What time is championship game?

"Chain Gang." And show em this one too. Yeah, I'm sure Navarro still thinks it would be a mistake for WOS to think they would be more physical...

AND there is a world famous Hamburger Depot across from the stadium as well as what I will claim is some of the best Cuban food in Texas just down the street. I think this needs to get done!

I highly he had anything to say David. I'll bet he's been "speechless" since about the second quarter!

Come on td! They can come watch the game from the stands. Only about a 2 hour drive!!

Anyone predicting a close game with a team that runs the slot T hasn't seen enough of this defense and doesn't know Cornel Thompson! Not gonna happen.

One more step boys! We in SETX are all pulling for you!! (I was at a Christmas Party tonight and we had someone providing regular updates. You are truly the pride of the OC!)

Look, I was with you guys on the Wagner thing. Thought it was dumb to put arguably the two best teams in the tournament against each other in the first round (akin to having Duke and Kentucky play first in March Madness). But FBISD gave Silsbee a road map to go deep in this one. All you had to do was beat Eisenhower. Not only that, if you had beaten a team that was clearly very beatable, they had probably the two best teams in the tournament in the opposite side of the bracket (Bush and Sam Houston, who ironically played in the first round of bracket play). A game was lost that should have been won, regardless of rest. Again, a deep team of teenagers should be able to play two games with an hour and a half in between with no issues. They aren't old out of shape old men like us. I can promise you many from this bunch has played more physically demanding schedules than this in the past.

Amen. That's all I'm saying. And the good news is I'm sure that was Coach Sig's message to the team as well.

Uh oh

You are 12-14 deep. Relative to other teams at least. Not saying at all that your Coach should play that deep normally. But there is no way anyone should whine about 15-18 yo kids playing two games in an afternoon, especially when you have that many kids who can really play (I.e., would be starters at most schools). Make the majority of your free throws and you win. Period.

OF 82 Evadale 68 F P Lathrop 21 pts, 6 rebs and 5 assists. Dishler 13 pts and 14 rebs A Lathrop 12 pts C Kress 10 pts and 7 rebs Catt 7 pts, 11 rebs and 4 assists. Not only is this the most points I've seen them score in a few years, the Bobcats finish with 51 rebounds and 21 assists which I'm sure is the most they've had in several years. Sunny Hardy has done a heckuva job with those boys and brought them a long way in a short amount of time.

I agreed on the ridiculousness of Silsbee having to play Wagner in the first round of the last tournament. But in this one, Silsbee got put in a relatively weak pool in this tournament, "relatively" because the other 7 pools had a stronger team in it than Hightower. If you look at the pools, Silsbee was definitely the "A" team in the pool and was expected to make the gold bracket. The bottom line is this: if you miss EIGHTEEN free throws in a game and lose by 3, to make additional excuses is weak sauce. Refs didn't cost you the game, time slots didn't cost you the game, YOU cost you the game. Besides, if anyone can run through 2 games in a 4-5 hour period, a team that runs 12 to 14 deep ought to be able to do it. If you don't shoot better from the line than that, good teams can beat you and really good teams WILL beat you. Hopefully the Tigers get that issue corrected.

Heard Lexi dropped 51 in this one

Marvin was a lock with Strong. Now it's LSU's race to lose. That's all right, I will take a change at the top over a DT, special as he is. Probably the best recruit to come out of Texas at that position since Tommie Harris.

Well dang. Was hoping to catch a Silsbee-Bush matchup on Saturday. Guess not. Tigers head to the middle bracket.

Dumb fouls take years off coaches' lives...

Noonan!!
