Tigers94

In case anyone cares:

Looking forward to seeing the new Jones/Johnson back court for Silsbee. They both been putting in serious work. Doesn't hurt that the old Harris/Miller combo is still there this year either. I'm going to boldly predict the Tigers at least make it back to region finals.

LCM gave Silsbee a push in the second game they played last year. They eventually gave out cause of no depth, but they were winning that game for a bit. I'm gonna need to see this new Bridge City. Do they get transfers or is this the same team as last year just a little more grown up? Looked like they just wanted to get the game over with when they played at Silsbee last year.

West Orange could have had 13, but that receiver for WOS had possibly the dumbest penalty of the night, and that is saying a lot for this game. Good news for the Tigers is they have Hardin Jefferson, a bye week, then Liberty next. So that's three weeks off to clean things up and get on the right path.

Part of me wants to see Coach Smith lay down the law. You get a stupid 15 yard penalty, you sit down for the rest of the game. Of course, he's also expected to win football games. People will be complaining about why we lost to ______ if he has to sit a few key players in a tight game. I just know the Jasper game is gonna look similar to this if nothing changes.

Just end this crap before everyone starts fighting.

Kibbles done for the night. Miller at tailback now.

2:20 left in the game.

Silsbee's gonna have fun underachieving this year in the playoffs if they don't clean their act up. No, it ain't the refs (usually) or somebody else's fault. Get your stuff together.

Wow. They know how to ball in Hawaii. It's rare to see a top recruited up private school lose to a public.

I still think this game will be a battle. Then again, I also thought the Nederland game would be a battle, so what do I really know? Tigers - 45 Stangs - 35

Atascocita is winning 14 - 0 in the 1st.

Tigers - 35 Dogs - 28 Last two years these games have played out nearly the same. Silsbee gets off to a fast start, then wears out towards the 4th. Would like to see that not happen this time.

Obviously some thing needs to be cleaned up, but I wouldn't overreact too much for the first game of the season. Cartwright is gonna feast every game with how teams cover Miller.

I know it's only one half of football, but Farr has done an excellent job of taking Williams place.

Yeah, I don't think that'll work in the long run. People will just plan better in advance in the future. Not to mention, what if a kid thought about going back to their original school? You think I'm going back now after whoever is responsible cost me a year or two of playing varsity. No way. That's the last place I'd ever return to. I really wish that proposal that let a kid transfer one time for any reason had passed.

I'm sure this coach doesn't have a problem accepting athletes from other schools. Silsbee athletics suffered a huge loss in girls basketball to West Brook, but you don't see us acting like little babies over it.

That sucks. He'll be ready for the playoffs and b-ball, I guess.

I would guess Johnson is eligible as well, but I don't know that for a fact. He's been at Silsbee since last year.

Looks like Miller will be staying close to home in going to A&M.

Depending on what happens tomorrow with Miller, Silsbee could have 3 D1 b-ball players on their roster. I believe they may currently have 4 or 5 that'll play sports at the next level overall. Three of the four kids who graduated last year went on to play sports at the next level (or at least got offers), all football. Getting back to the TABC for a minute, Duncanville got handled. I hear Round Rock Stony Point may have the best player in the state. Between them and Brennan, it looks like the central part of the state is on the rise .

Maybe I should have said "winning a title" but I thought that's what we were talking about.

It was BU that beat Faith Family at the TABC. Of course their roster might be a lot different when the season starts. Silsbee was missing 5 or 6 kids from the team last week. I can think of a few that should make decent contributions this year that weren't there. With or without Miller, hopefully it'll be enough to fill the void if he leaves early. Some of you have to keep in mind 4A is a different beast than what is was a few years ago. We didn't have the top 4A schools looking like they should be in the 6A playoffs. The only reason this bunch doesn't have at least one ring already is some freakish JUCO looking team. 2017 Silsbee would have a hard time winning anything today. They would have lost to FF the same way this bunch did year before last.

I'd guess he had around 10 - 14 points. Had a nice steal or two. Also got completely steamrolled on a charge, but he was okay. It would have been really easy for Silsbee to get discouraged and throw in the towel after that first half. They had to have been tired and these games don't really mean much. Nice job too keep fighting, and regardless of this game meaning much or not, it still feels good.
