I think it's just really hard to three peat at this level no matter how good you are.

Wow. Didn't think Westlake had it in them.

Westlake up 17 -7 NS had better get it together.

You can also see it on Chap TV. God that's a stupid name, but 🤷‍♂️ [Hidden Content]

To think this will be the weakest Silsbee team anyone will see over the next 3-4 years. Gonna miss our seniors a little more then I initially thought though. I hope we can make it as far as what can be realistically expected for them this year.

Here let me say something nice about Raider basketball. Those other two games Lumberton played Silsbee tonight, they came out and were playing to win. Just a few short years ago, they would of had that deer in headlights look as soon as the ball was tipped off. They played hard tonight and didn't look scared at all, even though they did end up losing by 20 (freshman game). And really I'm starting to think our freshman team could beat the JV one. I really like Coach Mitchell. He was trying get it through his kids head all night to toughen up. Y`all had better hope he sticks around for a while.

McClure was probably 49 out of 50 from the free throw line. He did step it up a bit in the 3rd quarter. Honestly he didn't look like he wanted the ball in the first half, though. That other big kid Lumberton had was going off for a few minutes at first, then disappeared. I was proud of the way we played tonight. Lots of players made big contributions that weren't named Miller or Harris. Two in particular were Lamarcus Bottley (another freshman) and Mason Brisbane. They made big defensive stops to pad that lead going into half time. Trey Haynes stepped up big time in the 4th. Gilder was also big tonight and provided the senior leadership this team sometimes needs. It was a great all around team effort. Really getting sick and tired of people crying about our players. You either need to get tougher, or go watch some other less physical sport. I'm done hearing it. There's teams out there that will do you a lot more "dirty" than Silsbee. What are you gonna do when/if you play one of them? Fold and complain I guess. I sat right behind the Raider bench and Coach Mitchell himself told his kids to stop being soft.

Exactly But somehow we're always the bad guys 🤔

Because Silsbee was playing dirty and the refs weren't calling it obviously 😉

Just slow the game down and we're good. Raider fan just got ejected lol.

Horrible call on Miller.

McClure needs to step up. He ain't done much besides make free throws. That's okay with me if he doesn't though in the second half.

Other big kid for Lumberton is doing more damage than McClure currently.

JV Silsbee - 41 Lumberton - 32 JV Jones for Silsbee played a hell of a game. Kids gonna be good.

Freshman win tonight by 20. Actually a decently close game compared to some of their other ones.

Alright. They're letting people in the right door only. They're also taking everyone's temperatures, so if you got a fever, stay home. Not sure how strict they are with capacities.

I think I'll head out early to see the entire freshman game tonight. Got some good kids with some good size for their ages. I'll post back here if they're letting people in the usual way or not.

No disrespect. Y`all are supposed to win tonight.

This is Raider basketball we're talking about. Let just hope we can keep it competitive for at least the 1st quarter before things get out of hand 😉

Lumberton by 20+ Probably beat us worse than United.

I really hope Silsbee can get this rebounding thing figured out eventually. One of the big areas we need to improve on. Seems like every other game we can't get a rebound to save our lives. There's games where we do well and other games where everyone's flat footed and motionless. It ain't a size thing either. Center had three 6'6 kids and that was probably one of our best rebounding games. I'd pack the paint with Jones and Williams at the same time and see how that works. And I'm assuming protocol for Raider games is about the same as Silsbee. Don't want to get there and be told to go home.

There's an easy formula for frustrating and beating Silsbee this year. Simply get a lead (any kind of lead) then slow the game down and run your half court offense. Only take good shots or attempt lay ups. Take a good minute off the clock each time if you really want to frustrate some Tigers. Run all of this through McClure, and maybe the Raiders will pull this one out. Sounds simple enough in theory. Whether or not Lumberton has the personnel to pull this off remains to be seen. We start two freshman and two sophomores, so we are very young. We also have a lot of improving to do. I hope we approach this game like it's a win or go home playoff game Friday night.

Is it too early for "Silsbee is playing dirty and the refs aren't calling it" post to be made yet?

Drelon Miller had 34 points, 5rbs and 3 steals. He's like James Harden when it comes to getting to the free throw line. Not that exciting, but very effective.

What? How is that even possible? I can't wait to see this in a few weeks lol.
