TIEBREAKER: Silsbee vs. HJ Updates..Silsbee Wins By 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HJ-HawkHecklers409]

How was the officiating?  No one has complained yet, so our boys must have done well

My thoughts are that the refs had no influence whatsoever on the outcome.

I was just asking cause I was not there......

How bout you worry about Navasota and Cleveland before you talk about tying to match up with the Showtime Tigers again......... :

Here is my opinion in tonight's game:

Both teams came out flat.

HJ had a 5 point lead either late first or early second.  Silsbee was smothered outside in the first half and the Hawks would not allow Robinson, Byers and Walters to get a good look from downtown.  HJ missed several easy lay ups in the first half.  HJ should have had about a 6-10 lead at the half.  Silsbee came out hot early in the 3rd with Walters hitting back to back three's in the first minute of the 3rd.  HJ fired back and took a one point lead and then Silsbee rattled off 7 straight to take a 6 point lead again.  At this point HJ looked really down and is if they were outmatched by the Tigers.  At the end of the 3rd Benard drove and IMO picked up a questionable 4th foul with 2 seconds left in the game.  Robinson and Hill really abused the HJ guards in the half court trap and it lead to easy baskets for Silsbee and they controlled it from early in the 4th though out the end of the game.  I pray for Silsbee that Hill's attitude does not cost them in the playoffs.  He is a great player but he is a dirty player as well.  HJ played some backups in the final minute or so but it was at 10-12 the final 3 minutes.  Benard fouled out with 3 minutes to go but it would not have mattered.  Silsbee wanted it more tonight.  It was if HJ was satisfied with beating them on Tuesday.  I sat right behind the bench and Sutherland and his staff were constantly on the kids about getting back in to it and they did not respond.  I feel this was the reason for allowing all bench players in the final minute or so.  Congrats to Silsbee on getting the #1 seed.  They deserve it!!!!!

HJ time to put this behind you and get back to doing what you do best!!!!  PLEASE do not look past Liberty in anticipation of playing Navasota!!!!!  If you do you may be done on Tuesday night!!!!!

I agree with Lazeek's thoughts here. I will add that I was very proud of Silsbee's bigmen in how they stepped up tonight. Kendrick Jones and Avory Thomas, the Tiger's twin '6"6 post, controlled the boards, blocked and or altered shots, and played smart defensively tonight. Both were also active on the offensive end, getting some crucial offensive rebounds and putbacks. D.C. Stallworth only played a few minutes of the game but really wasn't much needed with the play of Jones and Thomas. Also, Brady Byars tweaked an ankle in the first half and never saw the court in the second half. In his place stepped Kelon Archer and Rahkeem Bolton who did a good job of picking up the slack. Silsbee only attempted 9 three's tonight, making 3, after making 11 of 16 Tuesday night. The Tigers attacked the basket like HJ did Tuesday night and it paid off. Silsbee was the more agressive team tonight.

Congrats to both teams on a great district season and now it's on to the playoffs. I hope we meet again on March 7th.

Zeek,

I think calling him a dirty player is a little un-called for.

I seen #21 for HJ and #42 doing some questionable things as well.

otherwise a good post

[Lazeek]

It was not just tonight's game Tiger Dad.........it is all 3 games the Hawks have played.  I agree that #21 retaliate tonight and that is when Sutherland sat him on the bench for doing it.  There is not a classy player that Trey Burrell on the floor......PERIOD!!!!!!

Hey man, win with class, loose with class.

You have your opinions and I have mine...I will leave it at that ;D

Good luck to the Hawks in the playoffs, maybe we can get together one more time

[Lazeek]

Well in the last 3 years the Tigers and Hawks have played 10 times.............and you guessed it..........the series is tied at 5!!!!!!!  Hopefully both teams will advance and make it a tie breaking 11th game in two weeks!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Can't get much better than that!

[ST413]

Great game both teams.  I agree with AAW or big men were the difference tonight as well as our guards helping limit the penetrations.  I did see a little pushing going both ways.  Some players more than others.  I liked the tigers getting more of their inside game going.  If our big men can play like this we,  the sky is definitely the limit for the Tigers.  With that said they have to have that sort of defensive effort every game because there are going to be some good teams down the road and one bad game will end the season.  Good luck  to the Hawks as well. One question Lazeek,  Why didn't Turner start,  was it disciplinary or strategic?  Has  either team won two in a row in the last three years?

[Lazeek]

Turner was being disciplined and that is why he did not start.

I do not think that a team has won two in a row.  Did HJ win in the 2nd half of district last year and then in the tiebreaker?

[ST413]

I think it was in HJ first but not sure may have been second.

[AggiesAreWe]

No, HJ won the first district game last year, Silsbee won the second game.

HJ did win two in a row in '07. They won the last game of district and then won the regional final game.

[Lazeek]

If they meet in two weeks I hope the trend continues!!!! ;D ;D ;D

[Lazeek]

Actually Silsbee won two in a row.........08 Regional Final and 09 first round of district.

[ST413]

Three years 5-5 only twice has a team won 2 in a row.  It just can't get much better.  Nope it is time for the Tigers o take the lead in the series... ;D ;D

[Lazeek]

Uhhhhhhhhh  No thanks!!!!! :D

[AggiesAreWe]

Actually Silsbee won two in a row.........08 Regional Final and 09 first round of district.

That's true. That would put Silsbee winning 3 of the last 4 against HJ.

[Lazeek]

True.........but............HJ still has 3 of something and Silsbee has zero!!!!!!

Sorry just had to throw that in!!!!!! ;D ;D :D
