One thing I will say as far as our two freshman is that even though they have all the talent and have been playing against older competition,  varsity ball is different.  Can and will they adjust to it,  yes and it should be quicker than most,  but their will be growing pains and we all need to know its coming.

[DXTR]

Adams is very solid and was easily the best player in his class at BISD.  Devon may be the best PG at Silsbee right now (and in the district) and has a chance to be the best player in the history of the school.  He has to keep working but he is that kind of talent.  Keep in mind he has been playing against players 2 to 3 years older than him (and producing) his whole life.  And of course, they do have the guy who is probably their overall best player (Grubbs) with them right now.  

I am not saying the players they are missing will not help.  They will.  But there is a reason their results today were very impressive.   They are fielding a team without the football players that is very, very good.  Whsalum raises the point that is a good one and that has been discussed before.  Finding the right balance with depth of this kind (which is almost unheard of at this level) is going to be key.  The good news for Tiger fans is you have a coach in Sigler who is used to managing a deep bench.  It just got a lot deeper this year though. 

If you were to take the best 5 players currently playing football vs the 5 currently playing basketball, it would be one heck of a good game. Going to be a fun season.

You will never convince me that those two freshmen (as good as they are) are close to making up for the 5-7 players Silsbee will be getting once football is over, particularly in the varsity experience department.

But that's just my opinion. Like it was stated earlier, the players out represent the bulk of the rebounding and defense along with scoring. Lil McCain and Adams do not bring that to the table, yet.

VERY accurate statement here.. 

[stevenash]

I think the intent of the original statement is that, if the team is balanced and has a lot of depth, replacing the backup with the starter might impact the team positively to the tune of 10% or 15%.  If its more than that, then the bench is likely not as deep/competent as oft previously stated.

[BMTSoulja1]

Now, don't get it twisted, Adams and D. McCain can adjust, but how long will it takes?  Depends on the player...  Barnes adjusted really fast last year and was one of the first off the bench.

 

 Work hard, Fish.

What some don't get is that these two won't be seeing talent greater than what they've already played against, with the exception of the Central game and maybe another tournament game or two. McCain would be in the rotation for ANY team in this area right now.

Everyone scrimmaged yesterday. Not sure why folks have not posted any results or comments. I have not heard of any other results.

Football still has everyone's attention.

[whsalum]

I would like to get a break down of Big Sandy, Spurger and any other schools that don't play football as well as those who's football teams were already eliminated. It has been to quiet.

[DXTR]

Anyone see the HJ / Yates scrimmage?

Thank ya sir. Those would be some good ones to watch.

I don't think Kountze has scrimmaged yet. First practice is Monday! Ready for the season and hopefully a repeat trip to San Antonio!

[Savant19]

Anyone see the HJ / Yates scrimmage? 

Yes.

They were gassed after the short halftime.

Outscored 36-14 third qtr.

I liked #25 , played hard whole game.

Parquet looks nice , but has to give more effort than he did.

 Same with Saladin.

I'll be there. 

[BADSANTA]

I would be a blessing to see Silsbee, Kountze, and Central or Oxen all in San Antonio this season. Silsbee players need to keep playing as if this was their last game. It takes a lot to get to state. It is never easy! 

[BMTSoulja1]

Silsbee will be there, trust me.  Sterling won't be as strong,  but that Bridgeport team...  That's who the Tigers will need to be gunning for...

Huntington will host a scrimmage Monday. Not sure of teams yet.

15 minute halves. Running clock. Only starter missing because of football is Jomard Valsin. We have two other players that will contribute after football season ends.
