Besides Johnson, Cartwright will be a big one. He's capable of 20 points a game if he can keep it together. Others include Gains, Walker, and another Jones. There may be one or two more, but I'm not 100 percent sure if they're going to play basketball or not.

It's typical early season Tiger basketball. It'd be really easy for Silsbee to go around clubbing baby seals the first few weeks of the season, but that's not how Coach Sigler does things. Starting the year off with 3 state ranked 5A teams was always going to be tough. It looks like #20 for Silsbee had a pretty big growth spurt. Hopefully he can develop into a solid player and we can use him when Rice and Boulwen aren't on the floor.

This game reminded me of the first game against West Brook last year. WAY too sloppy and too many turnovers. Our little shooting guards gave us a chance in the first half. We'll be fine by the time district gets here, so I'm not really worried.

We had two really good 3-point shooters playing in the 2nd quarter that gave us that halftime lead. Maybe we should go back to that.

Arline has played really well for Silsbee tonight.

Dunk count 1 - 0 Silsbee.

I don't think any Silsbee people on here are picking Silsbee to win.

I'd like to be a homer and say Silsbee, but lets be real here. We'll see just how good the Tiger offensive line is in this one. Bellville - 42 Tigers - 21 I don't think it will be as bad as last year.

60 - 55

Silsbee had a bad second quarter. I'm not sure if they can overcome that or not. Either way, I wouldn't put too much stock in any of these early season games for anybody.

Tigers down 15 - 14 after the 1st.

It's a nice thought, but sometimes you just have to let things go. There's no guarantee Silsbee would have beat Dallas Carter, their likely opponents if FF wasn't in the way, in either of those two years. I do think we'd at least get them one time though. Starting with the kids that are in 7th grade right now, Silsbee should have a lot of talent eventually making their way to high school. This years 7th grade class won't be the only one that's loaded either. There will be more on the way behind that if everything works out. Hopefully if the Tigers can make several runs at state in a few years, there won't be some stupid academy school standing in the way.

The Tigers did a good job of making it to a respectable 7-3 record on the year. I figured they'd go 4-6 or 5-5 before the season started. They should be better next year. We get Brookshire Royal in round 1 of the playoffs. I've no idea what to make of this team looking at their record and who they've played. I think if we're healthy, there's a chance we can win. Then it'll be time for the Bellville rematch.

I wish they'd left a few years earlier 🤷‍♂️

Should have ran the ball.
