Sounds like fatigue is setting in.

But wait this is the only game they have played today.  These are high school kids they don't get tired they should be able to play 2 games in an afternoon!!!

No doubt.  Interesting to see how close though.  I will take those Tigers 88-65. 

I meant that would be close to what the score would be with 3 mins left.  

[ST413]

Final Tigers take it 101-75!

Fatigue as in LaMaque guards getting worn down by the press & run.

[Who That]

I said by 25 so 26 works for me

[AggiesAreWe]

11-3 record with all three losses to 6A by a combined 10 points. All 14 games on the road with trips to San Antonio and Fort Bend. Dallas trip for DISD Coca Cola Invitational coming up before Silsbee finally gets their first home game on Jan. 3 against The Woodlands. First 19-20 games of the season on the road.

If that's not a battle tested schedule, then I don't know what one is. Just hope the Tigers can survive this schedule and not get wore out.

[ST413]

Oh and I mentioned the missed so I have to say Bush had a nice off the backboard assist to Jones for a dunk near the end!!

I know that was more of a tongue in cheek remark towards remarks made a week or so ago. Not really towards you.

I laugh everytime someone says long bus trips or back to back games. These boys can flat out go.

Some Silsbee fans seem to be a lot softer than their players.  How many entire tournaments has Kelly won playing basically 5 guys only and having multiple games in one day?

[DXTR]

Just want to say that Bruce Newton turned this game around for Silsbee in the 3rd qtr. He came on and gave them a much needed spark. You never know who will step up when needed with this team.

Hard to wear out 17 and 18 year olds. Every player at Silsbee plays high level AAU ball in the summer so they basically play year round. Thats how Kelly does it. All 5 starters play 12 months a year.

Is this the Year for the Title?? Definitely reloading the Talent over there for sure

[Kountzer]

Okay, if you're in a tournament, pool play.  Your team, (hightower) plays at 9am then again at 430pm. The other two schools play at 9am and at 130pm (baytown sterling), or at 130pm at 430pm (Silsbee).  Is that a coincidence?  No. If you say it is you haven't been playing attention.  Fatigue is or was a factor.  Maybe not a big factor but it provides a little edge nonetheless.   They've been doing that kinda stuff in tournaments for years.

Also, I understand these are 16 & 17 year olds, who play aau all summer.  Still they can get tired in a game.  That's been Coach Sigler's mo all the time.  He played it almost to perfection last year, all the way to the state final game, where they have never been before.   Do you think Silsbee has beaten all these teams on talent alone?  Nah.  The tigers have talent, no doubt.  It is their bench, and subbing in 5 at a time, taking the other teams legs out, which facilitated those wins.  In other words fatigue.   Sigler ain't running the press, as soon as they get off the bus, just because that's all he knows.  If he had a 6'9 230 lb post, like that kid at Alief Taylor, I am sure Coach would mix in a few more half court sets, etc.  That's not the kind of teams he has or gets on a year in year out basis.  He mostly has relatively short teams that are full of runners.  So he runs the other team until they get tired.  it is that simple.  This is not rocket science.
