Shaka struggling to find some chemistry with this group. In desperate need of a Pg. Playing 2s at 1 isn't working well. Matt Coleman from Oak Hill would be an absolute game changer for the Horns. Let's hope the crystal ball is correct...

Aggy gives extensions after bottom half finishes. Just like when they were consistently finishing in the bottom half of the Big XII...

@ 10:30 am, no?

This. It is inevitable. Not even worth an I told you so. All but the most delusional of aggys are taking a cue from their distinguished alumni Clayton Williams...

True, true. Just saying though. And in all fairness from what I'm told, this is not just basketball. Even in academic endeavors (such as UIL, one act play, etc.), and even in its facilities, Silsbee ISD tends to invest more in its kids than its district mates...

It's all relative. I would venture to say Silsbee probably has double the basketball budget of any other team in the district. Maybe even more.

They are still much deeper than SP. When they play, after Jones and Sam, the next best 8-10 players in the game will be Rebels. Losing Mackey does hurt because he is so active and plays strong. But they will be fine.

Sabine Pass will be right there and probably has the two best players in the district. I would give Evadale an edge though due to depth.

Oh I didn't think it was intentional, except for one spurt when one of the three officials seemed to get his feelings hurt amd couldn't stop blowing his whistle. Baffling is a good word. Two things in particular. First, with the call I was referencing, it was apparent they didn't know what a moving screen was. Tarkington was wisely using that to their advantage but on that play, with the screener moving more like a football left tackle and blocking the defender, the defensive player used his hands to get around him and was whistled for a foul. The noncall was worse than the call and it was the most blatant moving screen of the night. Then in the game before, with the same crew, there was a call I'd never seen before (because it doesn't exist). One of the refs called a "defensive charging." When the coach thought he must have heard wrong and asked for clarification, the ref confirmed the call. I agree I don't think it was malicious at all. The problem was that 2 of the three in the crew obviously didn't even know the rules of the game. To be fair, they blew a couple of calls late against Tarkington as well. If you guys get equal or worse than that regularly, I feel for you. It was hard to watch.

Sometimes. Sometimes more like the old lady in that old commercial...

Absolutely. Keep plugging away. Definitely making some big strides. And I would imagine EC is getting pretty salty about now. Young team but it doesn't take Sutherland long to get his boys playing good basketball. Hall of famers tend to do that...

Seen a lot of bad officiating. This is the worst. Just called a defensive foul on an awful moving screen.

C'mon Santa. You're better than that. NFL vs HS basketball??

We know it's not rocket science. We know fatigue happens in basketball. I think what many of us found funny were the ones complaining about the games being too close together when you are as deep as Silsbee is, playing a pretty weak team for that tournament. You lost by a bucket. You missed 197 free throws. Maybe the legs might just have been fresh enough to make four or 5 of all those misses...

Some Silsbee fans seem to be a lot softer than their players. How many entire tournaments has Kelly won playing basically 5 guys only and having multiple games in one day?

Dang

Mixon is a POS and Stoops is a clown.

Maybe Jacquet will get some balls thrown his way. Never too early!!

I meant that would be close to what the score would be with 3 mins left.
