Silsbee will face their most difficult test of the season. This will be a very hostile environment and they will be playing a ticked off HJ team. Foul trouble and how the refs call the game will be huge! I'm going with HJ 75 Silsbee 59. Hate to do it!

This game is all about pride and bragging rights. Thats it! The true test will come during playoffs to see who gets to Austin. ;)

Just as last year, this game will NOT define the season of either team.

[BLUEDOVE3]

[stevenash]

Dont say that.  It creates the appearance that we agree on something

I use reverse psychology! You and I both know I want Silsbee to win. I just don't know if the refs will let them play aggressive as they Re use too. For some reason when Silsbee goes to Sour Lake, the ticky tac fouls seem to occur. I'd hate to see us in major foul trouble early. We got to defend even better than last game.

I call it a hedge and you are preparing everyone that, if Silsbee were to lose, it would be the fault of the referees.  When you play aggressive man to man defense there are some pluses and there are some minuses.  You must live with both.

[BADSANTA]

What if we win? Will it be luck?

HJ wins 70-59.  I wouldn't be surprised if HJ won by 20.  of course, i wouldn't be surprised if Silsbee won, either.

Santa- As long as the refs are "fair" do you expect a 20 point Silsbee victory?

[BADSANTA]

If the refs are fair and call equally, Tigers by 2. That will be hard to believe though.

So are you implying that the officials at HJ will be unfair to Silsbee???

[BADSANTA]

Maybe!

You were in major foul trouble not because of the refs but because of an aggressive man to man defense which has some pluses and some minuses.  When you play that way, you are bound to be called for a lot of fouls.  In this case, the foul count was divided very evenly and whatever someone perceives about the refereeing, the stats suggest nobody gained an advantage.
