I'm picking Silsbee in the upset.

I see Mr McClure had 42 & 16 last night.   Friday will be interesting.  It is really tough to handle the waves of pressure that Silsbee throws at you for an entire game.   I expect Brock will perform admirably, much like I hear Boudreaux from BC did last night against the Tigers.  When you have seasoned, 3 and 4 year starters, it certainly helps.  
 
This game will be the one to watch.   Regardless, I think this is the 1-2 matchup most of us expected at the beginning of the season.  Hope both teams have a competitive, healthy game. 

There's an easy formula for frustrating and beating Silsbee this year.
Simply get a lead (any kind of lead) then slow the game down and run your half court offense. Only take good shots or attempt lay ups. Take a good minute off the clock each time if you really want to frustrate some Tigers. Run all of this through McClure, and maybe the Raiders will pull this one out.
Sounds simple enough in theory.
Whether or not Lumberton has the personnel to pull this off remains to be seen.
We start two freshman and two sophomores, so we are very young. We also have a lot of improving to do. I hope we approach this game like it's a win or go home playoff game Friday night.
 

Looking forward to this game! I’m 100% Silsbee, but I’m a huge fan of McClure as well. This is going to be a battle. I believe that Silsbee has the better team but McClure is big time. Lumberton has a couple kids that can hit open shots in the corner so if Lumberton can handle the pressure, I can see them making it a game. Plus they have a kid or two that are big football boys that bang inside.  Miller and Harris are big time as well, so we will see what happens. I do not see it being more than a 8 point game and I do not see it being a high scoring game. 

Congratulations on yet another great accomplishment Coach Prouse! 

Congrats, Coach Prouse.

He’s done a great job in Deweyville 

Way to go Deweyville and Coach Prouse.  Keep building.  

Congrats to Deweyville.  You deserve it and need it.

I think everyone knew/knows how good BU is. I think the hard pill to swallow is admitting Nederland was overhyped. They graduated 9 kids or something last year, one playing at A&M (playing solid minutes) this year. They lost all of their speed and ball handlers. They have a player in Jackson and a streaky shooter in Gipson. And then a bunch of average players. Probably finish 3-4 place in district. BU is talented and will make a run at the title but glaring point from this game is Ned being exposed as average team. Nice wins over WB and an odd game for HJ, that’s about it.

We're still knocking the rust off but definitely looking better every game!

Great win for Pirates, they are working hard to get better every week. 

I need to go see the HJ girls team. I've heard they are a solid ball club. 

The guy doing the kogt broadcast is top notch.  Excellent quality broadcast there. 

Isn't there a Watson on DV team? Pretty sure he's my kinfolk. Good season DV. 

Vengeance will be swift. 

Well, I guess this will be my last post as a proud parent of a Pirate football player...next year I'll just be a fan. I'm blessed that I was able to hold my son on the 3yd line as the pain of his first, true broken heart sank in. Yep, just like that...It's over. I'm so proud of these kids for what they worked their tails off to accomplish this year. It was the pleasure of my life to watch them work, compete and grow into an unbelievable young men. 
I love ya J-Bo #6. 

Congrats Pirates.   Great season.
