I expect a very focused and motivated Silsbee team for the game tomorrow. If it ends up being close 🤷‍♂️

Bridge City also put up a good fight the first game against Silsbee. We'll see how the second meeting goes Tuesday. BTW, Tiger 8th grade keeps rolling. Beat Hamshire Fanette 79 - 37, or something like that. A little closer than the BC game. Kids might of had an off night or something.

Silsbee needs to understand they're still gonna get everyone's best effort when they play. Nobody is gonna get hyped up or excited to play and potentially beat Bride City or LCM. Some of these boys did look a little too relaxed during warm ups tonight.

Can I do both? Good job Raiders for playing a hell of a game. Refs were still trash.

Remember last year when Hardin Jefferson almost beat a Silsbee team with Jordyn Adams? That's what this felt like. Remember how that rematch went. I wouldn't overreact to the outcome of this game. Silsbee has beaten teams with big men like LaGrange and Nederland. Even Hamshire Fannett has a decent big. Tigers beat them by 30. Raiders and number 24 had the game of their lives tonight and still lost. It's all good though. Better for teams to keep Silsbee on their toes, no matter who they're playing.

He's pretty good till you make him go to his left. Didn't want the ball then. Dunk count 1 -0 Silsbee. Yes we're gonna count that. Can't wait for the rematch. Best believe Tiger claws and fangs will be extra sharp for it.

Refs are trash.

He's playing now.

He said something to either a ref or a Raider. Not sure which one it was.

Cartwright might be done for the night. We'll see if Coach Sig plays him the second half or not.

Tiger JV wins. 51 - 38.

Haven't had Hamburger Depot in a while. They're definitely better than Burger King. Still more of a Willy Burger or Daddios person if I had to choose. Serious question: Is Bush crazy enough to keep playing basketball in Off Whites? I hope whoever paid for those got them for retail.

On the bright side for the Raiders, they don't have to worry about stopping number 5 (Adams) this year. Should get a healthy dose of Cartwight/Martin though.

Sounds like the Cardinals could use a good 54 - 0 run to get back in it and make it a ballgame. I don't think that's gonna happen.

As I understand it, Lumberton doesn't play very many of their kids. If they let Silsbee control the tempo of the game, that could end very bad for them. Unless those few kids are in really great shape. I'll take the Tigers by 15 - 20 points.

Haven't seen LCM play this year, but they seem to be not bad looking at their record. Tigers need to take it one game at a time. I don't know if Bush will hit 40 + again or not. He has Martin and Cartwright to lean on for offensive help now. Sometimes Gilder is good for about 10 - 12 points a game as well.

Harper bounced right off another Tiger in the air after that last shot. Out of all of our freshman, I think he is currently the most ready. Should be fun to watch next year.

Only real injury I seen tonight was Martin lying on the ground and limping to the back for a few minutes. Yeah... he was pissed at a Hawk taking his time to get off that hurt leg. If he did dish out a kick, it probably wasn't an accident. Calm and cool isn't a strong trait among some of our players.

Think Nederland is the biggest team I've personally seen Silsbee play. They started a 6`8 and two kids around 6`6. We really need to take it one game at a time though. Got to work on those turnovers.

They play really fast was what I heard out of the Yates coaches. But I'm afraid you're right. Yates size would probably kill us.

Not happy we blew a 10 point lead in the fourth quarter. Some of that was HJ, but some of that was also bad Silsbee. Need to clean that up for the next game. Martin went out for a few plays with a leg injury. Soon as he comes back in he gets tangled up with a Hawk, who proceeds to lay on that leg for just a little too long. Neither him nor a few other Silsbee players were happy about that. That's what the main technical fouls were over. Still, our kids need to not give away free points in close games.

Fitting Cartwright made the last shot He had a few bad turnovers in this game. Way to make up for it.

Martin not happy.

One little guy for HJ got some nice hops.

Tiger JV takes it. 48 - 39.
