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.

Any word on whether or not we picked up a game for Tuesday?
[/quote]


Was turned down by 2 teams, waiting to hear from another. Looks like Silsbee will be without a game Tuesday night.

Who are they looking to play?

[AggiesAreWe]

Locally, there were only 2 teams off for Tuesday night (not counting Kirbyville who were the ones who canceled their game with Silsbee causing this situation)

Coach Williams is also looking outside our area for a game for Tuesday night.

Most of today's society has taken a strong stance on  discipline - WE DON'T WANT ANY! I commend Travis on his stance and respect him even more since this article was published.

[BADSANTA]

I agree but not top page worthy news

Too bad we couldn't get Huffman to play back to back nights and get some revenge for the football playoffs.  Is Jasper playing kountze tomorrow?  I saw it in one place but not another.  The only other school I saw anywhere close was Pasadena Rayburn and that could have been an incomplete schedule.

We need MORE coaches like Travis Williams. I really wish Ozen would have hired him because they could really use the discipline that he brings to the table. And you know why it was front page news? Because they know it is the best basketball program in the area! Sorry but if Hamshire-Fannett or Orangefield had the same rules it would not be on the front page and not even be in the sports section. It is safe to say Silsbee basketball is the area's equivalent of WO-S football.

Tigersvoice I like to be in the middle of the conversation as usual. Can Silsbee beat HJ twice this year and Cleveland?
[/quote]

Well, my answer is yes and yes - but it's way too early to go out on that limb.  Let's watch and enjoy the team improvement as we head for the first HJ clash.  You remind me of my wife with all the anticipation of things to happen in the future.  Enjoy the "Right now" of your life and of this basketball season. ;D

Agree Mcgee

Not only a non-starter, he must be a "Non student" as well.  No 6'6"ers this year. ::)

So narrow minded.........win a state title then you might be considered the best basketball program in the area!!!!!  Several ahead of you in SE Texas!!!!

[ST413]

Yes the Tigers are  mising that state title, and I will not say they are the best progra in the area.  However,  I do not feel that a state title makes you a better program.  Kountze, HJ and Ozen have the state titles and tradition to be listed.  Ozen only has the one state title though.  The Tigers can be put right up top with these teams just based on consistency alone as far back as I can remember.  Very few years that I can remember that they haven't been one of if not the best in the area.

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.

When was this? I missed it.
[/quote]That mother that was interviewed said she wanted to hear what Quannel X  (sp.?) has to say about this subject. I dont get that one?

I think he just drops by when there is loss of life.  So far, thank God, that hasn't happened in District 21-3A basketball.

[BADSANTA]

The mother who made the Quanel X statement seems to not realize that a matter of hair isn't up for a debate. If the coach says he wants his players to wear their hair low and neat then that's what it is. Just like a job, you can't abide by the rules then don't accept the job. I read the article and I totally agree with Travis. Each and everyone of the students represent the community and school. Travis is doing something most coaches are scared to do.
