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!

[/quote] Only one out of HJ/La Vega will make it to Huntsville! [/quote] Incorrect. Both teams can reach the regional tourney. They would face each other in the regional semi-finals.

Last time Silsbee played Coldspring was in the '09 playoffs. Silsbee      79 Coldspring  58

[quote name="captredass" post="1180982" timestamp="1329669106"] Looked good first quarter, maintained second quarter, but lost momentum second half, like they lost their spirit. Coach should stay with his sub rotation that he used in the first (all of his big men), that looked the best. I see frustration setting in already for the team. If he presses then go with the smaller/quicker guards. Guards in his second and fourth quarter rotation continue to get beat off dribble (all year), has to have help defense everytime, makes for a easy pass and score and/or foul. Guards shooting weak except for Gilbert, they often shoot before the post are able to get set to fight for the rebound, this makes for a one shot and sprint to other end game. I seen the same thing vs. Navasota second round last year. I hope the coach gets it together,[b] I would like them to play Silsbee at least one time.[/b] [/quote] Just what do you mean by "at least one time"?

[quote name="GoGetta56" post="1180971" timestamp="1329667742"] I wish Lumberton could trade places with silsbee in district , 20-4a basketball would be awesome [/quote] Nothing wrong with 21-3A.

[/quote]I'm thinking this game should be played at Angelina College...  ;D [/quote] I have no problems with that. BTW no-look, those two Houston brothers are pretty good, particularly Zebo! They just don't have enough around them.
