Family Faith by 15. I hope I’m wrong.

I am going by AAW’s house later with a bunch of plastic bottles and a water hose. I’m starting a Silsbee bottled water company. I don’t know what’s in it but it must be some good stuff.

Just happy we play a solid PAC 12 team tomorrow. We aren’t getting better playing these weak a$$ SEC schools.

Thank you Silsbee! I will be enjoying rubbing this win in through the end of July!

I see what you did there, even if you didn’t 😉

Agreed.

He would have been great.

I’m going to take Silsbee 87-85. May be more of a heart over mind pick, but that’s what I’m going with. This is the matchup I’ve wanted to see all season (I don’t care as much about the Dallas teams) because they have clearly been the best two teams in our region all year long. These two have been on a collision course and I’m just glad people will get to see it. I say “people” because I won’t since the game fell at the exact same time as a game I can’t miss. Otherwise I would have gladly made the drive to Lufkin. But I will be following on my phone. Go Tigers!

That’s the thing about Coach Sigler. Unlike certain teams over in Houston, he does make adjustments against certain teams. And the pressure where you just make them uncomfortable bringing it up is fine. You’re just keeping the ball in front of you and making the guards work. What doesn’t work well against BTW is the all-out, full court pressure where you are trapping and selling out to try and force turnovers. What you force against the elite teams is a lot of abuse of their rim after they’ve broken the press. Silsbee’s press is usually just a full court man that they will trap and jump the ball depending on circumstances (as opposed to a diamond and 1, etc.). And I know you are well aware of all of that. Just stating the differences for those who might not be.

I will not argue with your time tested analytics as I have not studied the metric like you have. However, I will just hope that Silsbee has some SMRJs in their bag to offset their disadvantage in the dunk department..

Silsbee needs to prove you can lose the dunk count and win the game tomorrow. Because I would bet a hefty sum they ain’t winning that stat against Booker T.

Even after they “gelled,” Washington is just better. Period. Better players, superior size, and Yates never gets creative with their schemes. BTW must have had 20 dunks or more in those games against the back end of that press. JY played as well as they could have at home in the second outing and still almost lost by double digits. Silsbee has a great shot at another trip to state tomorrow. But don’t get it twisted that BTW and Yates were basically the same team at the end of the year. Line em up and play 10 right now and BTW wins at least 8 of them. Future is bright for the Lions, but through next season, HISD belongs to Booker T.

Very good analysis. I agree. BTW 5 on 5 is a decided favorite. Going to come down to whether they can hold up. Playing twice in 24 hours favors Silsbee’s depth as well. The down side is they didn’t play well today and teams of that caliber don’t usually have back to back poor outings. Silsbee on the other hand was clicking and played well. Silsbee also will be on a few less hours rest which sometimes can make a difference. Booker T plays like they did today, Silsbee by 10. Lewis will likely bounce back and play much better. He tends to get a lot of points on teams that press as well. Will come down to whether the studs score 60-70 points on the tigers and whether that will be enough.

Insane

Yes. Maybe the smartest thing Beto has done. It’s a big enough issue that it will swing a serious amount of votes imo. I don’t quite get it but there is a faction that it really moves. Single issue votes akin to some pro-lifers.

Silsbee. Next two games should be very good. I look for United to bounce back strong and could be a blowout. But of course it’s never boring watching that crew. But Silsbee should have great games here on out. Was tempted to make that drive to Lufkin to watch in person.

oh so when you agreed with Kountze having the MVP and the offensive MVP, you were just teasing? Merely pointing out that you can’t use the “oh my, poor Kountze was only picked for 4th because they didn’t have as much talent” argument AND say they arguably had the 2 best players in the district. Capeche?

Buna had a better overall season and based on the all district superlatives, Joubert had better players. But no reason to bring logic and reason into arguments on this board 😉.

Don’t use preseason predictions. If coaches are horrible at anything, it is predicting those. I mean sometimes ridiculously wrong. I heard that too many times last year with Lumberton picked 4th or whatever with a D1 player. Only an imbecile would have picked them that low. Whitmire did the best coaching job this year in that district, period and end of story. To argue otherwise? Well, would make you fit right in with those preseason district predictions.

Who did Buna piss off? Lol

Ken is a bucket. May be the best player in 4A.

Perfectly stated. Very good with potential for greatness. I would say the same for BTW, btw. (See what I did there?)

Kind of reminds me of Silsbee last season. Yep overdue for a game where they shoot the lights out. Hopefully have a few of those in the tank.

Ghost is an 8th grader at Orangefield now. But Ben Elliott can go on a heater too.
