AggiesAreWe Posted September 20, 2010 Report Posted September 20, 2010 The Silsbee Tiger football team will wear #12 decals on their helmets starting this Friday night in the homecoming game against Jasper and for the remainder of the season.Other tributes will take place that night as well.
ST413 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Posted September 20, 2010 Friday will be tough for Jasper after being a part of this.
td Posted September 20, 2010 Report Posted September 20, 2010 Class move from the Tigers.Speaking of that the Jasper Coaches and players showed more class and respect than I have ever seen shown by any team. People in Jasper should be extremely proud of the coaches and players. I know as a WOS fan I am very proud of those boys and men. Thank you for the way you consoled the Mustangs after the game. I can honestly say that the Jasper Bulldogs gained at least one fan Friday night by the way they handled themselves.

TITAN POWER Posted September 20, 2010 Report Posted September 20, 2010 This is a classy move by Silsbee.

It was obvious when Coach Hooks told the referee and the referee walked across the field to tell Coach Bickham. It was also obvious that Coach Bickham was shocked with the news. The Bulldogs were classy and compassionate.

griff Posted September 20, 2010 Report Posted September 20, 2010 Much thanks to Silsbee for extending their support to WO-S in this way.

It showed me tremendous class from Jasper when they were hugging our kids. They too were truly shocked, I could see it in their eyes after the game. I knew when the Jasper fans and coaches found out, their band stoped playing and their whole sideline just went silent. Very classy Jasper. Ive always been a fan of yalls, but now even more.

He was appreciative of the phone call and wanted to know if Jasper could do anything to help the healing. I told them they did all they could have posssibly done on Friday night.
AggiesAreWe Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Posted September 21, 2010 Also, at Tiger Stadium, on top of the hill above the horseshoe seats, 6 flags representing each team from district 21-3A are flown during every home game. The WOS flag will be at half staff for this Friday's game.

AggiesAreWe Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Posted September 22, 2010 Now there is talk that the WOS flag will be the only flag flown Friday night.I believe that it will be flown half staff with the other flags being flown.
bigred360 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Posted September 22, 2010 Silsbee is doing some great things in memory of Reggie Garrett. I'm sure it is appreciated by everyone in Orange.

I'm sure it is appreciated by everyone in Orange. [/quote]It is greatly appreciated. From the tributes on Friday night to the blue ribbons worn by the Silsbee volleyball girls to Katy Adams wearing Reggie's number 12 instead of her usual #8. But then again, knowing the people of Silsbee, I am not the least bit surprised.

mactiger Posted September 24, 2010 Report Posted September 24, 2010 At the Silsbee Homecoming bonfire tonight, the senior football players released 12 blue and silver balloons in Reggie's honor and one single maroon balloon to honor Silsbee softball player, Britney Withers who died last spring. Lots of tears and applause for two great young people that we lost too soon.

But I think Jasper coaches, players and fans were simply doing what came naturally to them. That was not something they could have specifically prepared for. I think you would have gotten the same response from any other team and its supporters. I cannot imagine otherwise.

I just wanted the people of Jasper to know that they should be proud of the young men. The fact is they did do it. I hope you are right and everyone would do it. Just wanted yall to know we appreciated it. Good luck this weekend. Those boys went through alot last weekend also. I don't want them to be forgotten.
