Exactly…they aren’t shooting well but playing menacing defense and not turning the ball over..

This game should no be this close….Furr playing good defense and we still aren’t shooting well.

15-13 tigers after 1

Is that a final?

What’s the score?

They tried more than once…..

Tigers definitely missed their big opportunity to put Wos out early with the big guy on the bench most of the first half. Tigers have to finish at the basket missed a few good opportunities and still aren’t shooting well against wos.

I believe He did try it in the second half once or twice…

Not sure exactly about 6’6 to 6’8 i believe. WOS matches our athleticism and always plays us like a bitter rivalry. That night we got beat badly on the boards gave up way too many second chamce baskets and shot poorly. Like was said earlier tonight we could beat them by 25 or if we let them dictate the game it could be a struggle once again!

Let the game get taken over by the big guys..and didnt shoot very well.

Heard there was a scuffle late in this one. Was there much to it?

No they formed a line right up against the sideline and arching to it on both ends. When the ref counted they handed the ball to the next player. We reached over and got one foul and then got a jump ball. I guess the way we could have forced them out of it was send our player out of bounds to touch the ball and force an inbounds play.

That would be ok but not egging on the Tiger fans while your team is stalking the ball. I know we have some over the top fans but an opposing coach shouldn’t be on the court motioning our fans to get louder or interacting with them…

I lost all respect I had for Mitchell as a coach not for his tactic but for the fact that he was taunting the Tiger fans while trailing 5-2

26-17 Tigers at the half

No Mitchell tried to hold the ball for the whole quarter trailing 5-2

Lumberton is afraid to play basketball… wants to stand and hold the ball the whole game.

Yes it is Lufkin

And scores like thesE are why i dont bet on or try to even guess a score for high school games….i would never have come close to this.

Gonna have to do a better job handling that size than we did Friday might for sure. We have done better against teams like West Brook.

Don think anyone else in the district will present much of a challenge. Wos has the athletes to challenge and always has that bitter rivalry type atmosphere that pushes these type games.

I understand that unfortunately those are the things that lead to other actions such as our players heading to that section after the shot. And both of those actions create that friction that seems to hang around when these two schools meet.

A few things. This was a great game and a goid one for the Tigers in district where it really didnt look like we would be challenged. Another sub par performance by the striped crew! They definitely let them play for the most part. I know there were several Tiger fans and even a coach or two who felt that both Wos big guys were in worse foul trouble than they were. As far as the trashy comment, i definitely dont condone any adults running around on the court celebrating but i cant say i saw them. Now i would say it is pretty trashy to be singing “na na na goodbye” to an injured player down on the floor. As far as a fight in the parking lot, i didnt see any signs of one. However i kept my family in the stands for quite a bit after the game expecting that very scenario. As far as game play itself, we cant let let one or two players dominate a game like those two did tonight. We have to do a better job boxing out and take some of those rebounds away. Wos definitely played defense not allowing the Tigers the normal amount of open shots or penetration baskets. We didnt have one of our better shooting games, caused by wos defense and those 100 year old rims, especially the one we had in the first half. But it came down to us running out 5he last minute and a half or so and taking that last shot. And as was said big time players make big time shots.. Next up….

Miller time! Hell of a ball game hell of a shot!!!

35-34 wos at the half Tigers can’t buy a shot and getting killed on the boards
