Silsbee is not playing Hampshire Fannett. They are playing Hamshire-Fannett.

I would say Newton and WO-S has as much speed as EC. What about comparing how much points each team scored against HJ and Liberty? HF = 58, Silsbee = 96. But HF beating HJ at home by 1 point

PG is as good as advertised. That’s why they will most likely be your state champs.

Maybe. I cant argue that,  But Silsbee is not Newton.   HF has a brand new program all the way through.  I do not think they have a loss at any level this season. HF JV gave Newtons JV their first loss last week.  Not comparable and I understand that.  Silsbee will lose Friday and take 3rd behind HF.      

What?

HF is very aware of that as well.  Spring Hill???  Oops.  EC would give silsbee all they want and could probably come out on top.  I ll take HF dub over EC before giving you credit on the silsbee dub over a very down Nederland team.  Other than Nederland, Silsbee has lost all their big games.  Dont see your point in comparing Tarkington and Kountze to silsbee Losing games to bigger schools.  HF could play those games and lose just like Silsbee.  

 

You will become a believer friday night.  

Say "I"

Say "I believe"

Say "I believe Silsbee will win"

From what I’ve heard a lot of Silsbee fans/citizens think it was over kill. Especially your 2x state basketball fam. 

School district did not pay for it. Sponsors paid for it.

Basketball fam wants school district to pay for such things.

Majority of Tiger fans like it. You always have certain few who think their kids (sport) gets the short end of the stick.

But, I do wish the city/school had something other than the two banners in gym repping the state champions.

Like a sign saying welcome to the home of the two times State Champs . At the welcome to Silsbee Tx. Sign... Are on the out side of the wall of the High School gym. 🙂

That has been tried but ran into too much trouble getting the signs.  They have to be approved by the highway department and some other issues.  I know something else is being worked on but am not at liberty to say anything.

I will say something on this...yes sponsors paid for this with the push of the booster club.  We attempted to start a basketball booster club a or so before the first state championship.  We elected a board and had a few members but could not get the needed support from enough fans or parents to function.  The founders of the booster club did get a new scorers table purchased by a sponsor.  And I believe the same sponsor has purchased a scoreboard not long ago.  I think it is a shame there hasnt been enough support to put up the recognition that the Tiger basketball team deserves.  One problem is the number of participants,  a whole lot more football players than basketball.  Its a shame at times to see the support basketball has got from the community through the years.  Basketball has been the sport that has shown the most consistent success through the years yet generally you have seen little support in the stands until a big game or the playoffs.

I will say I'm very disappointed in the powers that be for not doing more to recognize the basketball kids going back to back and 3 straight trips to state. There could have been a banner made at the very least as you enter Silsbee. If there was a paypal account that could have helped, I'm sure there would be many former Tiger Alumni to donate. I dont know if the Chamber of Commerce or who could have been thr head of this but it was a poor attempt to say the least. Port Arthur had a sign for their State Champs less than 45 days after they won. I'm sure Newton for Football, WOS football, and even PNG for baseball has had some type of signage for their kids. Silsbee High School and the town dropped the ball big time. It still isnt to late!!!

I don’t disagree, but in Texas, especially this area, football is King 👑 !

There are stone markers at the northeast entrance to the football field.
