I had the pleasure of seeing Jay McGuire of Silsbee rush for 454 yards and 6 tds against Nederland in '93. He had right at 600 all purpose yards for the game. Simply incredible.

Was that the game that Silsbee won 48-44? If that was it, it was quite a shootout. Silsbee was running all over the field and Nederland was passing all over and nobody could stop the other team.

Yes it was the game that the Tigers won 48-44. The ironic thing about it is, Silsbee needed everything McGuire did just to get out of there with a win because we couldn't stop Nederland's passing attack. That qb shreaded Silsbee's defense that night. But, about the irony, Silsbee lost McGuire to a broken leg in the last game of the regular season and had to face Nederland in the 1st round of the playoffs, we're doomed, right? Not exactly. The Tiger coaches decided to change their defensive scheme against Nederland and instead of playing zone they went man to man and blitzed just about every down, sacking the qb 10 times that night. Silsbee rolled to a 34-7 playoff win. By the way, McGuire's backup rushed for 193 yards that night.
