Silsbee District Win Streak

[AggiesAreWe]

Since teams started district play last week I got to looking at Silsbee's district record over the last several years. The Tigers are currently on a 40 district game win streak. Last district loss was in the 2021 season to Lumberton.

I went back to the 2011-12 season (that's the season when Coach Joe Sigler came back to Silsbee). Since that season, Silsbee has a district record of 130-8. A .942 win percentage. Here is the district record for the last 13 seasons:

2012          9-1          Co Champs   #2 seed

2013          9-1           District Champs

2014         11-1          Co Champs  #2 seed (lost district playoff to WO-S)

2015          11-1         Co Champs   #1 seed

2016         12-0         District Champs

2017         9-0*          District Champs    *(Silsbee and LC-M had to forfeit their game)

2018         10-0         District Champs

2019         12-0         District Champs

2020         11-1         Co Champs   #1 seed (beat HJ in #1 seed game)

2021          9-3          #2 seed

2022        12-0          District Champs

2023         12-0         District Champs

2024         12-0         District Champs

2025          1-0

 

That's 12 district championships (eight outright) and 10 #1 seeds in 13 years. Silsbee averaged 10 wins to .6 losses in district play. If you go back the last 10 years, Silsbee is 101-5 (.953) with 9 district championships (7 outright) and 9 #1 seeds.

This 40 district game win streak is the 2nd longest streak in this 13 year period. Tigers won 53 straight district games between 2015-2020. That streak was ended by Hamshire-Fannett.

As most know, that 2021 season that had Silsbee lose 3 district games was due in part by Covid. Silsbee had to play their JV in two district games against LC-M and Vidor in first half of district play. Once the Tigers got their varsity team back, they beat LC-M and Vidor by 30+. That was also Harris, Miller and Bottley and company freshmen year.

This is very impressive to say the least. Kudos to Coach Sigler and his staff and the Silsbee Tiger basketball team. Just another historical mark in Silsbee athletics.

Great post!!

101-5 is insane. Along with 5 trips to state and 2 championships. Coach Sigler is well on his way to the Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame. Kudos to Coach Ira Brooks, Coach Collins, and Coach Jacob Brooks.

Wow pure domination… very historical run by the Silsbee Tigers and no signs of slowing down either from my friends that way…

Are there any serious threats this year? Vidor seems to be pretty solid. West Orange can sometimes give us trouble, whether it makes sense or not.

These next two years are the down years for Silsbee (by Tiger standards) as far as I'm concerned. If anybody wants to sneak in a district win, that'll be the time to do it.

In the district? No there shouldn’t be a threat

I thought there might be but no.  The Lumberton game cleared my head.  There will be games with a spread of less than 20 but probably not less than 10.   

The most interesting game will be the final district game between the Pirates and the Tigers and that will be played in Vidor.  There's a fair chance that Vidor will come into it with only 1 loss and a good chance that the Tigers will come in undefeated.  When was the last time the Tigers and Vidor played for the district co-championship?  Was there ever a time?

Peyton is already district MVP.  Lumberton held him pretty much in check but at the expense of a good part of the rest of their defense.  One kid they had on him seemed to be defending him even when Lumberton had the ball.
