*SILSBEE @ SPURGER BROADCAST, SILSBEE WINS 84-48!!!*

[Guest ST4life]

Silsbee 84  Spurger 48

Game Over

[Guest ST4life]

Spurger is lucky that Silsbee did not keep Hill & Lane in the game in the 4th

[Lazeek]

I don't want to hear anyone say that the Silsbee/ Spurger game was going to be competitive and also a good game for Silsbee to schedule........this is no different than HJ playing Legacy or Kountze playing San Augustine!!!  This was a blowout before the tip off!!!!

Nobody has made that claim.

BTW, San Augustine is 2A, just like Kountze. San Augustine may win their district. it will be between them and Woodville.

Gotta disagree with ya on this one Lazeek.I knew Silsbee would win this one but Spurger and Legacy aren't even close to being the same caliber team this season.I think this game was more beneficial to the Pirates than the Tigers.They won't face anyone close to this the rest of the year.

[Lazeek]

Never said that Legacy could compete with Spurger............I am just saying that it is a blowout on the schedule for both teams.......Yes, Spurger is a good 1A team and state ranked but that is besides the point.......Nobody and I mean nobody thought this would be a game!!!!

[whsalum]

But the broadcast was outstanding  ;D ;D

[Lazeek]

Well that is what AAW will give you........Unbiased Silsbee Tiger hoop coverage!!!  ;D ;D ;D

[AggiesAreWe]

I agree whsalum, the comparison of Spurger and Legacy was a bad one. Spurger is 10 times better than Legacy.

Spurger is 13-4 on the season and has beaten a few good teams this year. Spurger will win their district.

I don't think I saw anyone state that this would be a close game, good game or whatever you want to call it. Spurger knew what they were getting, so did Silsbee. Coach Isaacs asked Travis to play his team when they came down to participate in the Silsbee summer league tourney. Travis told him yes.

Spurger was outmanned, no big secret. Most folks knew this would get a little lopsided.

I just not really understanding what your real point is LAZEEK.


wshalum, thanks for the kind words about the broadcast, appreciate it.

LAZEEK, I just call it like I see it. ;) ;D

[Lazeek]

I am just saying that people on here question when a team plays a inferior team..........Silsbee played an inferior team tonight.........don't try to read between the lines.......there is nothing there!!!!!  I am sure that Spurger would beat Legacy.....I was only making the comparison in that Silsbee knew that they would blow out Spurger just as HJ knows that they would blow out Legacy and just as Kountze knows that they would blow out SA............everyone plays a few cupcake games.........some people just make a big deal about it!!!!!

[/quote]Knowing coach Isaacs as I do he got what he needed out of this game.He asked for this game
so he can see how his boys react to beeing pushed over their limit.Me personally I would have liked
spurger to have stayed a little closer but silsbee is that good.
I would like to think travis for taking a game with spurger knowing it would help the pirates more
than it would his club. ;D

Score by quarters


                             1        2          3         4      tot
Silsbee                    21      21        21        21       84
Spurger                   12      11         10       15       48


Silsbee was 13-20 from the free throw line, 65%. Silsbee actually hit 12 of their first 13 shots from the charity stripe, unheard of for the Tigers! They then promptly missed 6 of their last 7 to comeback to reality. Spurger was very bad at the line, going 8 for 22, 36%. The Pirates started out 2 for 12, but then made 6 of their last 10.

Silsbee won the rebounding battle, 41-30, led by Jones' 16 boards.

Silsbee also had 12 block shots as a team, with Jones getting 4 and Thomas with 5.

The biggest story of this game was the Tigers' Pheal Hill hitting 3 three pointers.  He was 3/5, with these 5 attempts his first 3 point shot attempts of the season. Hill nailed the first 3 three pointers that he shot. I was speechless!! Silsbee was only 4 for 11 from 3 point land, 36%, Spurger was 4 for 16, 25%.

A good win for the Tigers who was still without the services of starting forward D.C. Stallworth. He is still nursing an ankle sprain. Silsbee should be at full strength for their district opener against WOS Friday night.

This game was good for Spurger as they will not see another team this good the rest of the season. The Pirates also had a player out in Hutto but he should be back by the middle of district.

All in all, a good game for both teams for the first time that these two teams have played each other in school history. I very much enjoyed doing the broadcast from Spurger, was fun. I always get taken care of up there thanks to Court Side. ;D

He told me tonight that he is cleared to start practicing tomorrow. He said he should be ready for the district opener Friday night.

That's good news. Thanks
