[quote name="RedBird5" post="716706" timestamp="1259038375"] Prentice Lane? [/quote] Yes, Prentice Lane, the districts leading reciever may be the QB next year for Silsbee. We will see.

[quote name="SHSTIGER" post="716677" timestamp="1259037203"] I assume McDaniel will get the first crack at qb. Will we still work primarily out of the shotgun set? [/quote] It will be a battle at the QB spot between McDaniel and Lane. McDaniel is the better runner, Lane the better passer. It will be interesting to see who wins the spot.

[quote name="whsalum" post="716693" timestamp="1259037898"] Spurger won't see another club like this once district gets here.This will help them get ready for the long haul.I was afraid depth may be a problem for the pirates.It's a crying shame to have a club as good as Cleveland and have zero fan base. [/quote] I beg to differ, whsalum. I say Spurger will face a better team than Cleveland on Jan. 12, game before district starts. That's when the Silsbee Tigers will come to town to play the Pirates. ;) ;D

Spurger just had no answer to Ced Reed, the '6"6 260 lb post. Reed with 34 points and 15 rebounds was the catalyst while Ross hit 3 three pointers late in the 3rd quarter to break the game open. IMO, Spurger wasn't agressive enough against the press. Also, it doesn't help when one team plays 9 players compared to just 5. Spurger has a very good starting 5 but they have zero depth. As for Cleveland, their starting 5 are very good but their bench is nothing to brag about. Talent falls off pretty quickly from their starters to their reserves.

[quote name="SHSFAN" post="716486" timestamp="1259020861"] Congrats to all the players!  But a special congratulations to all the Tigers on this list! I cant wait until next year!  The Tigers have a bunch of 1st and 2nd team district picks returning.   [/quote] Silsbee has 16 starters returning with 13 of those being All-District picks, 7 on 1st team, 6 on 2nd team.
