Yep...  Real lucky!!!  Let's hope it happens again Tuesday!!!

You are right it only takes 1 inning ... but we are talking about a series and with Silsbee pitching staff healthy and the offense putting relentless pressure on teams ... they will be hard to beat .. 

Whoa! Pump the brakes a minute CardinalBacker. I'm as big a fan of BC baseball as anybody but I can't follow you on this one. First off you need to be careful you don't anger "The Great and Powerful Homer" because his wrath will be swift and all encompassing if you get my drift. On a more serious note you have to give respect where its due and Silsbee deserves that, they have a dang good squad. To make the claim that Silsbee is only ranked because they beat BC is comical to say the least and in no way near the truth. The simple truth is that this ultra young BC team has far exceeded their initial expectations. Nobody who was honest with themselves would have believed BC would be where they are right now and that's a testament to Coach Landry and the staff sticking to their program and making the most out of the young talent. Right now it's just time sit back and enjoy this run by the young Cards because the future is ridiculously bright. By all means Silsbee should be the prohibitive favorite in the series and they should be. Silsbee, along with the other schools in the district, should enjoy this brief opportunity to "kick em (BC) when they are down" because that doesn't happen very often and will happen even less in the coming years. This series, along with the OF vs WOS series is a tribute and testament to quality of baseball played in our district. Hopefully all the games will be as advertised and one of our teams makes it to Austin.
 
Prediction.........
My realistic judgement says Silsbee.
My heart says BC.
 
Enjoy it all!

Good thing yall have seen it twice for sure.

BTW, Silsbee won flip to get 3 game series. BC wanted a 1 gamer

Best of 3 
7pm Thursday @ Lamar 
2pm Saturday @ Lamar 
game 3 if needed after 

If true #1's go up against each other, then game 1 will be a toss-up. Low scoring and 1 or 2 run ball game.  Regardless of 1st game outcome, Silsbee advances.  Just too many bats and too many quality arms.

4A Area Baseball Silsbee vs. Huffman at Texas Slam in Livingston G1: Thursday, 7 pm G2: Friday, 7 pm G3: (if necessary) Saturday, 2 pm

3 Game series Silsbee vs Huffman 
In Livingston Thursday Friday Saturday 

According to some, Silsbee beating Jasper.

That is definitely huge; Carthage is always a perennial power.  VYPE had Colmesneil as a top 10 contender and they were beat in 2.   Orangefield is really playing well, and beat a quality ranked Hudson squad.

Let's all sing along....  "The wheels on the bus...." 

Heard the HJ AD wouldn't let the JV suit out and travel with the team.  Man what an opportunity to build some momentum with your program.  You think he would've denied the JV players in football an opportunity to suit up at NRG? You're already taking a bus, what's a few extra burgers on the way home going to cost?  Maybe there is a legitimate explanation, and I sure would be interested to hear the rationale.

What a great game to watch.  Great pitching, with one exception for both sides, great defense, in game adjustments...etc.  By far the best game I have seen JD throw,  had great command of all his pitches.  Trevis battled all night and made huge pitches when he needed them, just as he has time and time again for those of us who have had the privilege of watching him for the last three years.  Hats off to both teams!!!  Silsbee will be just fine... lost 4 games all year by a total of 4 runs.  Said it all along... Games 1 & 2 are not near as important as the coin toss and games 3,4 & 5!!  Hoping for an all SETX regional final!!!  Good luck to all D22 teams!  Let's go represent!!!!

Should have let that marinate for a little while!!!  Lol

Should have let that marinate for a little while!!!  Lol

The Stangs will be TOO full of birthday cake and DC punch!!!
Silsbee 7
WOS 3

Just FYI.....
 
Iowa Park was #1 in the state at that time, Huffman was ranked #2.
 
Everything Walldrill says is correct in his earlier post about match ups. You (Kj dad) are also correct that any given team can be beat at any given time. Teams that are able to control their own path in the playoffs absolutely look for the best route. Those teams that are not able to control their destiny just take what's thrown at them and do the best they can. (WOS state run a few years ago is a prime example of that and perhaps another reason the run was so impressive). Timing, match ups, coin flips and others most definitely play a huge part in how the playoffs shape up. To say that they don't is just not being willing to have an open discussion while removing your emotions. For example, show me a coach who has made deep playoff runs and I'll show you someone who has been on both sides of the coin flip, good and bad. It's one of the things that makes the game "beautifully cruel". 
 
With all that being said I'd like to personally wish all the local playoff teams good luck and hope they each have successful journeys all the way to state.
