The freshmen #23 for Silsbee is going to be a VERY good player.  Hope he stays on Varsity for the experience. 

May have the wrong player, but who I thought was Jones is not suited up. 

6:00 or 6:30?

How many yards does Martin, Taylor, and Arline have rushing on the season?

84,000

I would consider this and next season to be rebuilding seasons for Silsbee. Saying that, they still will be district favorites and have a good chance to make it to Huntsville. Yates would definitely be the favorite out of the region. As for National tournaments, Silsbee did play in one last year. Maybe there weren’t top 10 teams there, but it was a good field. Hard to get a top 10 team to put a small school like Silsbee on their schedule...even if they did win state x2. 

Silsbee schedule looks very....empty

Seems to me that this many players moving simultaneously ought to be looked at for something more than academic opportunity.  Is it my imagination or are these types of situations becoming too frequent?  Doing nothing about it would seemingly encourage more of it to take place throughout the system.

Yates admin probably just communicates the situation better than other schools. 

This is very simple.... Silsbee has open enrollment, so ALL the top ranked basketball players in the area just need to transfer to Silsbee.

I’m assuming that the two Louisiana move ins (brothers) will definitely start. Heard that the younger one is even better than the older. 

Communications program must be picking up

Not sure where Braylon would play unless he left the area and went to an academy type school.

People seem to forget Silsbee was a game away from going to state before Braylon, Jordyn or Devon were on the team. Lost to a loaded Sterling squad.

Whatever happens, Tiger basketball will be fine in the long run.

 Jordyn and Devon have been to state as Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors. Winning two of the three.....misread your post. I see now.

I guess is there a factory, manufacturing planet, gas, energy, or what is the main market to influence such talent? 

Maybe they have a good communications program.

Refs better be in shape for this one. 

Wonder which group of refs will be there? The group in the Yates game yesterday let both teams play. Didn't bother with the touch fouls.....The group in  the Silsbee game called it very tight. Not real sure which style would favor Silsbee today.

Silsbee by 3 in overtime.  

The Tigers just aren't firing on all cylinders right now.  They still have the individual talent but they are a little out of kilter.  So nothing will be easy.  They are going to struggle tomorrow, and Yates 3pt shooting will be decisive. Silsbee will be behind by 10 or 12 going into the 4th quarter.  They will make a superhuman effort and tie it.  Yates will be kicking themselves for letting Silsbee come back and will be emotionally drained.  The Tigers, elated to still be alive, will take an early lead in overtime and hold on.

 

I disagree....Silsbee is playing great and will definitely be firing on all cylinders against Yates. Life Wax is the type of team that would have given Yates trouble also...guards that break the press, good 3 point shooting, and two good bigs that can get up and down the court. A fast paced game is exactly what Silsbee is waiting for. 

Yates and Silsbee each won their semifinal by 14. Should be another good one tomorrow. I'll take Silsbee by 9.

Time out Waxahachie, 4:31 2nd qtr 28-24 Silsbee 

There is a game thread

Yates wins 88-74

71-56 Yates after 3

Half

Yates 51

Connelly 35

Yates shoots the 3 well. Connelly guards can't handle the press. Yates big is a non factor. 

28-18 Yates after 1

17-4 Yates 

3:50 1st

Yates up 12-4 early. Refs letting them play.

Waco Connelly seems to always be around. Maybe they can break through and go just a little further this year.

I hope not. The Silsbee/Yates game is always one to look forward to.
