Lol. I guess next year Miller and Harris will be driving over from Beaumont too.

Martin had 24 points and 5 steals. Cartwright had 18 points. Gilder had 12 points, I think, all from 3 pointers.

1 - 0 Ned. Look for Cartwright to get Silsbee on the board soon in a game, though. He was tossing them down easy in warm ups.

Gonna take some time to get him into shape. I don't think I've ever seen a team make 3s the way Nederland did in the first half tonight. Maybe Dallas Carter in the state finals a few years ago was close to that. I'm glad they started missing some in the second half.

Enough to shut up the stupid "overrated" chants by the Bulldog students. That and their dumb barking. Not sure the final stats, but Martin and Gilder played like men tonight also.

Somebody had better have a talk with Bray about diving into tables.

Bush is back.

Bush is hurt. Don't really care about the game now.

Damn

Tigers up by 1.

Yes.

Win or lose, I like what I see out of Silsbee tonight.

No.

A miracle we aren't down 20 + the way Nederland has shot the ball. Martin has done a good job guarding Hefner.

Nederland can't miss.

Cartwright in the game. Tigers down 13 - 8.

Tiger JV wins 62 - 54.

Likely closer to 7:30 the way the JV game is going.

Plenty of new editions on the JV team tonight. They're playing with twice the roster size. Maybe we'll see a few more on varsity as well.

Silsbee should have won this game by 10 -12 points. Gave LaGrange a few points off technical fouls. I get it. We're gonna have to be a tough and scrappy bunch this year, but no need to give the other team free points from too much jawing. There was a minor pushing match the first play of the game. Tiger defense is WAY more physical with Brisco, Gilder, and Martin starting. Teams have been running through us like hot butter. Not tonight. It's obvious Jayce doesn't have his basketball legs yet. Gonna have to slowly work him into shape these next few weeks. Shouldn't really expect the world from him in his first high school game ever anyways. LaGrange is gonna run their big man into the ground the way they play him. He was clearly exhausted and couldn't get much to any rest. Only 1 for 2 on dunks. He did have probably 6 or 7 blocked shots.

Tigers win 81 - 75.

Brisco, Gilder, Martin, Bush, and Harmon were the starters.

End of 3. Tigers up 60 - 53.

Halftime. Silsbee - 42 Lagrange - 29

He's doing alright. Didn't start but has played a few minutes. 22 - 16 now. Tigers still up.
