That was ugly! But a win is a win!

Good news for the Tigers is that they're ice cold from the field, apart from the first two minutes their press has been largely ineffective, and they're still up at the half.

Silsbee quit making shots, and haven't been able to set up their press. Glad you're here to troll. Knew we could count on you.

Tigers are struggling in their half court sets. 6 3-pointers taken, 0 made.

6-6 . Silsbee 0-4 from deep. They've taken about 12 shots to argyle's 3, but argyle is 2-3 from the field.

Tigers up 6-0. Argyle is getting wrecked by their pressure so far. Argyle with at least 4 turnovers already.

4-0, Tigers.

0-0. just started.

sure sounds like Silsbee travelled a lot better than argyle fans.

still announcing the lineups

just watched several minutes of his highlights from the season. he's something that Silsbee hasn't faced much since early in the year, which is a fast, highly skilled guard with the handle to singlehandedly escape the press, and he's a hell of a passer, too... it'll be fun to see him matchup against the tigers tomorrow, assuming Silsbee handles their business today, and that Heritage doesn't mount a massive comeback in the next little bit.

agree with you about the team that was down 25 at the half... hopefully you're right about brazosport.

saw this coming. Brazosport is good. going to be a real test for Silsbee.

looks like they've tipped. hopefully someone will update

this is disappointing to me this year. I was very interested in watching these games, but not $9.95 interested when I can listen to Mike for free.

I'm curious to hear your evaluation of these two teams.

Clarendon on a good old fashioned 36-9 run

Grapeland shoulda put it away

Halftime started 26 minutes ago. I'm assuming it's in the 3rd q right now

I can't think of any small towns that have multiple public high schools. Bigger cities do, but there's generally an obvious geographical need for them. It's not practical for a city the size of Beaumont to have one school, but at the same time it's not practical for a city the size of dallas to have an abundance of 3A and 4A schools a few miles apart from each other. it would take some common sense to figure it all out, but I'm sure something could be worked out.

kind of, but it's still a town of 2000 people. They're not going to get move-ins to play there, and if so, it certainly won't be like it is in dallas. In dallas, if you aren't getting PT at one school, these kids can just go "stay with family" and all of a sudden they're playing for a new school, and it may literally be a move of a couple of miles, if they even move at all.

I know this wasn't what you meant, but I think most 3A schools who have to face a squad pulling talent from a major city are going to face a pretty terrible matchup. I think of our local 3A schools, and the towns of a 1000-2000 (or less) people that they're in, with the tiny talent pools the draw from, and then I look at a school like Dallas Madison. Santa Rosa had approximately 2700 people during the last census. Dallas had 1.3 million. and while Madison does not have the full run of the city when it comes to their talent, i think it's safe to say their talent pool is infinitely deeper than the schools they beat to get here. It just doesn't set right with me for big city schools to play in 4A and 3A.

don't be a fool... the free throws they missed in the 1st quarter were what REALLY affected the game...

its a poorly written article, but it looks like they refer to his 3-pointer in two different places. one when they talk about it with 25 seconds left, and another later in the article when "grapeland had their chances to win in regulation, nursing a 3-point lead". anyway, who the heck knows.

I was hesitant at first, but Dak earned his spot as the starter
