Do you think this team that goes 11 players deep can win district and get back to state? Do you think their lack of a tall front court will hurt them?

My thoughts are that their chances to get to Austin are better than most.

Guard play will determine a lot. [b]They have the bigs[/b] and if the guard play steps up to the task they have as good as shot as anyone....they had good guards last year but not an outstanding one that was needed to put them over the top......

They have the bigs?? no-look, I think it's safe to say you have not seen Silsbee this year. They have one "big" player, '6"4 Stallworth.

Silsbee is mostly guards and that is what is driving this team. (Stallworth plays in and out). Silsbee is pushing the ball up the floor, shooting three's, attacking the basket, and throwing "in your face" defensive pressure every trip down the floor. Silsbee is a guard oriented team this year. They are nothing like they have been the past few years. Speed, speed, speed!!!

They will win based on their guards, I agree. Their guard play is much better this year.

I wouldn't say we have the bigs.  Although DC will hang with just about anyone we have to face  down low, he is only 6'4 not small but not real big either. Our guard's  have to take care of the ball. Having Gaines back at point will help that. I am looking forward to seeing him match up with Gus this year should be exciting .At 6'2 Lane will match up well on the outside. Team speed and depth will be the Tiger's strenght this year.  I will be interested to see how the coaches use the bench this year when we get to tough games especially in district and the playoffs.  Like has been said the Tigers have the talent to get to Austin then I am not sure how they match up but play two good games and who knows.  Right now focus on getting better, then district, and the region.  I wish it was possible for Silsbee, HJ, and Cleveland to all end up in Huntsville not sure who the fourth team would be if you could pick the top 4 in the region.  That would be a great two days of bball.

Good enough that the Enterprise put them on the cover of the front page questioning Travis' player hair policy.

I agree Chad. Wasn't too fond of that article myself.

Hold on BAD!  You're the one that asked the questions.  Have the courtesy of letting people answer them.  My response:  yes and yes.

It's another joke piece from that RAG.

Of everything happening in the Golden Triangle, they lead with that. JOKE!

I haven't bought one of them in a long time.  Not worth the $.25 it used to be much more what they charge today.
