You are right about this Tiger team.....however we are very young and it will be the first time dealing with a team like Yates.  Now we can apply just as much pressure as they do but where we may have trouble is dealing with their pressure and still being able to apply ours.  Legs will get tired and decision making of our youngsters will be tested.  To most anyone it will be a surprise if we can make it a real good game.   With that said i have faith in my young Tigers and know they will give it all they can.  I wont be surprised to see this one either way.  Unfortunately i dont know if i will even make the trip with a 5:30 start time.  I would miss the first 20 minutes or so and unless i get tickets online wouldnt want to make the trip and get turned away.

Yes Yates was exposed in their game saturday.  By rules they are supposed to sit out 7 days and have to have a negative test after 5 days before participating.  From what i have been told HiSD has fought to move this game to friday to try to circumvent that rule and the playoff schedule to keep yates from having to use their jv and freshmen.  Now anyone knows that i am anti big city schools and what goes on there as far as transfers etc.  But i will say i hate to see this covid crap messing up anyones season, but the rules set should be what is followed.  No exceptions should be made.  Would it have been fair in our district to have let us reschedule our games after you were forced to forfeit yours?

Too many what ifs...

Score backwards in header.

I do.  That was the dumbest rule ever and cost Silsbee a share of the district championship.  But you are right...once they instituted that asinine rule and enforced it against Vidor, there was no going back.  I am assuming this is the first time it’s arisen these playoffs or any team who got screwed is going to have a helluva beef with the uil.  

Hard to predict this one.....depends on what Silsbee team shows up.  But even more so it depends on what yates team shows up.  If Yates was exposed to covid Saturday like has been stated they must play their jv and freshmen per uil rules which state you must be out 7 days and have a negative test after 5 days.  

Good wouldnt have it any other way.....but the game wont be wednesday😉

That is IF we get by tonight....that isnt a donedeal by any means.

Was it from that BS that happened at the end of the Huffman game?

Seeing Silsbee/HF is now Tuesday at 7 at West Brook.

Great outlook...tough for the playoffs but you have to do whaat you have to do!

Tournaments are 6 in 3 days...  
At this point... it is what it  is....  practices are way more intense...  the girls may actually favor it.  Haha   Gotta look at the positives
 

Last night was the worst I’ve seen either club look this year. Not making excuses for either club but they did both play late games on Friday night. HJ didn’t get to rest anyone because of a close game with HF. I wouldn’t base either clubs playoff chances on what we saw last night.

The players not hearing the buzzer would have been one thing if it had ended on the court.  They went all the way to the wall behind the baseline, which is where most of the activity took place and at that point is where the actual fighting occured.  Those two were the only ones i could see doing anything more than really pushing or shoving.  As far as the other players leaving the bench, most of the ones i saw were trying to seperate those involved.  And it was after the buzzer, so Huffmans players were already on the court celebrating and ran to the end when noticing it.  You could see on video or in person that  most of hjs players just walked that way and were redirected by another player back towards the bench.  Definitely not one of the bigger tustles i have seen but the two that were involved definitely went further than just fighting over the ball.

Well a few things that night 1) Lumberton played about as well as they could.  2.). It was only our first or second game back after 2 weeks of being out for COVID.  And 3) we did not full out press and trap until that 4th quarter.  By then it was too late.  All in all the way the teams played that night no question Lumberton should have won.  They played their best and we didn’t.

44-20 Tigers at the half

35-13 3:11 left in the half

Yates is better than Silsbee.
(that's what you have been waiting for someone to say)

Final 88-64 Tigers

Yes Harris got one 22-15 Tigers after 1

Coin flip 

The only action this thread saw all night lol. 

Good hard fought win for the young Tigers.  Good to see them keep battling and pull it out.  Jones got a couple real big rebounds down the strectch.  Although rebounding through much of the game was a problem.  Miller and Harris led the way but had some big time shots and plays by others along the way.
This definitely isnt your typical wos basketball team.  They are still athletic but have a player or two who can score as well.   
 
But as big a topic as moveins has been for the last several teams, i have to say this was the only high school game i have ever been to where the starting lineup of the home team was announced like a college game.  What i am getting at was they announced each players name and where he was from and most were not from Orange!!

Tigers up 67-65 26 secs left
