AggiesAreWe Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Okay, enough of the slander talk on Yates school.Get back on topic, Silsbee vs. Yates basketball.Last warning.
jackyateshoops Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Good Morning Everyone. Well, here we are, tonight is the night you've been waiting for. Hope to see you guys in the house tonight. Let's turn the corner and get back on task. In a few hours, it will be ALL said and done...so you call it!!OUR Prediction: We will win. We will win DECISIVELY!! 20+
Big girl Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 I hope you are wrong. I want Silsbee wins.

So we have to be ready. We are looking to play our game and if we do that, we should come out on top. Good Luck to all of the players involved, for this game will impact them far more than it will the schools, communities, and fans involved. For some players tonight will be their last dance and for others it will be an experience to remeber. Who knows how the ball will bounce tonight, but without a doubt, it will be a great game and one to remember for everyone. Good Luck JY and Silsbee!! Both teams have worked hard to get here and now it's time to go to work. See you guys tonight. Once again, Thanks Aggies Are We for a great experience and we look forward to future topics of discussion.
Guest Air Bisquit Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 My heart is telling me Silsbee, but my head is saying Yates.I think I will go with my heart Tigers win by 5Everyone have safe travels to and from the game.
ST413 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Lets go Tigers! Lets play the best we played all year and take this one.
homeless Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 [quote name="utfan06" post="1379523" timestamp="1361886225"]Yates by 9[/quote] at end of third qtr. then, Yates really gets going (in distance running this is called a "negative split") and the ball handlers for the opposition get tired/sloppy/a step slower.....then disaster. If Silsbee's strength and depth is guard play, then they could hang with Yates for most of the game, maybe even the whole game. Of course that depends what "hang with" means. I mean stay within 12. Think about this, how well can Silsbee's best ball handler off the bench handle Yates pressure when he's tired? And Yates length is most problematic when they trap and press. a Little less so when playing half court offense. Although #25's seal-and-quick-spin moves deep in the paint are impressive...especially the QUICK part. If Yates hits their 3's anywhere near 35%+ its lights out for the opposition.Bottom line: Yates could beat Silsbee 24 out of 25 times (for comparison, HJ would win, say, 1 out of 50) Will tonight be that 1/25? Nope, but that's why they play the game. The worst factor for Silsbee is if they think they can run with Yates. Yates BEGS teams to "throw them in that briar patch."
homeless Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 [quote name="Bigcam2903" post="1379487" timestamp="1361855064"]What is unacceptable is the way you speak of these kids & their community. I have sat back & listened to enough negative bull from you "girl" and whoever else signs off on these negative comments. Inner city kids win a ball game, now character, grades & everything else is brought to the carpet. Even critical of the graduates whom have gone on to college to better themselves. If no one else tells you I will. BACK OFF!! These kids & their community deserve better. I was taught if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem. I grew up on the west side of Port Arthur and attended Abraham Lincoln H S & we whipped up on people. All that was ever said was how nothing good comes out of our school. We were ridiculed often. My question is,how many times do these kids have to turn the other cheek? Walk away be the better man when they are being confronted by adults many times. This must stop & will stop because winning will do the fighting for these kids & their community. One thing I know these kids have is pride & heart, 2 key elements the kids in the "hood" possess. Put that together with talent & you crybaby fans & wimpy "I'm taking my ball & going home" ball players don't stand a chance. Even if it was the best 4 out of 7. I hope & pray you mean spirited people on here refrain from any further negative posts, because Yates players & fans may read this & the game result may get out of hand quickly.

That's why they do this. The few who do this get the facts pointed out and then fall back on but-I-love-my-boys comments. Last resort on a hoops forum when TOTALLY outgunned. Something Silsbee and ESPECIALLY HJ are not used to.
homeless Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 So Big Girl, I'm sure with all of those distractions, you're the FIRST IN LINE to give Coach Wise MAJOR KUDDOS for fighting through all that with these kids and bringing them to such focus and accomplishment, right? Right?

Big girl Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 What did I say negative about the Yates players except for the fact that they tried to start an altercation with the Silsbee players? I said I did not like their style of play and I said that Yates is not a great school from an academic standpoint. Its funny how they were talking about the whipping they put on HJ, but they were not too receptive to people talking about their school I have a right to my opinion... ;D
Big girl Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Oh and I said that one of Yates' coaches was encouraging the players to mock the Silsbee players which is true.
ozensfinest Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 This one will get ugly Yates cruise
Who That Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Let my boys get hot on the floor taking that ball away and popping them 3"s.. Homes ,Elam, Thomas, my boy Patrick and Wilson... Who That say they beat them TIGERS.. ;D

Actually, I was complimenting your hoop knowledge that it didn't allow you to hold out false hope that HJ could beat Yates, even tho you surely HOPED they could. Understand now?
