Notes:


What a difference a day makes for Kountze (actually what two senior players mean to the team). Kountze looked much better today. McDaniel was definitely the difference for these young Lions. We'll see how the rest of the tourney goes for Kountze.


LCM had another blowout win. But they have yet to play a higher caliber team (wins over Kountze JV and WB freshman). Even so, the Bears look pretty good.


HJ and Woodville played a slop fest of a game. HJ's basketball savy pulled this one out for them. (Garrett Gustafson went down in this game, getting a nasty cut over his left eye, requiring stitches)


After Livingston gave West Brook a scare yesterday, some thought they may give the Tigers a game. That was quickly tossed aside as Silsbee dominated Livingston the entire game. Tigers looked very good, with the bench looking good as well.


Nederland's varsity team came to play today (the JV represented Big Ned yesterday). The Bulldogs were very impressive in their win over Anahuac. Coach English got the Dawgs looking good.


In one of the most exciting games of the day, Silsbee took down PA 38-28. Silsbee was having to play back to back games (just finished beating Livingston) so they were a bit tired and it showed. PA raced to an 18-2 lead, led at the half 20-10. But the Tigers, behind Stallworth, Lane and Barrett, came roaring back and showed the heart and character of a seasoned team. The Tigers took advantage of PA's youth (even though some of this team are varsity players) and applied the pressure to PA, coming back to win by 10.



The big upset of the tourney was Legacy taking down West Brook. Great game for Legacy. Even though it is summer league, it's a win that the Warriors can be proud of.


Cleveland rolled an undermanned Spurger team (couple of Spurger's starters missed this game). Cleveland played without their big postman Cedric Reed, but they did not need him.



Finally, to close out today's games, Lumberton and Evadale put on a nail biter. Evadale had three different possesions in the last 15 seconds, also going to the line once, but could not come up with the 2 points to tie the game.



All in all, another good day of basketball, 12 pool games. Pool play will conclude in the morning and bracket play will start at 1pm tomorrow.

In a couple of notable pool games played Staurday morning:

Silsbee defeated West Brook  by 20

Cleveland defeated Hardin-Jefferson


In bracket play:

Big surprise was #14 Livingston pulling off the upset wins over #3 LCM and #9 Hardin-Jefferson to reach the semifinals before getting knocked off by eventual champion Silsbee.

Cleveland had a good tourney going 3-0 in pool play and reaching the finals, losing just the one game to Silsbee, finishing runner up with an overall record of 6-1.

Silsbee wins their 3rd championship of these 4 tournaments played going undefeated. The Tigers were 3-0 (actually 4-0 after defeating PA in a fill in game) in pool play, then winning their 4 bracket games to win the championship and finishing 8-0 for the tourney. Silsbee defeated their opponents by an average margin of 21 points. A great overall performance by the Tigers!

Looks like it might be an interresting season ahead.

Yes indeed.

I was really surprised how well Silsbee played in this tourney. I figured them to be one of the top 4 teams but to win the whole thing with your starting point guard and 2 guard not playing in any of the games, was a surprise to me.

I will say this, I believe Silsbee has two of the top 5 players in the area in Stallworth and Lane.

I should have looked at the bracket before I asked about Spurger and Woodville,that is a brutal draw.Stallworth will be the best player in the area next year.I know Lane was solid last year so he could easily be top 5.There are gonna be some teams solid this upcoming season that may surprise a few folks.

So, HJ couldn't run with the big boys, huh?

Nope, they didnt stand a chance.  I have already seen some posts by a brilliant talent evaluator who has prognosticated "the end" for HJ.  He is very inciteful.  Look for HJ to finish 4th or 5th this year as the "changing of the guard" begins.

[/quote] HJ was just to small and slow for the big teams, Maybe they should take up the  off season weight lifting programe that is in place at HF.  It seams to be working so good there :D

I'm transferring my kid out of H-J since the decline has started, maybe we will go to H-F.!!

I am going to contact the HJ Administration and point out to them the futility of continuing a basketball program that is obviously about to become an embarrassment to the district.

      Port Neches-Groves vs Texas High

      By 1970 · Posted

      I too, wish #15 was healthy and playing.  And also another RB (can't recall the #), who went down in the first game of the season. But, some others have stepped up and are hard runners.  I'm really looking forward to watching this game.

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      By 1970 · Posted

      Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story.

      Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      By BADSANTA · Posted

      West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?

      Port Neches-Groves vs Texas High

      By Bordertown · Posted

      Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.
