Class 3A Orangefield vs. Hitchcock Tuesday, Feb. 28 7pm Barbers Hill HS, Mont Belvieu

I was pretty surprised by this outcome.

Correct. Regional final

FYI, not everyone wants to host a playoff game. Some schools don't want the head ache.

Lot's, but I digress. Doubt either coach wants to play at a venue that one has played at this season and the other hasn't.

Another possibility would be PN-G

Only because Toyota Center has zero interest in hosting a high school playoff game. Particularly a Class 4A Regional Quarterfinal. Those guys are not even wanting the state tourney there. At least NRG was hosting a state semifinal in the biggest sport in the state which was a good halfway point for both teams. If Silsbee and HJ were playing a regional quarterfinal game in football, it would not be played at NRG. It's very obvious you are just being silly. At least I hope so.

I believe this game will be played at East Chambers or Kountze. Just my gut feeling

Yes.

You going to pay for the rental?

Montagne Center is not available during the day.

Only until I get to the beach. Silsbee needs to schedule away baseball games at East Chambers, High Island, Anahuac and Hamshire-Fannett.

Neither HJ or Silsbee want to play on Monday night. All want to play Tuesday night. That was a given.

Not sure BISD wants to host a game while both their schools are battling out cross town.

They are playing at the Montagne Center, the place you want Silsbee and HJ playing. Like I said, all 4 have to agree to have the double header there.

Just ate some yogurt for breakfast. I'm good for at least 2 hours.

Nope. In Silsbee till after the state basketball tourney. Regionals will be very very tough. But, it's not just up to Silsbee to play at Montagne. All parties involved (HJ, United and West Brook) have a say in this. I know for a fact at least one of those teams did not want a double header.

Them as in Silsbee after losing both games to Hudson?

This will be the 4th time these two have faced each other this season (1 tourney game, 2 district games, now 1 playoff) United is the overwhelming favorite but something tells me West Brook will put up a good fight. The line: United -17

They are not playing Hudson again?

You mean easier for you.

One but I think they will be fully staffed come Tuesday. My line is based on the fact that HJ has played much better since they lost to Silsbee by 21 earlier in the season.

In this case, Bryan HS gym is much smaller than Montagne Center and that's where the 4A Region III tourney will be. East Chambers gym would be a more suitable venue to prepare for regionals.

It's not up to Lamar. Coaches have to agree on site. Based on what I know of all the parties involved, this won't happen.

Silsbee -14
