Good luck and safe travels to the Tiger boys heading to Nationals in Levelland.

Best believe we will be back....eventually. Hopefully there wont be any juco teams playing in 4A by then.

How far do we see Silsbee and BU going next year? There is a incoming freshman for BU that is like 6-6 that seems to be legit. 

Silsbee will have a good chance to still make region next year.

It depends on if the kids that were on JV this year can step their games up to varsity. I think at least 3 or 4 of them can. That would give the Tigers a solid 8 or 9 kids if it can happen.

Of course, how different Payton Jones will be for his sophomore year compared to his freshman season will matter more than anything.

Where is the Stony Point dude that was talking smack at tonight?

Probably was just a troll. May not have even been from Stoney Point.

I swear a healthy BU would have had a chance this year at winning it all.

Great season for our boys. I know for a fact they gave 110 percent every minute they were out there.

Not even gonna stress about FF. They're gone after this year.

Tiger basketball will eventually be back. We got some great looking young kids that, if they continue to develop and stay together, have the potential to be great when they make it to high school.

We may have to settle for just being pretty good for the next few years though.

My homer opinion is the Tigers will find a way to win by around 6 points.

Realistically I think Faith has to be favored by around 10.

Silsbee has played teams similar to FF earlier in the year. They came up short in those games, usually losing in the 6 - 10 point range. Maybe if they can play just a little better than they did back then tomorrow, they'll have a chance to win.

I think Harris is in the top 3 with McArthur and Bush.

If he'd kept shooting the 3 ball consistently and had a better mid range jumper, I think he'd be #1 without a doubt.

Figured this might be a tighter game than some were expecting. This Randall team did play #1 Eastern Hills really close and they did beat 6A Amarillo early in the year. They also had the experience of making the title game last year.

I guess free throws are what they are at this point. They're not going to magically get any better by tomorrow 🤷‍♀️

Faith should have been in 6A like the Jesuit schools are in football. When this class was making their way to high school, I predicted a few trips to state, but them not having the firepower to beat FF. If we beat Randall, I'm afraid that prediction will be proven true.

Silsbee was going toe to toe with them last time they played. FF made two big 3s at the end of the third and Silsbee couldn't catch up. All we can do is give ourselves a chance. It is what it is 🤷‍♂️

If it makes Tigers fan feel any better, Dallas Kimball is 4A now. That might not matter since it may be a bit before Silsbee has a serious chance at another ring.

How about we work on our free throws this week?

Okay, just one more time about that Harris dunk. Looks like it could have been a 3 point play. #12 got him on the arm.

They got a shot assuming Dotson is playing.

Stony Point needed a miracle last second 3 to make it. Plano East is probably the favorite, but anything can happen in one game when the pressure is on. BU has the experience in big games like this.

Highlights

That Harris dunk at 2:45 👍

Final dunk count was 5 - 2 in favor of Silsbee. That Harris one in the 4th was particularly nice.

Leading scorers:

Harris - 19

Bottley - 17

Miller - 14

Jones - 12

A lot of the other Tiger players had little spurts that really helped get the win. Elam, Shoulders, Boulwen and Johnson. Johnson had a few good defensive plays that lead to baskets. Boulwen with some good defense while Rice was sitting. Shoulders with a timely 3 and Elam with some good defense stops.

Next game will be tough no doubt. They'll be at a real size disadvantage if they play Stafford.

Where did you see this at? 

Texan Live

Just saw the end to this.

Thank goodness CS didn't make that last shot.

Glad I was wrong about this one.

I'm not sure how much common opponents matter at this point. Last year Silsbee handled Furr, who beat Washington in the regular season and gave them all they wanted in the second match up.

If the Tigers can make their 3s and rebound they'll have a chance.

Somebody from Dallas ISD is probably on the phone with a job offer right now.

I'm gonna take off my homer glasses and say BTW by 6.

We've been a little off on the 3 ball in most playoff games compared to the regular season. We've never been a good rebounding team and for some reason we've missed a lot of easy baskets here lately. All of that adds up to a sad end to the Tigers season, I'm afraid.

What little I've seen of Hitchcock is they look like a 3A version of Silsbee.

Sorry Lions, I'm going to go with Hitchcock by 10. Feel more that free to prove me wrong on that 🙏

This is the last year FF will be in the mix in 4A. I think they might be more beatable this year.

If Silsbee loses tomorrow, I'll definitely be pulling for anyone but them.

I just hope we don't die by the 3 and turnovers like we did last year.

Looks like it's gonna be Clear Springs and BU.

Washington up by 19 last I checked.

Inflated records and weak schedules are always exposed this time of the year. I guess we'll see if CH can make a game of it.
