I was concerned about playing Yates. i am glad the game broke like it did. I think this game against Somerset will be interesting, but you never know. My bruh in law is a Dallas Carter alum. He didn't even know they were in the playoffs. D Lincoln is usually the basketball power in that district, 10 4A region II I think. they were talking about going the the games in SA but he is driving down to Beaumont to pick his his daughter for spring break. She's a freshman at Lamar U. They call Beaumont a lil country town. Here lately they spend more time in Beaumont than I do.

That 6'10" guy is 185 lbs. They have a 6'2" guy who supposedly has good handles. Slowing him down in crucial IMO. If he is allowed to casually come down court & feed that big guy down low, they will score a lot of points that way. Maybe the refs put some folks in foul trouble. It could get ugly. Somerset also has a big, strong four who can shoot from outside. JImThorpe is right. Silsbee is weak in the middle. K Barnes can really get up, but you can only count on that so much. If #23, Mitch, had any kind of post up game, Yates could of slowed it down and made it very interesting. They didn't and that's history. The big guy for Somerset has post up moves and a jumper from outside. I'll let coach Sigler worry about all that. I am sure he is working on something.

The official title of the son is Life Every Voice and Sing. Someone came along and gave it the sub title The Negro National Anthem. To me it is just a positive, uplifting song. I don't feel any less american after I've heard it sung. As for the song being sung at NBA game, probably at the all star game, I didn't know about that. I can't remember the last time I actually watched the NBA all star game.

If Yates won we would of never heard the end of it.

Somerset has a 6'2" pg with good handles, Isaiah Rivera. He didn't play last year against Brazosport because he had a broken leg. If he had played it might of made a big difference. Him, that 6'10" center and that 6'5" forward. Those are the ones Silsbee has to lookout for.

What 'work' are you talking about? If I took the time to sample your posts would it show?

I never heard of Somerset until they upset Brazosport. I don't think anyone was paying much attention to them, up until now. As much as I can tell from looking around on the internet that's a dangerous team. They got a 6'10" post who is good at close range. He can also hit from outside. They have a 6'1 pg, Isaiah Rivera, who has decent handles. Not sure how good he can shoot. Then they got a 6'4 forward, who i think is also their football QB. Silsbee will probably have to pressure their guards but not get in foul trouble. Hopefully the refs won't call it too tight. Try to get them to run. Are they (somerset) as good as Argyle at slowing it down? I doubt it. But then Argyle didn't have a 6'10" center.

SportsJunkie is cool. Bayou City 713 is too, but he knows how to work a nerve, lol. Two places I know well are Silsbee & Houston. I understand the culture as do a lot of people. It all makes it interesting.

UIL & max sports said we play Seminole next.

As I've mentioned I watched Yates play Houston Christian at a tournament back in December. HC won by 9 or 10 pts. Three things I noticed during that game. Mitch, # 23?, kept going for the sensational play, the sensational dunk. He is 6'7" and very athletic, but in the course of a good game a player like that has to stay in flow of the game and if a good dunk or block comes his way then make it happen. I also noticed he did not have a go to move that could be relied on to score points, other than the dunk. Mind you, I'm no expert. I also noticed that Yates pressed and had a deep bench. Sahvir Wheeler and Miller Koop exploited that defense for quite a few back door points. Coach Wise was substittuting at will. He had like 17 players on the team. The refs were letting them play and i posted here, it's in the archives, that HC pg Sahvir Wheeler was getting mugged. I made a mental note to myself that the refs in the playoffs would probably call a tighter game, and in this game played today, the refs did call it closer. It made a big difference. They called the other game between Cy Falls and SA Wagner the same way. I thought for a moment or two a fight was going to break out in that particular game. Just the same, I tip my hat to all the Yates team, and to Coach Wise. Respect.

I think you are right.

Was there almost a fight?

As already stated, celebrate now then back to business.

Yep you said that, early in the season.

Great season Yates.

Lincoln beat Carter twice this season. It is hard to beat the same team three times in a row in a season.

John 14:1-3 King James Version (KJV) 14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

They don't matter that much to me. I can't answer for everyone else.

We sing "lift every voice" at my church. I love that song. It is usually during February, but it sounds good anytime. I go to church; I seldom attend nba games in person. I can't afford the tickets. Hyphenated, un hyphenated it doesn't matter. America is not going to be here forever. Citizenship in heaven will be forever. Stuff that is so important now will be gone and forgotten. The sea beast and the land beast of rev 13 will be burned up, ashes, in the lake of fire. So will this msg board.

Yates looks like the team to win it all, but you still have to play the game. Silsbee just might surprise me. I don't have any money bet. At the end of the day it is still just fun and games, or a game called basketball.

Time to find out about Waco Connolly Friday at 8pm. Then deal with whatever after that.

I was at that game.

That was at a tournament in North Texas, maybe Fort Worth. I think Liberty Hill had some height that season.

Waxahachie fell. Defending 5A champ Mansfield Timberview is gone as well. Who else is left?
