I have to say, I wasn’t there last night but I have heard a couple opinions that Center is better than Yates. Not my words but coming from some who have seen both.

I wouldn’t necessarily say a 2 pt win at home makes you a favorite....especially in b-ball. Center beat us last night and could again but like I said it’s not a big worry for us at this point. It will probably be a bigger plus for us in the long run. A reason to regroup and refocus. And yes we have had that core group has been on the court but it’s no secret we rely greTly on our depth. I was told a few years Ago that Coach feels it takes About 30 days for our players to really get into b-ball shape, which will put us really after the first of the year with the holidays. Then we will see the real Tigers.

Yes on both accounts. No excuse we lost. Probably needed a reset right now. But you won’t see this team at its top form until after the new year. I have said that from the beginning.

My thoughts exactly. Losing a 2 pt road game to a good team at this point means very little to Silsbee, not that we want to lose any. Now on the opposite side this win may mean a whole lot to Center. Could be a strong learning point or even rally cry for my Tigers. I have been saying since day one, you won’t see this Tiger team at full throttle until after the first of the year. As far as us being basketball gods, no anyone can be beat on any night. It’s how you respond when it happens that makes you Champions!

Turnover cost us a chance to score at the end.

9 secs left

I just caught a live feed that looked like we had the ball called timeout on our side of the court trailing 76-74 with 4 secs left. But tough to see.

Where you seeing this at?

Who?

Always in our prayers but I was wandering if something new was going on other than what you had posted a while back. Nothing wrong with any prayer requests ever just had alarmed some of us I think.

Wasn’t doubting that at all, that what I was stating, we are still in school not out until Friday so I should have realized that sooner than I did.

Those factors may well keep it close to that margin. Not sure it would stay that close without them though.

I had seen this conflict on the schedules earlier in the year. Noticed The one was changed to 7:30 the other day. It wasn’t until today, even with a child in school, that I realized Silsbee is still in school so it has to be 7:30.

Lady Tigers won 90-25.

Was not expecting a close game but Cleveland with only 8 players...................

Looks like that game will be at 7:30. Either I misread a schedule twice or the school has changed the time.

I think they had one called back that might have been it. Either way I didn’t see the large number of Henderson players that I read about, it didn’t really look as bad as what I read.

We have all known barring any big surprise this year that this region should come down to Silsbee and Yates and we aren’t rated 1 and 2 for nothing. What I am trying to figure out is why a loss to a 6A North Shore has caused all this talking. All year I have seen comments on how PA Memorial is the top team in the area or at least right there with is. North Shore beat them by 19 the game before they beat us. Maybe there is something I don’t know but just maybe that isn’t as bad a loss as some are trying to make it.

Haven’t found any but it sounded big.

Were you there?

And yes I read thru the whole game and no mention of anything else.

Ok was wandering about the leaving the “bench” part.

That may be the case but I would double check. Our schedule on the school website shows all three games but starting at 2.

I am not worried about my Tigers at this point. I know we are still looking to find out who is going to fill the roles of those graduates. Although they all had there roles and did great at them, the one we just don’t have is someone to take Jones place size wise down low giving us that second low guy with Barnes. Devon is probably pretty close in that size part but not sure you can put him down there all the time. Now I hate to say it but that Dallas Lincoln team is playing a schedule that is right up there with ours, possibly even tougher.

Don’t drive up there for an evening game if you consider evening after 5, at least by the schedule it’s at 4:30 As one of those holiday afternoon games.
