Tomorrow could be a trap game?  Huge emotional high tonight. Got to avoid a low that sometimes follows. Wharton should be more rested...

I worry with young teams especially.  But they should be considerably better than Wharton and those 15 year old legs respond a lot better and faster than we give them credit.  Come out and play hard and hopefully they will be fine.  But man you’re right - that’s a huge emotional win tonight they have to immediately put behind them and refocus.

I know what Coach Wise is thinking about now....

"Oh brother,  here we go again."

He might decide to opt up next realignment!

Something you said struck me. 

"....led by their 2 freshmen...."

Wow.  Deja vu all over again.

 

I wont compare the duos,  all stepped up and contributed.  Big difference to me is that Jordyn and Devon stepped into a solid team with lots of upper class,  these freshmen step up and only have really have 2 srs that have had much varsity experience.

Want another of those moments??  The makeup of that team, when Adams and MCCain were freshman, had more juniors and srs, 8 to this years 5.  But each of those two teams at least the current playoff roster and that state finalist team list 3 freshmen and 4 sophomores.

Well I guess Silsbee had answered my question but they can't get too high off of this win they have to be focused for today last night is behind. If they are not they will be out.

Very true a different ball game today!

[Hooohead.com]

This group will be focused today...Big Win yes...This group has played in Big Moments before especially Harris when he and Yates from United played AAU together in multiple tourneys as well as Big Crowds due to playing alongside Lebron James Jr...AKA...Bronny.......Harris and Miller both play AAU for the Houston Hoops and are always playing somewhere every weekend in the summer. They will be ready.

This Silsbee team is very talented but still very YOUNG. They cannot afford to break their arms patting themselves on the back, because this same team lost to Lumberton at home and finished second in district.  They are capable of winning region 3, yet being so young, they are also capable of losing to an inferior team as well.  ONE GAME AT A TIME. That one is over against Yates. Now they MUST refocus in 24 hours mind you, to play another playoff team. That might not be easy to do for 14 and 15 year old kids, playing in their first playoffs in front of the largest crowds in their young lives.

[Tigers94]

Silsbee had 3 freshman on the count the majority of the 4th quarter when they pulled away. Miller/Bottley/Harris. All three were playing in the big jr high tourney about this same time last year.

They showed who they were when Yates got to within 2 points early in the 4th. They probably would have lost a game like this early in the season.

These definitely weren't the same Lions from seasons past though. The team that beat Silsbee a few years ago was a good 3 point shooting squad and money from the free throw line. They also didn't turn the ball over that much. I re-watched this game last night, and the big kid was called out as 7 feet tall when they were announcing the starting lineup, btw. He certainly looked the part.

Yeah I think Silsbee will be focused as I heard Coach Sigler mention they would celebrate last night but today a new team we play. Wharton is no push over but I believe Silsbee wins and moves on to play Waco Connelly in the Regional Tourney.

So Waco Connally obviously beat LBJ.  Yates was a mystery team all year because they didn't have any showcases or holiday tournaments. Their big man looked every bit of 7 ft tall.  That yesterday.

Wharton is still in the playoffs so you got to respect them.   We shall see.

[BigWolf10]

Congrats TIGERS 💪🏿

[Kountzer]

What threw me off was the way Yates handled Ccrosby.  Crosby had a strong 5A team this season. When Yates blew them out I thought region III 4A is theirs.  Everything else is just going through the motions.

Swear to God I’m gonna have to pay @Boneyard Boysto go to these games.  

Just seeing all this, lost my phone last week in an unfortunate boating accident. Silsbee pulled it off, hot damn Tigers way to go. I had them picked to pull the upset by 5 and they bested that by 10, great job boys.

Yep they beat Warton the next night and now play Waco Connally in Regionals.

Wow, ok. Things are moving quickly for Silsbee and the young Tigers are hitting their stride just at the right time.
