Bigger Deal beating Silsbee in basketball or beating WOS in football?

[BADSANTA]

I'm a Silsbee fan but I think beat WOS in football would be a bigger deal. I will say, I dont know over the past 25 years how many local teams in 4A have beat Silsbee besides HJ a few and WOS 2 or 3 times.

Bigger deal is definitely beating WO-S in football...

Mustang football is a way of life around here. Other sports not so much. So imo losing to silsbee twice in playoffs is much worse for us. If there was any doubt of a true rivalry between them, there should be no question what game is circled on our calendar from here out.

Football is a bigger matchup in every possible way. Crowd size, pageantry, etc...

10 game seasons (+playoffs) for football vs. who knows how many basketball games.

I think based on the fact that in a given season you might have one chance at West Orange, where in basketball you might get at least two chances at Silsbee, it is a bigger deal. Also, it is easier to beat a team in basketball than it is in football. That's why in the pros you have to win a series. Great teams lose to bad teams in basketball all the time.

 For topic, I’d say beating WOS in football.

Now to respond to the above post.  This year, my G’sons team had “two chances” at Silsbee in basketball.  We actually had the lead over them in the second game (1-0).  Somehow, after the first butt whipping, chance was not what came to mind for the second - let’s see, game?  No, that’s not good either.  More like the My Lai massacre.

Right - I don't minimize how dominant Silsbee basketball has been by any stretch. No team has beaten Silsbee twice and most haven't beaten Silsbee once at all over the past several years.

It was my first time to see them live.  It was very impressive, or depressive lol.  And yes, they got beat in the playoffs, but I’ve no doubt in a rematch, Silsbee could have won.  Good team - good Coach, tough combination.

Silsbee ball pressure is not to bad fun to watch for sure for alot of people around here but there is District's in basketball in the midwest city's they would have a hard time winning.
