Yates beating Silsbee by 16 is possible. I hope it is not more.  I mean, JJ Watt is gone, Deshaun Watson is as good as gone, Springer took a big payday (and tax hit) in Toronto.   Ain't too much more the sports world can do to me.  Bring it.

Been a while since you seen Silsbee play basketball, huh 😒
 
22-4A put quite a hurting on 21-4A this playoff round. Only Huffman Hargrave managed to survive.
 

It is starting to seem obvious that BC played in the tougher district.  If Silsbee wins tonight, proof is in the pudding. 

They score more points than those teams.

An people tryna convince me Lumberton will be good after he leaves he’s literally won this game by him self 

It has everything to do with a different time/different place. In years past where you didn’t take 4 teams to the playoffs a good runner up team stayed home. Now days a very average team can make “playoff history “ when in fact there might have been better clubs in “school history “ that didn’t make the “playoffs “.

Vidor Senior night at Pirate gym, last time chewing out the refs and questioning the coaching decisions for me lol. I’m going to stay off the phone and take this one in, in all it’s glory. There are plenty of Silsbee fans here to give updates, this might be a long night for the Pirates. First time playing the Tigers in full force in several years. I don’t remember ever seeing Vidor play Silsbee (the real team) in the 3 years I’ve been watching Varsity basketball. That’s probably a good thing with the teams they had, although I would have liked to watch Bush and squad. I’m taking Silsbee by 17 tonight, so maybe I’ll get one prediction right for the season.

I broadcast the first Lumberton/Silsbee game this year. I spoke to you. You were being too loud sitting by my table. Then promptly got removed from the gym.
I think most folks around here (including the area coaches) will tell you I get around and see lot's of games.
I see way more games in this area than you have and that is not an opinion. That's a fact. Just ask your Coach Mitchell

Your statement of the officials that do 22-4A games being the worst you have ever seen causes me pause when considering your "expertise". They are not the greatest by no means (some of the crews in the chapter are really good), but they are certainly not the worst. I have been around this area for many years watching and broadcasting games. I have seen much worse.
Knowing that you have been "kicked out" of a couple of games kind of tells me all I need to know.

My personal opinion is that this particular incident should be treated as an altercation that occurred on the floor, regardless if it occurred before, during or after the game. Punches was thrown on the court.  If the altercation would have occurred in the parking lot, law enforcement would have gotten involved.  Coaches, and players should be held accountable for their actions.  If the UIL doesn't respond to this incident with suspensions it may open the door for players to just wait until the end of games to seek their revenge.    

I was also informed from a person at the game that a player from HJ landed a few punches on a player from Huffman, also fans from both teams was on the floor. I can't wait to hear the decision UIL hands down to HJ & Huffman

Wonder if The UIL will get involved to determine if any suspensions are issued or will they leave it up to the school districts.  Let's see how quick this little brawl gets swept under the rug. 

First round suspension for a fight following a seeding game to determine who you play in the first round of the playoffs would be pretty ironic. 

I’m pulling for WOS with the upset 

That’s what I’m thinking. It was just a seeding game you’re still co district champs 😂

Bad choice of words. I meant the easier first round game. 

They are selling tickets online only, but HH creates a super spreader by storming the court after winning a seeding game.  Geez Falcons, act like you’ve been there before. 

HJ may have the easier route. 

Final
Huffman 39
HJ 38
Fight after the game involving fans and players.  This is what someone at the game text me, can someone verify this incident 

Such a young team, I don’t think a Sr started, 2 FR, 2 Soph, 1 Jr. You know they are going to make some noise in the near future. If they play the way they did tonight and show no mercy, I wouldn’t be surprised if they make noise this year. I don’t see how teams deal with all that pressure unless you have a couple of guards who can handle it or if the refs take over the game. 

Well a few things that night 1) Lumberton played about as well as they could.  2.). It was only our first or second game back after 2 weeks of being out for COVID.  And 3) we did not full out press and trap until that 4th quarter.  By then it was too late.  All in all the way the teams played that night no question Lumberton should have won.  They played their best and we didn’t.

This team was never going to be as good as some thought.  They had some kids that like to put it up and are streaky scorers.  But they were fools gold.  Much like the coaches poll on who would be playoff teams before the season, I scratched my head on which half of the coaches last season voted for the LCM kid as offensive MVP vs McClure (they tied). Those two aren’t in the same hemisphere.  
 
The good news for Bears’ fans is the best player in that school district is in 7th grade.  Not sure if they won district but I know they had a battle of undefeateds against Silsbee a few weeks ago and the Cubs won.  That kid has the goods and will be the best player to wear the green and gold in quite a while.  

Not everyone because most couldn’t give 2 rips about 6th grade basketball 😂

The Pirates have found something good on the defensive end using #12 to play ball denial defense on the other teams best scorer. Locked up a BC scorer, LCM #0, OF #14 and even McClure had a very low scoring game. Combine that with shooting it better and actually making free throws, Vidor has been able to compete at the end of the season. We will think back on losing a late lead at LCM and getting beat by a buzzer beater bomb at BC. Not to mention the Covid forfeit or they might still be alive. I was expecting to see OF use a full court press defense with one of Vidor's guards limping around the whole game but they stayed patient and played back. Didn’t work out, they just missed the shots that they usually hit tonight.
