Tigers94

Silsbee lost 58 - 54. It's going to be a long and miserable season if they keep this up.

Silsbee is down this year compared to last season. They lost a lot of key players from last year's squad. It's still not an excuse to be practically tied at the half of this game and get blown out. Not to mention be up by 9 on BU at the half and lose by double digits. They need to play better. We've got two young freshmen that'll need some time to break in. One will more likely be a future investment for next season, while the other will already see decent playing time this year.

Silsbee isn't going to beat any good team this year till they learn to play two good halves of basketball. I get you don't just lose a Jared Harris, Miller, Bottley, etc and keep things rolling like nothing's changed. They need to get it figured out before district starts though.

Silsbee should have 5 or 6 coming over from football. Johnson has a shoulder injury, so don't expect him to play. I just want them to compete well. Don't get embarrassed like they did against Lufkin.

Time for basketball boys. Nobody expected you to make it to the 3rd round this year. Y`all overachieved way beyond what was expected; so with that being the case, it was a great year overall.

The o-line did a well enough job of not letting Sanders for Bellville go nuts on us. I do think they have improved. I'm mostly concerned about our pass defense. If anything gets us beat Friday, that will be it.

Well I hope when/if Walker plays for Silsbee this year, he can put some serious beef under them boards for some rebounds. I'm not sure if Rice has had enough time to get back into top shape for b-ball after being injured or not.

We're now the last team standing from our district after tonight. I don't think anybody could have predicted that.

It looks like WO-S is going to lose, so we won't get a playoff game close to home unfortunately.

I know it's pointless, but part of me wants to scream "WHERE WAS THIS DEFENSE LAST YEAR"! Oh well 🤷‍♀️ I've no idea what's gotten into the Tigers tonight and I mean that in a good way.

Well it looks like basketball will have to wait a little longer.

Run the ball now.

It might be a good idea for the Tigers to stay away from #99's side. Nothing good is going to come from that.

That might do it. I really didn't see this coming.

It looks like Bellville is trying to lose. A Tiger touchdown here and I'd start to worry if I were them.

That went from a terrible pass to a great pass lol.

Did Bellville lose a lot of their o-line to graduation? They walked all over us last year from the moment the game started.

How wide open was that?

Sometimes it's just one of them days. I don't think we've ever lost this bad to Lufkin. We'll see how much the Tigers can improve when they play in some of the local tournaments in December.

Besides Johnson, Cartwright will be a big one. He's capable of 20 points a game if he can keep it together. Others include Gains, Walker, and another Jones. There may be one or two more, but I'm not 100 percent sure if they're going to play basketball or not.

It's typical early season Tiger basketball. It'd be really easy for Silsbee to go around clubbing baby seals the first few weeks of the season, but that's not how Coach Sigler does things. Starting the year off with 3 state ranked 5A teams was always going to be tough. It looks like #20 for Silsbee had a pretty big growth spurt. Hopefully he can develop into a solid player and we can use him when Rice and Boulwen aren't on the floor.

This game reminded me of the first game against West Brook last year. WAY too sloppy and too many turnovers. Our little shooting guards gave us a chance in the first half. We'll be fine by the time district gets here, so I'm not really worried.

We had two really good 3-point shooters playing in the 2nd quarter that gave us that halftime lead. Maybe we should go back to that.

Arline has played really well for Silsbee tonight.

Dunk count 1 - 0 Silsbee.
