State Champs 17

I see that and raise you a Bush and Jones for Silsbee.

Yall had no answer for Grubbs though. What if Adams and Maze put together decent games in Sour Lake !! They could be the wild card in the next matchup and it can get ugly real quick.

Only downfall of tonight is not having that killer instinct. Good win Silsbee, but we gotta learn to put teams like that away. Great job to the HJ coaching staff. Had them prepared and almost pulled it off. Hate to see parquet hurt. He is a great kid. Can't wait until the next game. 

Tigers win 72-62! 
 
TIGERNATION!!

I knew I should have called in sick....DANG IT!!

Lol Silsbee 73 Central 70. LMbo!

Silsbee still has not had a full team practice since football season ended please lighten up mr sports junkie they are still trying to gell Lufkin beat silsbee in silsbee last year this was a good mental come from behind win on  the road against the #23 ranked team in 5a ,they took a step in the right direction tonight yates is ranked in 5a also when they beat Lufkin by 10.

I'm hearing some Lumberton kids are driving up to Tyler to support our Hardin County neighbors 

All I know is what I am told. Silsbee has asked Ozen to play the last couple of years. Ozen has declined for whatever reason. They are not scared.
But, I do know this to be fact. When Carrol Thomas was sup, he did instruct his basketball coaches that if you are going to schedule the likes of Silsbee, HJ and Kountze, you best beat them. Otherwise, do not schedule them. Got that straight from the top.
Scheduling has lots of variables. Sometimes the dates just do not match up.
All I can say is that Silsbee has asked to play Ozen in a regular season game.

Everyone is sugar coating it ,no it was terrible for Central. Reason being no matter who Silsbee had 3 freshman should not beat a senior laden team team. Yes Silsbee frosh are good along with the 4 others but when you line it up ,you say yea itll be a good game but i expect Central to win it. Silsbee has more natural basketball players, period. Will Central be ok of course but these types of losses can do 2 things make or break you. Its all good when your winning but the minute you lose well you know how it goes

You are wrong. Silsbee has defeated Ozen a few times over the years. I remember just a few years ago a Silsbee team beating Ozen 65-40.

Not sure what is bigger. The win for Silsbee or the loss for Central.
BTW, the 3 freshmen won this game for Silsbee.
Tigers were down to just 5 players with 3 minutes left in OT. Grubbs and Tanton had fouled out and Harris was out with severe cramps. 3 freshmen were on the floor for Silsbee at the end.
Adams scored 24, McCain scored 21.
Silsbee "Lite" is a very good team that is missing their muscle (the football players who are the bulk of their rebounding and defense with some inside scoring) Central killed Silsbee "Lite" on the boards and defended the basket very well inside. Tigers were 10 of 24 from 3 point line and 19 of 30 from the FT line.
Gabe, Silsbee is without 8 varsity players, 3 of which were starters last year and 2 that were main contributors off the bench. Those players will provide this current team with more depth, experience and strength.
Silsbee "Lite" got the #1 state ranking yesterday and tonight just validated it.

You Carthage fans need to understand something. Every team fan base has one and Badsanta is our "one".
Please be considerate of this fact and continue posting.
I really do appreciate you guys coming over here to this site and posting here. Thanks
I only wish I could return the favor at Smoaky.

Some of your comments have me wondering.

Silsbee Lite Too Heavy for Fun Size Central

Silsbee lite came to ball!!! 

I'm telling you they got Heart.

How bout them SILSBEE TIGERS!!!

I have no issue at all with a Carthage fan claiming they will win Friday night. I am ok with Carthage fan stating they will win by 7-10 points. It's the ones stating Carthage will blow out Silsbee and the Tigers don't belong on the same field as the Bulldogs that I take issue with.
Like I have said before, have no problem with confidence in your team. I love it. Just don't like it when that confidence is over the top which comes off as very arrogant.
No denying the history of Carthage football. Much much better than Silsbee and that has been proven on the field the last two times these teams have met. I just think it's not that relevant in this particular game.
This is the best Silsbee offense I have ever seen (been watching Silsbee football since 1971). I like the Tigers chances in winning this game.
Carthage is the favorite, just not the overwhelming favorite that some are stating.

Back in 2009, Jeremy Johnson made a 75 yard TD run to bring the score 35-34 vs Navasota. Silsbee missed the Extra point and lost the game. That team was very very good as well. That is the last Silsbee team to beat WOS. 

You just scored a TD with no time left on the clock and are down by one. You just drove 75 yards in one minute and ten seconds. The receiver who caught the ball was blanket covered and just out jumped the defender and caught the ball by his finger tips. You have one of the best offensive teams in the area. You don't put your season on the line kick an extra point. You put your season in the hands of that offense. If they make it (which we did) great, if we didn't I'm ok with that too. If we didn't make it I would feel better knowing our offense got stopped and not that we missed an extra point. We made it so on to the State Quarterfinals. Tiger Nation!!! Go Tigers!!!

Tigers fans should be super busy supporting the Tigers this week basketball against bmt central and football against Carthage what a sports week for tiger fans

The decision to go for two was Dontre's. He came to the sideline and said "give me the ball". The rest is history.
The Drive, The Catch, The Two Pointer!!!!
Tigers to the next round.
 
oh, and Silsbee stays "Lite" for another week.
