Matt Graves hits nothing but the bottom of the net from the corner as time expires.  Thankfully, he is a better shooter (and much more handsome) than his grandpa

Heard that grandpa’s head was three times it’s normal size after the game. Had trouble keeping his balance. Hope he is better this morning.

This is the debate with a proposed shot clock.  As much as I like watching basketball with a shot clock because I like a fast paced game, Lumberton could not have the season they have had with one.  They beat WOS twice by controlling the tempo of the game and dictating the game would be played on their terms.  Disciplined, long possessions.   Shorten the game by not allowing the mustangs to have the ball.  My guess is the Raiders probably had a very lopsided time of possession.  

So as much as I love fast paced basketball, I have to agree with my friend @AggiesAreWe   In the high school game, imposing the clock would take away a lot of strategy which, if executed, can be the great equalizer.   And Lumberton Assistant Rideaux is another one vehemently opposed to a HS shot clock.

I’ve seen the raiders in the past play close games with opponents.  This group of young men and the coaches have figured out how to win close games this year.  They’ve been in quite a few overtime games this year and seemed to have pulled most if not all out with a W.  It’s not always pretty but doesn’t have to be.  Sometimes just not accepting to lose can be contagious and these boys play hard and make a play when they need to. Keep grindin.

I'm not sure about it but here's something anecdotal.  

In my opinion the most exciting game the Silsbee Tigers have played in the last four years was the 46-45 win over Argyle in the 2017 semifinal.  No. 1 ranked Silsbee was averaging 105 points per game in a 15 game win streak coming in.  But the No. 10 ranked Eagles weren't intimidated in the least and Argyle set the tempo early and kept it to their liking the whole game.

It was tight all the way with 18 lead changes.  Argyle led 12 - 9 at the end of one.  Silsbee had a better 2nd qtr. and led 27-23 at the half.   Argyle took the lead back 33 - 31 at the end of 3.  Yea, you read right, the Tigers scored all of 4 POINTS in the third quarter.   The Eagles weren't slow just very deliberate and virtually immune to Silsbee's patented pressure defense.

It was obviously a huge win for the Tigers and perhaps the most emotional.  Taken completely out of their comfort zone, trailing going into the 4th quarter, they found a way.  Trajan Harris's 2 clutch free throws to tie and take the lead with seconds left are the highlight for Silsbee.

The Tiger's lowest scoring game in years is also one of their most important wins.

Huge win.  At this point in the season WOS is better than their record.  To go in there and pull out an OT win is a pretty big thing.  And getting to play the runner up rather than the district winner is even huger.  Is that a word?  Finishing district at 8-4, not bad at all.

And I'm expecting a much more competitive game on Tuesday than that ugly thing at our gym.  Watch the passing.  Anything, a 10 second violation, getting tied up, anything at all is better than a questionable pass that results in a quick layup the other way.

Yep, that was a nail biter. Not a lot of high flying that we all like to see but that was a very entertaining game as two teams with separate styles went at each other. The only sigh of relief (for Silsbee fans) was when that last Argyle shot that rimmed of and Silsbee rebounded at the buzzer. To me, that was the “game” of the tourney.

I rewatched the Carter/Silsbee game last night. That was one of the best games I've ever seen. Even the anouncers said so. Much more entertaining than Silsbee/Argyle.

Don't see how anyone can be a fan of this stall ball garbage.

Lumberton tries this on Tuesday, and I hope Silsbee shows them no mercy this time around.

WO-S ain't gonna win with that coach. How many of his players even really care. He's probably done lost the team, so to speak.

So if you were the coach of Lumberton, you would try to run and gun with Silsbee? You have to put your team in the best position to win the game. Trying to run with Silsbee isn’t it.

      I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      I wasn't arguing the point of how an AD keeps his job. The question was "what has happened to Jasper" as in their whole athletic department. They were much much better in those other sports even when football was successful. Not anymore. Something definitely has changed.

      I just don't think it's as big an issue as what's being discussed. My opinion.
