I know your son .. We've played with him... like I said not taking away from any of the kids. Most smaller schools have one main pitcher after that its tends to drop off.

Yes to many pass balls , wild pitches ,missed communication.  missed played pop ups.. 

Johnson was on tonight ... fb was live and offspeed was sharp .. defense played extremely well .. clutch hitting 

So silsbee is about to start their attack run for a third straight tittle. I hope they skull dragg every opponent in their way.

Silsbee       000 003 1   4 4 6
Nederland  101 000 0   4 4 3
WP: C. Johnson (7IP 7K 0BB)
LP: C. Kemp (5.1IP 9K 2BB 3HB)
Ugly win for the Tigers. Both pitchers pitched a heck of a game. Nederland was able to get runners on base early in the game but the Tigers kelp getting out of jams. Nederland started things off with a runner getting on base by error and moved around by another error and scoring on a RBI single by Hiltz in the first. In the third Nederland got on base again by an error moved over by a stolen base and scored on another RBI single by Hiltz. Silsbee was finally able to break Kemp chasing him out in the sixth with just one out scoring three runs on two bunts and two walks a hit batter and one error. Silsbee add to their lead in the seventh by a walk, stolen base, and a RBI single by Sundgren  and a hit by Scoggins. Johnson went the distance getting a ground out, a strike out an error in the outfield then he shut the door with a strike out to end the game. TigerNation!!!

Gotta love coach Davis calling a timeout so he can yell at the refs

I got Silsbee scoring 9 runs and Newton 0 runs. A good first scrimmage for the young Silsbee team to settle the nerves and get the butterflies out. You got to pitch strikes and swing at strikes and that's what Silsbee did. Only gets tougher from here on out. 

I bet he's still recruiting the summer circuits. 
There are elites levels of select  baseball that do not include "daddy" coaches.

Said he couldn’t play at the college level without the other sports. Injury, Burnout, and lost athleticism. I don’t know where you need to hear it from?

I think you will see a couple of those RB's play defense (secondary, OLB)

I noticed that for Silsbee Kevin Lightfoot, Dolen Keenen, Sterling Herrington, and Darshon Turk all made All-State for Silsbee. Congratulations to each of these young men!! 

No way it was the coaches ... sometimes you just have to admit we got beat by a better team. Coaches didn’t call for the fake punt ... I’m sure they didn’t ask for the fumble.. as far as the kicker he was hurt... just a hard fought game that we came up short on.  

Actually I am in Silsbee. I totally forgot about Christmas party at Country Club. As MGA president and club board member, I think I need to be there. lol

Yes and that was the issue in the prior game.

Good game Tigers both teams played their hearts out and Cuero pulling it out at the end. A couple things I question though. 1. Why did your team captains all walk away without shaking hands when Cuero tried too? Is that normal for you guys? 2. If you notice when one of your guys got hurt Cuero went straight to a knee. I know this is not a rule or anything but a show of sportsmanship. When our guys went down your players went straight over to the sideline like it was a timeout. Like I said I know this isn’t a rule but a show of class/sportsmanship. Good luck to you guys next year you have one hell of a team 
 

I hate post game forum talk.
Almost all of it is wrong when it comes to the details...
Whittington:
Blocked Extra Point
70 yd Wildcat TD Pass
2 PT Int Return for Safety
Stuffed Taylor on the 1/2 yard line 2 PT Try
And many more....
Big plays happened all night by him.
The fake punt wasn't a fake punt.  You should have heard the convo on the sideline afterwards.
Tigers lost a close game. Played their asses of and deserved a win but it didn't happen.  It hurts but it's facts.
Congratulate the players & coaches who were playing in the Semi's instead of down playing their efforts.
 

When silsbee dropped to division 2, I was glad that we would finally have some competition and be challenged in district. Early this season I heard Greg tepper on fox say that "silsbee was his dark horse to come out of our region. Even with the likes of 4x state finalist wos and perennial power jasper."
I filed that away in the back of my mind like most early predictions. Then after the losses both teams had in the preseason and jasper rolling over everyone. I thought there is no way. I had wos pegged for rebuilding and probably 2 or 3 rounds deep.
Then comes that 1st district game to basically decide the district championship. What a nail biter. I needed a nerve pill. But we pulled it off in the end.
Last week was a rematch against obviously 1 of our biggest rivals. We had a great win for our team and coaching staff. It's hard to beat a team 2x. But here comes silsbee again.
All week the weather and possible rescheduling loomed over the game. If it would have been saturday night at Lamar. The 2 programs could've put on a display of talent the golden triangle hasn't seen for years. And probably set an attendance record for provost umphrey stadium in the process.
But it didn't happen that way for a reason. The football gods had other plans. This was battle in the worst conditions possible. Equally matched, it came down to who made the fewest mistakes. Silsbee also made the most of their opportunities.
Now the task of continuing the tradition by making it to state. I always hope the team that beats us wins it all. So at least we can say we were beat by the best.
Also it would be nice to upset a defending state champ in a district game next year.

I wanna tell young Foster that...  When you line them up, give the hard count, if they jump, snap it and receive the free play.  They always don't snap it and look to the sidelines.  Been doing that all year...
