Silsbee 104 Dallas Carter 101/FINAL/SILSBEE TIGERS - BACK TO BACK CLASS 4A STATE CHAMPIONS!!!

[bullets13]

I think Mike said carter was close to 60% from three, and that was before they hit the two late. I bet if you’d told carter they’d hit almost 2/3 of the 3s they took they would’ve thought they’d win in a blowout.  What an unbelievable night from the FT line for the tigers!  If they’d shot 66%, a number most fans would probably take, they would’ve lost by 7 or 8!

They ended up 61% from 3 ball land 11/18 and 58.5 overall.  We finished 56.9 overall and 47.1 in 3s(8/17). But that staggering 88% on fts!!

Still getting used to, digesting this two piece, (two peat), but yeah a 3peat is definitely something to go for.  Why not?  Got the big 3 together for one more season.  Losing some good ones, like Kalon Barnes, but got some good ones blossoming, like Chris Martin.  Got some even younger ones coming in.  I thought a 2 peat was next to impossible when I saw the tigers play earlier during the holidays.  But as everyone said, the settle down and got it together.

As I heard coach Sigler say in a video recently this definitely puts Silsbee on the map, so to speak.  They will get to play in all the best tournaments, but they had that going on before.  They will be in everyone's cross hairs, everybody want to get on the floor and play them, PA Memorial, for sure, cy falls, cy this,, cy that...maybe even Allen.  All those 6A schools should be shamed for letting Allen win a championship in football and basketball, in the same season.   Btw, congrats to Allen.  peace.

Jakob Barnes was huge for them also

I would love to see a Battle of the Champs matchup between Silsbee and Memorial next year!

Yep

[BMTSoulja1]

I wish they would've played this year at some point.  Would've been a heck of a game...

Wouldn’t be much of a game next year unfortunately.

I agree.  This year the game would have been something else.  Honestly don’t know who I would favor.   Maybe it’s just as well they didn’t play now that I think about it.  No arguments about who’s better.  They are both the best of the best in their classification.  But man it would have been some kind of game. 

[Eagles12]

From a neutral party, I love everything about McCain and Bush and how they played and approached the game. Proud of the growth McCain has shown. His mental mentality and approach to the game  in San Antonio was fantastic.

McCain, Bush, Adams made all tournament

And they deserved it all played their tails off and showed the heart of champions.  You can focus on taking one maybe even two out of the game but that other one is going to get you!

[ST413]

And who were the others?  I would definitely expect 2 from Carter and probably 00!

[DeuceSixSuited]

It’s almost unfair thinking that McCain, Bush, and Adams are coming back next year. Devon looked like a dang created player out there.

Carter's Zahad Munford, and Dante Stearns.

[Kountzer]

That fifth blocking foul on Carter's Stearns could of goner either way.  The ref was there and saw what he saw.

Good grief yes on both, especially Munford.  He was an animal.  How many times you see a kid go for 37 and 7 in a state championship game and he gets overshadowed and takes an L.   Devon was just in the “anything you can do I can do better” mode...

In regards to a Memorial vs. Silsbee match up. In a best of 7 series, give me Memorial 4-3. A 1 gamer, flip a coin.

IMO, the biggest difference between the two squads is Memorial’s true post presence. 

[BADSANTA]

Who cares Silsbee back to back Memorial of there'. Let' all celebrate 

[prepballfan]

I love to see SETX on the map... Congrats Silsbee and PAM. What a showing.

[409ANALYST]

Due to my Spectrum being down and out I could not post online.  I just wanted to say, although I am late, Congrats to my Tigers.  We will be the first team in this area since the Hebert Panthers in the early 80's to 3-peat as state champions in basketball.

Maybe in the current season but certainly not next year.
