  1. Don't let the TABC #1 4A ranking fool you, that and a win over Central. Don't step on the court with a high school team led by Coach Courtney, unless you got your heart right and your big boy jock strap on.
  2. This could be a 50 pt blow out. I'm glad I stayed home.
  3. I may make it to the Thursday afternoon game in Fort Bend after all, at least to the second half.
  4. i have been hoping to see the Tigers play in the Raisin' Cane tournament in FT Bend. The plan was leave work and catch an evening game. Now that the schedule is out I don't know. If I am reading the schedule right they next play at 1:30pm, followed by another game at 4:00pm Thursday. Those are some crazy game times. I definitely cannot go to any games Friday. Oh well.
  5. Silsbee's ranking in the next polls should be interesting. That's okay, at the end of the day, or better yet, at the end of the season, polls and rankings don't mean all that much. It is better to taste the bitterness of defeat now instead of the first game in the playoffs. I am looking forward to the next game, on the 7th.
  6. Silsbee being able to survive and even thrive with four to eight players still playing football, against 6A schools at that, is more dream than reality. We won't really be able to tell what this team is really all about until mid to late January.
  7. What kind of height does Silsbee have this year? The great equalizer is running and pressing. I saw several ball handlers. And two or three 3 ball shooters. Nice to see the team get recognition as # 1. I wonder if they will be in that same place after Central tonight & after the tournaments. If not that's cool too. It is really all about preparing for district and more importantly the playoffs.
  8. It is too early in the season. I am just enjoying the process. Just like Bridgeport came out of nowhere some other team could do the same. I like Silsbee's chances this year though. I too am a life long Tigers basketball fan. I am not pessimistic, just real. I won't believe it (state championship) totally until I see it.
  9. No, no one else impressed me on the Bellaire team. They had a big, stout post player that was having his way under the boards, but they didn't go to him enough.
  10. Max Evans. That's the guard I saw play for Bellaire against Silsbee. He had like 25 pts at halftime. The guy on the PA mic kept announcing it. Must be his uncle or something. Evans is very good, but I was more impressed with the team play of Silsbee.
  11. Ricky Maze. My bad. I didn't see Silsbee play last year. The last time I saw them was the year before. I may have to make a special trip back home (Silsbee) and watch them play.
  12. I'm guessing # 14 is Trey Maze. He was shooting lights out from the 3 pt arc. Silsbee was behind 6 or 7 points just before half and Maze hit 2 or 3 3s to put Silsbee back in the game. I've never seen a Silsbee team shoot that well from the outside. Bellaire had all the height & size. # 1 for Bellaire is legit. I don't know his class year, but next year or sometime soon he's gonna be playing for a college, D-1 at that. I can't wait to see what Silsbee looks like when football season is over.
  13. ..no AAU lies being told; $old. There it is, right there.
  14. HISD razed, tore down the old delmar basketball field house. They are in the process of building a new field house. At first it was a lot of dirt. Now you can see a new building starting to rise. When it is finished the field house should be one of the better locations to watch high school basketball in this part of the state. I work in that area.
  15. [quote name="swamp123" post="1424341" timestamp="1376530639"] This is more about the UIL as a governing body than it is about the kid.  Being pulled up for the playoffs and going to the state tourney gettin medals seems like participation to me.  If it's not and there is no benefit for the kid or the team, why they do it? UIL is weak, always takes the easy way out. Eventually they will lose funding as they are not living up to their purpose. Congrats to the Tigers, but it will take a lot more than this to even up with what UIL ignores in Dallas and Houston. [/quote] Nice post.   If Chris is playing this year I will re double my efforts to attend games.
  16. I agree with what you are saying.  Coach Sigler and the Silsbee players do a good job, great job of maximizing the talent they have.  I keep going back to the last half, the last quarter, of that Yates game.  The Lions did not want to run.  Silsbee was winning the press and run game.  Coach Wise did the smart thing and took the air out of the ball.  Silsbee continued to force it inside, which was collapsed.  So the Tigers started clanking long threes. Yates started hitting 3 pointers. Silsbee misses resulted in long rebounds and an inflated final score of 15 points deficit.  That game was closer than that. If you play ball, no matter how tall you are, you need a jumper, a 3pt jumper, a stop n pop 3 pt jumber, and a mid range stop n pop jumper.  Developing those skills is easier said than done.  If the goal is to get past teams like Yates in region 3, 3A, and maybe even upsetting Dallas Madison, or Dallas Lincoln, whoever comes from up there, you need those types of skills on your team.
  17. [quote name="BucNasty" post="1423671" timestamp="1376341899"] Seriously, I think Silsbee will go to the same round as last year. Third and home. Yates will dominate 3A Region 3 again this year. [/quote] Perhaps.  I'm sure Yates and Coach Wise are undaunted by losing the championship to Dallas what'sitname.  I forgot the team's name.  As I've stated before the Tigers need a half court game that features accurate outside shooting.

Perry got outta dodge (Silsbee) long time ago. Left for Cali, but I digress.

Saying they treating players like pieces of meat and would get beat by 14U teams wouldn't be something I would think an alum would be doing. [/quote] I'm not talking down on Silsbee. That's in general around here... So many HS coaches use the kids instead of get them prepared for college. And about the 14U teams beating Silsbee, I'm not taking anything away from Silsbee... But I'm honest... There are 14U teams that would compete in our district... It's irrevelant but it's true. [/quote] [b]Is there any chance that you havent been "at this" long enough to honestly know the differences between Silsbee/HJ/WOS compared to 14 year old AAU teams?[/b] [/quote] [b]BINGO!!!![/b] [/quote] They didn't have AAU teams back in the day.  I've heard of AAU teams.  I know they play during the off season, during the summer.  I've never seen an AAU team play.  Once the regular high school season is over, and the various state champions are selected, I drop this topic til the next season.  I may make a comment of two here or there, but for the most part I'm done. Having said all that I didn't know 14U meant 14 year old aau.  Learn something new everyday.
