I apologize for posting today's regional final game threads so early. Today is opening ceremonies at Silsbee Little League at 9am and I have a very important Tee Ball game to attend at 11:30am. Grandson's first ever Tee Ball game. I should be back by 2pm to help update the games for today.

Love that speech and that movie. I love both sports (basketball and baseball). Have a little more passion for basketball though. But my love for my grandkids trumps all!!

Do I think playing Silsbee as your second game in less than 20 hours, and having them run you harder than pretty much any team has made you run all year might tire a team out? Yeah, I do.

Who RUNS REGION 3???? LITTLE ole SILSBEE!!!!!

Rather scary post. Texas & Florida are the “must have” States for conservatives. If either fall, especially Texas, it’s all over. I’ve often wondered why conservatives resist marijuana legalization, since conservatives are for personal freedoms. We ordinarily think that everyone has the freedom to control their lives. But when it comes to legalizing gambling or marijuana, as a group we’re against it. Makes no sense to me. The Republicans could/should nip this in the bud now by coming out for the legalization of MJ themselves, if only medically. If not, you can bet the Looney Left will come out in full force, and with some conservatives not happy with Abbott, and a few that might change their votes because of MJ, it will be to close for comfort. I’m borderline ultra right. I think Trump’s positive aspects were everything we look for in a President. I’m also for MJ legalization, but will not, no way Jose, vote for Beto over that issue. As for the potential problems associated with legalizing MJ, I’d think that one would only have to research what has happened in other States who have legalized it. California has refineries - what problems have they confronted? We’ve discussed the potential negatives of MJ, but not the positives. Medically, there are several, and not legalizing it for prescription is a dunce move if I’ve ever seen one. Good grief, you can get fentanyl administer by a doctor but not MJ? That’s freaking ridiculous. MJ is not the boogeyman as it’s been portrayed. Although I’ve never used it, common sense tells me there’s a minimum of 10 prescription pain killers more dangerous than MJ. What do we need to do? Contact our local representatives and encourage them to legalize MJ, at least for medicinal purposes. Nip this issue in the bud. It’s all the Dems have, and not worth losing our State and Country over.

I see what you did there, even if you didn’t 😉

They scored 33 in first quarter, then 41 the rest of the game. So.....

Final 80-74 Silsbee Tigers punch their ticket to San Antonio!!!

I’m watching it on Facebook live and this dude from Silsbee is hilarious. Better than any commentary I’ve ever heard.

31-30 BU leads, under 3min left in the 3rd qtr

I was around when Walkoviak was hired. In no time at all, it was clear to everyone that he was on a whole other level than most coaches. Before his arrival, Jasper was content to contend for District once every five or so years when the talent would peak. Walkoviak changed that mindset immediately to expect to contend EVERY year. And Jasper did. I am expecting no less from Crumedy.

That was a very, very good post.

With the Ukraine situation, now is not the right time for any candidate to talk about taking our guns. Might be an election killer. My wife often shares crazy stories with concern going on around the country and I tell her we don’t have worry about that, we live in Texas. If Beto were to get elected, that would change everything.

This is Silsbee's 12th regional final in last 18 seasons and 7th in last 8 seasons.

38-16 BU halftime

Get ready Booker T...here come the TIGERS!!

Hitchcock 61 Franklin 52 final.... Hitchcock has a great team. Franklin had every chance to win this game. Just couldn't finish when driving

I was wrong. Washington can be had.

That Tiger 3rd quarter we've seen so many times this year made the difference. Got to work on that free throw shooting though.

Silsbee made plays when it counted. Silsbee outside shooting came to life in this game. The crucial play for me is when it was 74-72 and Harper stole the inbound pass and Miller hit the layup. Washington came down and just turned it over. We did miss a ton of free-throw in this game. Got to work on that.

YEAH BU and Silsbee

Even professional athletes get fatigued. Fail to see why it's so hard to believe it can't happen to high school kids. Who cares right now though. Tigers going back to state!!!

United up up 62-55 4 sec left

Com on BU let's take this.

Quit leaving them open for 3 geez

Sounds like tired legs

He would have been great.

I will not argue with your time tested analytics as I have not studied the metric like you have. However, I will just hope that Silsbee has some SMRJs in their bag to offset their disadvantage in the dunk department..

