First of all, Congrats to Silsbee players & Coaching Staff. Today’s Basketball doesn’t impress me, but I’m impressed by how Silsbee has maintained Dominance in this Region. What you guys have acco

First let me say what a incredible run for those Silsbee seniors.  Best of luck to Adams and McCain at Austin Peay!   Been a pleasure watching you guys the last 4 years.  Glad you are graduating.

Silsbee didn't have the same passion as they did during the two championship seasons.  Everything was 3peat, without taking into account the grind necessary to bring that about.  It is not that easy.  After winning state two times it is hard to maintain that edge.  Meanwhile if you run into an opponent that is both talented and hungry you can get your hat handed to you.

Yeah hard to beat a school 3x in the Regional Finals 3 years in a row. Yates deserved the Dub.

Now anyone complaining about refs is just plain foolish.  Yates won the game fair and square.  Is Yates better than Silsbee.  No, I don’t think so.  Had a better day than Silsbee and that was with foul trouble all game long.  That’s just the way it goes sometimes.

Silsbee should have never lost this game.! But they did.. Great season Silsbee... Will be back"  

It’s been a heckuva run.  Senior classes like the one Silsbee has come along rarely if ever.  But you’re right.  Silsbee will still be plenty good and will be a factor most years.  But I think Tiger fans either appreciate now, or will come to appreciate in the coming years, just how special the Class of 2019 has been.

Hell of a run. Winning 3 consecutive state championships is very hard. Ask Kountze... won 2 state titles in a row and then lost in the regional finals on their way to a third. Kountze also had the better team and shouldn’t have lost that game. Then the following year they won state again. Nothing to hang your heads about Silsbee.

Great post. And I know it wasn’t easy for you.  No the refs didn’t cost us the game. Yates took it and we helped a little.  2 techs and a few unforced turnovers.  It’s hard to blame the refs when Yates had so many in foul trouble.  The only issue I had was how physical it got down low and some of those charge calls.  I was right behind one basket and had a neutral fan in front of me that had problems with a few of them as well.  Nothing you can do but play on.  Yates defense was the difference today, smothered us enough to win it.

Yates makes their FT's and can really get hot from behind the arc. Tigers played a late game last night and lost their legs today. It happens but great run by the Tigers, the pipeline isn't near as full going forward but they still got the General. 

Silsbee played the late game last year and won, come up with another excuse

These young men have been a very special group since they were  young boys with high expectations    They definitely have given not just their community and school a fun ride but all of us basketball junkies have enjoyed it also.  Most schools would just like to make the playoffs but these kids are on a different level.  Didn’t go their way today.  Lots of things you could point at that they could’ve done better today but what they’ve achieved together no one can ever take from them.  This group has set the bar high and its been fun to watch.  Congrats on one hell of a ride. Keep grindin.

Down through the years, the goal in my mind was for Silsbee to win state.  A lot of talent has worn the Silsbee uniform but it was hard to take the lid off the goal.  We were over shadowed by Kountze, even though they were in smaller classification, Hardin Jefferson.  Maybe could a woulda won a trophy except for the PA Lincoln dynasty. That lasted seemed like ten years.  Then all those great inner city started dropping down to Silsbee's classification. Schools like Yates, Wheatley, D Lincoln, Carter, D Madison.  It's a bunch of them.  

Then over the last 5 seasons or so a championship was close despite all of that.  Silsbee finally won two state championships.  Might not sound like much but it is definitely better than none.  Psychologically the lid is off the basket.  At least it should be.  Some of those youngsters have been watching.  They know a state championship can be won in Silsbee.  Sooner or later it will happen again.

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
