He hurt himself at the end of the Orangefield game. He hasn't been the same since. Certainly didn't look like himself against Lumberton Tuesday.

It should be noted this ain't the same WO-S you've seen Yates slaughter by a million points in the playoffs before. They've got size and athleticism and a good coach now that doesn't scream like a psychopath at the players the entire game, although the current guy is pretty funny. They're not bad this year.

Unfortunately that's gonna be hard to do as long as Faith Family is doing their thing 😞

Well at least we won the dunk count 🙂 I don't think I ever seen a Raider attempt a dunk in a game, at least not against us. They got a kid that puts on a pretty good show in warmups, but I don't think they let him play. I really don't believe Silsbee is gonna beat Lumberton by 40 - 50 points next year either. This is new Lumberton with a good coach and kids that play hard for him. I know we've got decades of mental conditioning to overcome when it comes to this, so it can be pretty hard to do.

The Lumberton that played tonight could make some noise in the playoffs. Three rounds deep or more would not surprise me. Question is will that Lumberton show up. Silsbee has got to get this rebounding thing figured out. Even with as bad as we shot the ball, if we could have at least broke even in that department tonight we would have had a chance. Help will be on the way, but I guess it is what it is for this year.

So when was the last time Lumberton beat Silsbee in a district game?

Actually this was always supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Tigers. We've lost a ton of great athletes over these past few years. So this is "bad Silsbee" by our standards. Not many teams in this area besides United can lose what we've lost and still be able to compete like we do.

Can't buy a basket tonight to save our lives. Better not have that typical bad Tiger 3rd quarter tonight.

Tiger freshman win 62 - 39.

Tuesday will be the last chance for Lumberton to get a win over Silsbee for probably a very long time. Not unless they've got a bunch of freak athletes they're secretly keeping hidden from everyone right now. McClure needs to assert himself from the get go and the Raiders need to jump out to an early lead against the Tigers. If they can do that and control the tempo of the game, then they'll have a shot. If Silsbee jumps on them early and they get frustrated, it could be a long night for them.

Miller finished with 31. Nearly half the points scored.

Bad news for the Birds when those 3s stop falling like they were earlier. Hard to shoot like that for 4 quarters.

BC falling apart in the 4th.

He did get one chip out of the family when Silsbee won their first title. Of course one or two more certainly wouldn't hurt anything.

I thought the younger Jones kid was a few years away from high school? We are talking about Peyton, right?

They did, but they had some really good seniors on the way out to help carry the load. I really think Harris will be that big time player, especially if he grows a little more. Looking at the gene pool, there's no reason to think he won't.

How many more move ins has Lancaster gotten since the season started? Their roster last year was ridiculous. Can't even pretend that was all the same neighborhood with a straight face. I hope United puts a hurting on them and brings home a title though. Silsbee has the talent to compete with most teams in the region. Problem is they can also have some really off nights. It's mainly dumb turnovers right now that needs to be cleaned up. That could cost us a game against another experienced and good team. I don't know about East Chambers. Who have they played and beaten that's good this year? I guess we'll see.

I'm just happy we've managed to have a season at all this year. I'm sure things being a little off do to covid has something to do with it. Silsbee fans are usually pretty active here, but we kinda stay a bit quieter when we feel like we're alone. Some teams not being district rivals anymore doesn't help either.

Game can be seen here. Hope Gilder is gonna be okay. Not sure the details on his injury that happened towards the end of the game.

Jared Harris went for 31 points tonight ✊

None unless you're counting warmups. No Baltrip tonight (no senior Baltrip anyways) really narrowed our options for this game.

Trey Haynes. That's who I was forgetting. So that makes half the team (7 Kids) that was missing for the game tonight. Our kids who normally sit on the bench did exactly what we needed them to do. I think Weiss and Harris III both chipped in around a much needed 10 points. I'm not sure who's gonna be more scary in the coming years. Harris or Miller. I'm really leaning towards Harris at the moment. It's a nice problem to have.

Stall ball lol. Whatever gets the job done.

Big brother Harris puting in some work tonight.

Stop letting #1 for OF shoot the ball!
