• I don't remember seeing that one either. LCM would lock the ball up at the scorers table before they give up 100 .LOL

You read my mind.  Barely enough possessions in their games to get half that!

[TxHoops]

I agree. But I do not recall reading any comment about Silsbee scoring 100 points in every district game. Of course that's not saying it isn't somewhere here on the site. Just would like to see some proof of that claim.

BTW, you and I both were at this game and the 100 points could have easily been attainable.

No doubt.  Sigler called off the press and even went to a zone for most of the 4th if memory serves.  I could be incorrect however as the game caused my vision to blur for several hours...

Call me old skool, but I have never been to a Silsbee home game in the new high school.  I haven't been on the campus.  i decline attending Friday night games for religious reasons. I usually don't have the motivation to leave work on a Tuesday then drive to Silsbee for a game.  Either the Tuesday game is probably going to be a blow out, or it is a HJ game and there's a good chance the tickets will be sold out by the time I get there.  I usually catch a tournament or a playoff game within a 60 mile radius (like Huntsville) of Houston...for what that's worth.

If you want to attend the H-J game in Silsbee, you need to get there around 5pm. They sell out quick I have only been to 1. 2010 Silsbee came back from being down 10 to win.

[Kountzer]

Was that the game won on a 3 as the clock ran out?

[BADSANTA]

No that was 2012 Zayon Jackson shot from close to half court.

[whsalum]

They moved them back to home and home last year and had good crowds but I don't think they had to turn anyone away. I love that atmosphere.

 

[Kountzer]

They played in the Ford Center one year.  Maybe the Montagne the next year.  I listened via this msg board.

it was the Ford Center year before last I believe...

No the game winner was in Silsbee. It's on YouTube 

[AggiesAreWe]

The series was played at Ford Arena for two seasons. The 2012-13 and 2013-14. Silsbee won all 4 games that was played at FA.

I only hope no Tigers exclaimed "we own this gym" during that stretch...

[stevenash]

I believe they were mature enough not to do so.

Look in July 2015, Silsbee, Ktz and a little HJ, there is a reference to a prior prediction.  Not sure where that prediction is today, but bradyb could probably clear this up. If he says no I never predicted that I'll say I must have been mistaken.  

Either way, no doubt they could have, just poking fun at the prognosticators.

Nice, subtle jab...haha

What is the Silsbee gym capacity? Should not both HJ and Silsbee be looking into building larger gymnasiums to house their respective fan bases?  HJ gym should be larger than Evadale, which has a nice gym by the way. Silsbee should be larger than both. These two schools, with their successes should have monster gymnasiums, but I guess that sort of goes hand in hand with the fact that their football teams are still playing on grass in 2015. Somebody told me Silsbee has turf now though. Kudos Silsbee.

No turf at Silsbee...yet

[ST413]

We have the new turf...it's called Sandy Mudhole!

Is turf in the near future? I can't remember where I heard this from.

Silsbee's Gym capacity is 1650. HJ's is 1059. Evadale's is 1100, same as East Chambers. Those chairback seats are nice but it does cut down on capacity.

Ozen and PA Memorial have the largest capacity gyms locally. Both around 2000.

[BADSANTA]

At 1650, Silsbee gym only sales out once or twice a year. That would be the Haring Jefferson game and maybe Central or Ozen coming in. H-J should have a bigger gym than Evadale.

I only know what I have been told in phone conversations, but since I do not live in Silsbee anymore, I may not be the best person to answer that.

AAW could probably give a better answer than I.

[BADSANTA]

Will Silsbee boys ever host a tourney? I'm sure they could attract some great schools across the state and Louisiana. 

[Who That]

Silsbee is host to a very big girls tournament every year. And personaly I like seeing Silsbee in tournaments like the F.Bend tournament And the Jamboree... And playing against really good bigger teams.
