[/quote] Thanks again for your coverage of the game. HJ played a good game and we wish them well....hope you will be covering the next game. [/quote] No problem. Great to finally get to meet you in person last night. I hope to be at the next one as well. Silsbee still has some Kashmere business to handle first.

That's what Silsbee just did! Not smart...now instead of getting beat by 30, Yates will likely put 45-50 on them!!  ;D [/quote] Honesty, that's what I was thinking (disturbing a caged beast with a twig).  [b]Silsbee shouldn't have done that, IMO[/b].  But then again, just imagine how amazing it would be IF Silsbee would pull off the upset after all the jawing? [/quote] Shouldn't have done what? You state this like Silsbee instigated the jawing. That was not the case. The players just refused to allow Yates players come over to them and try to intimidate them. Silsbee players were just jawing back.

Both coaching staffs and school districts do agree that the game needs to be played at a facility that will keep from closing doors due to over crowding. This limits the locations. I was told university facilities are the locations that will be considered now.

[quote name="jkbtjc53" post="1377711" timestamp="1361511510"] Silsbee wins. We'll see you guys in huntsville [/quote] I surely hope so. That would be awesome. We need a rubber game anyways to settle things. ;)

1996 Silsbee lost to Chapel Hill. Silsbee was 31-0, #1 in state in 4A and #19 in USA Today National poll. One of the most embarrassing losses in Silsbee history.

Also, it is Wise being belligerent about where to play. Silsbee is not backing down. I do not consider that being "not smart".

After the game tonight, Silsbee's coaching staff and Yates coaching staff negotiated for around 30 minutes trying to decide on when and where these two teams would play if Silsbee wins tomorrow night (Yates and Kashmere already have an agreement). Nothing could be worked out. They are scheduled to meet tomorrow morning to hash it out again. I was privy to some of this conversation and the biggest hurdle seemed to be with Coach Wise. He is refusing to play Silsbee at any place that Silsbee has played in recent time, including last year. Silsbee offered to play at Sam Houston in Huntsville but Wise refused stating that Silsbee played there last year!! Wise wants Silsbee to play in an HISD facility, even tried to say that Yates has not played at Campbell Center this year but Sigler corrected Wise on that telling him he actually watched Yates play there this year. Wise then remembered. Silsbee wanted to flip for home and home with Lamar's Montagne Center being their home court. Wise refused. Also Wise wants to play the game next Monday night and not Tuesday. Silsbee does not want to do that. Not sure what is going to be agreed upon. I think it will come down to a coin flip. Also, there was another Silsbee/Yates head butting tonight. A few of each teams players started mouthing to each other during all this negotiating. Someone pointed out to some Yates players that a few of the Silsbee players were standing over in a corner and they went over to them and the two groups started mouthing. It was quickly broken up before anything could escalate. If Silsbee can come out with a win tomorrow night, next week's game with Yates (when and wherever it is) will be quite interesting to say the least.

Final dunk count was 16-1, Yates. I am chowing down some Whataburger, and then I will post final teams stats and some comments. Also, after the game tonight, Coach Sigler and Coach Wise got together to try to work out a place to play if Silsbee wins tomorrow. After about 30 minutes of negotiating, neither could agree on a place. Will meet tomorrow morning. I have a few comments coming on that subject as well. ;)
