Losing most of the team. The big man Clover is the only returning starter and really the only Titan who saw serious minutes.

He is a perfect fit for the Tigers. For a team with many personalities and “stars,” a coach who commands the respect Coach Sig does is almost a necessity. I have heard him bark an order on multiple occasions and those boys fall in line like soldiers. Congrats to Coach Sigler on two amazing accomplishments, that collided on the same magical night.

Well, I admit I was hoping DFW was going home completely empty handed. Allen was a very impressive team though. Gritty, disciplined and played so well as a team. Great run by Tompkins though. I would have bet against them for the last 4 or 5 games.

Amen and amen. Kid has been through a lot. But he refused to be defined by the valleys. I’ve said it before and I will say it again - McCain is full of class and heart. For me, this one was a little more special due to his journey.

47-45 Tompkins :27 secs left.

44 all 1:20 left.

Tompkins pulls ahead 43-39 3:28 left.

Allen 39-37 4:55 left.

I would think you nailed it. I would have missed both 6A semifinal games. But I was really impressed in the semis with the way Allen moved the ball and their patience on offense.

39p,11r,6a. Gotta be #3.

Wish I was there. Think I will head down to the French Quarter and raise a glass to Badsanta and his Tigers!

Free throws, free throws, free throws. Silsbee finishes 30 of 34 from the line and needed most of them obviously. Some very good Tiger teams of the past would have lost this one because they were average at best from the charity stripe. Hats off to the Cowboys who proved they were definitely Silsbee’s toughest playoff opponent. Congrats Tigers on going back to back!!! Is it too early to talk threepeat???

Congrats to the Titans! So proud of those kids. And well done Mike Sanchez on the broadcast and Chatman for your MVP vote. Both were spot on. Now go call one more championship victory for the 409!

Titans did well to close it to 3 before the half.

Horrible foul call on Valsin on incidental contact well after a dunk.

Titans make their FTs and this game is at least tied. Hix is a player though.

I think and hope Silsbee’s experience will be the difference and they will accomplish the repeat. But Carter will be their biggest test since before district play began.

Allen way too quick for Westlake. This man to man is yielding a lot of layups for the Eagles. 50-40 after 3.

I was so glad everyone got a chance to experience playing at State today. Especially if tomorrow is a close one.

I was shocked. If you told me Maxey was going to drop 40+ and Tompkins would win, I would have laughed. Every round I expect Tompkins to lose and every round they keep winning. I like them better against Allen than Westlake too.

Yates would not beat Carter, or Lincoln for that matter, or at least not most of the time. If you’ve seen all 3, you’d understand why. For the same reason Silsbee would beat Yates 8 or 9 times out of 10. Yates system is just not as effective against elite guard play.

I think that’s about right. I think this is probably the best 2 teams in the state playing for it all. I think there were a couple of teams from that region who would have beaten Yates due to the Lions’ system. This should be strength on strength. I expect it to be close and hopefully the Tigers pull away in the end. Carter kids were saying they wanted silsbee. Be careful what you wish for...

Yes. Yes you are...

I would say that’s a good first 16 minutes of the state tournament.

HJ 2 percenter!
