Silsbee quit making shots, and haven't been able to set up their press. Glad you're here to troll. Knew we could count on you.

Tigers are struggling in their half court sets. 6 3-pointers taken, 0 made.

6-6 . Silsbee 0-4 from deep. They've taken about 12 shots to argyle's 3, but argyle is 2-3 from the field.

Tigers up 6-0. Argyle is getting wrecked by their pressure so far. Argyle with at least 4 turnovers already.

4-0, Tigers.

0-0. just started.

sure sounds like Silsbee travelled a lot better than argyle fans.

still announcing the lineups

just watched several minutes of his highlights from the season. he's something that Silsbee hasn't faced much since early in the year, which is a fast, highly skilled guard with the handle to singlehandedly escape the press, and he's a hell of a passer, too... it'll be fun to see him matchup against the tigers tomorrow, assuming Silsbee handles their business today, and that Heritage doesn't mount a massive comeback in the next little bit.

agree with you about the team that was down 25 at the half... hopefully you're right about brazosport.

saw this coming. Brazosport is good. going to be a real test for Silsbee.

looks like they've tipped. hopefully someone will update

this is disappointing to me this year. I was very interested in watching these games, but not $9.95 interested when I can listen to Mike for free.

I'm curious to hear your evaluation of these two teams.

Clarendon on a good old fashioned 36-9 run

Grapeland shoulda put it away

Halftime started 26 minutes ago. I'm assuming it's in the 3rd q right now

I can't think of any small towns that have multiple public high schools. Bigger cities do, but there's generally an obvious geographical need for them. It's not practical for a city the size of Beaumont to have one school, but at the same time it's not practical for a city the size of dallas to have an abundance of 3A and 4A schools a few miles apart from each other. it would take some common sense to figure it all out, but I'm sure something could be worked out.

kind of, but it's still a town of 2000 people. They're not going to get move-ins to play there, and if so, it certainly won't be like it is in dallas. In dallas, if you aren't getting PT at one school, these kids can just go "stay with family" and all of a sudden they're playing for a new school, and it may literally be a move of a couple of miles, if they even move at all.

I know this wasn't what you meant, but I think most 3A schools who have to face a squad pulling talent from a major city are going to face a pretty terrible matchup. I think of our local 3A schools, and the towns of a 1000-2000 (or less) people that they're in, with the tiny talent pools the draw from, and then I look at a school like Dallas Madison. Santa Rosa had approximately 2700 people during the last census. Dallas had 1.3 million. and while Madison does not have the full run of the city when it comes to their talent, i think it's safe to say their talent pool is infinitely deeper than the schools they beat to get here. It just doesn't set right with me for big city schools to play in 4A and 3A.

don't be a fool... the free throws they missed in the 1st quarter were what REALLY affected the game...

its a poorly written article, but it looks like they refer to his 3-pointer in two different places. one when they talk about it with 25 seconds left, and another later in the article when "grapeland had their chances to win in regulation, nursing a 3-point lead". anyway, who the heck knows.

I was hesitant at first, but Dak earned his spot as the starter

Wellington 64 Grapeland 61 OT AUSTIN - George Shrubs scored 18 points, including a 3-pointer in the final minute to send the game into overtime, as Wellington outlasted Grapeland 64-61 Friday in the Class 2A semifinals of the boys' state high school basketball tournament. Wellington (29-5) advances to Saturday's final to play Peaster (27-7), a 74-61 winner over Brookshire Royal in Friday's other semifinal. Shrubs' 3-pointer with 25.6 seconds left tied the game at 57-57. Wellington then used a 4-0 spurt on baskets by Larry Valles and Jason Wischkaemper to go up 61-57. Tarlus McDaniel scored to pull Grapeland within 61-59 before another Shrubs' basket pushed the lead back to four. Wellington could have iced the game from the foul line but went 0 for 5 from the line in the final minute of overtime before Nakia Nash made one for the final margin with 6.2 seconds left. Kenneth Barrett, who had 21 points, had a final chance to tie for Grapeland but his 3-pointer bounced off the side of the rim as the buzzer sounded. Grapeland (28-9) had its chances to win the game in the final minute of regulation. Trying to run out the clock with a 57-54 lead, Barrett was stripped by Valles at midcourt, who then missed his layup. Grapeland quickly threw the ball back down court to Tarlus McDaniel who was open under the basket. But McDaniel, who scored a game-high 23 points, missed the dunk, setting up Shrubs' game-tying 3-pointer. Wischkaemper scored 17 points and Nash 10 for Wellington. Kendrick Barrett scored 10 and had 13 rebounds for Grapeland. Nash and Valles, both 5-foot-9 guards, combined for 19 rebounds and 11 steals.

I did find a news article about the game and read about it. it described the missed dunk that would've put them up 5, but the article said he made the 3 to tie it with 27 seconds left. what am I missing here?
