Clear Springs just needs to make their free throws.

CS up by 6 with 1:25 left.

I think they said Silsbee had 85, but the scoreboard had 81. Not sure. Rice had a nice game after getting pulled early. Came back strong. I've said it before, but he just needs to get better with his hands. Maybe something to work on for his senior year.

85 - 57 is the final.

71 - 43 no defensive effort from Palestine. Definitely pull the starters early tonight just in case it starts to get chippy.

64 - 39 Probably over now.

54 - 39 Nice defense by Rice and Jones. #23 for Palestine built like a house though.

50 - 36 might want to chill with the 3s for a bit.

Jones playing great on defense. 46 - 32

Palestine has made some timely three pointers to keep it to within 10. They really are like a bigger and better version of WOS. Thought this would be a fight like last year's Jacksonville game. It's like those teams from that way all play similar.

26 - 16

Miller passed up an easy layup for a kick out 3 and we missed. A little sloppy. End of 1. Tigers - 20 Palestine - 14

Just realized Palestine is Adrian Peterson's hometown. Definitely some good athletic genes over that way. Glad Texan Live is doing this one. Nobody who has a job they'll be getting off from is gonna feel like trying to make it to Nacogdoches by 6:30 on a Thursday. Hopefully Hamshire Fannett beats Center so we can maybe get another game in the Montange Center. Go Longhorns!

They don't look bad from what little I've seen. I'll take the Tigers by 14. This may play out similar to the Jacksonville game last year.

Dunk count was 4 - 0. Silsbee gets Kilgore or Palestine next. Harris, Miller, Bottley and Rice did most the damage. Jones was off tonight, but that's okay. That's why you have teammates. Would like to see Rice get better with his hands. Still fumbles the ball around a little too much for my taste.

He's had an off game offensively. I think they're just trying to see if he can get something going before he comes out.

70 - 33 About time to pull the starters.

End of 3. Tigers - 62 Hawks - 31 Dunk count 4 - 0.

Bottley with the hot hand tonight. 45 - 22

Halftime Silsbee - 35 HJ - 18 Missed easy shots are killing Silsbee. Hawks offense really struggled in the 2nd half. Dunk count 2 - 0 Tigers.

End of the 1st Tigers - 19 Hawks - 12 HJ not playing bad. Tigers have missed a few easy shots though.

Teams are warming up. Lady Tigers lost by, I think, 13. Was a tale of two halves. Third quarter really did them in 😢

You never want to be overconfident in the playoffs, but the Tigers take this one by 20. I'd be surprised if this turns out like Silsbee's district games. HJ's coach will get everything he can out of his players to make this a ballgame. Tigers probably go 1-1 on the night. Would like to be wrong about that though.

Will be a double header at the Montage Center on Tuesday. Time has yet to be decided.

Silsbee girls won. I assume the HJ girls will probably win if they haven't already. A double header is perfectly doable now.
