What is the final score? The UIL brackets show 81 - 57 and has a recap.

Will the Spring Hill game be streamed.

A good win against a good team. Now we need HF to hold up their end so we can have a local quarter final.

Yep. And to make it to San Antonio we'll play Wheatley then Washington back to back. A very tall order. Silsbee vs. 21-4A, what a surprise. Unless of course Chapel Hill might somehow pull off the upset of upsets.

It opens the door. BC matches up fine against Spring Hill.

For what it’s worth they now have the best high school facility in the area. That’s got to count for something. If they pack it out it could be a tough place to go play.

They played a great second half. Dare we hope they have a chance against La Vega. LV isn’t going to throw the ball away every other time down the court.

Tidbit. Maxpreps has Silsbee ranked 14th with a rating of 23.1 and HJ ranked 22nd with a rating of 19.86. The coaches poll has HJ at 12 and Silsbee at 13. I guess we'll see who's a better prognosticator, man or machine.

This is interesting. Maxpreps has Silsbee ranked 14th with a rating of 23.1 and HJ ranked 22nd with a rating of 19.86. The coaches poll has HJ at 12 and Silsbee at 13. I guess we'll see who's a better prognosticator, man or machine.

I "accidently" attended the HJ girls game yesterday and I attended the Silsbee girls game tonight. These two teams are mirror images of each other. Ranked side by side. Should be a great girls game. Based on performance versus common opponents the HJ girls have to be considered the favorite. But a Tigers win wouldn't couldn't be called an upset.

If we're talking Monday the Montagne.... excuse me... the Neches Federal Credit Union Arena at the Montagne Center... there that's better, is available. No Lamar home games on that day. It's almost exactly the same distance from both schools. Made to order. The girls game is the marquette. The second and third best teams in Region 3. But first Silsbee has to play a good Jacksonville team that split with Madisonville. HJ shouldn't have much trouble with Gilmer.

See what I mean about LCM being a mystery? Since the Tigers gelled after Christmas LCM is the only district team has been able to hold them under 100 and they did it both times. This game wasn't very competitive but somehow the Tigers only managed 78 points. Some of it was senior subs but the Tigers had only 42 at the half. If you go to Maxpreps and look at the Tiger's schedule it looks like LCM should be the number 2 team in the district. Silsbee handled LCM with relative ease but not with as much ease as they handled everybody else.

Miller went down and came up limping.

Or maybe not. 20 - 4 after 1. Tiger defense is smothering.

This is the best matchup for the last district game.

Graduation will hit the Tigers hard. But every varsity player remaining is a contributor including two starters.

Likely there will be the biggest crowd of the season for either of these teams. This is not only a good local rivalry game and a generally good game and the seeding has some meaning, but it's also probably the only game in town on Friday. The girls round 2 will be on Thursday. Could have a lot of interest beyond just the two schools. As far as the brackets go looking ahead neither will face an opponent ranked higher than they until they meet Hitchcock. Thing is the runner-up gets Hitchcock in the third round and the winner gets them in the Region final. I think it would be better to get more wins under your belt before facing the No. 1 ranked team. Either way barring upset Hitchcock waits at the end of the 3A Region 3 rainbow.

West Fork is a new school right? Does it even have seniors?

91 - 41 after 3

62 - 28 at the half

30 - 15 after one

This has to be one of the finest 4A facilities in the state. How do we get ourselves one of these? It would be a great playoff venue but it’s out at the edge of the universe,

Right HF. I get my H’s mixed up. There are so many in that district.

Great win Hawks! Puts HJ in sole possession of 1st and makes HJ clear masters of their own fate. Ironically Huffman will likely have a somewhat easier path to Region as the runner up than HF will have as the winner.

8? I still don't get it.
