SLD2012

I disagree. Silsbee wins the close games. Washington tends to lose hard, tough close games. That's why I stated that Silsbee kids are tougher, hard nose and Washington isn't. That was the difference last year.
I see it going the same this year.

2.1 seconds kountze has the ball

MAn you do not know what you are talking about then. They are all from Silsbee and have played together their whole life. Go check the little dribbler national championship pictures...

39p,11r,6a.  Gotta be #3. 

No team looks past anyone this far in the playoffs.

I think that’s about right.  I think this is probably the best 2 teams in the state playing for it all.  I think there were a couple of teams from that region who would have beaten Yates due to the Lions’ system.  This should be strength on strength. I expect it to be close and hopefully the Tigers pull away in the end.  Carter kids were saying they wanted silsbee.  Be careful what you wish for...

One problem with studying Argyle film, it didn't include footage of a 6'4 guard who handles the ball as an elite point guard. Devon can penetrate and get to the basketball anytime he wants to. Not only does he handle the ball well he's also a very crafty finisher at the rim a big man's nightmare!

My 2 cents? Find a coach who cares about the kids and works with the kids on and off the court. Do not fall for the hype of the "big name" organizations. Most of the coaches out here want to use your son/daughter for wins and throw them away after their career is over if they are not successful!  It is really getting ridiculous these days. It is all about hype and a status instead of kids getting better and staying loyal. IF A PLAYER IS GOOD ENOUGH, THEY WILL FIND YOU. No matter what team you are on, no matter what shoes you have on, no matter where you are from. Colleges will always talk to the high school coaches anyways....

Silsbee: self proclaimed state champions

I know that right, protect your kid! Don't know why everybody has it in for Silsbee kids. Most of the altercations where started by the other teams! 95% of Silsbee, WOS, LCM and every other school have well mannered kids but it's unfortunate that 5% make it bad for all the kids and the grown ups start labeling children or Silsbee or  Communities!

Awesome and well deserved experience for those boys.  As grad said, soak it in and enjoy!

Congratulations to the State Champs.!!

Congratulations, guys. They do a pretty lavish ceremony with these things. 
Soak it in, fellows. Memories will be made today!

It will be a grand time for these young men well deserved.

Good luck getting positive feedback on this they only wanna talk about the negatives when it comes to silsbee.

Marcus Taylor was the other and I think Mike Davis in track 1988!!

Actually according to the Texas high school power lifting association website Mark won 3 straight in 88,89, and 90 all individual titles.
However Silsbee also had 4 years straight of team titles in 93,94,95, and 96.

I talked to a guy that was on the Silsbee power lifting team in the 90's and he said five straight years of team power lifting state titles.

1988

Where does silsbee get all the basketball players from?!?

Homegrown... that's all they want to do is play basketball year round! 

I know there are many topics and news stories about the Silsbee Tiger basketball team......I just wanted to post my own "topic" on this forum because of how the Silsbee folks have been behind WOS 112% during the 3 year run at the football state championships. And also the 2015 baseball state championship. We might bicker and trash talk during the season but we're all SETX'ns. Silsbee just brought us ANOTHER State Championship to our little corner of Texas. Yeah, it might be  the Tigers first SC, but hopefully won't be the last. From a diehard Mustang.........GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!

Last but not least, thanks to AAW for bringing us the games.  You are a pro with the call and give so many of us a chance to follow games throughout the season.  You especially saved our bacon tonight when nfhs wet the bed.  And didn't even charge us $10 apiece.  I know I speak for many of us when we say - THANK YOU!!!!

Well, many of you had preached FTs all year long.  I know my guy Badsanta is constantly bringing them up.  I was pacing watching the final couple of minutes.  And I have to say Mr. Trajan Harris hit four HUGE free throws in the final minute.  And the Tigers needed every last one of them.  Personally I hope my ticker gets a break tomorrow (I can't imagine you diehards today) and the Tigers get an easier win.  Brazosport will play with them for a while but I think this team gets it done.  And I hope every last Tiger gets some PT as the Tigers pull away.   Tomorrow ends the drought!!
