Silsbee/Lincoln Predictions

[DXTR]

This Silsbee team has the best half court game I have seen in Silsbee in a long time. When needed, they execute it very well.

Let's agree to disagree.

There always seems to be a team (recently) that this style just doesn't work against.  I personally thing that the SeTx staple of (run em into the ground) is a thing of the past when it comes to winning it all.  It's been a decade or so since all you had to do was scare a team into turning it over and win a state championship.  I'm not saying Silsbee isn't good enough to win it all...or that they won't.  I'm just saying that there will come a time in the season where they'll have to play basketball and not press a team into oblivion. 

we're not disagreeing.  I said AS LONG AS they can turn their games into pressing and layup drills, they won't miss him much.  Meaning that if they end up in a half court game, his absent will be felt more.  I still don't think it will be enough to derail them, but it will be more noticeable.  they have 10-12 incredible athletes that can run the press, out-jump and outrun opponents, and make contested and uncontested layups, etc. If the game is slowed down, not having his skill in the half-court game and his defense/rebounding when their opponent gets to set their offense will make a bigger impact.  so basically, we agree

You can put this thread to bed, it ain't happening thanks to Paris lol

[wosfan1992]

I said this was gone happen and everybody told me no. SMH told y'all paris isn't no slouch 

[Kountzer]

Paris made it through DFW, cool.  D Lincoln has at least four state titles in its history, and who knows how many trips to the state tournament.  The way talent flows through Dallas, u can be sure they will be back.

Josh Robinson and Jalon Pipkins cab ball for Paris 

[Fighting Llama]

Argyle beat Center 47-45, then beat Paris in the region 2 final, 53-34. 

[Kountzer]

I thought for sure Paris would make it to the state tournament.

Hoping we draw Argyle first.

Argyle sounds like a slow down team with good shooters.

Yes, my main reason is that I won't be able to be in SA Friday but will be Saturday if we win. I want to see that Brazosport matchup.

They are....Very methodical on offense. They work the ball around until they get the shot they want. They are very fundamental

[Kountzer]

Boring, but they won a state championship with that style maybe 8 to 10 years ago.
