Silsbee 78 Houston Yates 71/FINAL

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Just saw video of the last several seconds. That crowd was packed!! Larger than last year. And amped up. (talking about Silsbee)

[JimThorpe]

Tiger shooting was off from all ranges but especially in close.  When Yates went up by 4 I was afraid it was slipping away like the nightmare Regional final in 2018.

Seemed like it was pure force of will.  Silsbee was not to be denied.  The Tigers had one extra gear in the last three minutes or so that the Lions simply didn’t have.

It was feedback from the team.  They pegged the intensity meter.  

The most exciting regional quarter final I’ve ever attended.

If you think about it Silsbee is missing 3 key players from last year's team. Gilder, Baltrip, and Jones. One of those couldn't be helped and the other two graduated.

It's been my opinion the Tigers are still a year away for a while now. Afraid I might be proven right eventually.

Glad we managed to sweat this one out. Think we're 4 - 3 all time against Yates now.

I hated to see Baltrip and Gilder go, but that's how that thing works.  Somebody has to step up.

Silsbee vs Yates is more of a rival than Silsbee vs HJ the past 8 years.

True.

Silsbee has pretty much owned HJ the last 12 seasons.

As i was walking out tonight, i was asked by someone in attendance if i was a coach at Silsbee.  I am sure it was just because of the particular shirt i had on.  When i told him no , he said i just wanted to know what yall do with those kids because they run like horses all game long!!

Since little dribblers. At least that's how it been since I graduated HS and went to go watch the youngins coming up. 

[ST413]

I saw the comment earlier on losing Gilder and Baltrip to graduation and yes they were both big losses however i think they have been replaced pretty well this year.  However the other name being mentioned was Jones.  I want to say this, and i have been giving him praise all year,  Jayron Williams has filled that space very well this year and has played taller than he is.  However Jones is the one we are really missing.  That 6’6 or 6’7 big body down low is just a big piece that has been tough for us in Silsbee to fill with regularity.  

[Tigers94]

Most of these kids have been playing the same style of basketball since they could walk lol. They already got years under their belts before they even make it to high school. That and a very healthy pipeline of athletes is a nice combo.

 

[Kountzer]

I couldn't figure out who the Jones was you were referring to. Now I know, Jayce Jones. Yes the team could definitely use him.  He talks as though he is coming back.  

The Silsbee formula: little dribblers has a lot to do with it.  There is a good supply of athletes.  Coach Sigler's approach to the game fits well with the other two factors.

The Tigers havent played a good game yet in the playoffs.  Haven’t shot well.  The best has to come out this weekend!

They may pull it out anyway, even shooting like they are now.  Intensity has a value all it's own.  The will to win.

Got that right 

[Kountzer]

Dayton ISD streamed the game. I am watching the replay now. Lots of misses in the 1st half.  Missed 3 FTs in a row..but they still won.  

[aTmfan06]

Is it true Yates has a few freshman that start/play?

[Mballler#1]

Yes that #2 for Yates is Mr Calvin Murphy’s grandson he was hitting 3 ‘s from all over but I love how Silsbee used 3 different players to rotated to apply serious pressure on him the young man can win really shoot the ball.

Last year, Silsbee was not ranked and no one thought they would beat Yates.  It was supposed to be a blow out and the fans didn't come out.
