I agree, "aggie" will eat his words someday. Not only in basketball but football and baseball but not track. We have to work on that. ;D
There's that "someday" quote. Right, and Silsbee will win the state championship in football, basketball, baseball, and track, in the same year, someday. My point is, even IF Orangefield were to beat Silsbee one time in the next few years, but then continue to lose to the Tigers after that, would still prove Silsbee's domination over Orangefield. A couple of wins over a 5-10 year period really isn't an improvement. It would more likely be a show of a down spike in Silsbee's program.
Beeninnikes, you go ahead and put stock into those 7th and 8th grade wins. I have been around long enough to know that Jr. High(old school here) wins doesn't always correalate to Varsity wins. I have personally seen Silsbee's 7th and 8th grade teams go undefeated yet not do well at the varsity level. On the other hand, I have seen our 8th grade win only a couple of games yet when that group were juniors and seniors, they went undefeated in district and went deep in the playoffs. Most times on the Jr. High level, it's about coaching, or lack thereof, that determines how well that group does.
Also, when you bring up the "almost" wins that the Bobcats had against the Tigers, I think it's only fair that you also post the 33 point blowout that Silsbee put on Orangefield last year.
I am not denying that Orangefield is not getting better in basketball, but I still think they have a long way to go to be on the level with HJ and Silsbee.
I put in bold some of the comments i noted on this post. The words i would use to describe these statements would be cocky and arrogant. Tell us how you really feel. lol. I mean really, how could anyone besides HJ ever expect to come close to the almighty Silsbee Tigers ever in their existence. And i guess what you're saying is if anyone ever does it will be a total fluke (like the 2 2 pt losses last year to OF were i assume by your statements) or just a total letdown on Silsbee's part because no one will ever surpass them. You're not going to make anymore fans of the Silsbee Tigers making comments like this on the board. In fact, all you really are making with posts like these is bulletin board material.
