This sucks, I hate that we lost and I already miss Tiger bball!!

They have some much quickness and that 11 player sub system is hard for a team to play with. The Kountze and HJ players were sucking wind late in these games. If we can get Sealy to run with them, look for Silsbee to roll. [/quote] I can think of at least 2-3 teams that might have something to say about that!!!! [/quote] Just for the record......Sealy was not one of the teams I was thinking about!!!  Still in shock this morning!!! [/quote] Me too! Just a tough night, and all I said looked sad in warmups was our outside shooting and it stayed that way all night.

Congratulations HJ and good luck.  Tough night for us Tiger fans,  I guess I will have to pull for you the rest of the way, although it I don't know if I can handle having to listen to a couple of you! :) :) (They know who they are!!!)

First off congrats to Sealy, they came out and took it to the Tigers.  I am with WOSgrad, I think Coach Williams not being able to come out the second half did have some effect on the Tigers but not as big of an effect  as Sealy's play did.  The length Sealy had was a big difference.  The Tigers did press Sealy but other than the first few minutes Sealy handled it quite well.  They used their height to counteract the press often and just plain out beat it at others.  Sealy was the one playing the in your face defense for the most part tonight, not full court but in the half court.  We had a hard time getting off shots a good portion of the night.  Seals-Jones had a big night but it was his teammates that beat us.  We only hit 2 3's both by Dante Wilson.  The Tigers didn't look good from the outside in warmups and when you put the bigger Sealy players in front of them it just got worse. We also missed several inside shots that weren't contested in a way we weren't used to seeing(what I mean is no big guys up above us).  we didn't get to rotate our players like we normally do,  I believe because of our lack of size on the bench.  Just not enough height to get the rebounds.  Meanwhile Sealy did a real good job keeping their players fresh.  It looked like we were the tired ones towards the end.  DC was a little limited in the third trying to keep from picking up another foul. We seemed to let the pressure of the situation get to us when we started to fall behind and looked unsure of ourselves at times and were careless with the ball at others.  I can say the ball seemed to bounce Sealy's way tonight.  They had players at the right place at the right times.  Many loose balls seemed to go right to them.  I am not sure if it was a coaching move or just how it worked out but several times we knocked the ball out of their guards hands towards our goal,  they had a player trailing to pick it up.  We also had a few defensive letdowns and let players get behind us a few times in the second half.   Sealy played great team ball and seemed to know right where their teammates were whenever they got into trouble.  Congratulations to my Tigers.I doubt many people expected you to have as great a season as you did.  Hold your heads up ,  we Tiger fans are proud of you.  The most important thing tonight however is for Coach Williams to get healthy and hopefully be able to lead the Tigers back to the playoffs next year.

Height has killed the Tigers tonight.As well as a poor shooting night.Missing even the easy ones that weren't really contested. proud of my Tigers just a tough night. sealy has played a great game. Seemed at times the ball just bounced their way and at others they simply had people in all the right places.

All any of us can hope in this matter is that the truth comes out.  Whether the accusations are true or false,  the quilty parties need to face justice,  be it the accused or the accusers.

Wow! I said it before and i will say it again, I hope for all involved the truth comes out where the guilty parties can get what they deserve.

[quote name="stevenash" post="971559" timestamp="1298569866"] How do we know for a "fact" that there was a 40 mile rule? [/quote] Never said I knew for a fact. I said if the rumor was true. But I heard on two separate occasions that the game was set up.then i was told the reason for it not ti happen.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="971297" timestamp="1298522173"] The most talented team ever at Silsbee was the '98 team, but they were clearly not the most successful. I guess it all depends on how you define "best". [/quote] Definately!! Thats why this question can't be answered yet.

I think the the team that went to state in '83, I believe,  was pretty loaded.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="971283" timestamp="1298520957"] According to the UIL website and the brackets they have posted, all regional quarterfinal games are to be played on March 2nd or 3rd, which is Wed. and Thurs. of next week. Regional tourneys are March 4th and 5th. I have no idea why UIL has the dates this way. [/quote] Could be a misprint but wasn't there test days the week of regionals last year?

[/quote] Exactly!!  If I find out that this rumor is true,  I will have lost all respect for one or two people,  if there is  a better reason then I guess its just a tough situation.

[/quote] They wanted a tougher opponent but were told they could not travel outside of Harding County ... [/quote] Since this has been stated, I will say that I had heard a game with a much stronger opponent had been set up but had to be dropped for this reason. And on top of that if that rumor was true, the trip was not even an hour away.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="970529" timestamp="1298430703"] If Silsbee beats Sealy, will they get upset by Cold Springs? Your thoughts. Seems like they have one heck of a team this year. Have you seen them play? [/quote] You should know the answer to this.  You were there on the sidelines with your pocket protector full of pencils when a 31-0 Tiger team was upset in the first round.  So yes Coldsping could upset the Tigers,  but will they should be a completely different matter.  If this Tiger team plays up to their potential,  they should make it back to Austin.  If they play like they did in a few games,  it could be a short playoff run.  If they face HJ  again, they better keep their focus and not get overconfident.  It is always tough to beat a good team 3 times but it wouldn't be the first time the Tigers have done it.  Just ask last years WOS team.
