[/quote] Yes is will! We hope to still be playing, but the show will go on even without the Rebels involved. [/quote] Thank you. Didn't mean to leave out the girls, but I assume the same could be said if the Evadale girls are playing for a state championship that day.

Question, if Evadale happens to find themselves playing for a regional championship that Saturday, will this all star game still take place?

[quote name="stevenash" post="1175461" timestamp="1328894313"] How do you think the gate receipts would compare? [/quote] More than likely would draw better crowds with more locals. I just don't see it happening because some of the smaller schools just do not want to play the local 5A and 4A teams.

YMBL has been trying to do this the last several years, but some local teams just refuse to play in it. The locals that played in the YMBL this season: Beaumont Central Beaumont Ozen Beaumont West Brook PNG WOS Nederland Silsbee PA Memorial LCM Also, North Shore played, and they are in our local 5A district. The "out-of-towners" were: Dallas Kimball Dallas South Oak Cliff Fort Bend Ridge Point Fort Bend Hightower New Orleans Perry Walker Lufkin Replace those six with these six: Hardin-Jefferson Hamshire-Fannett Jasper Kountze East Chambers Evadale It would then become more of a local tourney but the overall quality of the teams would take a big hit.

It's Senior Night at the Tiger Den as the #5 state ranked Silsbee Tigers will play host to the Orangefield Bobcats TONIGHT at 7:30pm in what will be the last home game of the season. Silsbee (21-7, 7-1), #2 in this week's SETXsports.com poll, defeated Hamshire-Fannett Tuesday night to clinch their spot in the playoffs. Orangefield (17-15, 3-5) took down Bridge City Tuesday night, 60-40, and the Bobcats are still clinging to hopes of getting in the playoffs themselves. Silsbee beat Orangefield the first half of district 79-54. Silsbee will be honoring it's lone senior in 3 year letterman and 2 year starter Kelton Gaines tonight. Broadcast time will start 10 minutes prior to tip off which is scheduled for 7:30pm. (time subject to change) Just click the link provided to listen to another Silsbee Tiger basketball broadcast!! ORANGEFIELD vs. SILSBEE, LIVE TONIGHT here at SETXsports.com!!!!!

HJ struggled (and did lose mind you ;)) with Silsbee this year because Silsbee is just flat out a very good team. Like bullets stated, that is a very poor comparison of HJ/Silsbee and Ned/PNG as far as the quality of the teams.

[Hidden Content]

In Silsbee's case, the past three seasons they were either the #1 or #2 ranked team in the area (SETX polls and other local media polls). I know it's just rankings but it does show that Silsbee has been considered the best of all the teams in the area the last 3 years. Also, Silsbee has defeated Central the last 3 times they have played and has defeated Ozen 3 of the last 4 times they have played. In fact, Central decided to discontinue playing Silsbee 2 years ago. It's all speculative as to how HJ and Silsbee would finish in 20-4A, but I have seen all the area teams play and I know of no other teams that are better in the area than HJ and Silsbee. If I had to say, they would finish at the top of 20-4A.

[quote name="ST413" post="1175114" timestamp="1328823237"] I can understand anyone who has to work or has young children.  I just believe these players deserve more support.  It is a shame to see some teams with crowds of [b]20-30 people.[/b] [/quote] I have seen less than 15 before in district games and these were 4A schools!!

[quote name="bigocat" post="1174738" timestamp="1328757235"] That schedule looks incomplete. NO JASPER. That just dont look right. [/quote] You are so right!!! It's just a shame that it worked out this way. BTW, this one wasn't on Silsbee. ;) (Jasper sup was very upset, called to apologize)

[quote name="Cowboys1981" post="1175073" timestamp="1328817522"] Does anyone see them winning more than 1 predistrict game next year. [/quote] I see Silsbee going 3-1 and at worse 2-2 in non-district.

Lamar will play La. Tech in 2013, Woodard said. Woodard said Tech increased payout to move game. He declined to say by how much.

[quote name="FanintheStands" post="1174975" timestamp="1328806832"] If Silsbee were to play Nederland, Ozen, or Central the way they played their [b]two games against HF or their two games against WOS,[/b] then yes indeed, they would have lost several of those games. But also, bear in mind, although HJ beat Nederland and Central, I was hazard to guess that Nederland and Central have improved much more since those earlier games than HJ has.  Those games would be neck and neck if played during district. [/quote] Two games? Let's see, the first game against HF was a 96-57 Silsbee win and the second game against WOS was a 79-54 Silsbee win. I see your point about the two close wins by Silsbee over HF and WOS, but not all 4 games.

[quote name="ABNINF" post="1174569" timestamp="1328734420"] Looks like the only change for Coldspring was losing Madisonville and picking up Huffman. Is that right? [/quote] Huffman has been in Coldspring's district for several years now. I do not know who they replaced Madisonville with but it is not Huffman.

The schedules show that West Hardin is hosting Sabine Pass tomorrow and then next Tuesday, the 14th, Hull-Daisetta travels to Sabine Pass.

[/quote] No more easier than for you to have looked at the schedules before posting asking where they were playing. ;) ::) [/quote] Ok you win.  From this point forward, if you pose a question, I will gladly respond with a point of reference rather than an answer. [/quote] Do what you want. I just like to show the appreciation and respect to our staff member WOSgrad for all the work he has done for this site by having that info provided right here on our site so that folks would not have to ask and be well informed. It's kind of like my teenage son walking into the kitchen asking my wife if we have any milk when he is standing 1 foot from the refrigerator. ;)

I will say this, I have seen enough basketball here locally and I have come to the conclusion that there is something about the word "playoffs" that seems to draw them out like flies on....... well you know. ;) ;D

BTW, the current line on the game is Nederland (-4).  ;)

[quote name="coachacola" post="1174745" timestamp="1328759296"] The Ragin Cajuns are looking for a 6th home game.  They were working a deal with McNeese but that fell through.  I think that would be just as good or better than a game against La Tech. [/quote] I agree. Get'er done Ray!!

[quote name="stevenash" post="1174734" timestamp="1328756647"] Is Humble a 4-a team?  Are they likely going to want to play a team in a lower classification for a warm up game? [/quote] Yes they are 4A and yes it could happen. Not saying it will, but there are other teams out there who are interested. I have come to realize that Coach Sigler has some pretty good contacts. I will not be shocked at all if he is able to lineup a team from the Houston area for a warm up game.
