Tigers94

Carthage have a bunch of 300+ pound lineman running up and down the floor? Be crazy if they keep on winning. Might be the start of something for their b-ball program.

Start on MLK off 5th street and go all the way down to where it comes out on 327. That's more than half of Silsbee right there. Some of those kids aren't that far from Kountze if you go far enough. Don't feel bad at all if a Lion ends up in a Tiger uniform. Some of our players have ended up there when they were killing it.

I recall some people on here mentioning discipline issues and kids quitting/getting kicked off the team in the not-so-distant past. They got a good bunch of 8th graders, as has been mentioned. It wouldn't make sense for too many of them to wind up in Silsbee next year. Playing time would be hard to come by, as Silsbee should have around a half dozen of their own kids ready to move up to varsity next year.

What's funny is both Miller and Harris were pretty good free throw shooters during the regular season. Don't know what happened 🤷‍♂️ I think I saw somewhere that Harris was averaging 22ppg in the playoffs so far.

Tigers by 4. Obviously I'm biased, but as long as bad Silsbee doesn't rear its ugly head, we got a good chance.

BU by 25. Part of me thinks if you made this far it has to be for a reason, so maybe it'll be closer than that. Of course sometimes that reason is you had an easier path also.

Manvel has never gotten over the choke job they did in football to Jerry Jones son a few years back. They're mentally scared for life.

Kids have done a lot of growing up these past few games. I predicted 3 rounds this year maybe. Was worried we wouldn't get that far considering who opponent number 2 was. Some people didn't think we'd beat Hamshire Fannett. Anything beyond this is just gravy. Although I would find it amusing if we managed to get a game with Stafford this year after all.

Once again Silsbee had 3 freshman finish out most of the 4th. I believe Bottley had three 3 pointers in the game. Game against Connally is gonna be on Tuesday at Madisonville HS at 7pm.

Waco Connally is always tough. They gave one of those championship Silsbee teams all they wanted one year.

Kid wanted to fight, he should have done it with his play. Go sit down lol.

Yeah, I think I'd root for this team if they weren't playing us. Kinda sad when you're shocked by another team showing sportsmanship though.

Way to hang in there. 64 - 55 Final. Now go and get some good food and lots of rest. They've earned it.

Wow! That's never happened outside practice. First dunk in a game for Gilder, I think.

They tired as hell. Just hang in there, please 🙁

Just gonna have to try and struggle this one out.

32 - 25

29 - 22 Just get the win. Don't care how close or ugly it is.

This camera angle sucks.

22 - 15 End of the 1st.

I swear we're a decent 3 point shooting team as long as we're not playing at home. 18 - 15 Silsbee up

Silsbee had 3 freshman on the count the majority of the 4th quarter when they pulled away. Miller/Bottley/Harris. All three were playing in the big jr high tourney about this same time last year. They showed who they were when Yates got to within 2 points early in the 4th. They probably would have lost a game like this early in the season. These definitely weren't the same Lions from seasons past though. The team that beat Silsbee a few years ago was a good 3 point shooting squad and money from the free throw line. They also didn't turn the ball over that much. I re-watched this game last night, and the big kid was called out as 7 feet tall when they were announcing the starting lineup, btw. He certainly looked the part.

Looks like Texan Live will be doing this game.

Little more detailed stats: Edit: Some Texan Live highlights:

Gonna have to come down off that high from beating Yates real quick. Crazy how close we came to playing Bridge City again.
