Thank you to the community of Spurger from the Silsbee Tigers

As the Silsbee Tigers arrived at the Erwin Center we were welcomed by a sea of MAROON!  But the maroon these people were wearing was not Silsbee Maroon.  It was Spurger Maroon!  The Spurger fans were waiting to congratulate and console their team and yet took the time to cheer on the Tigers as well.

The people of Spurger gave us a warm welcome as we got off our bus.  Clapping hands, cheers of "Go get 'em Tigers", and "Bring it home to Southeast Texas" greeted us as we entered the Drum.

Thank you Spurger for showing your support for our team!  We could not make it to your game, but we were receiving updates throughout and were pulling for you all the way!

Inside the building we were able to greet your boys and coaches who also wished us well. 

Thank you Spurger for showing such class and sportsmanship!  I was overwhelmed by the greeting and the show of support!

All of Southeast Texas should be proud!

What great fans and what a great atmosphere.  I was at the game between the two teams in Spurger and those fans love their team.  I wish I could have been in Austin, I havn't missed many games the last two years.  Unfortunately I had to work.  Thanks for the support Spurger. I wish the results could have been different for our teams,  unfortunately we ran into the two best teams in out divisions a game too soon.  Way to go Tigers and Pirates.
