Silsbee 70 Houston Washington 76/FINAL


Recommended Posts

Last year walking to the parking lot in Lufkin I was thrilled for the Tigers but I had a feeling this would be the story in 2023.  McDermott, Lewis and Walker would all be back for one thing.  And it was Washington’s severe lack up depth that got us to San Antonio last year. That wasn’t the case this year.  McDermott wasn’t so desperately missed every nanosecond he wasn’t in the game.  
 

Still the Tigers might have won.  They had some problems but had a chance to break thru.  They just didn’t get the bounces.  The Eagles can’t play any better than they did today.  Yet it was still competitive.

It was great to see Bottley get recognition as all tourney.  He played his heart out in both games and was very effective.  That pass late in the game last night was something.

BTW is a better match upo for FF because they are both designer teams.  They basically can build what kind of team they want.  It is like going to a signature Krogers supermarket, or HEB, or Wholefoods out in the toney suburbs like Cypress, or Katy, and going in with a $million dollar debit card.  Just pick and choose do some kinda sleight of hand trick and presto you team shows up in San Antonio for the state class final four.  

Then after you win everyone talks about what great players you have, and what a great coach you are blah blah blah.  It is all a sham, a farce.

Early season games are a funny thing. I'd bet BU would beat BTW by 10 - 15 right now.

And are y'all going to join us at region next year or keep getting slapped around by Furr and BTW.

 

Furr was a senior team this year, so they will return to their old self’s and BTW window is closing. Yates is OK

Tigers lose 4 off this year's squad.

Going to be adding plenty to the roster next year though. Let's give it another go next season.

Most likely losing 5.

I will be surprised if Miller is in school for spring semester. I look for him to enroll early to play spring football.

BTW is a much better matchup against FF than we are.  FF beat BTW by 10 I’m the season opener for each.

But that was then.  I think that if the Eagles play as well against FF as they did today (and get the same refs they had today:  sorry can’t help myself) they can win. 

Shortly before BTW handed United an L.

    • That’s a heck of a take there. If you could just remove Kountze’s top 6-7 players, you got them.
    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
