I would take the short drive into New Braunfels and go to Pat's Place.

Yates shot great from three point land and the free throw line. Some said that Silsbee better not try to run with them or it would be a blowout. That was wrong. Yates press did not bother Silsbee, but Silsbee's press worked pretty well causing lots of Yates turnovers. Great game by both teams.

Silsbee.  198 Yates.  196

You guys are now 3A because you were running from the butt kicking you get from Dallas Kimball. I have a right to my opinion and I will state again that I hate Yates style of play. I dont have any respect for a team or a coaching staff that moves down to a lower level when they are 2 students short of being 4A, because they want a title so badly. You guys knew you could not win state at the 4A level. Again I will state that Yates is great at what they do: run and gun, but that's not the type of ball I like. If others like it, so be it. It's great, but I dont see how you guys can talk badly about HJ when they had a 5 man rotation compared to your 12. Under those circumstances we are very proud of the fact that the players kept the score close for 3 quarters. Things got out of hand when our only legitimate big man fouled out. 8) [/quote] What happened to Big Girls don't cry. You don't have to like our style of play or even respect it, but this style of play has won us 2 state 4A titles (Back to Back). The 1st one, we beat Dallas Kimble and the 2nd one, we beat Lancaster and wound up being national champs as well. We did lose to Dallas Kimble last year in the state final (The Travis twins lost also). We were not happy, but we understand that losing is a part playing the game. Our enrollment dropped and so we dropped to 3A. We played Dallas Kimble this year and beat them soundly, so for you to say that we are running from Dallas Kimble is funny and untrue. Giving your opinion is one thing and giving facts are another. Don't get the two twisted.[b] There are fans from every school that we all wish would just sit down and shut up, because they make us real fans look the same way as themselves[/b]. Nobody is talking bad about HJ. Your guys played a real scrappy game and showed a lot of heart. As educated fans, we don't think that we will walk through 3A and everybody will lay down for us. We expect the best game from everybody we play and nothing less. Texas A&M wasn't suppose to beat Alabama in football this, but look what happened. We are not taking this game or any game for granted. We just want a fair game , because we always have to play against the refs as well. [/quote]Exactly right, every school has them. No need to judge an entire schools fanbase on the actions of a few.  Silsbee has them, Yates has them.  It's just the way it is.  Silsbee has a huge uphill battle tomorrow night.  They will not be intimidated and will not back down, but neither will Yates.  Silsbee can win, but it will take a great team effort. Win or lose, Silsbee will have nothing to hold their heads down about.  You win, you beat a great team. You lose, you lost to a great team.

[quote name="Kountzer" post="1377728" timestamp="1361531534"] Back in the day Kashmere played Silsbee for the first time that I know of.  The game was played in Silsbee, at the old SHS gym.  The new high school hadn't been built yet. Silsbee had this guard, I forget his full name.  His last name was White if I recall correctly.  Anyway, he had a breakaway lay-up.  He had a nice touch on putting lay ups off the back boards.  He couldn't dunk so he laid it up.  Out of no where Karl Godine flew up and slapped the ball off the glass at least a foot above the rim.  Needless to say that brought the house down.  Silsbee hung around, but Kashmere ended up winning by double digits. [/quote]Gary White. Was a true point guard and as quick as they come. Good guy.

Silsbee played hard but WOS had more too lose. Im willing to say that Silsbee didnt play their best ball because they already had district wrapped up. Nothing to play for honestly. Great win by WOS but this is the 1st time you have beatin Silsbee in 7 years. WOS has a team good enough to get to Austin but thats about it. Silsbee MUST stop all the BS plays missing dunks. If yout not 6'5 or taller, lay  ball in for the easy 2. Silsbee has made a large share of dunks but if you know this isnt a sure thing, lay it up! Cost you the game tonight. Now is win or go home! [/quote]Hmmm. Did not know that there was a height requirement for dunking. [/quote]There isn't. But if you are only successful on 20-30% of your dunk attempts , just lay the ball up and take the points.

Stop trying to dunk

HJ missing a key player is still a very good basketball team. Silsbee must give 110% from the opening tip or some of these predictions may be way off. And no way Silsbee JV comes close to HJ Var.
