Tigers94 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Silsbee by 15 I watched the entire Jacksonville/Kilgore game. If Jacksonville plays Silsbee like they did Kilgore in the first half, they're going to be in serious trouble. They can get hot from 3, but so can a lot of teams the Tigers have played this year. #21 is the only post presence they have. They rested him a lot. Again, they do that to Silsbee, they're going to be in trouble. Most of their kids that played are only about 6'1. You can watch the game here: They also will be broadcasting the Silsbee/Jacksonville game. Might want to temporarily subscribe to their channel if you want to see the game and can't make it.

JimThorpe Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Wildcats?Ā Well, not all tigers are wild in the wild.Ā Some are in zoos and some are even pets.Ā But I have my doubts that the Indians will be able to hold these Tigers in captivity.

BADSANTA Posted February 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 I remember in the 1994/95 basketball season Silsbee played Jacksonville in Lufkin for the Area Round. Randy McCowen (A&M QB) was their leading scorer. I remember one the Silsbee coaches saying this kid can shoot like Larry Bird. He was about 6'1 or so and averaged about 25ppg. Silsbee blew the doors off Jacksonville that game by 25 or so. Randy scored like 17. I do remember the dunk count that game for some odd reason. 3-2 Silsbee šššš. Donyell Allen, Russell Whitmore, and Willie Jones Jr all had dunks. Th next round we beat Lamar Consolidated at Deer Park and lost to Lincoln to advance to state.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kountzer Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Back in the day in 1972 Silsbee played Wilmer Hutchins in the gym at SFA. Ā That is the only time I've really been to Nacogdoches or SFA. I've passed thru there a few times, but never stopped except that one time. The joke going around after the game, which Silsbee won was Silsbee students came out and headed for the buses chanting 'we're number 1! Ā Then the opposing fans started throwing Ā and raining down rocks. The chant quickly changed to "y'all let's run!" lol. Ā That win got Silsbee to Austin, to state. Ā Historic names on that team were people like 6'7" David Brown, James Hunter, James Simmons, Eddie Hobbs, etc. Ā I wish there were some film to show how good those guys could play.

Tigers94 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Yeah, footage from those games are probably gone for good. Somebody from PA has some Silsbee/Lincoln clips posted on Youtube for a trip down memory lane. Mostly stuff from the early - mid 90s.

I will never forget we played Houston Wheatley, ranked #1 in 4A (we were 3A) in a warmup after district play. They had a guy named Eddie Williams, I think went on to UH maybe the NBA. They were breaking the clock regularly, and were somewhat dismayed they didnāt do it on us. I think the final was 98-69, but we were whooping and hollering because they couldnāt Ā score 100. Iām pretty sure they went on and won state in 4A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheatley lost to Dallas Roosevelt in state semifinals in 1972. They won state championship in 1973. That game with Roosevelt still is entrenched in my mind. That was the first time I had ever went to the state tourney (my first of now over 50 times). I was an 8 year old boy and what I remember of that game was not so much the actual game (even though it was an amazing game, Roosevelt won 111-109 in regulation) but it was the amount of people watching that game in old Gregory Gym. We were packed in there like sardines and they had closed the doors so the 100's of people left outside were climbing up on the roof to watch the game through the windows up top. It was an awesome site. That experience hooked me for life. My dad (who started going to state tourney in the late 50's and went every year until the early 2000's but had to stop due to health) and I made that an annual father/son trip from 1972 to 2006. 35 straight years together. Dad made 50 straight years. My current streak is at 51 and planning on making my 52nd straight state tourney this March. Oh the memories.

Ā The player for Wheatley was Eddie Owens. Ā He went to UNLV but didn't pan out. Kountze played Wheatley maybe the season before and lost by maybe 4 pts., gave a run.
