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.

The next things that I predicted is that HJ and SIlsbee will NOT play again this year ( In other words, HJ will lose before they reach Silsbee again in the playoffs ).

And good luck to HJ with the rest of their season and getting ready for playoffs! [/quote] [size=12pt][b]HJ could have easily won either game[/b][/size].  Silsbee is certainly the better, deeper team, but HJ absolutely has the talent to beat this team.  HJ held a lead at the end of 3 in the first game, and a lead with 1 minute left in the 3rd in the 2nd game.  Silsbee's depth helped them pull away at the end of both games, but i'd challenge you to find anyone who saw either of these games who thinks there's NO way that HJ could beat Silsbee.  [/quote] This sounds too much of a Woulda Coulda Shoulda If HJ will beat Silsbee than it won’t be an easy task like you stated Can’t say that HJ could or will beat Silsbee because it has not happened this year Just Sayin’ [/quote]You obviously don't understand the phrase "Could easily happen".  All i was stating is that they were in the game, and if a few things break differently and they're 2-0 against Silsbee rather than 0-2.  Now, I've already said that Silsbee is the better team, but for this guy to say that HJ has NO chance to beat Silsbee is asinine, as HJ has aready held their own with them twice.

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. They wouldnt be acting this way if it was another school...abearsbear(cough, cough)...[color=blue]you can not get mad at us if we are not breaking any rules.

[color=green]Because there are 8 or 10 kids from Silsbee who get on those same threads multiple times a day, while spending no time in any other soccer threads.[/color] \[color=purple]There have been several legit threads that have turned into ridiculous Silsbee threads, including threads about the best players and the district champions from 37-4A.  Just because those threads were started by Silsbee people does not mean they are Silsbee threads[/color]

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.

Silsbee has been 3A for 7 years now, but only in 21-3A the last 5 years. HJ and Silsbee had always split their district games until this year. If the Tigers can win out, it will be consecutive out right district titles for Silsbee, which is a first for this district. [/quote] Interesting and also fitting. Like I said prior this is Silsbee's best team.  Hard to beat a team in the playoffs this team.  [b]They should win the state championship.[/b] [/quote] I think Lubbock Estacado has something to say about that. ;D I do not know if I agree that this is Silsbee's best team, but it is one of the best. Last year's team was pretty good. This team is a different type team. Better, deeper bench, much more speed and quickness. But we do not have two '6"7 players either. I'll hold my thoughts for later in the season about this being Silsbee's best. ;) [/quote]How many seniors does Silsbee have this year? What will they return next year? [/quote] Silsbee has 7 seniors, 2 juniors and 3 soph. on varsity. Four of the seven seniors start. (Stallworth, Lane, T. Barrett, Harris) [/quote] and yes, i'm looking forward to HJ being the favorites next year!

[quote name="Ruckdad" post="959795" timestamp="1296667443"] Win some lose some - like USC. [/quote] yup.  Texas would be favored over Duke right now, though.  Texas is peaking, Duke is falling off a bit.

Yup, it's Bailey.  She's better than some of the guy goalies in the area.

Hawk fans are going to be left with the same feeling after the last game.  We were equal for 3 quarters (better, the last game), but couldn't finish it off.  Hopefully we'll get another shot at this team in the playoffs!

Pretty sure Silsbee is on a 15-1 run.

[/quote] fading bc of fatigue? [/quote] I'd imagine.  Tigers have stayed fresh the whole game.  The Hawks rely mostly on their starting 5, giving them only short breaks or taking them out because of foul trouble.

Silsbee hitting every shot, HJ turning the ball over.

Wow.  Nice win for LCM.

Hawks down 10.  they're fading late, just like last time.  Both times the Hawks have given the Tigers all they could handle, but both times (assuming this lead holds up) the Tigers' depth has been the difference.

a quick 7-0 run in the last minute of the 3rd give the Tigers a 6-point lead.  dang.  but if i'm not mistaken, the Hawks were up 6 at the end of 3 last game.

Hawks up 1 with about a minute to go in the 3rd!

Prudhomme and Persohn with three fouls for the Hawks, Gaines and Lane with three fouls for the Tigers.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="959319" timestamp="1296616268"] Tech on Gaines! Huge missed foul on Prudhomme! [/quote] Sounds like they got Prudhomme as well.
