SATCH JV has dropped out of BISD/YMBL tourney. They will be replaced by Pro-Vision. PV will play Ozen in first game.

Final PA Memorial 72 Fallbrook 68

They earned the #1 ranking because they had not lost and the #1 team did. Like ST413 stated, had Silsbee been ranked #8 in preseason, I highly doubt that Silsbee would be #1 right now based on what they have done so far thru just 4 games. Them starting out at #2 (based on what the team was returning from last year) helped them be in the position to gain that #1 ranking after Bridgeport lost. Pretty damn simple to me.

I can assure you, Silsbee's preseason TABC ranking of #2 was based on a full strength Silsbee varsity team coming back this year. Not what is on the court now. Them being ranked #1 was somewhat inevitable after Bridgeport (preseason #1) lost two games last week badly and this Silsbee "Lite" team has yet to lose. Just a case of "next man". From what I witnessed last night with my own eyes, Central had no business losing to this particular Silsbee team.

Yes. When Gabe gets to his office he will be sending me the score.

Knowing what they are missing because of still in the football playoffs, yep I was selling them short. Told Coach Sigler that last night. He agreed. Again I ask what's bigger. The Silsbee win or the Central loss? Lot's of folks in attendance last night were expecting a Central 15+ win. You can spin it however you want, Central was not suppose to lose to a Silsbee "Lite" team, no matter the ranking.

GREAT POST!!!!!! Agree 1000%!!!

I haven't but have been anxious to see. Just not last night.

Correct. I know this to be fact because the Bush's live right around the corner from my house. I have spoken with Braelon and his dad. He will be a Tiger next year, maybe sooner.

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.

Bush has told me himself he is coming back to Silsbee next year.

Scrimmage? We talkin bout scrimmages?

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.

We will be posting game threads so please post updates there.

Just exactly what are you reading? Here is Thursday schedule: Thursday New Gym Big Sandy vs Buna 1, Legacy vs Splendora 230, Big Sandy vs Legacy 7 Old Gym Kountze vs Hudson 1, Kountze vs Buna 530, Splendora vs Hudson 7 I see two games between 1pm and 7pm games. Remember, there is a girls tourney at the same time.

I am not touching this one. The estrogen will flow violently!!

Correct me if I am wrong, but based on what you have posted on this subject, it seems that Boyd's lack of scoring is the basis of your argument. Others are just trying to point out that scoring is not everything in being the best player.

FYI There will only be 2 games tonight. Combined 9th/JV at 6pm and Varsity at 7:30pm

Down to just needing these 3 tourneys: Little River West Sabine Apple Springs

Of all the 4A top 25 basketball teams, there is only 3 left in the football playoffs with Silsbee being the highest ranked team at #1.

The only 5 tourneys we need are the same one's they are needing. We both are needing Deweyville, Little River, West Sabine, Sabine Pass and Apple Springs

Brazosport is pretty good but not good enough to be beating the #2 team in the state. I saw Brazosport in New Caney tourney. Good team. Nederland beat them in that tourney.

Central Heights is a good 3A team.
