ST413

You know I kept the books  in high school,  I can understand a possesiob arrow mistake,  but a mistake with the fouls shouldn't happen. Play is stopped and the ref  walks over and gives you the number.  If you didn't get it or are confused you blow t he horn and get them back over to the table and ask them.

And the ones that played played well.  Like I said earlier some haven't quite found their shot yet and their timing on rotating ack on defense wasn't there yet. But it will be.

They even cost their team the possesion to start the second quarter. Lee won the tip, there was one jump ball in the first yet the Tigers got the ball top start the second.  You could hear the timekeeper saying she forgot to change it all the way across the gym but it was too late.

Definitely, it was horrible last night.

I agree, I was not expecting Lee to play as well as they did. Congratulations to them on  win the win. I do feel that if the Tigers would have played better we wouldn't even be having a discussion though.

But the second was not by any means deserving for Danti!! He did not do anything worthy of that call....I don't care what anyone says but hey a win is a win and a loss is a loss! I'm still however very excited about this years team and their chances! [/quote] Whether or not 'he deserved it' really isnt the point.  His team had just battled back to take a lead late in the game. He already had one T on the game, he was not going to get the benefit of the doubt at that point.  You have to keep your mouth shut at that point for the team.  That second T  was the big factor towards the end that cost us the game. If he can't be more of a team player and control his reaction at that point then he doesn't need to be playing.  He can be a huge part of this team but he has to think of the team first.

Definately a bad loss for the Tigers.  Several areas the Tigers could have done better at to win the game.  First make more free throws.  Not sure what the count was but we missed way too many. Second too many easy buckets for Lee.  Tigers going for steal and not rotating back on defense fast enough.  Third too many missed layups and short shots.  Some of these were football players who haven't quite found there shot yet. Fourth and probably the most costly tonight were getting 2 technicals after foul calls. This alone cost us at least 5 or 6 points.  We went up by 2 in the fourth qtr get a foul call and a T,  they make 3 of 4 free throws and score on the possesion putting us back down by 5.  That is innexcusable.  These are all areas the Tigers should have controlled and got the win.  One area not controllable was the foul situation with Jordan Holmes.  He definately didn't have 4 fouls at half time but that is what the official book said.  Therefore he didn't get to play in the second half until about midway through the fourth quarter.  We have to adjust to officials calls.  We had Dante Wilson and Zayon Jackson both foul out fairly early in the fourth.  That was costly. To tell you how bad the book keeping was  when Zayon fouled out he continue to play for a possesion or two before officials were notified that he had fouled out. We also played the last few minutes with 3 or 4 players with 4 fouls which limited that Tiger defense which could have pulled this one out. With that said all of these areas but one are areas that we have to do better.  We will be fine once these players adjust to being back on the court together but just need to work together as a team and improve in these areas.

Wilson gets a foul and his second tech of the game  Tigers trail 70-66

61-59 5:18 left

Bookkeeper is horrible zay fouls continues to play Wilson is fouled goes to line and coach gets told Zay fouled out on the earlier foul

TIgers cut it to 6. Holmes hasn't played at all im second half.  He didnot have 4 fouls callef on him in the first half.  He should have maybe three at the most.  Tigers trail 58,51 after three

Holmes has yet to play this half.  Books say he has 4 fouls which doesn't seemwyq right.

52-44 3:53 left in third delay as refs look at books

#10 for Lee making every three he sees 51-37

Tigers fell behind by as many as 16 before getting a little groove on defense.  If they can get that going in the second half they will be fine.

Tigers on a run 39-31

[quote name="KHSAlum400" post="1349401" timestamp="1354673216"] Looks like it's going to take a while for the Tigers to gel. Could be because they're facing a 5A team on the road also. [/quote] Actually Lee is a 4a team who has only one win. tigers trail 39,25

33-23

Tigers  trail 24,16

Tigers lead 16-10 and watching the speed of this second team all football players,  although a little rusty, all I can say is .....THEY'RE BAAACK!!

Tigers lead 9-8

One of the comments from the announcers in this game sticks with me.  I have heard it somewhere before, where the Tigers lost in the playoffs.  "This was the best game we've played all year."

Yes we lost to them, but not too disappointed in that.  They just got by us without 3/4 of ourvarsity.  I know they are missing 3.  Its ok we may get a chance at them next weekend and if not in a couple of weeks they get to come to Silsbee.    ;D  ;D

Thanks for those comments as well.  Now only if we could meet on the basketball court,  you could really see how that speed canbe used.. :D
