BADSANTA

Pulling for the Hawks, but I think Indians by 14. I dont think Silsbee could have beat them either. Just being honest! They beat 5 or 6 quality 4A & 5A teams.

SteveNash until you and Sleepy speak up and stop joking around about playing golf. Keep those side bar comments in check! lol I ready to play after HJ loses to Cleveland tomorrow night. I hear ALL of their team is playing.

Aggie, I questionyou as well. You hide behind the truth! I know your the most noteable person from Silsbee since Mark Henry, but dont be scared to say something others won't agree with. It may sound stupid sometimes, but your best blogs are the ones where people openly speak their mind. I know I take it out of context sometimes but people like to debate! True Blue is a player hater and I hate player haters. So in return I player hate back on him. All fun and jokes.

DD Taylor was awesome! I grew up about right around the corner from him. He was also a good running back and baseball player

True Blue what has your team done lately??? This topic was started 3 months ago. We honestly could care less that Silsbee is no longer in the playoffs. I do feel for the kids, parents, and coaches. Life goes on. You on the other hand need to focus on weather or not Brookshire Bros. will allow you to work a 40hr schedule in order to keep that tin can you call a home paid up!

Tru Blue are you serious? Stallworth is better than anyone from you school in the past 12 yrs! Your a joke with that statement!

I'm my 31 yrs of living, I have seen Silsbee make 3 runs to state and several trips to the region finals. There is a very strong basketball tradition at this school but can't get over that hump.

Im pulling for the Hawks, but this will be a tough game for HJ.

Tell him to call me

I have 2 section 121 Row Q. Hope to see some of you guys there.

Ozen by 4 and Nederland by 10

Panthers by 3

Ill get you your 6 years like I said. They never finished 1st but were ranked that high. Silsbee finished ranked in the top ten 12 times in school history.

Not sure will have to check when I get home today. I think like 75/76. Not sure

82/83, 91/92, 96/97, and I know twice in the 70's. I have 4 news paper articles from them being ranked.

H vs Cleveland should be played in either Aldine or Baytown. Clevland has the excuses in the world because they know lose is on the way!

You got over or under? I got the solid 6 playa!

Silsbee has been ranked #1 about 6 times in the schools history of boys basketball.

Jones will play this game close!

Silsbee was very dominate as a 4A school as well Scooter. Go to the school and look at that wall. They went to state twice in 4A. They have a ton of district titles and made the playoffs every year but 1. Remember until like 199f, only 2 teams went to the playoffs. It was always Silsbee and Cleveland or Silsbee and PA Lincoln.

Silsbee has won 20+ games 26 out of 30 seasons. I think in the schools history they have been to state 5 times. With the talent we have had, you would think Silsbee would have 2-3 state titles and 8-9 appearances. Not the case. Playoff basketball is so different from the regular season. This groups that's about to graduate has been the most successful of any. They have been to state 2 times and have 3 district championships. Thats damn awesome to me! No other school besides HJ can say that over the past 4 yrs.

Yea I think both teams were over confident and the other teans brought their absolute best games. It seems Silsbee can't ever get over the hump in basketball. Some people talk about its coaching. IMO I think its a game of how the ball bounces. If state championships were given out during the regular season, Silsbee would have 20 of them!

The 96/97 Lineup had more talent with Lewis Airline, Holden, Cartwright, Andre Henry, T. Airline, and Hugh Davis.

Looking at the Silsbee program from last night, they have about 5 guys returning from this team but zero height. Not sure what the JV team looked like but Silsbee could go thru a slump for a year or so. Still a playoff team,but back to state could be a bit of a hurdle even more than this years team.

That years Starting Lineup was Donyell "Boo" Allen 6'4, Damion Bush 6'0 (1st Team Allstate), Willie Jones (played QB) 6'4, Russel Whitmore 6'5, Al Henry 6'2 (2nd Team Allstate). Silsbee also have 2 6'4 guys coming off the bench and 2 guards in Edwin Elam and D.D. Taylor who could play with the best of them. Donyell was a also a high jumper and Wille Jones played Football and ran track. All players in that lineup played college ball.
