris and Miller, putting the ball in their hands exclusively, was a great move. Silsbee did not shoot the ball very well (5/19 three, 14/24 FT) but their defensive adjustment after the 1st quarter was big. HJ scored single digits in 2nd and 3rd quarters (8,9). I had a good feeling that HJ would play Silsbee really tough in this one. It's just that Silsbee is better and they have two super stars in Harris and Miller along with some very complimentary support. HJ just doesn't have that go to guard but they play so well as a team.

And Titans

Key is staying 3A. Talked to Smalley and he said it will be very close.

Going to put up a thread later today with my predictions and lines.

Friday, March 3 Class 6A Region III Beaumont United 54 Katy Jordan 39 F (United faces Clear Falls) Class 5A Region III Port Arthur Memorial 34 Killeen Ellison 50 F (Killeen Ellison faces FB Marshall) Class 4A Region III Silsbee 68 Houston Furr 62 F (Silsbee faces Houston Washington) Class 3A Region III New Waverly 57 Palmer 51 F (New Waverly faces Hitchcock) Saturday, March 4 Class 6A Region III Beaumont United 53 Clear Falls 48 F Class 5A Region III Killeen Ellison 66 Fort Bend Marshall 50 F Class 4A Region III Silsbee 70 Houston Washington 76 F Class 3A Region III New Waverly 44 Hitchcock 65 F

What's in Austin? Oh, and Brookeland was 2A last year.

Pretty safe to say that in these last 20 years, 4A Region III runs through Silsbee.

With this win, Silsbee advances to the regional tourney for the 9th consecutive year and 15 of the last 19 seasons. Looking to make their 13th regional final appearance in those 19 seasons.

I have seen Ellison. Those guys are really really good.

I got 4A Region III and 1A Region IV correct. Got 3 of 4 in 5A Region III, 2A Region III and 2A Region IV. 2 of 4 in 6A Region III, 5A Region II and 3A Region III. Out of a total of 32 picks, I got 23 right.
