Actually this was always supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Tigers. We've lost a ton of great athletes over these past few years. So this is "bad Silsbee" by our standards.

Not many teams in this area besides United can lose what we've lost and still be able to compete like we do.

 

 

 

It’s hard to have the kind of athletes that Silsbee produces most every year it seems. With the likes of McCain, Adams and Bush and throw Barnes etc in the mix...I’ve been a basketball junkie for a looong time and I can’t remember a bad Silsbee team...  Maybe when AAW played. Lol.

This Silsbee group is going to win a state title mark it down.

That team lost 4 starters last year plus the 6th man, lumberton is pretty young also. Gotta give credit where credit is due Lumberton wasn’t picked to make the playoffs, Coach Mitchell has done a dang good job with group. 

So let me get this straight..........and by no means am I trying to be the antagonist here but you are telling me that a SETX BASKETBALL TEAM (4a) WITH A D1 starter returning on the BASKETBALL team, was not picked to make the playoffs?   Man, my mind is blown if thats true.

It’s called the Lumberton Curse. Lol.

Yep, only thing I can think of is they lost 4 starters from last years team with only like 2 returning  varsity players coming back so people felt like they would have a bad year.. I have no clue.

I've never really understood or agreed with the concern with the dunk count.

The dunk count is the most accurate stat in basketball.

Well at least we won the dunk count 🙂

I don't think I ever seen a Raider attempt a dunk in a game, at least not against us. They got a kid that puts on a pretty good show in warmups, but I don't think they let him play.

I really don't believe Silsbee is gonna beat Lumberton by 40 - 50 points next year either. This is new Lumberton with a good coach and kids that play hard for him. I know we've got decades of mental conditioning to overcome when it comes to this, so it can be pretty hard to do.

You know that decades of mental conditioning goes both ways. I think a lot of winning teams have the mentality that they can't be beat and that gives them an edge, that is in all sports. That's why you have smaller schools like WOS kicking everybodies butts in football all of the time or Silsbbe being a kinpin in basketball or even Lumberton having two of the best soccer teams in the area, it's the mentality and expectation of winning.

The move-in kid for Lumberton has made the difference this year. He's 2nd best in team.

I would disagree!!! The big post player is the big difference maker

You have it straight and your mind is rightfully blown.  Honestly there would be few, if any, 4A districts in the state where a player the caliber of McClure and a coach the caliber of Mitchell wouldn’t finish in the top 4.  Maybe one in the metroplex

Then how does this happen?  Did our sports guru's in setx miss the mark as well ?

Unfortunately that's gonna be hard to do as long as Faith Family is doing their thing 😞

Hattaway is good, but the other kid is able to take some pressure off of McClure offensively.

Hataway has been the 2nd best player overall, he is so physical in the games I’ve seen but those 3 sophs have helped a ton in the games I’ve seen.

Proud of the team. Good senior group. Gonna be rough next year. McClure will get double teamed every game. He won't have much help
 

 

Comments from you last year 😂😂

[AggiesAreWe]

I've seen Lumberton 4 times this season. Hattaway on a consistent basis is their next best player though #4 really stepped it up in this last game with Silsbee. IMO, he was a big difference from the first game with Silsbee.

Back in my day, if there was a 3 point line, I would have averaged 3.3 points a game instead of 2.2.

Lumberton will have a tough out if they have to play a healthy Fannett team.
