Texas has been hot from deep, going 6-11 from deep.  Without three 3-pointers late in the half from John Roberson for TT this game would be an even bigger blowout.

[/quote] Would a Wednesday/Saturday schedule work better for soccer? [/quote] probably not, with church being on Wednesday.  What would work?  A spring schedule.

Silsbee has had a couple of letdowns in district, but the fact of the matter is that they're soooo much better than everybody else that HJ is the only team realistically capable of beating them in district.  Even if Silsbee plays a bad game and WOS plays a great game, I'd still expect Silsbee to win by a half-dozen.

All BISD events for tomorrow night cancelled.

I was at the HJ/Cleveland game last year, and i think HJ got preferential treatment: not because the refs were favoring HJ, but rather because they were pissed at Cleveland for having to look at their awful warmups.

Sutherland will come up with a master game plan to keep them off balance. Cleveland is easily destracted by hard fouls and the crowd. [/quote] distracted ;D [/quote] come on nash, you know he's typing from his ifone or blackbary.  ;D

[quote name="ST4life" post="960462" timestamp="1296741250"] I think HJ could beat Cleveland but they would have to play tough all 4 quarters to do it I’m not sure but Cleveland might have has some good subs / athleticism on that bench if so Cleveland might rotate like Silsbee and try and ware down HJ HJ might need to find away to keep their starting 5 fresh going into the 4th [/quote] I think that's a fair assessment.  However, I don't think Cleveland is quite as good as Silsbee, despite the rankings, which makes me feel like HJ should beat Cleveland, again like you said if they can keep their starting five relatively fresh.

if the weather reports hold up i'd expect to see several cancellations tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see.

I would be curious to see Bosha's stats for the season.  I know they're solid.

A team plays another team equal or better for 3 quarters two times in 3 weeks, and you come on bragging about how you "knew HJ had no shot at beating silsbee".  HJ put themselves in great position to beat them, not once but twice.  I'm not talking about Nederland playing a garbage game against PNG and the Indians having a flukey shot at beating the dawgs, i'm talking about HJ playing as well or better than the tigers for 3 quarters TWICE.  Now, i've already stated that Silsbee is the better team, but HJ has a decent shot of beating them any time they play, not "no shot".  Nederland has "no shot" at advancing to state.  Bridge City has "no shot" at making the playoffs.  HJ could beat Silsbee, and it wouldn't take a whole lot of breaks to do it.  That is merely the point i was trying to make.  I do like the comment "I didn't want to say anything negative until after the game until i could see what the score ended up being", however.  You'd think since you "knew HJ had no shot of beating Silsbee", you would've made your bold prediction before the games, rather than after they occured.  

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="960112" timestamp="1296684456"] Maybe we can get a Silsbee vs East Chambers game or vs Kountze for a warmup if either wins district. [/quote] wouldn't be a bad warmup for them.

Not sure what happened to your account, Tigger.  I assure you i had nothing to do with it.  As a moderator i can ban members, but i'm fairly positive that i can't delete their account entirely.

[quote name="SexyTigger" post="959986" timestamp="1296676406"] You make a valid point  8) lol I will try to stop the invalid posting, and I am sorry if I have disrespected you in any way, you actually seem like a nice guy. Anyone els would have banned us already. However, I do still think that if Silsbee plays well against Lumberton then we have a chance of winning  ;D [/quote] you've shown me no disrespect, and i have no problem with you.  there was one person who did, and he had to take a vacation.

[quote name="yourmom1239" post="959964" timestamp="1296675817"] Silsbee Soccer, though ridiculed on this site by many, has one of the key ingredients to a great team in anny given sport, teamwork and spirit. Regardless of a win or loss, the Silsbee soccer team is one to stick together through thick, thin, rain, or shine to build their teammates up. Isnt that what sports is all about anyhow? i believe that some on this site have lost site of true leadership and and sportsmanship (Silsbee students included) and why the game is played in the first place. It is not to win, get a scholoarship, or to rant on a public forum about....it is to learn to work with other people, learn about yourself and enjoy the game of Soccer. After all, It is not like the boys are being paid for their performance. I, honestly, have never seen such a lack of class from ALL people from ALL schools. There is a difference between school spirit and being completely inappropriate. This James Trabing for MVP has gotten out of hand, however has brought a school and team together. I speak for all of Silsbee when I say that even though we ruffled a few feathers, it was worth it. #3 for MVP! [/quote] this is what i'm talking about.  we've had this thread three or four times already.  i'll be merging it.

I'm not asking you to quit posting.  I have no problem with you posting.  What I have a problem with is that there are silly threads being started, and kids making 2,3, or 4 accounts to talk to THEMSELVES on these threads, and they're so silly that people are getting pissed off about them.  As i said before, from this point on, those threads will be added to this one.  period.  problem solved!  also, any legitimate thread that is hijacked will be a problem.  As for rules that have been violated by your friends: 2) ONE membership per person! Any caught with 2 accounts will have both of them terminated. Nor will we tolerate any member impersonating other members. If you have, for whatever reason created another account (or 2), don't panic. Just inform an administrator of the duplicates with usernames used and we'll take care of it. 9) Keep to the subject. Post to the section that is most appropriate for the topic being presented. 17) The admins and moderators here are volunteers. They dedicate a portion of their time to helping us with the forums. No abuse or disrespect of any of the admins or moderators will be tolerated. Now, like i said, i'm usually pretty reasonable.  I've banned two people from this site out of you guys so far, and one of them insulted me, and the other failed to delete all of his extra accounts after he had assured me he would do so.  Both of these issues could have (should have) been lifetime bans.  I gave one guy 10 days, and one 7.  So i'm really not trying to pick on anyone, but there are rules that will be followed.  More than anything I'm trying to avoid what happened last year when HF had about 10 people on here posting everywhere, and they eventually got so annoying and created and hijacked so many threads that the people above me on the site banned EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, even the ones who weren't too bad. 

[quote name="SexyTigger" post="959928" timestamp="1296674269"] Fair enough, but why would anyone ever tell you that they enjoy the posts? That is just ridiculous. If they enjoy the posts then they enjoy the posts, and there is no point in telling the moderator about it. Also people do not have to search to find real soccer posts. There are only like 5 new topics a week, and the 4 or 5 topics about silsbee are not causing any trouble to people that want to look at somthing different. [b]Plus, those people complaining to you just do not like Silsbee Soccer[/b]. It has nothing to do with us breaking the rules.

As far as i'm aware, he's certainly the most valuable freshman in the area.

Nobody over 6'2 as AAW said and HJ will have 6'2, 6'3, 6'3 and 6'6 starting!!!  To go along with 5'6 PG!!!! [/quote] HJ is taller than Silsbee this year and that doesn’t seem to be hurting the Tigers [/quote] yup.  but it will matter next year when Silsbee plays their one returning starter.  Silsbee will always be solid, but they're losing two players that they can't even come close to replacing.  HJ is losing a point guard that they can come close to replacing, and they'll fill Sutherland's spot with a mini-Sutherland. Also, imagine how good Bosha will be next year.  He's already been arguably a top-25 player in the area as a 14-year-old 6'3" freshman.  I'm really looking forward to seeing how teams in this area guard a 6'5" or 6'6" wing player next year who can handle the ball some, slash to the basket, and is silky smooth from deep.
