SILSBEE VS. YATES BROADCAST/SATURDAY AT 12:45!

[Champions]

Family faith beat Wilmer Hutchins 54-51

[Who That]

#1 W. HUCTHINS got beat by Faith Family 

[Kountzer]

Silsbee didn't have the same passion as they did during the two championship seasons.  Everything was 3peat, without taking into account the grind necessary to bring that about.  It is not that easy.  After winning state two times it is hard to maintain that edge.  Meanwhile if you run into an opponent that is both talented and hungry you can get your hat handed to you.

Yeah hard to beat a school 3x in the Regional Finals 3 years in a row. Yates deserved the Dub.

Silsbee should have never lost this game.! But they did.. Great season Silsbee... Will be back"  

[Lazeek]

First let me say what a incredible run for those Silsbee seniors.  Best of luck to Adams and McCain at Austin Peay!   Been a pleasure watching you guys the last 4 years.  Glad you are graduating.

Now anyone complaining about refs is just plain foolish.  Yates won the game fair and square.  Is Yates better than Silsbee.  No, I don’t think so.  Had a better day than Silsbee and that was with foul trouble all game long.  That’s just the way it goes sometimes.

I know yates deserved the win but how did Silsbee lose with all of yates guys in foul trouble couldn’t Silsbee have attack the rim to get these guys fouled out

It’s been a heckuva run.  Senior classes like the one Silsbee has come along rarely if ever.  But you’re right.  Silsbee will still be plenty good and will be a factor most years.  But I think Tiger fans either appreciate now, or will come to appreciate in the coming years, just how special the Class of 2019 has been.

I agree 100%! Sometimes the ball doesnt bounce your way smh.

How is it both teams got to wear dark colors  ? Doesn't the home team haft to have there home colored Jerseys on.... 

[aTmfan06]

Hell of a run. Winning 3 consecutive state championships is very hard. Ask Kountze... won 2 state titles in a row and then lost in the regional finals on their way to a third. Kountze also had the better team and shouldn’t have lost that game. Then the following year they won state again. Nothing to hang your heads about Silsbee.

Great post. And I know it wasn’t easy for you.  No the refs didn’t cost us the game. Yates took it and we helped a little.  2 techs and a few unforced turnovers.  It’s hard to blame the refs when Yates had so many in foul trouble.  The only issue I had was how physical it got down low and some of those charge calls.  I was right behind one basket and had a neutral fan in front of me that had problems with a few of them as well.  Nothing you can do but play on.  Yates defense was the difference today, smothered us enough to win it.

Yates makes their FT's and can really get hot from behind the arc. Tigers played a late game last night and lost their legs today. It happens but great run by the Tigers, the pipeline isn't near as full going forward but they still got the General.

Silsbee only won 2 State Titles consecutive titles 

[Bdub3]

That’s what he just said.  He said it’s hard to win 3

[whsalum]

I'm not from Silsbee why would I need an excuse ? 

[Kountzer]

that's why they don't have msg boards in Houston.  too many clowns.

[whsalum]

Yates has a helluva club, I saw that personally this year. Silsbee did too 

[Bdub3]

These young men have been a very special group since they were  young boys with high expectations    They definitely have given not just their community and school a fun ride but all of us basketball junkies have enjoyed it also.  Most schools would just like to make the playoffs but these kids are on a different level.  Didn’t go their way today.  Lots of things you could point at that they could’ve done better today but what they’ve achieved together no one can ever take from them.  This group has set the bar high and its been fun to watch.  Congrats on one hell of a ride. Keep grindin. 

[Who That]

Silsbee will have another hell of a team next year.... lol And especially the next 4 years after that.. Silsbee will be right back in the top of the mix...

I find it hard to think Yates wins state. If you have never seen Faith Family, you better look out. They are very athletic and long. 

[Tigers94]

I think Silsbee can push region next year. Gonna be a little younger and less experienced, which will result in some growing pains.

My bad 

[Kountzer]

Down through the years, the goal in my mind was for Silsbee to win state.  A lot of talent has worn the Silsbee uniform but it was hard to take the lid off the goal.  We were over shadowed by Kountze, even though they were in smaller classification, Hardin Jefferson.  Maybe could a woulda won a trophy except for the PA Lincoln dynasty. That lasted seemed like ten years.  Then all those great inner city started dropping down to Silsbee's classification. Schools like Yates, Wheatley, D Lincoln, Carter, D Madison.  It's a bunch of them.  

Then over the last 5 seasons or so a championship was close despite all of that.  Silsbee finally won two state championships.  Might not sound like much but it is definitely better than none.  Psychologically the lid is off the basket.  At least it should be.  Some of those youngsters have been watching.  They know a state championship can be won in Silsbee.  Sooner or later it will happen again.
