It’s a shame what has become of the Texans and the Rockets... at least the Stros still have a glimmer of hope. Although that cheating thing didn’t go over too well and Verlander is already done for the year.

I’ll add something here to stay on topic, I figured Silsbee would win but they went on out and dominated the game. I think they are just starting to hit their stride this season and I wouldn’t be surprised if they go far. I know nothing about Yates but people say they use a heavy pressure defense. I don’t see how you can have a more aggressive press defense than what Silsbee can apply without fouling everybody out. Should be a very interesting game, I think the Tigers keep it close if not pull the upset. One think is for sure, it will be a battle of endurance and Silsbee seems pretty deep to me. Maybe not Yates deep, I heard they have like 30 dudes on the bench... But Silsbee doesn’t lose much when they substitute, at least not on the defensive end.

Yates has a more aggressive defense, Yates will press for 32 minutes with a 18 Man Roster.  It's the only way they know how to play defense, give up easy baskets to keep the flow running up and down like a track meet.

Yes Yates was exposed in their game saturday.  By rules they are supposed to sit out 7 days and have to have a negative test after 5 days before participating.  From what i have been told HiSD has fought to move this game to friday to try to circumvent that rule and the playoff schedule to keep yates from having to use their jv and freshmen.  Now anyone knows that i am anti big city schools and what goes on there as far as transfers etc.  But i will say i hate to see this covid crap messing up anyones season, but the rules set should be what is followed.  No exceptions should be made.  Would it have been fair in our district to have let us reschedule our games after you were forced to forfeit yours?

I do believe your district has a rule that doesn't allow reschedule games during district play, "I could be totally wrong".  Rules are written to be circumvented and changed (College Sports, NBA, NFL, MLB) It's the America Way lol

The reason can be figured out.....

The UIL wants Silsbee to beat the brakes off Yates on the basketball court, Breaking News small town throws the hammer on the Big City Recruiting School  lol

I think Harris is very Adams like. He's lean and can jump and get to the rim pretty easy. He's currently a sometimes good 3 point shooter as well. You better look out if/when he gets bigger and better.

Miller isn't really McCain like at the moment. He's more blue collar and not very flashy. Nothing wrong with that as long as it gets the job done. Also, unlike McCain, football will be taking up a lot of his time. Not sure if that will affect his b-ball game at all or not.

 

ANNOUNCEMENT! 
Basketball Game changed to Friday at 5:30 at Dayton high school.

Silsbee Tiger Nation Twitter Page indicated the following "Stay tuned for Silsbee Basketball Area Playoff rescheduled. Dates and times will be posted as soon as they are finalized'.  Don't know if this is accurate or just Twitter Talk, it was posted at 10:35am this morning. I have not heard anything from Yates about rescheduling the game.

Yates by 16

Turnovers will be the key to the game, team that cuts down on the turnovers will be in good sharp and Free Throws

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.

Your prediction on the game Sir ???

Safe travels.  Thanks for coming down. 
 

By the way, the Yates by 16 I can buy.  I haven’t been able to see the Lions this season and only really know 2 of your kids’ games for sure.  I would say Yates by 9 but that is a complete guess, other than looking at scores.  If the youngsters from Silsbee catch fire they can make it a game.  If they cave to the relentless pressure, could get ugly.  -9 is just a hedge. 

Don’t fall prey with the final score from Yates, end of the first qtr Sat it was 31-11 then Coach Wise plays with the line up through out the game. It’s no secret Yates will pressure the ball and Chuks will guard the paint. I observed a few Tigers tonight breathing a little heavy, it will definitely be a track meet Thurs

Man I'm just glad to see a Silsbee-Yates game.💨🏘

Yes Sir, I second that. I have much respect for the HC and fans at Silsbee 

Driving home from Beaumont to get my popcorn and coke ready for these predictions on The Silsbee vs Yates Game

These days those schools don't have a chance unless they find a coach who knows how to hook it all up.   Houston smaller school basketball is mostly warm up for the playoffs time for Yates.  One exception could be Stafford.

Those schools are located in The Big City with a large population to choose from and 5A with Wiltrip & Sharpstown, 6A Heights
