Was able to take in this game tonight and hats off to Coach Robertson for showing great class by not pressing this Jasper team. The Cardinals could have easily made a 100 point+ run on them but respectfully did not. Robertson is doing a great job with this squad and looking forward to watching them play Friday night against West Orange Stark. I believe it will be a battle for the #2 district spot. Hopefully, the Cardinals play as a team and don’t fall back into the selfish “me” ball like what happened to them with the small point guard during the Silsbee game.

I’m watching back the game on the Hudl link and it looks like BC played with only 7 players and Silsbee kept their starters in until the last few minutes of the game. Why? Hats off to BC for hanging in as long as they did. That game was nothing for Silsbee to be proud of. Also, those referees were obvious Silsbee ISD alumni!

They do have the talent to take 2nd in district but will they have the discipline? They play their best if they keep their mouths shut, head down and just play the game. Last night, I saw what I assume was a parent on the front row literally heckling players for Silsbee. BC doesn't need that garbage and the cop had to go talk to him. BC has some talented kids and the shifty little point guard can handle the ball well but someone needs to go take it from him when he starts playing selfish, ball-hogging and throwing up forced shots and that seems to be the pattern in every game I've been able to catch this season. Outside looking in, that ruined the entire mojo of that BC team last night. Robertson seems like a good coach but he will need to get ahold of his players before they end up losing out on a possible playoff run due to selfishness.

Bridge City actually gave 2-1/2 good quarters. They’re a really good scrappy team and when they play together, they’re tough. It was a 9 point ball game in the 3rd quarter at one point then the trash talk turned into a 1v1, selfish ball game and there was no more team ball the rest of the game for BC.
