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…

[Tigers94]

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.

Just remember, district accolades are only for district games. Non district results and stats do not come into play.

Silsbee will also receive a potential starter back in late January.

The Some of the sports writers in Houston say its Region Silsbee.

A bit off topic, but I saw Payton Jones has already hit 1,000 points. Silsbee has had an incredible amount of talented basketball players come through. Is there a top five or ten list of all time leading scorers?

I know the top 5:

1. Bralon Bush

2. Jarred Harris

3. Darryl McArthur

4. Drelon Miller

5. Jordyn Adams

How far off is that from your opinion on the 5 best player’s Silsbee has had?

I don't necessarily put top 5 scoring with top 5 players but those five are definitely top 10.

[scoopno1]

I never saw Darryl MacArthur so I can't use him. With that in mind 

1. Jared Harris

2. Braylon Bush

3. Jordon Adams

4. Donyell Allen

5. Elester Whitmore

These are scorers and not necessarily the best basketball players. If it was the best 5 basketball players I would leave Whitmore out and add Lewis Arline. I would also have to find a place for Thadeous Holden

[JimThorpe]

Not even an honorable mention for McCain?

[Tigers94]

McCain should perhaps get a mention just for the way he played in the Dallas Carter game.

 

Looks like Silsbee might be without their freshman PG for a bit. Hope it's nothing serious. 

[Kountzer]

1 David Brown

2 Michael Dabney

3 James Hunter 

4 Devin McCain

5. Jordyn Adams/Braylon Bush.

[BBfan061]

I’ll admit I haven’t seen as many Tigers play as some of you but here is my list. While I imagine Shannon Robinson won’t make most list, I really enjoyed how he played the game
 

1. Braylon Bush

2.Jared Harris

3. Devin McCain

4. Jordyn Adams

5. Shannon Robinson 

 

 

[AggiesAreWe]

Silsbee has had two McDonald's AA nominees (McArthur and Harris) and two that have played in NBA (David Brown and James Simmons).

Anyone's top 5-10 has to include those four.

I will say, that having the three point line has benefitted greatly to players amassing these point totals. Also, players like Harris, Miller, McArthur, Bush and McCain all started as freshmen. So they had four years to accumulate these numbers. It was very rare back in 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's for a freshman to start at Silsbee. It happened, but not nearly as often as it has the last decade. There were some that played varsity as freshmen, but did not start.

I could name several players that many of you do not know that I think would qualify for most top 10 at Silsbee.

Like I said, being the all time scorer in Silsbee history is a big thing but not necessarily makes you the all time best.

[BBfan061]

IMO I think when talking about who was the best for a  specific high school I think the criteria  should be what they did and accomplished at said High School… my opinion though

I agree. But being in the top 5 all time leading scorer does not always equate to be being the best player all time.

You beat me to it. I do enjoy the all time lists people try and make. It keeps the past alive haha. But I agree. When I think of best of all times at specific schools or in high schools, I try to limit the scope to the player they were in high school and their impact at the high school level. Some times it coincides with college success and sometimes it don’t. All time scoring lists and best players also are not the same.

Yes you are correct 

[Excoach1970]

No Holden or Arline ??

 

bottley should be 6th man he made those teams go on the defensive side.
