I was there on the Silsbee side and it was ugly from the start and until I left at half. Sislbee finally started to move the ball on their last drive of the half. PNG O Line having their way with the Silsbee D Line.

Just another Silsbee fan who does not nave a clue.

Could not agree more and look forward to hoop season.

Master T I sure wish that there were more honest people like you from Silsbee and HJ. Well said and best of luck to Silsbee this year. If HJ can't win then I hope it is another team from our district.

Very well said........

You are right I edited my post........

Silsbee may beat HJ this year.......Silsbee may have great tradition in some people eyes....Silsbee may win state this year.....Silsbee this and Silsbee that.......It still does not change the fact that HJ is the defending AAA state champ and is still not getting the respect from alot of Silsbee fans. A portion of people take losing with some pride, but the select group of Tiger fans have not, that is ashamed!!! I know alot of people from Silsbee and they have been complimentary about the Hawks and they are looking forward to this years games but they have all been respectful. It is embarrasing to the Tiger faithful that a few of the Tiger fans have not.

Thanks for supporting my statements a little. I have often said that Silsbee is a more athletic team than HJ is. They are one of the most athletic teams that I ahve ever laid eyes on on any level. It is just frustrating that a SMALL portion of the Silsbee faithful continue to not give credit where credit is due!!!!! HJ has the bragging rights right now and hopefully they will continue to have them. Donahoe was a man on the court and will be hard to replace but with the coaching staff that HJ ahs they will all pitch in and fill the void. Hopefully HJ and Silsbee will have the battles this year that they ahd last year with one of them going on the win the gold!!!!!! I just hope that it is HJ again!!!!!

Yes, I screwed up on the Buna team being from Hardin County, they are from Jasper County. Who cares about the games between SIlsbee and Lincoln.....this is now and with all of the so called tough teams that Silsbee has played being in 4A...how has that helped them now.....shouldn't Silsbee be destroying all competition on the 3A level. I have said it once and will continue to say it. Silsbee has better athletes and that is it compared to HJ. HJ has better basketball players, HJ players are smarter on the floor, HJ has more heart, HJ plays better as a team and most importantly HJ has a better coaching staff. Silsbee would have won state last year had they had the coaching staff that HJ has. You can say what you want about tradition.....Tradition is teams that ultimately win the gold!!!! How can they have tradition if they have not won it all. Also I never said that Buna or Evadale were better than Silsbee.....I said that they have more tradition!!!!! Take a statewide poll of the top 5-6 basketball rich tradition schools in SE Texas (Region 3) and Silsbee would not be in the poll. Lincoln Buna Kountze Ozen HJ Goodrich Can you say that Silsbee is ahead of any of these teams......NO WAY!!!!!! Silsbee may have had some good teams back when Arline and Holden played, but didn't they go undefeated one year and lose in the first round of the playoffs to Whitehouse or someone like that? Great tradition!!!! Maybe I have gotten off beat and frustrated with some of the people from Silsbee running there mouths about HJ and how they were better than HJ last year. If I upset anyone then I am sorry. There are several people on both sides that need to shut up, maybe I am one of them. FYI....I am 34 and not a student!!! I hide nothing....just click on my name to see my identity!!!! I hide nothing. Rob

NO, that was the only thing that I chose to bring up. What has Silsbee won to deem themselves a Basketball Tradition school? What makes you think that Silsbee is a rivalry to HJ??? Last year was the 1st year that Silsbee even played HJ close. There are only a few basketball rich schools in SE Texas....and Silsbee is not one of them!!!! How does it make Silsbee feel that they are not the best team in the county...not even the 2nd best team!!!! There are several schools in Hardin county that have more basketball tradition than Silsbee!!! Kountze, HJ, Buna just to name a few. I would even put Evadale ahead of Silsbee as far as tradition goes!!! So go back to class and quit talking about the matchup that is still several months away. I know that you have been waiting since that dreadful day back in March to start talking about this season. HJ has some things to do before that game even comes around.......which includes hanging another State Championship banner in the gym. By the way....when was Silsbee's last State Championship in basketball? HJ's was about 5 months ago!! That is one more than Silsbee has....but wait HJ has 3!!

40-50 miles apart??????? how do you go from Silsbee to get to Sour Lake????

No matter how good he is, he won't get credit because he is from a small school!!!! I agree the kid can stroke it.....basketball that is!!!!!

Got lucky????? The better TEAM won in Huntsville!!! Silsbee has better athletes from top to bottom. HJ kids have more heart and they are better basketball players. And HJ definately has a huge edge in coaching from top to bottom.

I am sure that is the reason that HJ backed out!!!!! It is tough to say, but I believe that Hj would have taken Kountze last year!!!!

Yeah right!!!!!

He wont get credit as he is not from one of the big schools and he is from a private school. Although he is likely the best shooter out of this area in the last 10 years
