Final from Paul Cormier Field in Orangefield
 
The By God Overrated Silsbee Tigers 9, Orangefield 6 :P :P :P

Every Game is a big game in 24-4a! I'm hoping we bring the sticks like the last two game & play sound defense like we're capable of.

Tonight at Silsbee it was Sundgren vs. Bergeron. In Kirbyvulle it was Weyler vs Jones.....both great games.

Jones outdueled Weyler tonight. Two great sophomore pitchers

WHO CARES :huh:

I take great exception to your last sentence. Many of these boys that play at your so-called "NOBODY" schools play travel ball against the best in their respective sports. That is a very narrow-minded view that just doesn't make sense.

My guess is that Art Briles is a better evaluator of athleticism than anyone on this board.

Man I'm dying reading these comments

So Arnold, who is committed to Baylor, wouldn't stand out on Central's football team?  
 
And based on Central's guard play this year, he would have been one of Central's best basketball players.
 
If you can play you can play, I don't care what size school you go to when you are discussing the elite of the elite.

Play at SS was a freak play. No you are not turning 2 on Padgett( you just cant turn two on fast runners :rolleyes: ) But the call to give them 2nd and 3rd I would like to see in the rule book, cause I cant find it. Maybe you could help us DA from Silsbee understand cause that was a big momentum change in the game :D And yes the better team did win. We couldn't match HJ intensity

It was a great game. Pitching was solid on both teams.

That is why I never run down another team. Just try to talk about our team, and give our boys some recognition. Now, there are some posters for some schools that make you root against a team. But the kids didn't do anything. I try not to say anything that will make my son have to back it up. I had my time, now I just want to enjoy watching him have his.

So my only problem with this whole statement, made by ONE (1) Silsbee fan, is that pretty much all of these comments seem to be directed at the "players".
 
1) "HJ is seeing everyone's Ace and Silsbee has been able to reap the benefits of it...."       
     Last time I checked Silsbee Players don't make lineups or pick pitchers.
2) "Grow up and hit the ball better next game"..          
     Really??  If not for baseball gods, could you really guarantee a win?  Seems as though they were doing ok.
3) "why cant you just be a graceful looser instead of a whiner?.."
     One comment.  Now they are ungraceful losers and whiners.  Don't think it was a player who made the comment.
 
Quote the comment next time and address "that person", from which the statement was made.
 
Hardin Jefferson (8 Srs, 6 Jrs, 2 Sophs, 1 Freshman), sees everyones "Ace" because Silsbee baseball was not considered a threat.
So now that they, Silsbee Baseball (3 Srs, 2 Jrs, 5 Sophs, 4 Freshmen) with only 1 returning starter, might be a serious threat to win this District, they will see more "Aces".
 
So if I read this right, HJ Baseball players will get to reap the benefits of seeing the "lesser talented" pitchers that Silsbee has seen.
It is baseball.  Anything can happen.
I congratulate HJ baseball on the win, Silsbee Baseball Players, not fans, accepted the loss despite the situation described here.
