I think I worry about Huffman going nuts from the 3 point line more than anything. We've seen teams do that to us this year and build temporary decent leads. A better team does it to us, they may be able to pull away and keep that lead.

Interesting to see Somerset beat Stafford. Don't know who we'd play if we win this, but if it ain't Carter or Faith Family, we got a decent shot at the finals.

If we win this game against Huffman we play the winner of Boerne and Somerset..!

I think it will be Argyle, Boerne, Faith Family and Silsbee seeded in that order.  Which means we would get Argyle in the semi and Faith in the final.

And if by some miracle the unranked Tigers claw out a championship they will have beaten the top three ranked teams almost one after another to win it.

And it would be the biggest story in the history of Texas high school basketball.  And a movie would be made.  And Denzel Washington will play Coach Sig (he has experience in that kind of role).  And I think Shan Gilder should play himself.  

But would it be a miracle?  Not if the ranking means anything.  Why couldn't it happen?  The Tiger win over the Lions wasn't exactly comfortable but it was a convincing 15 point victory.  And the No. 2 team is supposed to be better than the No. 3 team right?  So beating Argyle certainly isn't any kind of insurmountable thing.  And the No. 2 team shouldn't be that far behind the No. 1 right?  So a Silsbee win against Faith would be only a mild upset.  In conclusion don't think it's premature to start thinking of a name for that movie.  

No this year like was previously states our region plays region 4 in a semi final site to be determined.  And even in previous years your seeding scenario was not true.  They do seed the teams normally but take the top two seeds, determined by winning percentage, and place them opposite each other.  The teams they face are by random draw of the other two.   This is discussed every year, but since only the state championships are going to be in SA, at least as a part of a state tourney, its different this year.

Not overlooking this Friday’s game, just citing history: the region III team, Silsbee, put the hurt on region IV’s Somerset back in 2018.  Things have changed since then of course.

Silsbee better run Huffman off that 3pt line for sure. Huffman hasn't played near the caliber of teams Silsbee has but 27-1 is a heck of a record. Im just hoping Silsbee can keep it close 🙄😏

Borne actually knocked PA Lincoln out at state one time back in the day. Program does have a bit of tradition going for it.

Because there is only championship games in SA this year, there will be no seeding. Region I champ will play Region II champ in one semifinal and Region III champ will be play Region IV champ in the other semifinal.

Winner of Huffman/Silsbee will play winner of Boerne/Somerset. The semifinal venues will be agreed upon by the two participating teams.

Or has that been done before?

Seems like several Silsbee fans have concluded that Huffman is a win already.  Wonder if the players feel the same?  Not a good attitude going in a Regional Final, especially against a team with only one loss.  Regardless of competition, only having one loss is impressive.  Indicates to me the Falcons don’t have a lot of peaks and valleys, just a solid basketball team.  I’d bet they aren’t overlooking Silsbee, and the Tigers would be wise not to overlook them.

What Silsbee fans have said that?? None? Your stiring the pot sir. 

[BADSANTA]

Here is something some people don't get. Fans sit in the stands and the kids play 😂😂. Fans can go back and forth all day. What matters is the kids out the court competing to win. Either way, both schools should feel proud as Silsbee wasn't expected to make it this far and Huffman making its 1st trip to the Regional Finals. I can guarantee Silsbee isn't overlooking Huffman and Huffman isnt overlooking Silsbee.

After re-reading the thread, I admit it’s not as bad as I first thought.  So my bad.  Not trying to stir the pot, I think this could be one of the premier games if both play up to their potential.  I can see all the fans getting their money’s worth Friday night.  

Thanks for calling me on my senior moment.  🤪

Hagar, actually you were just testing them to see if they were paying attention. Right? 

[AggiesAreWe]

All four teams (Silsbee, Huffman, Somerset, and Boerne) have agreed to play the next round (state semifinal) at Delmar Fieldhouse (Houston) Tuesday night @ 7:00 pm.

If Silsbee is fortunate to play next week, it will be 30 min from my home. The bad thing, that is a travel week for me. Smh

There are alot of Silsbee fans that where coming to this game tomorrow..! But they won't be able to make it Tuesday. ☹🤨

Probably the best we could wish for if we get there.  Seeing as its about an hour closer to us than them.

Yeah I" read it wrong I" thought he was saying the Silsbee - Huffman game was Tuesday.. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂🤣

This is good for me either way.  It's close enough and convenient enough that even if the Tigers loose I'll go on Tuesday.  If the Falcons win I'll adopt them and be a Region III fan.  Then I'll spend the night with the grandkids in Katy and go shopping on Wednesday.

If the Tigers win we do still get to call it "going to State" right?

Yes as we did for Football playing Cuero and Wimberley

Very diplomatic no-look.  We need to be kind to Hagar as he is approaching “super senior” status.

It's fair to make that statement. It is the round of playoffs that uses the word "state". Though some use the word "state" in the regional final round. (state quarterfinals)

This is just a one year gig on how the state "tourney" is being held. Next year will be back to normal tourney schedule.

I guess you're right.  I confess I never thought about it that way but it was the "state" semifinal.
