[quote name="BADSANTA" post="949321" timestamp="1295204328"] Aggie it doesn't matter where my donations goes. Neither you nor Tigervoice would want to get into a pissing match with me. Trust me dude. [b]I did stand up for 4yrs in college[/b]. I live for pissng matches.I stream has always been long range baby! [/quote] What does you doing stand up have to do with comparing one another's giving back to society? That's the pissing contest that I am speasking of. You are right, it doesn't matter except the one that should be coming to me, but it is not a donation, it's one paying off a debt. ;)

Santa, trust me, you do not want to get in a pissing contest with tigersvoice when it comes to giving back to the community or school. ;) FYI, tigersvoice was the Public Address announcer at the HJ/Silsbee game Friday night. He is the PA for all of Silsbee's home games. BTW, why would you ever mention of giving silently to SISD? It's never the point of giving to be acknowledged. (next time you feel like giving, give silently $1000 to the Sanchez Scholarship, I'll make sure everyone will know without you having to toot your own horn) ;)

[quote name="Wildcatter" post="949251" timestamp="1295193100"] [b]I dont think an up tempo game is your strength.  You dont have the guards for it.  I agree with bball, your best opportunity is the size factor.  The fresh has to learn to get his bigs involved as opposed to looking like aau.  He is good player for a fresh but the game changers are down low and he needs them if he is going to effective at all this year.  Also, the exchange kid needs to learn to use the size and take advantage of the mismatch he creates as opposed to standing outside.  [/b] [/quote] BINGO!!!!! This is exactly what I have observed in the few HF games that I have seen this year. They have the size but the overall guard play is not good. Teams that pressure these guys will have great success.

This is a top 25 ranking of all classifications combined in Region III. Silsbee the only local in at #18. Tigers also the only 3A team in the top 25, the rest all 5A and 4A teams. [Hidden Content]

Not hiring a basketball coach doesn't help for starters. Kirbyville had a good coach last year, but he left after one year, is not at Willis. They did not hire a replacement but instead asked for one of the football assistants to volunteer to coach the basketball team. Was told at first nobody wanted it and it almost came to a point where someone was going to be appointed (made ;)) to coach the team. Finally, Coach Vanya stepped up and took the team. Until they change the way of thinking over there and hire a real basketball coach, that program will suffer even more.

[quote name="ST413" post="949224" timestamp="1295188097"] Can't wait for round two! [/quote] I can. We got a tough one coming up with WOS on Tuesday, cannot afford to look past them. The Mustangs are playing some very good basketball of late. They will require all of Silsbee's attention come Tuesday night.

@ tu, I'll have to take the horns by 7. When the game is at Reed Arena, I'll take the Aggies by 5.

Just another breakdown of the game: HJ starters scored 51 points Silsbee starters scored 47 points HJ bench scored 5 points Silsbee bench scored 17 points Only 6 players scored for HJ All 11 players (Rhone did not suit out) scored for Silsbee IMO, Silsbee has the best player (Stallworth), but the starting 5 for each team is fairly equal. Silsbee's bench is their strength over HJ.

[quote name="ABSENT!" post="949208" timestamp="1295178165"] He is fine, and he has [b]chosen[/b] another career path. [/quote] Yes, I understand that he is in the real estate business. But, ABSENT, to say he "chose" another career path is not entirely accurate. ;)

SETXsports gets some pub on the highlight reel!! [Hidden Content]

Any more coach or player bashing will result in this thread being locked or taken down completely. I have edited some posts, so let's clean it up a bit.

[quote name="True Blue" post="948822" timestamp="1295111093"] Just curious, did they use TASO or UIL refs ?? [/quote] UIL

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="948817" timestamp="1295110790"] Regardless of when they did or did not get the fouls, it is totally different playing with foul trouble!!!! [/quote] Totally agree.

I was certain Persohn didn't get his 4th foul until the last quarter. I'll have to listen to the broadcast again.

Actually, to be accurate, only 1 of HJ's players had 4 fouls going into the 4th. The other two picked up the 4th fouls in that last quarter. But I understand your point.

He is the head coach, btw. [/quote] Thanks for letting me know he is the head coach.  I guess, in all my naivete, I didnt realize that.  Just posting an opinion, to which I believe I am entitled.  As for being naive, give me time.  I'll will keep reading on here and learning.  Who knows, perhaps the day will come when the enlightened will not consider me as naive. [/quote] I personally don't consider you naive. You know exactly what you are talking about, meant every word.

So, are you saying you are naive, or do you really believe Travis doesn't make a difference with this team? He is the head coach, btw.

Especially one with as much emotion as Williams. [/quote] Totally agree!!!!

But it's still missing personel, contrary to what you posted. ;) I am not that certain on the "operating in the same manner" but I agree the result would have been the same. ;D

The Hawks came to play but I believe our depth finally wore them out.  DC is very good and a lot of the plays he makes don't show up in the statistics. We hit our FTs down the stretch while the Hawks didn't.  Gus proved how good a PG he is. He seemed to find the open man at will.  When we made our run in the fourth, he was the only Hawk who seemed to handle the pressure. Bosha is gonna be a thorn in the Tigers side for quite a while.  I thought rebounding in the first half was big for the Hawks as well.  And when we would start a little run in the first half HJ would end it with a big shot.  One of those being a LONG rang 3 by Bosha.  Everything you could expect from this rivalry. [/quote] Just wondering if those "Silsbee is a 20-30 point better team" disciples still adhere to that contention. [/quote]Just goes to show you can win with talent even when your main leader is missing in action. ;D [/quote] Hmmmm Not aware of any missing personel for either team [/quote] I would say Silsbee not having Travis on the bench qualifies as missing personel. ;) Also. Silsbee was missing Rhone, a key backup, who was gone on a football recruiting trip. HJ still missing Anderson.

As far as the boys games went, Silsbee made a clean sweep tonight, 3-0. HJ  9th    36 SIL  9th    58 HJ  JV      40 SIL  JV      57 HJ            56 SIL          64
