In the first game last night between Houston Washington and Houston Reagan, Reagan reminded me a lot of Silsbee. Fast, quick and athletic, with relentless man to man defensive pressure, but on the small side. Reagan defeated Washington last night after trialing at the half 32-17. Reagan was in the same district as Yates, finished runner up to Yates. Yates beat Reagan in district 92-60, 110-40. ;)

This was the second time I saw Yates play Wheatley this year. In the first game, Wheatley had every chance to win that game, but didn't. This game, they never had a chance. Yates dominated from start to finish. They were clearly the better team tonight. Yates has 8 seniors on the team. 3 starters ('6"7 Santee, '6"7 Ellis, '6"1 Hickey). 3 key reserves. The other two starters are sophomores ('6"7 Swift, '6"5 Washington). Yates has 3 soph. and 2 juniors on the varsity. Swift is a very special player. He will be tough the next two years. 21 total dunks tonight (14 by Yates, 7 by Wheatley) Yates soph. Swift had the most with 7. Was hoping for a better game, but still enjoyed it and  had some good company to enjoy it with. (WOSGrad, ST413, Dick Vitale)

[quote name="baddog" post="1181098" timestamp="1329694523"] In a three-way playoff, what are the scenarios for the non-winners.......what place money do they get and how does it affect the field who were not involved in the playoff? [/quote] The two "losers" in the playoff split 2nd and 3rd place money. The rest of the field starts with 4th place money.

Tenaha: [img][Hidden Content]] Angelina: [img][Hidden Content]] This is where Silsbee played at Saturday and will be playing Tuesday. Very much the same type facilities. Great preparation for the Tigers!
