30 25 Estacado leading.  Estacado can take this game if they want to.

Good game Silsbee Tigers.  I stayed home and listened to it.  I wish I could have seen it.  So close and yet so far.  After last year I wasn't expecting this run, at all.  We gonna miss those Seniors: Hill, Avory, Jones.  The guys will step up in the future, starting next season.  They always do. 

I can't place you Boogy1000.  I want to think you're a young person, but if you know all that stuff, you been around at least a minute.  So much for that. Herb Sapp, Jr?  I didn't know this person existed.  I haven't seen Herb Sr, again, in a minute.  In fact, I think the last time we spoke we were sitting in the stands watching a game that has been mentioned here a few times: Silsbee vs. PA Lincoln & Steve Jackson, back in the day. I just saw someone named Jerry Howard, Jr on facebook.  Both Herb and Jerry Srs. were class of '73.  Ask either one about Michael Dabney, and or David Brown.  They can tell you.

Better to have a team playing in Austin, than to be watching from the sidelines.

That Tiger team peaked too soon.  They were trying to hard to stay undefeated, and stay # 1.  That # 1 ranking is like an albatross around your neck if you don't know how to handle it.  I saw them 2 or 3 times.  They should of played some really good 5a team and lost a few times.  Then build up steam for the playoff run.

I've never been to the 'new' SHS, or any of its facilities.  The only games I've been to in recent years have been playoff games at neutral gyms.

I saw the '72 team play and lose to Odessa Ector.  Ector had a quick point guard who danced to the bucket with all sorts of fancy moves.  The Tigers came apart as a result. The only other time I went was to see the Girls play; I guess against Cleburne.  The girls team was getting all the attention back then.

Prudhome and Sutherland will make noise for HJ next year.

I saw that '95 PA Lincoln team one time.  That was when they beat Silsbee in the Region III championship, 68 to 62.  It was a lot closer than that.  Damien Bush of Sislbee was a Sr.  Steve Jackson was a Jr.  He played for Oak Hill Academy the next year, then on to the NBA.  The rest is history. PA Lincoln put out better teams than that IMO.

I got carried away.

The D Mad players put on their uniforms, and lace up their sneakers just like the Tigers.  Occasionally upsets do happen.  Silsbee can beat Madison.  Why not?  It can happen.  It will happen. 

Wow.  Cool.

What does 413 mean?

[quote name="baseball25" post="772775" timestamp="1267984650"] If nw faces ponder it will be a tough game for them, Ponder very sound and basketall savy, they do the little things, slow tempo type team that slows teams down just like nw. [/quote] I've heard a lot about Ponder.  I know they have been a prominent 2A team for the past few years, maybe longer than that.  So, they are a deliberate, slowdown team?  I figured they were running and pressing.  I have to go see them play one of these days.

Fox sports, or espn hopefully will broadcast this game.

You gotta go through Madison, or a team strong enough to take out Madison.  Either way it won't be easy.

Yep, if a coach can take more than one team to state that is not just luck and talent, that's skill.

The Bush coach, coach Courtney, I think that is his name, isn't he the one who coached at TSU for awhile, and before that at Willowridge during their dynasty run?

When I started this subject I had forgotten all about D. Madison.   gulp.  They can be beaten.  It is mathematically possible, but it won't be easy.  Do your best Tigers. I visit the dfw area, but I am not up there long enough to get the feel of the high school basketball scene.  Same with this place.   I only come around at certain times, and those times ususally coincide with the Tigers having a good season.  That has been quite often here lately.   Before this board I posted on the texas hoops spot, but that place was like the wild, wild west, as in lawless.  It was a good place to guage and know what the high school scene was like in the DFW, and other parts of Texas as well.   No matter what board you visit, there is no substitute for going to the games and seeing for yourself. Bottomline, I forgot all about D Madison.  I remember now though.

I'm talking about the basketball trophy.  I am not trying to turn up the pressure.  It already exists, at least from a fan point of view.  Hopefully the Tigers basketball team doesn't feel it at all.  Stay focused, but stay loose. No one knows - yet, who the other three teams will be.  That will come out later tonight, or tomorrow.  Nor do we yet know what they bring to the table.  So, the question remains: is this the year?  Life in Silsbee will go on regardless.  Still, it sure would be nice if this year's team brought that state basketball trophy home.

The Silsbee Tigers back to the big, big dance in Austin.  Cool. Congratulations to the HJ Hawks.   I saw the Cleveland game.  You have a special basketball program.

Bellaire always puts out a talented, top 5 5A team that never quite makes it all the way, or so it seems.    So, this upset is not all that shocking.

I'd stay.  Too much back and forth driving.  Speaking of driving, my truck has been sputtering here lately.  I've been looking at it on and off, but I am scared to put it on the  highway.  So, I'll be listening to the game  tonight.  It should be a great game. 

So Pinetree, who do y'all do in a situation like this?  Drive back home to Silsbee, then drive back.  Or, stay in Huntsville all day Saturday?

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="771992" timestamp="1267857026"] Same with Silsbee. After losing all their 3 point shooting and their all state point guard, just didn't think Silsbee could make it this far. [/quote] Who was this all state pt guard for Silsbee last year?   I didn't get to see them play last year.  Refresh my memory please. Nevermind, Shannon Robinson.  I forgot all about him.  Where is he these days?
