They are still much deeper than SP. When they play, after Jones and Sam, the next best 8-10 players in the game will be Rebels. Losing Mackey does hurt because he is so active and plays strong. But they will be fine.

Sabine Pass will be right there and probably has the two best players in the district. I would give Evadale an edge though due to depth.

Oh I didn't think it was intentional, except for one spurt when one of the three officials seemed to get his feelings hurt amd couldn't stop blowing his whistle. Baffling is a good word. Two things in particular. First, with the call I was referencing, it was apparent they didn't know what a moving screen was. Tarkington was wisely using that to their advantage but on that play, with the screener moving more like a football left tackle and blocking the defender, the defensive player used his hands to get around him and was whistled for a foul. The noncall was worse than the call and it was the most blatant moving screen of the night. Then in the game before, with the same crew, there was a call I'd never seen before (because it doesn't exist). One of the refs called a "defensive charging." When the coach thought he must have heard wrong and asked for clarification, the ref confirmed the call. I agree I don't think it was malicious at all. The problem was that 2 of the three in the crew obviously didn't even know the rules of the game. To be fair, they blew a couple of calls late against Tarkington as well. If you guys get equal or worse than that regularly, I feel for you. It was hard to watch.

Sometimes. Sometimes more like the old lady in that old commercial...

Absolutely. Keep plugging away. Definitely making some big strides. And I would imagine EC is getting pretty salty about now. Young team but it doesn't take Sutherland long to get his boys playing good basketball. Hall of famers tend to do that...

Seen a lot of bad officiating. This is the worst. Just called a defensive foul on an awful moving screen.

C'mon Santa. You're better than that. NFL vs HS basketball??

We know it's not rocket science. We know fatigue happens in basketball. I think what many of us found funny were the ones complaining about the games being too close together when you are as deep as Silsbee is, playing a pretty weak team for that tournament. You lost by a bucket. You missed 197 free throws. Maybe the legs might just have been fresh enough to make four or 5 of all those misses...

Some Silsbee fans seem to be a lot softer than their players. How many entire tournaments has Kelly won playing basically 5 guys only and having multiple games in one day?

Dang

Mixon is a POS and Stoops is a clown.

Maybe Jacquet will get some balls thrown his way. Never too early!!

I meant that would be close to what the score would be with 3 mins left.

By the way, Hope you got to go. I would have taken you up on that but had to be in DFW this weekend.

Mack, you gotta love the fight in these Aggies. Could have mailed it in against a pretty good Arizona game and almost came back to win. Wildcats missing Trier but that 7 footer from Finland is for real. Ags are going to be pretty good again. Hard for me to watch still because I sit there and think how good they would be with Caldwell...

They are good. You hit the nail on the head with "for awhile." You wonder how long they can withstand the pressure. I think the first half will be close.

No doubt. Interesting to see how close though. I will take those Tigers 88-65.

Preach!

Lol, maybe. We've been ragging Derek pretty hard but he swears he has nothing to do with ours. I'm sure the kids had some fun tonight. Always a good time going against your summer teammates.
