Houston

I had absolutely no idea this game was taking place till I saw it on uR Sports Twitter feed. Mr Miller once again doing it all. Nice to see us win a close game after losing close ones against West Brook and Lufkin.

Anybody who cares to see this game while you're stuffing yourselves with Christmas leftovers can see it here. Skip to the 17 minute mark for player introductions. Lot of sloppy play in the 4th, but it was garbage time. Noticed Williams and Gilder hardly played at all, if they played at all.

I think Jones will always be more of a football dude. He's making solid contributions to the team this year, but I really can't see a basketball monster happening at the moment. Miller, on the other hand, is already doing whatever he wants to on the court. He could probably average 25 - 30 points a game this year if he had to. Him and Harris are gonna be a serious duo to build a team around. We've got some other good looking freshman that aren't on varsity yet. One kid looks like he already had a growth spurt and shot up to 6`2 or 6`3. Gonna be fun times ahead if all the kids can stay together and be healthy.

JV game is going on now. Varsity will follow.

It was on a break. Really nice form and put down.

Dunk count was only 1 - 0 Silsbee, but it was a thing of beauty. Lagrange didn't have their big kid this year. Their coach was freaking ginormus though. Dude had to have played ball some where in his younger days.

My feelings are mixed when it comes to mass substitions now. The only reason this game wasn't a slaughter fest from the get go was our starters resting lots of minutes in the first half.

Final Silsbee - 84 Lagrange - 51

Dunk city. Harris with athority. Game is really getting chippy. 71 - 45

End of the 3rd Silsbee - 62 Lagrange - 42

Halftime Silsbee - 45 Lagrange - 29

End of the 1st. Silsbee - 23 Lagrange - 13

Josh Lamb will be live streaming this one.

Drelon Miller had 27 points and 8 rebounds. Literally half the points scored.

According to Max Preps, we can expect to see Braylon Bush on the floor for Silsbee tomorrow. That would be interesting to say the least.

Pretty sure that was Miller. Someone really needs to update the Tiger roster on Max Preps.

Tigers lose. 57 - 54 Tough to lose close games like this, but Lufkin has just as many athletes as we do if not more. Just keep working and getting better. Lets see if we can get a W tomorrow.

Going into overtime. Tied at 45.

As much as it pains me to admit it, I don't think Silsbee will make it far enough to see Faith Family this year. There's gonna be times when our inexperience shows and against another competent 4A team in the playoffs will probably be it. Would love to be wrong about that though.

I think I was impressed with how BU played defense more than anything. Not a lot of teams can handle that. You take the ball to the rim, there's most always 3 or 4 long arms that can jump to meet you. Nothing comes easy. We had two 6`3s and a 6`4 kid that sat on the bench most the game. Wish we had at least tried to match them in size under the boards. Good news for Silsbee is they won't see another team with even half the talent BU has for the rest of the season. I can easily see United winning state this year and next year. It's a good learning experience for our young kids. Just keep working.

Final Silsbee - 56 United - 76

65 - 42

Youth showing under that pressure.

Too much standing around for Silsbee on the boards.
