Yes they talk trash I would too if my team was good...[size=12pt][b][color=red]but they don't take it any further than that.[/color][/b][/size] They are very polite they just love their Yates bball that's all...You act like Silsbee isnt as bad Yates fans nor the players or even worse...I coached in the summer league and Silsbee players tried to fight Ozen players after the game....so kill that let the kids compete and settle it on the court..you adults need to fall back cause your the ones fueling this nonsense....[/quote]When HJ played Coldspring (immediately following the HJ-Yates girls game) several Yates fans were leaving while the boys game was in its final few minutes. As they "disrespectfully" walked in front of the HJ bench (yes, with the game still going) they began telling the HJ players on that bench how much trouble they were going to be in when they played Yates. One of the HJ coaches got up and told them to go on and get away from the bench and he was promptly told by one of those(who never "takes it any further than that") what to do with himself. Saw this same "gentleman" at the boys game last Thursday. Sorry, but this type of "enthusiasm" and/or "passion" is not justifiable or acceptable under any circumstance.[/quote]Not justifying anything one particular person or group does,but don't act like these types of over the top fans don't exist ..I was merely saying the majority of fans don't act that way...and that goes for fans of any high school team...you have good ones and bad ones..

I expect the game to be lower scoring with a little more defense. I would like to see Silsbee play defense and see what the Yates offense can or can not do. The majority of the HJ/Yates game scoring for Yates was on fast breaks and out numbered defenders. I still think the height difference will be hard to overcome. Hopefully Silsbee does not run out of gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you sitting close enough to know how what you are describing began? If so, let me know. None of this alters what I saw. Two opposing fans mouthing is one thing- A spectator trash talking to players on the bench DURING THE GAME and then telling the coach "what to do with himself" is QUITE ANOTHER. Nice try but there is no way to justify what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big girl Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Those kids are in big trouble if they think they can do those same things in college against players that are 7'0 tall. They really need to work on their outside shots; as well as, fundamental basketball. At 6'7 you have to be able to shoot from the perimeter. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big girl Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 None of the players from HJ tried to start a brawl with the opposing team.
