SILSBEE COACH TRAVIS WILLIAMS HOSPITALIZED/ Will be released Monday

[WOSgrad]

I have just received word from Mike Sanchez, voice of the Silsbee Tigers, that Boys Basketball Head Coach Travis Williams suffered a heart attack during the trip home from Jasper, where the Tigers had defeated the Bulldogs, 65-48 earlier in the evening.

Coach Williams was transported to Hermann Baptist Hospital in Beaumont where tests confirmed that he had suffered a heart attack.  He remains hospitalized and while his current condition is unknown, we do not have any word that his life is in immediate danger.

Stay tuned to SETXsports as we will hopefully have more details later today and keep Coach Williams, his family and the Tigers in your prayers.

I am headed to the hospital now. I will update Travis' status when I can.

So today we are all Silsbee Tigers.  Let's hope this was a mild heart attack, with minimal heart muscle damage.  Coach Williams, we pray for your cardiologist to roto-rooter your coronaries, fix you up better than you've been in twenty years, and get you back on the basketball court/dance floor by the playoffs!

Prayers from the Port Neches-Groves Community for Coach Williams and all of the Silsbee Tigers! If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it!

[WOSgrad]

Just got off of the phone with Mike Sanchez who just visited with Coach Williams.  Coach Williams is resting comfortably in the hospital, the IV's aside, is doing okay.  There are further tests that will be run which will probably keep him in the hospital at least through the weekend.

[ForeverADog]

That's good news. Thanks for the updates.

He seems to be doing fine.  They are just trying to get to the bottom of the heart attack.
