Can't blame the Silsbee coaches for walking Felts even though he was the winning run. I make someone other than Felts beat me. Hats off to the Angelle kid.

what a game. this was truly a team effort from angelle's two big hits in the 6th and 7th innings and peevey's crucial hit to q evans huge triple in the 6th scoring both angelle and peevey. in the 7th deramus's double put OF on position to win. statum and felt without a doubt are incredible players, but they are not the only players you have to worry about on this team.

Bobcatfan4life's Story!!!!

Bobcats rally to stump Silsbee

Mark Marshall

The Orange Leader

ORANGEFIELD — The Orangefield Bobcats faced all kinds of adversity over the last few days but did what they had to do to take a crucial 7-6 win over the Silsbee Tigers in a game that started last Friday.

The game was stopped because of bad weather Friday night with two outs in the bottom of the sixth and a Bobcat runner on third base and Silsbee leading 5-4.

The game picked up Monday afternoon at that point but Kyle Fontenot struck out to end the inning with Silsbee still up 5-4 going to the seventh. In the top of the seventh Silsbee would up their lead to 6-4 when Chase Kelly ripped an RBI double to center field to score Rodney Massey.

Orangefield (18-8, 5-3) fought back in the bottom of the seventh. Josh Watson led off with a pop up to second base but the ball was lost in the sun and dropped and Watson was able to reach base.

The next two batters struck out before Jonathan Deramus sent a pitch deep into right center field to score Watson from first and making the score 6-5 Tigers. Silsbee then intentionally walked Jacob Felts to get to Chase Angelle. Angelle would make them pay as he hammered a Lance Brown offering to deep center field as Deramus and Felts came in to score and give the Bobcats a huge 7-6 win.

With Silsbee (8-13, 2-6) leading 5-2 the Bobcats scratched for 2 runs in the bottom of the sixth before the game was halted to make it 5-4. Angelle and Zach Peevey had back to back singles and then Quinton Evans brought them home on a RBI triple.

After the game head Coach Jeff Bennett was proud of the effort put forth by his Bobcats. “These kids have battled all year to get to this point†said Bennett. “I talked to my coaches before the game today and we felt like they would walk Felts if the situation came up. They did and Angelle came up huge for us. This win is big because of how tight the playoff race is coming down the stretch. I told the kids to enjoy this win today but realize we have to turn around and play Bridge City tomorrow.â€

Brock Whitson started the game on the mound for the Bobcats and allowed just 1 run through 5 1/3 innings. Lance Brown went the distance for the Tigers and gave up 7 runs on 8 hits. The win puts Orangefield one game ahead of WO-S (4-4 in district) with 2 games to go in the regular season. The Bobcats will travel to rival Bridge City tonight before hosting the Mustangs for senior night Friday in a game that should have huge playoff implications.

    • Regardless of the offense, kids need a reason or purpose to play football. Normally, for most kids, football is something they genuinely enjoy playing, because most players won’t be suiting up on Saturdays. At the end of the day, the most successful teams have kids and coaches that genuinely love the game and get joy and fulfillment playing it.  Vidor’s two current biggest issues are the lack of appeal to play the game and a lack of community support. The offense has been the same for years, and Mathews did a great job of getting the kids and community behind his teams year in and year out. Vidor’s whole identity was being a team you hated to play because you knew you were in for a long physical night. That made the game fun for the kids who played, and they took a lot of pride in it. Currently, I would argue that the toxic attitude of the community towards the offense and Dubois in general is the biggest thorn in the team’s side. The need for instant gratification from fans is what is fueling it all. When the players go home or out in the community and hear: how bad the offense is, how bad the defense is, or how bad the coaching is, the players will begin to lose pride in the program, and the game is no longer fun. This leads to discipline issues and players quitting. Vidor has lost their identity and Dubois and the offensive scheme isn’t the culprit. The Vidor community needs to leave their objections of who they hired at the door and let the man work if they wanna be successful in the future. 
    • We will see i heard they pretty dam good 3 losses but all to great teams
    • Yes. May have been Jimmies. What I’m seeing is a lot more teams going back to more ‘traditional style’ offenses. These things go in cycles, and it’s very difficult for all but mega schools to consistently find QB’s who can really be effective with a true spread type offense year in and year out. I’d venture to guess most schools have an outstanding QB that can win a game almost on their own only every few years if that, and that’s what you need for the ‘high flying’ spreads. So coaches go for the O’s that they can groom the majority of kids to be successful running, and take advantage of the superstar’s skills more within that O when they get them.
    • Always a great game… with big Ned on the road to far, I’m going to attend this one. Give me PAM! Tank going to have a 3 sack game 😎😎
