Tigers94

Silsbee plays teams like West Brook and United (sometimes more than once) early in the year, every year, knowing they're going to lose way more often than not. We don't just decided to call them up for a game when we've got a good team. If Kountze wants to play, then lets make it a yearly ordeal. It could be a fun event. I'm not sure what the Lions have coming up in the lower ranks, so this may or may not be a good match up past this season.

Silsbee has shot the ball really well the past two games. They went 40% from the 3 point line against Vidor and 37% against Lumberton. If they get knocked out of the playoffs, it'll be because they tossed up a bunch of bricks.

Some stats: Payton Jones: 36pts, 4 assists, 2 steals Troy Rice: 15pts, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals Quinton Shoulders: 10pts, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block Jacaleb Johnson: 10 assists, 8pts

That may have been Payton's first dunk in a game.

Vidor played well for about the first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter. If they could do that for an entire game, they'd be alright. They did manage to beat La Marque twice according to their schedule. Silsbee used more of their roster tonight, which made it easier for them to press and play defense the way they wanted to. It was hard to do that early in the season when they were only using 6 or 7 players. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Silsbee has played good defense so far tonight. Vidor isn't handling it well at all. Dunk count 1 - 0 Tigers.

Silsbee won 78 - 53.

I watched the second half of this one. I don't know if #30 for Kountze is that good, or if East Chambers is that bad on the inside. He was doing whatever he wanted. They had better. They lose a ton of kids to graduation this year. I don't know what they look like at the lower levels.

He played last year for Silsbee in the playoffs, albeit not as much as he wanted. I know he played in the Booker T game. He got mixed up in a little trouble last year, which is why his season was delayed. Year before that is when he had to play JV because of transfer rules. He'll definitely help, although Silsbee will still be pretty down compared to last season. That's just the reality Tiger fans will have to learn to accept. You don't just lose a Harris/Miller/Bottley and keep things rolling like nothing has changed.

Lord how mercy. Draymond can't make it back soon enough. Seven more days till we're at full power. What this team needs more than anything is consistency.

Not exactly sure, but that sounds about right. #20 for Silsbee is Cartwright. Only place I know of is team stats are given after the highlights on Max Preps or Hudl. Not sure about individual numbers About those team stats: Rebounds: Silsbee - 30 Hitchcock - 37 Assist: Silsbee - 8 Hitchcock - 12 Steals - Silsbee - 15 Hitchcock - 3 Blocks - Silsbee - 0 Hitchcock - 2 FG% Silsbee - 44% Hitchcock - 47% 3PT% Silsbee - 18% Hitchcock - 40% (Silsbee really didn't take many 3s compared to how many they usually take) FT% Silsbee - 69% Hitchcock - 64% As you can clearly see, turnovers killed Hitchcock. If they can take care of the ball better and use their size to their advantage against other 3A squads, they'll be alright.

I saw where Boulwen had 18 points and 12 rebounds and Rice had 24 points and 12 rebounds. I still hold my breath anytime they put the ball on the floor though. I think Gaines for Silsbee can give us some good minutes. He's really quick and has good ball handling skills

He did okay. I honestly wonder why he didn't attack the basket more and play down low. The way this game was being called, he probably could have gotten 20 free throw attempts.

Both of these teams are a little rough around the edges. This is a game that needed to happen last year. Silsbee will get a starter back on the 14th. Hopefully that'll help some.

Has there been 50 fouls called? It felt like it. Silsbee just kept pounding the ball inside for much of the first half. Hitchcock finally put a kid in there who could do something to defend it right before the halftime.

JV just started the 3rd quarter. Silsbee only has about 12 kids between their freshman and JV teams. What in the world is going on? Are grades that bad? Even some kids are missing on varsity that were there.

96 - 32 was the final.

What happened to the big tight end that played center for Jasper? He's not playing basketball this year? They'd only be losing by 25 or 30 if he were playing. Silsbee needs to rest their starters for Hitchcock tomorrow.

It feels like torture having to watch Jasper try and play basketball.

Hudl should have it. [Hidden Content]

McCain should perhaps get a mention just for the way he played in the Dallas Carter game. Looks like Silsbee might be without their freshman PG for a bit. Hope it's nothing serious.

Not sure if I want to go to the Hitchcock game or Jasper or both. Silsbee should slay Jasper, but I'd like to get a good eye on the Tiger freshman and JV squads, which I assume will also be playing. Like Silsbee, Hitchcock was missing key players early on to football. I wouldn't put too much weight behind their early losses. Also like Silsbee, they seem to be having some problems with injuries and are struggling more than you might expect. They're almost like a 3A version of us right now. I'd say it's a coin toss, but I'll favor the Tigers if they all show up and play well.

Silsbee ends the tournament at 0 - 4. Klein Oak - 59 Silsbee - 52 I think we play Hitchcock next Saturday. Can't wait to see how that one goes.
