It doesn't take much for issues to re-surface when it's Silsbee vs WOS or vice versa. I say let the game speak for itself. Hopefully nobody gets jumped.

The Lamarque ISD was shut down & taken over by another school district, Texas City I believe. It is probably hard to field a stable basketball team when the ISD itself is unstable, or non existent.

I work in a dps driver license office. They call it the DMV but we don't do anything with car sales, titles etc. I've seen the ole 'pay em with pennies' trick used once before. It wasn't this large a transaction. It was only $25.00 or so. I am glad it wasn't me who had to deal with that. The vast majority people want to get out of there so they pay in an appropriate manner and leave.

Willie Jones is injured. Where was Michael McCain? Who was the key reserve that didn't play?

My dad is bi-racial. I had a white grandfather. I assume he was white. More than likely he was caucasian, as opposed to being mexican or from some other racial group. I am sure he was not black, for what that's worth. I don't know much about that side of my DNA. All this happened in Bryan, Tx. My mom & my dad divorced when I was about 5. I met him again when i was 25 or so, out in LA, Cali. I met his side of the family when I was about 27 or 28. When I say his side of the family I am talking about my grandmother and her children, my aunts and uncles. I never met this grandmother, so I am a bit more candid than I probably should be. I hardly know this side of my life, unfortunately. Anyway, she had six children. Three were bi racial, three were from black men. Call it what you will, but biologically that is what happened, or so I've been told. If you look at the extended family it is obvious. Once when I was about 28 or so, I was in Bryan attending a funeral for one of my Aunts, who I never got to meet. That was a strange feeling. As we were walking from the grave site, one of the Aunts who I had met said to me "Darryl, look at me". And I did. She looked just like my dad, who had passed away by this time. That was her way of telling me that she & my dad not only had the same mother, they had the same biological father as well. Race, sex & ethnicity in America, especially in the South. It is a deep subject. Side note: quite a few of my relatives in Bryan are resonably doing good. Several of them, both the light skinned and the darker ones, are college graduates. Some of them went to Prairie View, some to Sam Hous st, UH UT, but none chose to attend Tx A&M. I am not sure why that is. Not trying to throw shade at A&M but that is what happened. I need to end this.

I've seen where LCM has made some noise in the games & tournaments they've played in. Silsbee should win. Keep the injuries to a minimal. Hopefully the tigers will have some playoff games in the greater Houston area that I can attend.

Being ranked # 1 after the championship game is all that counts. I think, at least I hope, Silsbee the team, is in a good place with their # 1 ranking. It is an honor, but it is not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal of course is winning state. So far this season they have played a lot of strong teams, and held their own. They met D Lincoln on the court and won, so they know it can be done. They will probably meet Yates and hopefully can handle them as well. Time will tell. They have played at least three teams with good height, as in a 6'9" post in the middle. So running into a team with that kind of height in the playoffs should not rattle them. They got past the semi final game at the state tournament, finally. I am not taking getting to that level lightly, but it is a step that should happen. They came within 3 pts on winning the championship. But...there's a lot of basketball to be played. I am getting ahead of myself.

The Silsbee Tigers usually play one or two playoff games in the greater Houston area. I usually make it to one of those games. That is probably what will happen this year.

My name is confusing because people think I am a Kountze fan, but I am really a Silsbee fan. I was born in Kountze, but that is about it. I grew up and I am attached to Silsbee. I may change it one day, then again maybe not. It is just a message board name.

Oh well, so much for the idea of leaving Houston after work tomorrow, and jumping on I-10 and making it to the game.

start time?

I'm not trying to tell Coach Sigler how to do his job, but hopefully Michael McCain gets back on the court soon.

barring the unforeseen the next big game will be Yates.

Interracial couples easier on the eyes than gay couples.

Yes. I've said this often.

He didn't take any shots?

Is Chism from near Keene Tx, just outside Fort Worth?

My leader is Jesus Christ. Next my pastor and other thought leaders in my religious movement.

Rev 13: 11.

Prophecy states, if you know where to find it, that the united states will repudiate every aspect us constitution It is happening right now.

Silsbee is a talented team. They have a rare opportunity to do something very special this season. Still, this team has a lot of negatives, like poor free throw shooting, streaky outside shooting, allowing circumstances & the refs to take you out of the game, etc. They should be able to handle district. Still they have to play the games. In the playoffs though, if one or more of those negatives show up in the game, and their opponent is motivated & gets on a roll, they can get sent home. Hopefully this doesn't happen.

i agree.

The principal that has made America great is not conservativism, but it is the separation of church and state. The conservative religious right is trying to tear down the wall of separation between church and state. The result will be tyranny and persecution.

The two early techs on M MCCain could be somehow related to the goaltending call in Silsbee. Can't prove it. Refs network like everybody else.

I don't think so. I don't hate muslims. I just don't believe like they do. Besides, there are various types of muslims. There are shiites, and sunnis. Orthodox and nation of islam. I have talked to orthodox african american muslims that don't care too much for Farrakhan. Black people disagree on this and that all the time. As mentioned we are not monolithic in thinking. No one else is either. Who really knows what the top 1 percenters and large corporations do with their money?
