I'm glad coach Sigler isn't afraid to take on big teams regardless of what players he has. If we lose we lose. Respect everyone but fear nobody is his mantra. I hope whoever proceeds him in coaching continues this after he retires. They'll probably have their full roster after this week anyways. They just need a little time to gel after that. All that really matters is how Silsbee is playing come playoff time.

Should go either 7 - 2 or 6 - 3 against that bunch.

Losing to Clear Lake and Sam Houston is nothing to be worried about. These games don't matter, although I can understand always wanting to win. Tough competition is good for these kids. They need to know that, no matter how good you think you are, you can be beaten. There's always work to be done. It's better than them beating up on cream puffs to feel better about themselves.

A 39 - 39 score in double OT? Good God. Silsbee needs to play it smart this year. Don't let other teams in district provoke them into doing anything stupid.

Didn't Miller Kopp and Braylon play together for the Houston Defenders? That may have something to do with it, as I'm sure Braylon and him play very well together. He might want to make a run for a state title before his high school days are over. He'd get plenty of playing time here. Silsbee ain't gonna be as deep next year, I don't think. He'd also likely be the only true big we have. I wouldn't get my hopes up for this happening, but if it does, that's very bad news for every other 4A team in the state.

I'm not saying Silsbee would win, but I don't think it would be a blowout. They gave Wagner (6A state runner ups) all they wanted last year. Terribly over matched is a bit of an overstatement. They only lost to one team by double digits last year, and that was mainly because they couldn't make a 3 to save their lives in the second half. They actually outplayed Skyline in the first half. No idea why they stopped taking it to the hoop against them. and Silsbee has beaten top ranked teams in higher classifications in the past. They be a really good North Shore team one year. Unfortunately that was the Chapel Hill year.

Doesn't Cy Falls return all of their starters? I was really impressed with how they handled Wagner after the first quarter last year. Silsbee would need to shoot lights out from the 3 point line to have a good chance.They went ice cold against Skyline in the second half last year and lost by double digits. I think they could put up a good fight and make them sweat a little, but then come up short of a win, especially with them probably not being as deep next year. One thing I love about coach Sigler is he ain't afraid to play anyone. ,

Any screw ups next season and all the hard work these kids are putting in right now will be for nothing. Coach Sigler needs to get that message drilled into everyone's heads. Even when these kids are provoked (and they will be) they have to to let it go. Let the coach step in and deal with things. They're gonna have a bigger target than ever on their backs next year. A social media black out would be nice. This is really a local district issue. Next to no teams in the Tigers district are saints. You hardly (if ever) hear any of the teams from the Houston, Dallas or non-local areas having an issue with Silsbee. They spend nearly their entire pre-district schedule playing those teams, and then mainly play them come playoff time.

Wiley Webster was probably on the power lifting teams that won state. Maybe his brother as well.

Jones bloodline usually tops out at about 6'5". Most kids don't finish growing till their sophomore year. Willie Jones III looks taller than 6'4" to me. It could be the haircut, I guess.

Silsbee supposedly has a kid who was already dunking in game at the 8th grade level. I didn't watch any of those games. I don't know how tall or who the player is. I'd expect a growth spurt for all the freshman on the team, except for maybe Braylon. I don't think he'll shoot up too much more, not that it matters.

Yeah, it's all state for the tournament. The original post on Twitter I read that from had it wrong.

Chris Rossow, Jordyn Adams, Willie Jones, Braylon Bush, and Nathan Priddy are the first team all state.

I expect Chris Martin to play more of a role next year. Having Devin back will make up for losing Jones. Man I wish we'd had him for four years. Losing Newton and Harris is gonna hurt, no doubt about that. Hopefully we get one or two up from next year's freshman class to play a big role like Braylon did this year. Maybe a move in here or there as well. Silsbee has traditionally been more of a medium sized team. Lots of guys in the 6'2" - 6'4" range. They've had one 6'10" player (Eddie Fobbs) which is the tallest they've ever had, I think. They've also had a handful of 6'6" players on their past rosters at the same time. None of that size won them a ring. I'm sure Yates is gonna be looking for some payback next year. Devon was already promising a repeat next year on his Twitter feed before they won the first ring. Silsbee needs to not get too arrogant. Confidence is fine, but don't get too cocky. I think coach Sig will have them ready.

Build a solid team around Bush, Adams, and McCain. They'll be fine. and don't go punching anyone in the head next year either.

Cy Falls win it. 63 - 57

Clark is a beast. Cy Falls up by 11 now though.

40 - 34 Cy Falls leads

Just watched the Silsbee press conference. Coach Sigler has been coaching for 40 years.

Couldn't be happier for coach Sigler and these kids. So many years of being so close but not quite. Finally!!!

Common opponents Brazosport: Houston Christian - Lose 74 - 69 Fort Bend Hightower - Win 83 -72 and Win 59 -58 Lamarque - Win 76 - 67 College Park - Lose 93 - 89 Silsbee: Houston Christian - Win 108 - 85 Fort Bend Hightower - Lose 98 - 95 Lamarque - Win 101 - 75 College Park - Lose 100 - 95 Both teams last loss was to College Park. The Hightower wins are the only thing Brazosport has going for them over Silsbee, although Silsbee should have really beat Hightower if I remember right. Hightower got bailed out by a bad foul call.

Kinda doubt it since Central or Ozen ain't playing.

Brazosport is supposed to have a really good PG like Bush. They've got one big (6'8) who I hope is a clumsy slow big. Other than that I don't know much about them. If they try to out Silsbee Silsbee, I like our odds. I just hope we shoot much better tomorrow. Another bad shooting night is the only thing that worries me.

My God....I don't think I ever want to see Argyle again lol.

I'm sure Silsbee would have like to have had Willie Jones III for more than one year. Imagine him on last years team. Whether some people want to believe it or not, it's a Beaumont school that had benefited from Silsbee transfers when it comes to Jones/Bush. I say they owe us a player or two. Any Central/Ozen kids want to come stay with their auntie in Silsbee for a little while lol. You gotta fight fire with fire when it comes to kids transferring/moving in. You don't think nearly all the good Dallas and Houston schools don't do this?
