Is there a Center live feed? Texan Live ain't it.

Yes.  There were two options for feed.  These guys are about as objective as you can be and be the hometown guys.  And there's a clock.

  • AggiesAreWe changed the title to Silsbee 70 Center 46/FINAL

Tarkington & HF probably psyched themselves out of a W because they played some teams with known basketball traditions. 

Not even close.

Both those teams (HF and Tarkington) are well coached. I can guarantee that wasn't a factor.

HF was down 1 after 3 quarters. I doubt they psyched themselves out after they proved they could play with them. Fact of the matter is the better team wore them down at the end, and HF’s best post presence fouled out early 4th

Tough first round draw for HF. Played very well against the number 8 rank team in the state.

These young kids don't know much about Yates in the late 2000s or Wheatley from the 70s. Both programs are decent but not like they use to be.

Sports psychology is a vast subject.  They got people with phDs studying this subject.  It is not always predictable but it is a factor.  If you take a program like Tarkington, and they play Silsbee, most of the time Silsbee will.win.  Maybe because the winning team has better players. But they have better players because that community mindset towards basketball has a positive effect. It is like when Silsbee plays Cuervo in football.  C has the psychological advantage. I could say more but I do not want to type that much lol.

I personally spoke with the head coach at Tarkington. He said not a single player on his team knows anything about Wheatley history. 

Wheatley is the better team and that's why they won the game. Had nothing to do with psyching out the opponent.

Psychology factors into every sporting event. It is in long term history and short term history.  Perhaps it wasn’t so much that the Tarkington team was psyched out, but that the Wheatley team was psyched in. No doubt the Wheatley coach has reminded his team of their basketball tradition. He probably has reminded them of their success this season, and of the success and schedule of their opponent. He probably  told them of the talent this team has and who they have played this season and the victories they have had. IOWs being psyched and psychology in general is definitely a two way street,to say the least.

More can be said but to me this is not a hill worth dying on, figuratively speaking.

You said nothing about Wheatley psych. You only spoke on Tarkington being psyched out.

Now you change the narrative when your theory is debunked
