30.  United is that good.  But the good news for Silsbee is that this is as rough as it will get.  We're playing the 3rd ranked 6A team which has a shot at the championship and has size and speed and talent.  They could handle any 4A team.  We won't face anything worse than this even in the holiday tournaments.  This is like being in the ondeck circle swinging a bat with two donuts on it.

It's probably a good year to be rebuilding because nobody is getting past basketball magnet school Yates in Region III.  The goal will be to get back to the region tourney.  If the Tigers can do that it will have to be called a great season.  It's a long shot but possible.  And if they do make it that far they will end up playing only one less game than the fully loaded Tigers of last year.

BU wins 106 - 57

Getting there could end up meaning playing the same number of games as we wouldn’t face Yates until the finals.  But that won’t be an easy task.

I believe Silsbee is a regional tournament team and will be in Huntsville in early March

What was  the ending dunk count?

[BMTSoulja1]

And what did Bray finish with?

[Tigers94]

Can't wait till we finally have a real varsity team 😡

Done sat through 3 games like this and they all look the same.

We have played really good teams

The freshmen #23 for Silsbee is going to be a VERY good player.  Hope he stays on Varsity for the experience.

Yeah, that's Harper. He'll definitely be a bright part of Silsbee's future.

He did look a little overwhelmed at times tonight though. Needs to work on his shot.

He had 24 when i left and we scored  10 more after that.

[ST413]

We have to be able to make some shots from outside.  We can get the shots but they arent falling.  Cant take a whole lot out of this one because it was an obvious mismatch.

The Tiger Cubs were just too pesky and didn't give the Wolves any real good chances.  

The team on the floor tonight was the smallest Silsbee varsity I've ever seen at any point in the last 25 years, with or without the football kids.  They really did look like the Tiger cubs.  They are hard workers though and that makes up for a lot.

United high scorers:

Terrance Arceneaux (Sophomore): 18 pts

 Wesley Yates III (Freshman)  : 11 pts

 Norris Bourne 18 pts

Have you seen anything this season that leads you to believe this? Is the region down significantly from years past? Just curious to get your opinion. For the Tigers to make the regional tournament they would need to be as good as last years club or the region would need to regress. I haven’t seen a lot of the region 3 4A clubs so I don’t have any idea who may make the 4A tournament with the exception of Yates. It does look like Huffman is going to be a lot better than I thought they would be.

First of all, I definitely wouldn't base Silsbee off of what they are putting on the floor right now. They will get significantly better by district time. Silsbee doesn't necessarily need to be as good as last year's team to make regionals. Remember, they blew everyone out heading into the regional tourney.

Other than Yates (a gimme) the other teams in the region would be La Marque, Connally, H-J, Huffman, Hudson and Wax Life. Silsbee Ultra Lite has already played La Marque and lost by 4.

Key for Silsbee and H-J is to be the #1 seed. That way you avoid Yates in the 3rd round and would not see them till regional final.

Harmon playing some good ball as well. At least last night for sure. Bush, Harmon, Martin, Cartwright, and Jones will the starting 5. 

[no-look]

Connally should be a top four team  but I think they would meet Yates before they would meet HJ and Silsbee?

I havent looked but i believe from the past they are in the other half of the bracket.

Huffman looks like a dark horse to me. I thought they would be down after losing their big post player. They had some young shooters that could fill it up and it looks like they are playing pretty well. They will be very well coached.
