whsalum

This amounts to a 1 and done for the Bucs.

I never learned to shoot or dribble on paper and I studied the game alot over the years  ::) ::)

The Silsbee fans are a pretty quiet bunch on here but they are very knowledgable about the game.I have been to tons of games this year and the most fun about it is setting among the fans and listening at them support their clubs.The Sils/HJ game was packed so I got to sit among the Tiger faithful and they were anything but quiet there.Anyone that thinks this is gonna be a 15 point game is dreaming.They match up very well with Silsbee having a little edge on the point.They win this one in a close game.

Newton and E/C or Newton/Anahuac would be pretty close ballgames.Newton got a late start but the district there in isn't a real strong basketball district.

EC isn't anywhere near the club they have been in recent years.They will win a early playoff game if they get one of the prep schools but I don't see them going going very deep this season.

Congrats to the bulldogs.English does a great job with his clubs wherever he goes.

One thing won't change.One of these clubs will still be 3-1.At the end of the day you have to go by the head to head records,they don't lie.Right now however in the season that matters all three clubs are 0-0 in the season that counts.

One thing about it,if EC and Woodville play now it will be easy to get seats  ::) ::)

They are gonna be tough.

I haven't looked at the bracket but EC isn't real strong.They should win their first one easily if it's against the Prep schools but after that it's a toss up. What region is Cayuga playing in??

This will be a classic.Silsbee wins it by 4. Silsbee-86 Kountze-82

HJ wins this one by 20. HJ -80 Tarkington -60 The 2 guys that got suspended know what was coming  ;D ;D

I can tell you from expeience training hasn't been the issue.Up until this year Mike Simpson has been the training official and he is not only a great official but an even better teacher.You are taught as an official to get off the floor quickly after the horn.The first game I ever called I retrieved the ball after the final missed shot,my mentor,Tom Settle, gave me a clear message .Nothing good happens after the final horn to an official.The lead official in this ballgame is very good official.I texted my sister 1 minute into this game and told her 2 of these guys were in over there head.Believe it or not officials have bad games just like players and they are the first to know it.

I'll be there backing the Pirates.I think the game will be real close with depth being the deciding factor with the phsical play.Spurger has the better skill players but Newton will be deeper. Newton-60 Spurger-57 Good luck to both clubs in the playoffs. I sure would have liked to see a Spurger/Woodville matchup,it would have been a gem.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="761003" timestamp="1266387630"] The dry spell that Silsbee went through in the 4th was what killed them. They went scoreless from the 7 minute mark to the 3:15 mark. That 3:45  going scoreless was very costly. HJ went on a 10-0 run during that span. [/quote]That's where I said Travis probably wishes he had used a timeout and settled them down a little.

When both teams attack the basket and play pressure defense the foul count is gonna be big,as long as it's big on both sides the players and coaches have to adjust.Silsbee has a ton of talent but probably need to post Stallworth up a little more when the games are at a crucial point.He seems to have a pretty calm demeanor when some of those around him are losing it.This was a fun game to watch and the atmosphere was unreal.

Gotta agree with ya about the young guy from Spurger he is gonna be a good one.

The foul count was pretty even and as whistle happy as it was it was consistant.They blew it on both ends all night.The turning point in this game came on a 5 point swing Ricossa had in the second half.Silsbee had been in control until then, if Travis had it to do over he probably calls a time out there and settles his kids down.This was not an easy balgame to call in the officials defense.Every player pushed it to the edge on every possessions.I gotta say #32 for the Tigers is as good a player as I've seen all year.

Good ballgame from a fans perspective.Game was called pretty even but lots of whistles on both sides.It was almost like the officials were trying to hard.You could see the potential for an upset here for miles.

I don't know why the UIL puts these schools in these 2-a districts.If they want them to play in a UIL district they need to spread them out in existing districts.This makes a joke out of the playoffs.

It will be hard to beat HJ after a tough loss at WOS. This is a trap game for the Tigers if I've ever seen one.The Hawks success from here on out will depend on how Ricossas knee holds up.I'll take HJ at home by 4.

Very good showing Ladys ,congrats on a fine season.

Now I'm confused.They are a better team than the one that played last night?? They are the team that played last night. I haven't looked at a UIL bracket but I don't see the Eagles going real deep.They will have there hands full with Anahuac or EC and neither of those clubs are regional type clubs this year.
