Silsbee vs Livingston

[BADSANTA]

I'll take Silsbee 89-59.

[STiger85]

I see the starters playing a little more, not much but a little more and Silsbee getting 100 .

Livingston really struggles against the press. Not a good problem to have against the Tigers. 

[Tigers94]

Never want to underestimate your opponent.

Hope the Tigers come out with a sense of urgency and play like it's their last game, which technically it could be for the year.

Livingston has got some kids that can shoot the 3 so I guess anything is possible but I like the Tigers by 30.

Apparently Livingston has a warmup game Friday against 12th ranked Brazosport.   Which seems a little weird but it's interesting.  Is Brazosport like Silsbee at all?

#11 Hardin Jefferson is better.

You're right I" forgot he was out. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Trap game for the Tigers. Livingston will be fired up and ready to play! Silsbee by 30 instead of 40.

To quote Coach Norman Dale on the movie Hoosiers, " In tournament play, focus on the game at hand, not the game down the line."

In tournament play, all that needs to be done is win and advance. Doesn't matter if it's 40 point wins or 1 point buzzer beater wins. Just win and advance.

I'll take seven 1 point wins please.

Have not heard he was out.  Is he out for rest of season?  Injury?

Out for rest of season. Not injury related.

Is this an ongoing trend? Last season (or the season before) HJ lost a key player due to a non injury incident.

Yeah last year, same player unfortunately. They were upset in the 2nd round

No, they were upset in the first round by Bridge City.

That key player missing was a major reason they got upset.

Silsbee being ranked #2 will have a target on their backs for sure. Silsbee should cruise.

Definitely hurts to lose a player of that caliber. They have been playing well though winning the last 3 by 54,60 and 12.

If HJ wins they will probably see Yates in the second round I know Yates is slightly down a notch but still OUCH!!!!

It's a tough grind for HJ.  WOS certainly isn't a pushover if they keep their heads in the game.  Witness the 3 point game against Silsbee.  Yates lost to Booker T by only 8 in their last meeting.  But I still think HJ will meet Silsbee in the 3rd round.

[Tigers94]

Looks like this will be Hardin Jefferson's shot at taking down Yates finally.

They had two Sears kids on their roster if I remember correctly. I'm guessing it's the older one who isn't playing anymore.

Not sure if I'd like a Yates/Silsbee game this year or not. They'll have payback on their minds and nothing to really to lose.

My prediction for the Lions…
