Somewhere there are archives and microfiche to back me up. I will do some research when I get the chance. I know where I was. I know what game I saw.

I saw one game and it was Silsbee vs PA Lincoln. The game started at 7pm and i made it in time to see the game. I was working the same type of schedule I work now. If that game was played in Beaumont I could not get there on time. I sat in the stands next to Herb Sapp.

Oh yeah, Lincoln won and went on to win state.

1995. Silsbee vs PA Lincoln. The winner went on to state in Austin. They did not have a regional tournament then. I think that came the next year. Silsbee had Damien Bush. I only saw him play one game ever, and this was the game. PA Lincoln had Steve Jackson. It was his junior year. The next year he transferred to Oak Hill Academy. The rest of his career is history, nba history at that. That is the game I saw and attended. Now, maybe they played in Beaumont at the Montagne earlier that season. i don't know. The game I saw was in deer park tx.

I can remember the teams in 71, 72. Great teams. Some of those teams after that I didn't see. This year's team was the first to blow by the state semi final game, with a 40 pt win at that. Therefore this year's team has a legitimate argument for being the best team of all times.

D Lincoln won it all. I refuse to believe those players just happened to grow up in the area of D Lincoln. There was some manipulation somewhere along the line.

That game was played in Deer Park. I was at that game, and I have never seen the Montagne, much less been in it.

I usually watch 1 or 2 Silsbee games a year when they get close to Houston. The season before I didn't see any Silsbee games. Then when this season started & I saw where they were ranked # 1 in 4A I knew I had to see what this is all about. I went to their game in Houston against Bellaire back in November, the day after thanksgiving. Maze & Adams were raining 3s. The last Silsbee team I had seen could not shoot, so I was impressed. Maze hit like 3 3s in a row and took the lead, I said wow, I like that. Then I saw this pt guard, Devon drive down the side of the key like a blur, and put some wicked english on the ball and it curled around the rim three times and went in. I knew then that the ranking was legit. I saw 4 more games during the season. i made a lot of comments. I was really hoping they could win it all. They had a very nice run though. Gonna miss the seniors big time. That's high school basketball though. Sooner or later somebody will step up and make us forget. I still haven't seen the play where Devon got hurt. I am glad to hear his injury was not as bad as it could of been. Easy for me to say. Dude plays with a lot of heart and passion, 100 percent.

D Lincoln was long. They had good guard play. They understood how to play defense at state, with the setting up for the charges. They had good defensive rotation. They stepped out and defensed the 3. Still, Silsbee is not far behind them. DISD teams are used to being in state. Silsbee got hyped by the moment.

I turned it off. I didn't know it was that serious.

I hope Devon is okay. Welp. Great season Silsbee. A very deep bench & what other attributes you rely on mean nothing if the other team has you convinced that you can't beat them. Time to fall back on my favorite rationale: it's only sports, it's only basketball. Next season.

No updates? That's a bad sign. Fox sports has some jacked up apps.

tru dat

Sometimes you can't drive to the hoop That's when a nice pull up shot would come in handy.

I don't know about their bench, but their core players are just as fast and athletic as Silsbee.

I got the game on but I can't stand to watch..

The people who rented hotel rooms in SA thursday thru saturday are getting their monies worth.

My first and only trip to Austin was in '72. It was at the old gregory gym. i think that was the name of the place. Silsbee lost a semi final game to Odessa Ector.

The dust settles and it would have to be a Dallas team left to play in the finals. By hook, by crook or just sheer luck and talent those teams always hang around. I've been watching D Lincoln, so to speak, as best I could. They are a formidable team. They emerged from their tough district, tough non district region. They dusted off Paris twice this season, once by 10 points. They slayed the dragon that was La Marque. But this is a special Silsbee team. This is a team with a monkey on its back. The Tigers want that ultimate recognition, that state title. Silsbee runs at least 10 deep. Some say more. I am up here in Arlington visiting the folks. They want to go to a restaurant tomorrow eve. I am trying to steer that idea toward toward ordering out and watching the game at bruh in law's house. They don't feel the passion like I do. It's a Silsbee thang. Hopefully I can convince them. Go Silsbee. Lets do this.

Sam Houston has been my second favorite team this season, although i regret never going to seem them play. They had a great season.

HISD was planning to close Sam Houston HS. Alumni & the community were against that. So, to keep the school open they revamped their cirriculum, and they became Houston Math Science & Technology.

Finally over the hump. Silsbee won the state semi final game. The window of opportunity is open. Might as well win it all.

bump.

I got the audio on from here, and watching the video stream from NFHS.

Take notes Silsbee.
