indian15/16

As for the game, I was there and the best team on that day won the game. There's no shame in that for Silsbee. Someone always has to lose. Playing in that game alone is an amazing accomplishment. I never saw Big Sandy leaving San Antonio without that trophy but I was wrong. You just never know and it's a testament to just how hard it is to win a championship. Both of those teams spent most or all the season ranked #1 but in the end came up short. They were both excellent teams and should be very proud of all they accomplished.

You better bring $18

I'm gonna have to get my health lined out and knock the rust of my game and see what exactly Lazeek's got in the bag! 

Thank you for the info. I'm very happy to hear that a full recovery is expected. This young man has a lot of talent and a bright future. Here's to a speedy recovery and life getting back to normal for him and his family.

Thanks. Any other info would be greatly appreciated. My heart goes out to the Tigers who came up a little short tonight but congrats on a great season to a great team. 

As soon as there is any info available able this young man, will someone please post here. That's was a very unsettling situation and our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Interesting twitter message conversation I had with two individuals last night

ABC 13 sports

Houston Chronicle

Neither have any interest in Big Sandy basketball........And will not be covering Big Sandy at San Antonio

Neither sports writer had any clue of where Big Sandy was, nor any idea they would be competing for a championship trophy this weekend.

 

The sports affiliates out of Beaumont aren't able to cover BS because that's not in their viewer/coverage area.

I wish things were different. I know nobody from BS wants the attention and or feels shunned by it. I just think it's an atrocity that a team this GREAT year in and year out can go Un-Noticed by the sports media around the area. Like, how do you do your job and not cover the best in the business at the 2a Level ? Blows my mind.

This is such a disappointing reality. Any journalist worth his or her salt would see the clear value and dynamic in a story of this kind, if they did just 5 minutes of research. There are so many story lines that could be highlighted and what a great feel good story it would be. It really exposes everything wrong with large scale media today. Big Sandy would have a better shot at getting covered by the four letter network than they would by someone in their own backyard/Texas. 

Tenaha spent a ton of energy tonight trying to dispose of a pesky Kerens team. I can't see them having enough to take down the Wildcats. I thought we might be in for a tight one but after the taxing semifinal for Tenaha and the fact that Big Sandy has played better with each game they played thus far in the playoffs, I see Big Sandy victorious with a margin of victory in the 18 to 24 point range.

Elkins led 17-11 after 1, and 29-28 at half.  Each outscored the other in 2 periods. 

Just went back and saw that. Disregard...my apologies. For the record, I was really hoping to see Central in San Antonio. 

Actually, no, Elkins lead by 6 after one, 9 at half, and 20 after third. If these posts are accurate, they won every quarter but the fourth. They competed in the first and second but won neither

Huffman is playing very good basketball.  They put a lot of pressure on the ball in the half court set, but that isn't as effective against a team like Cleveland.  Both can shoot it well from outside, but Huffman is more consistent.  They should be able to win comfortably, but nothing has been a sure thing in this district all year.

As much as I would love to be a homer here, I can't. Your assessment of Cleveland and there ability to shoot from the outside is not very accurate. They have no legitimate perimeter threat at all to be honest. It's there major weakness. If you keep them out of the lane, out of transition, and off the offensive glass they have nothing to go to and be successful. 

Hurry and sign your kids up now! The Big Sandy Wildcats are putting on a shooting clinic for free at the Bear Cave..Monday night only! Wow!!!!

Is Williams still in the team in Cleveland?

He failed and is ineligible.

Remember Craig going against some very good Livingston teams in the late 80's.  

Yeah..I was on those teams. We had no answer for Earnest Jackson. That dude was a tough match up. What really hurt was getting bumped to 4A the year after winning the title. Probably would have hung another banner or two if that hadn't happened. 

Just now, KHSAlum400 said:

I know he had 31 points. Guillory from EC had 33.

Wow! I bet that match up was fun to watch.

Don't forget we beat that but a few weeks ago 

I haven't. This is the worst Cleveland team in 10 years. It happens. I figured the #1 seed would come from either Coldspring, Huffman, or Liberty before district ever started. No surprises so far.

What was Arnold's stat line for Kountze in this contest?

Coldspring-Huffman thread far and away the hottest topic going.   Such a sad day for the SETX basketball forum.

LOL

When was the last time cleveland was relevant it's been years yall use to be relevant coldspring has owned yall the last few years ain't football especially and will own yall Friday night I'll see u there to see yall own coldspring kmsl which yall haven't done in years 

First, this is the basketball thread on SETX. Second, Cleveland has won their district either 6 of the last 7 years or 7 of the last 8? And you guys better own Cleveland on Friday because they will be starting 3 freshmen, 1 junior, and 1 senior.

Will Coldsprings go far in the playoffs?

If they can hold on to the #1 seed, I think they can make it out of the first round. If the #2 seed, it's a maybe. #3 or #4 and they're one and done. I will agree with Trojans2012 on one thing, after Cole the Trojan's have very little in the way of legitimate basketball talent on their roster.

And if u are talking bout Cleveland yall ain't been relevant in years kmsl

Are you for real??

Naw Playa no racial here like I said I ball in the reservation with some of my good friends stewie David biz jason  u name them so no racial here and naw yall ain't owned us cause we owned big sandy back when I played so maybe recent past years but to call someone racist is a bit much buddy it's called sports talk not race talk 

Never called you anything, much less racist. I said your comments were borderline. Trust me, I know it's sports talk and all in good fun, or at least it should be. And since you couldn't figure it out, I'll spell it out. I'm from Cleveland, and own Coldspring is exactly what we've done!

Let me give all yall a standing ovation clap clap clap now who gives a damn about them beating coldspring the rest of there team is nonexistent so I could care less to be honest and if that foxx guy is the best in the state congrats to him but don't knock that young man for being a Great basketball player and I can guarantee he will boogie any state ranked team whether the rest of the team doesn't follow now stick it 

Remember on thing...this was never about Trey Cole. This was about you, Trojan2012. You brought this on yourself.

Yea sigh I see indian on your profile I guess ur from the Indian Reservation where yall are little 1A gods where u wouldn't be if u were in a bigger division and yes the young man has numerous of colleges at his games so I'll tell u to stick it up yours also chief

Not sure I can respect the racial implications of your comment but I'll assume it was unintentional. I will set the record straight however, I'm from a town 18 miles east of Coldspring down FM2025 that has owned the Trojans for the better part of a decade on the hardwood. Drop the mike...I'm done

That 1A beats 5A-6A playoff teams every year...

5A-6A...yep, but that argument is irrelevant. Try this on for size. That little 2A team he's referencing already went and did the Trojans in their own house this year. You remember that don't you, Trojan2012??
