BADSANTA Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I havent been to a Silsbee vs HJ game since 2010 when the game was in Silsbee and it was a freshman Bosha and junior Prudhomme vs Seniors Stallworth and Prentice Lane for Silsbee. I remember HJ got up by like 20 and Silsbee came back and won by 10 or so. Silsbee also had the Barrett twins who could shoot as well.

JimThorpe Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 It's interesting that this 4A game gets more attention than the local 5A and 6A games? And we've got the No. 9 and 10 ranked 6A schools and the No. 5 ranked 5A school but threads for those teams just don't draw the same interest as this little 4A thing does. What are the reasons for that? Obviously a long standing consistent rivalry is one reason and probably the main one. Add to that the fact these teams regularly advance pretty far in the playoffs. Is there anything else? Is it possible that for some reason 4A level basketball is the sweet spot for meaningful play at the high school level? Big enough but not too big? Even Lumberton games get more attention here. Is all this purely a feature of the nature of this forum or is it more universal than that? Just wondering.

Silsbee basketball may only be surpassed by WOS football in terms of thread posts. BADSANTA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADSANTA Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yeah plus I think it's more Silsbee and HJ folks on this thread as well. Silsbee has won 2 recent titles and 3 recent trips to state. HJ has been to state twice over the past 10-12 years and one team advances to the Regionals almost every year. Neither is the best in SETX but I think both have the die hard fan base and bring the biggest basketball crowds. Silsbee the last 4 years has had the best team in setx which has made this rivalry lopsided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of things... first of all, #9 6a team plays an unranked team tonight . Not exactly a big profile game. Actually, this is expected to be a blowout. 2nd, there is no thread up for a United vs. LaPorte game (tonight) or the big profile #9 vs #10 6a TUESDAY matchup, so there will be minimum traffic on a non existing thread... 🙄🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
