LCM already beat them twice in basketball. Do want to make a wager on the Silsbee vs Vidor game? I’ll be willing bet 1k on it. 

My G’son played for Ltown several years ago.  Ltown had a good team.  They won 20 games that year, but watching them play Silsbee was misery.  It was analogous to the Ltown varsity playing their 8th grade.  It was evident, even to someone with little basketball knowledge like myself, if Silsbee was playing basketball, Ltown was playing something else.  There’s a reason Silsbee is well known in the State for basketball.

Btw, Ltown did beat LCM, twice that year.  My G’son hit a three at the halftime buzzer.  😂😂🤣😂😂  G’pa was a proud old man.

The disadvantage for Vidor is that they haven't played a team quite like Silsbee.  I guess the Hardin Jefferson game would be the closest, and that was a 32 point spread.  But the Pirates haven't faced a team that's capable of such a fast pace and can really light it up if the 3's are falling. 

The Tigers, on the other hand, face teams like Vidor practically every time out at this point in the season.  They know exactly what to expect.  The Pirates are 1 - 4 in district with the one win coming against hapless Bridge City.  It doesn't bode well.  I'm pretty sure that everybody will get to play.

This Silsbee team is interesting.  They can settle in and run a deliberate half court offense or they can play with reckless abandon.  And they switch gears at the drop of a hat.  It's certainly not boring.

We all knew it was over early once the schedule came out.  

Lol, that was going to be my reply to @Tiger05.  You beat me to it.

Only reason I made that comment was that this thread seemed over the top to begin with.  Everyone who knows a basketball is round knows Silsbee will donkey stomp Vidor in basketball every time.  No contest.  Not sure how it is now but in the early 80’s, when my son was in 8th Grade at Vidor Jr. Hi. I made the first basketball practice.  The Coach has the boys in the stands giving them a rundown, then he says, “Btw guys, I don’t know anything about basketball so if any of you have any ideas let me know”.  It was all I could do to not bust out laughing. 😂😂😂

Hey we beat Silsbee last year in their gym, in a basketball game. I’m not lying, I was there. Handed them the L, no excuses, ifs, ands or buts about it. Now they may still be mad about it, every time we played them since they destroy us and seem to bring a little extra passion with it. We may have poked the bear in a sense, or a tiger in this case.

Pardon my ignorance, I had no idea.  Story should have made the cover of Sports Illustrated. Talk about a disturbance in the Force.  Did anyone check Nostradamus’ quatrains to see if he hinted at this?  Was Ripley’s Believe It Or Not contacted?  ESPN?

You beat our freshman/sophomore team, because of this stupid pandemic. It's still an L in the record book for Silsbee, but when you tell the story, tell the whole story.

The Pirates weren’t very good last year but they can always say they beat Silsbee. Even if it was an extremely watered down version of the Tigers, still counted as a W on the scoreboard. Highlight of the year lol, yea it was a rough season.

It was a weird game, kinda tough to watch lol. Silsbee without their Varsity or JV team and Vidor missing most of their team but we had a couple of Varsity players available to play that night. I bet you won’t ever see that result again… well I shouldn’t say never since we still are doing this pandemic thing.

Yes- and he was right about the Silsbee kids having "extra passion" because of how TACKY lumberton was after the game. The coach ran over to Silsbee's student section and taunted them, the Lumberton team DESTROYED our girls locker room that they dressed in. Spewed gatorade and water all over the place and due to some of the lockers having the holes like caging, ruined several of the soccer teams uniforms with the gatorade...it was a total mess...like they had won state or something. Now our kids had been out for 2 weeks with Covid and a few starters were still out, had not practiced or played in weeks...so there were several factors creating the perfect storm for Lumberton to win. They did win, and congrats to them for it, but all of that extra mess was uncalled for and classless!

      Republicans don't deserve...

      Hold them accountable? Like here in Texas where we have, by any definition, the most conservative Speaker that we’ve ever had. He pushed through an abortion ban and border security measures, reduced school taxes, etc… and the people who put him in office are firing him for not being MAGA enough.    Every third commercial on TV is Trump (or somebody who supports Trump) calling Phelan a RINO and supporting an impotent replacement for the most powerful person in the House.    It’s 100% MAGA, and it’s 12000% stupid.    “oh, he didn’t do those things by himself” says everyone who doesn’t understand parliamentary procedure.

      Me personally I respect posters like @bullets13 @CardinalBacker they vote for a guy and can call out others in the party or the direction a party can be headed.... others on here fall "lockstep" with whatever happens and defend by all means is the mantra it seems... no need to call out names, it's probably you if your mad at this statement 🤣

      I recall prior to midterms the R's and the "red wave" would get America "back on track" etc.... they would end this and stop Biden from that blah blah blah, so what's the problem? It looks like a circus show from both sides and whoever can sit or stand with a straight face and defend it is a 🤡! Desantis would've been a slam dunk for the R's and he possibly would've got my vote... now they pick a guy who lost the popular vote twice lol (yeah I know that means nothing in grand scheme of things).. point being is the dude is highly unlikeable (I also know this doesn't matter) 👈🏾 just getting ahead of the deflectors... personally I hope the clown gets in there so ppl can see how ultra right the clown is trying to push America for... IF he wins in November you can bet he will be on a rampage for 4 years getting lil if anything done, will most likely spend his term for the same thing some of yall complain about daily, going after his opponents... but hey the D's do it right? So yeah it's cool if we do it SMH We're supposed to vote on policies etc while at the same time the person you vote for that made promises to change or fix this and that complains about his predecessor being the issue! It's all a joke What have R's done that's good for America since midterms?  What have D's done? And please leave your feelings out of this and be truthful if possible!
