Lazeek Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Date: Friday, January 14thTime: 7:30Location: SilsbeeI know this game is still a week away, but looking for real predictions with reasoning. Anything not pertaining to a prediction will be removed from the thread and/or the thread will be locked.So let them fly!!!!
BADSANTA Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 I'm going to go with Silsbee by 9. The Tigers will have to really turn up the defense on HJ. Prudhoome, Gustafson, and Bosha can really play. Stallworth is back to 100% and I expect for Silsbee to fill it up. Silsbee 71 HJ 62.
jay Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 I'm taking the HAWKS in a close one. Possibly overtime.
True Blue Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 There is no way you could get me to bet money on this game.. On paper Silsbee should win this game by 15 or 20, but HJ has a way to overcome better teams to pull off a win.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 100% Silsbee because they know they can play with the "real" big dogs. As long as they play with the intensity they will be okay. It's Silbee's year. Lack of experience will hurt HJ. Silsbee by 7 over Hawks. :P
PoppaBearstarr Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 depends on foul trouble, but I will take my Hawks in this one by 7

Silsbee too quick and fast[/quote]Excuse me dove, but the fastest kid on the floor will be the HJ point guard- no question about it. Only kid I have seen who can be running alongside opponents point guard dribbling at full speed and can cut in front of him and steal the ball without making contact.
PrettyBoi10 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Silsbee by 8....... P.Lane will Hold Prudhomme -Gus will be held By Gaines an RHONE- an Bosha will be held by T.Barrett an J.Holmes I think that this may cause matchup problems for HJ with Silsbee having so many athletes to throw at them...

I worry about the Tigers being rusty, they will have only played 1 game in 2 weeks prior to this one.
bone Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 This will be a fun game to watch. I think Silsbee will have the edge though. Will come down too who gets into foul trouble early, and which team hits there FT.
BADSANTA Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Guys here is how it is. The Silsbee team can go a strong 9-10 deep. You have the best player in the area in DC Stallworth and a top 10 player in Prentice Lane. I think most of the other positions are close to being even. When you sub and don't lose a beat, you are hard to beat. HJ is extremely talented. I would expect this game to be decided in the 4th quarter at the free throw line.
FanintheStands Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 HJ will win a close one. HJ 62-60.
CThoops Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Silsbee by at least 10. Better team and HJ cant guard DC. He should have a monster game. Matchup problems everywhere except an even duel at the PG. Silsbee's year and they will TCB at home.

I think he's the only ball handler that can operate at Silsbee's speed. If Garrett is in foul trouble, it will be a long night for HJ.

Rockin A Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 I believe it will be a back and forth game that will come down to free throws and turnovers. Gut instinct is Silsbee wins by 5 this time but HJ wins when they play in Sour Lake. Anybody know the free throw percentages for the top 5 of each team?

whsalum Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Lt.Dan you are right on the money.The home court is usually worth about 5 points.These 2 teams are just about even,they both win at home and then flip for seeding.
AggiesAreWe Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Since we are guessing:Silsbee starting 5 free throw %Stallworth 100%Lane 100%Gaines 100%Barrett 100%Harris 100%Pretty good, I guess. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
