Any dunks tonight for Silsbee?

[ST413]

No dunks even better the win!!

[ST413]

An average Yates Team beat Lufkin this weekend in regulation, Lets Go #1 ranked Silsbee (4A). Lufkin is not that good 

That average team is still ranked what #7 in he state.  Lufkin is pretty good but looks like they get a little wild and miss lots of lay ups or point blank shots.  Something we in Silsbee are familiar with.  I was impressed tonight on how the Tigers picked their places trying to get to the bucket and made the passes when the lane collapsed.  Also watched us lay back off the press in the third and still make a run. The Tigers looked a lot better than the last  two games I have seen.  Still lots of work to be done.  We can't get up for one game and play well then lay back the next.  Still a good win for a team that has only had a couple practices as a whole unit.

That #1 ranking is like a bull's eye.  It is a good thing though, builds character.

This team ...  If you let them hang around, they can beat anyone...  So much experience here, it shows in the 4th and overtimes.  Lufkin probably thought this game was won....

[ST413]

Lufkin was tired and not having their big man inside on defense was big as well.  Many good drives and dishes last night for the Tigers.  We do have to stop falling so far behind these better teams in the first half.  Find a way to score and get more rebounds in that half.

8-4 overall and maybe have played the hardest schedule in 4A. Big win after struggling the last 2 games. Let's get off to a strong start in district and go win the next tourney.

Is Silsbee good enough this year to beat a good HJ team?

This topic should be reserved for the off season when the board is dead. Lol

H-J is the favorite as always! I'm looking forward to see how Silsbee plays in the Whataburger Tourney vs teams like Argile, Brock, and others.

Ahhh, see what I mean!! LOL!! But I will wait for district play

[drango]

Silsbee will win the district for at least the next 4 years.  Who knows after that.  Silsbee is a clear favorite!

I think HJ will take the high road and give it to Silsbee anyway.

Its not very often that the #1 team in the state is an underdog to an unranked team in its district.

Only in cases such as this where that other teams fans view their program and teams as the "basketball gods"!!

[stevenash]

If I am understanding you correctly, then, one does not need a good coach or good players to succeed.  All they need is a group of fans that view their program and their teams as "basketball gods"?
