In comparison yes. But you stated it was a close one and not referencing to past games. Just that it was close.

Scores that year were 72-61 and 64-46. Tigers were basically nothing but freshmen and soph. that year. I guess BC peeps would call those scores close.

I wouldn't say Silsbee was "way down". They did make it to the regional finals that year (lost to Huffman by 4). They were just very very young. Freshmen and Soph.

EC usually is just getting their team that week after football has ended. Coach Sutherland does not schedule any games until football season is over. 85% of his team comes off the football field. So he tries to just ease his team into the basketball season. He hosts his own tourney later in the year which normally has good teams and this year he went to a tourney in Louisiana that had some good teams. I don't think EC's schedule is weak. Some coaches who are just getting their team after football don't want to throw them to the dogs right off the bat. Only coach I know of locally that does that is Coach Sigler. But he knows his team and what they can handle better than anyone.

Spurger is a basketball first school. They do not play football. If you are going to call out EC for playing in the Evadale tourney, then why not call out your own 4A BC team along with 4A Jasper? 4A playing in a 2A hosted tourney. Looking at what teams played in the Nederland tourney, BC and Jasper should have been in that tourney as well. The only school smaller than EC in the Evadale tourney was Evadale. Every coach has his own philosophy as to what kind of schedule is good for his team.

I have no clue. My post was more of a joke but also off what lot's of people from that area have told me over the years.
