This is going to be a good one to get.  Definitely not the same energy as last night.  Good hard fought win.  And hats off to Wharton probably the best sportsmanship I have seen in a long time!!!

Agree about sportsmanship from Wharton. I watched them play Bridge City the other night and they were the same way. Hugging and helping players off the floor after they won. Great coaching over there. 

That is great to hear.  Not enough of that around anymore.

Definitely only one or two little stare type situation between the two teams.  Helping each other up off the floor pats on the back and their players pretty much immediately congratulating ours after the buzzer instead of having their own moment of being upset over losing! Hats off to the coaches and parents!!

Schedule says Monday or Tuesday but the last update said if 4 teams agree to a tourney type schedule at one location they could have basically in this case a regional tourney next Friday and Saturday.  

I actually think that would be the case giving the driving distance for Waco and Carthage.

This makes 7 straight years that Silsbee has made it to the regional tourney (regional semis, 4th rd) and 13 of the last 17 years (failed to make regional tourney in 2006, 2011, 2013, 2014). With a win Tuesday, the Tigers will be playing for the regional championship for the 11th time in the past 17 seasons. (won it in 2008, 2010, 2016, 2017, 2018; lost in 2005, 2007, 2012, 2015, 2019)

I admit, I didn't think this year's team would continue that streak.

Yep.  Silsbee’s three freshmen vs United’s two freshman (Dotson and Payia).

Some freshmen aren't really freshmen with all the AAU & off season ball they play. I noticed that with Devon McCain & Jay Adams when they were freshmen. Then came Bre Bush who shattered freshmen expectations. 

All these middle school players they see all that, and they want to do the same thing.

Kids have done a lot of growing up these past few games. I predicted 3 rounds this year maybe. Was worried we wouldn't get that far considering who opponent number 2 was. Some people didn't think we'd beat Hamshire Fannett.

Anything beyond this is just gravy.

Although I would find it amusing if we managed to get a game with Stafford this year after all.

    • I agree but Hitchcock had better skill players 
    • Waco LaVega is about equal to Hitchcock in speed and size. 
    • You’re the one talking about Elementary school kids.  What I’m saying is that there are kids who play Jr School ball in GCCISD and then transfer into BHISD/GPISD/LPISD/DPISD between 8th and 9th.  Doing so means no PAPF/eligibility questionnaire and they get to play Freshman/JV, work out with the team, etc. and look homegrown because they transferred before freshman year.  it’s a loophole.  All the big programs do it.  That’s why the UIL rules changes, to close up the 8th-to-9th transfer portal, and it isn’t even taking effect until Aug 1 2025 so you’ll see these transfers this summer. Also, as far as BHISD being closed instead of open, just look at the GCCISD transfer numbers I posted.  GCCISD loses twice as many kids to BHISD per year, the “closed” district, than they do to the open Districts in the area.  Anyone who lives here knows folks who’ve used MeeMaw’s address to get their kids in there.  It is what it is and if it wasn’t, UIL wouldn’t be changing those rules and sending one of their own to the DECs now would they?   Go ask Coach Abseck how many kids in his program are 8th Grade transfers.  We know that at North Shore that number is at least 20% because of the numbers they had to provide UIL during their recruiting investigation.  I’ll bet BHISD’s numbers are AT LEAST that.  Again, THEY ALL DO IT.  
    • According to Texas Tribune, Gccisd, Laporte and deer park are all rated B. Barbers Hill is an A. GC has a higher 4 year graduation rate than LP or DP. BH is far and away the best district on this side of town. GC has a much higher percentage economically disadvantaged at 71.7% with LP being next closest at 52%. Surprised that GC is performing so well considering. All of the players that would likely make a great football team are out by GCM and Sterling. If GCM had Lee's coach and dropped back down into 5A division 1, they would be able to compete very well against BH and LP. I don't know what their problem is with getting the athletes to gel into an actual team. Lee still beat them both this year and was sort of a down year by Lee's standards. Lot of injuries some kids moved out of district and they are paper thin as it is.
