McKinney North has a '6"9 post but he is not as skilled as the '6"8 post that Silsbee faced last night. He will still cause some match up problems due to his length.

I think Silsbee can win this game but they will need to be able to go to the free throw line more than just 3 times. ;)

Mike has just sent me a message that senior guard Kelton Gaines will not be playing the semifinal and may not play in tonight's final if Silsbee advances to that game.

Not sure it is an injury thing.  Mike said he'd probably explain more during the broadcast so the best thing to do is listen in to that.

Silsbee need to step up!

[BADSANTA]

I don't feel Silsbee is giving there maximum effort today.

Silsbee in DEEP foul trouble.  3 players, Jackson, Wilson and I believe Holmes, with 3 fouls.
