No he had alot to say last year on Twitter. Stop that clock and take the Lose like we did last year. 

Harrison had alot to say on twitter? I doubt he even has a twitter account. 

How is Center finding their offense? They hitting any outside shots, or just around the bucket? Im pleasantly suprised weve got 29 at half. Silsbee pressing us into turnovers, or just doing as they please on offense?

Why in the world is Center trying to play with four small guards ? Looks like they have decent size on the bench.

Silsbee now up 46 - 21.

Ill just say this, those guards have just as good a shot at scoring, defending, and getting rebounds as any "size" on the Riders bench. 

Im honestly surprised its as "close" as it is right now. 

Thanks for the updates, btw. Keep em coming

Silsbee 95

Center 63

 

Youre being very generous if you think we will score 63 tonight. If silsbee wanted to win by 50+, i dont see them having much problem doing it. Im thinking center will be doing good to score 40-50 pts. 

Tigers 94

Riders 39

I was eating at the Grill in Center Tuesday night wondering if they could beat Liberty. I guess not. there was a bunch of Teneha Players in there that night.

I give Liberty all the credit they deserve. They played a pretty disciplined game on offense. The only times they didnt score TD's was they couple times they fumbled the ball. Granted, Center's defense has been atrocious for the better part of the season, ESPECIALLY against the run. But with that said, Center had opportunities early on that we just couldnt capitalize on. The Riders recovered 2 onside kicks in the 1st qtr, and couldnt get points out of either possession. 2nd qtr just got away from the Riders, which turned out to be the difference in the game. They outscored us 35-12, to take a 42-18 lead into half. We never could gain enough momentum after half to get within 2 scores. Good luck to Liberty going forward

Final

Liberty 55

Center 38

I think Silsbee wins somewhere in the vicinity of 95-80

1st qtr killed the Dragons. Valiant effort to claw back in it. Great season, Dragons. Way to represent Shelby County

Dragons trying to make a run. Gotta get some stops

Looking at hoopinsiders stats on Twitter shows rebounds were even at half at 15 a piece. That's surprising.

Doesn't sound like Shelbyville is in gear.  That #24 killed us, but we didn't have any height to challenge him.

West's bigs are dominating the boards. Even when their 6'8" guy has come off, the Dragons have been virtually a non-factor on the boards.

#15 needs to get tough and play defense and not worry so much about getting his shot. Lot's of energy on offensive end, zero on defensive end. #10 is killing him.

We literally just got finished talking about this

Shelbyville playing very sloppy. Several  nonchalant passes have lead to several dunks/easy buckets for West. Dragons need to soomehow weather the storm, and get theyre shooters going to have a shot

Is this a boys score for 1st/2nd in 15-4A?

CH started the game on an 11-0 run in the first couple minutes. Seemed like they got every hustle play. Woodville just wasn't able to weather the storm early and never could recover. Pretty sure they were down 30-12 @ half. CH made several 3's and Woodville really didn't have an answer for their guard play

I know that it's no big deal and Silsbee basketball will move on, but I want to know what happened.  Still not getting an answer.  Because I know Silsbee is a better overall team than Center.  Just a big surprising that they lost.  

Silsbee had little to no answer for center's jaterious Evans and kaleb parks. Center did a fairly good job of beating silsbee's pressure without making too many turnovers. Center played 8 players, with the starters playing 90-95% probably. Both teams had a couple key players in foul trouble down the stretch. Neither team shot FTs very well, although center probably made more down the stretch, including the 2 that would eventually win it. I think Silsbee rebounded a little better, especially on the offensive boards, which puzzled me, since center has 2 kids down low at 6'6" and 6'7". I don't know the count for sure, but I think center had around 6 or 7 dunks to silsbee's 1...I think. Obviously this was my first time to see silsbee this year, but the majority of the offense they ran was just to spread the floor and let McCain, Bush, or Adams dribble/drive to the rack and either take a contested layup against the center bigs, or kick it to the 3 pt line. But the most of the time, Center was able to contest even the 3 pt shots

Silsbee is a dang good team. I'm sure they missed some shots that they normally make, as did center. Both teams made some very difficult shots too, though. As most of you guys have said, Silsbee will be just fine moving forward. 

Would anyone happen to have stats from last night?

What. A. Game! Atmosphere was electric. Game was exciting til the final whistle. I saw someone from Silsbee ask if they had a full squad tonight. I don't know, but one of center's starters didn't play tonight due to him tearing his ACL today. 

Safe travels to all heading back to Silsbee.

Good job Tigers

2 things:

1st...if they missed 7 ft's and 9 or so shots around the rim then yes...that's what cost them the game.  Refs had nothing to do with that.

2nd...you can not compare the foul count of 2 teams that play different styles of basketball or defense.  If one team plays more aggressive defense or just bad defense then they will always commit more fouls.

They played the same style of defense...