The thing is, Silsbee did not press Connally very much last night. More of a token pressure. Silsbee actually went to a 2-3 zone in 2nd half last night which really confused Connally. I wouldn't be surprised if you see that again today.

It looks that way, don’t it? The two teams with the best records playing the last game. Maybe not?

Even after they “gelled,” Washington is just better. Period. Better players, superior size, and Yates never gets creative with their schemes. BTW must have had 20 dunks or more in those games against the back end of that press. JY played as well as they could have at home in the second outing and still almost lost by double digits. Silsbee has a great shot at another trip to state tomorrow. But don’t get it twisted that BTW and Yates were basically the same team at the end of the year. Line em up and play 10 right now and BTW wins at least 8 of them. Future is bright for the Lions, but through next season, HISD belongs to Booker T.

Silsbee by 5

I think 2-2 tie

Booker T. Washington by 15 pts.

Yep, and if you take legal painkillers prescribed to you and show up impaired, you’re fired.

Final Beaumont United 70 Weiss 47

Beat down city!!

Pretty much agree with everything you said. I’m not saying B’boro can’t make a game of it, but it’s unlikely. The state championship was decided today.

Yes. We have a game thread that is being updated.

8-0 run. BU

Says Harper got a dunk

Yes. Maybe the smartest thing Beto has done. It’s a big enough issue that it will swing a serious amount of votes imo. I don’t quite get it but there is a faction that it really moves. Single issue votes akin to some pro-lifers.

Gotta press them, but have to try and stay out of foul trouble. If Jackson and Beavers get a couple fouls early it’s going to be tough for them to win.

They also have given up over 2100 points this season. There are many teams left in the playoffs that have given up far less. As long as you out score your opponent, that's all that matters. Be it 90-70 or 50-30.

absolutely. how big of a deal would it be if making alcohol illegal was on the ballot. Pot may not be that big, but it's close to that big. It's a huge deal for the majority of voters under the age of 40.

Let me start with this. I personally don't know Thorton in any shape,format or fashion(that I an aware of). Can't tell ya if he/she has been to one,every or any Jasper Bulldogs football games. I do know Thorton has made some positive and supportive post on Jasper threads and the one particular post you quoted then responded with a confrontational tone was/is a fair reasonable post. Cause I am gonna tell ya right here and now Jasper fans including myself at sometime wondered the same thing. You know why? for the very reasons you named. The words clout, success, and tradition . I even said myself that when your last name is synonymous with a coaching legend it helps in regards to getting jobs. to think otherwise is foolish. Yes,Darrell had above .500 success before he got to Jasper and had earned his own way. While here he won alot of games and stayed in line with the winning tradition synonymous (I noticed you like that word) associated with the Barbay name. Tradition,success, by default brings with it EXPECTATIONS! Four out of 10 seasons Darrell coached here in Jasper he had the young men to go farther than the 3rd of playoffs '13,'14,17, and 18(BTW, the Silver&Blue ended two of those seasons). Myself,(and to make it clear don't let my current ID fool ya, I have been around this forum a pretty good while. I used to be JasperDAWG but I broke some rules and was shunned for a period) and the handful of true Jasper fans who regularly post here have NEVER bashed Barbay if anyone come close it was probably me. Have we questioned some things he did, of course. Just like fans of WOS did to Coach T and that man did nothing but in 11 short years as Coach there put together a hall of fame career. Since Darrell left, and I remind you he left on his own on a Thursday to take a job and start the Tuesday following. Yet, us Jasper posters [or maybe nit wits as you say] have made a point publicly to wish him well. after this past season where in 3 games (so badly that other teams fans said they felt bad for our players) Darell Barbay basically conceded games. I had mentioned he looked like a coach trying to get season over with so he could retire Then look what happened. So all the Barbay family tree you spoke of and the success. Guess what? the Barbay member we experienced has a third round ceiling, conceded games(so it appeared in multiple seasons), and then leaves our kids(yes we parents as well) on what 4-5 days notice. None of which are synonymous with the Barbay name. So how and/or why come November(ironically the month Darrell could NOT get us passed) will you be telling us " I told ya so" ?
