Park is all freshmen and Soph.  Pretty impressive.

I figured that it would be much worse than this bc KP is very young. They will struggle over the next couple of years bc they move up into the Smiley arena.  :'(

First off, congrats to Silsbee for advancing to the next round. Also to Kingwood Park, great job Coach Amorosa, keep up the good work.

As for the game, poor shooting from the Tigers, 16-36 from the freethrow line and missing dozens of point blank shots almost spelled doom for Silsbee. This was probably their worst shooting night of the season. Three Tiger starters fouled out as Silsbee really never adjusted to the tight officiating being called. I give Kingwood Park credit, for being no more than a JV team ( they were only freshman and soph. ) they came to play and played their butts off. I liked Coach Amorosa's decision to sub in 3 players at a time when the Panthers went on defense in order to just foul Silsbee and force them to win it from the freethrow line. It was his designated foulee's so to speak and it almost worked. The Panthers ended up having 3 players foul out also. The difference at the end was Silsbee's big men getting some key blocked shots on the smaller Panther team and Silsbee making a couple of freethrows to keep that 7-10 point cushion.

D.K. Howard was not himself last night, he played with a bum ankle, definitely slowed him down at times. Jake Powell of Kingwood Park was definitely the player of the game. This FRESHMAN had 27 points and 13 rebounds along with 6 assists and was just all over the court, Silsbee had no answer for him. Powell put his team on his shoulders last night and almost willed them to victory. I will definitely be keeping a close eye on this youngster the next 3 years. Great job young man!!!!

Again congrats to the Tigers on the win, you know this wasn't your best but you still came out on top and that's what matters. To Kingwood Park, great job, nothing to hang your head about.  It is obvious you are a very, very well coached team and despite your inexperience, you played with great heart and desire. I believe the roots of a solid program are being well established there. Good luck.
