I don't know anything about Athens, except for them getting their star back recently.  From looking at the score tonight,  it appears they play a deliberate game.  If the Tigers get to running it could be a long night for them.  If that is their style and its a slow game,  it could be interesting.

There has been a lot of talk on strength of schedules this year.  The Tigers  schedule was tough and they have 4 wins over teams that are still alive in the regionals this weekend: 4A Ozen, 3A Pleasant Grove and H-J and 2A Kountze.  Hopefully these will have helped the Tigers to pick up a couple more wins this weekend!

Athens vs. Silsbee, my, my.  Two of my favorite town going at it head to head.  I love Athens.  I've been there a few times.  My church conference owns a spot of land there, and we going there and have church camp meetings every summer.  Beautiful area, hard water and all.  Several lakes, lots of fishing, you name it.

Silsbee is home though.  Blood is thicker than turnip juice, lol.  Go Tigers!  I won't be at the game though.  I plan to observe the sabbath, being I am a Seventh Day Adventist christian.  They had a big write up on the sabbath in the Houston Chronicle, as it relates to the playoffs.  Check it out.

I am mindful of the sabbath every year when they have the regional tournament, which I don't attend for this reason.  It is not that big of a deal for me, I'm just bringing it to attention.

I talked to coach SIG last night after the game and he said he was very familiar with Athens he knows how they play and what they like to do. He said when he coached at Clarksville that Athens beat his team in 2 overtimes, and his team beat them in a later game so I'm sure coach SIG has big plans for Athens. Good luck tigers just win.

They did score just over 70 in each of their first two playoff games so it may have been Fairfield slowing the game down.
[/quote]That would be my guess. Saw Athens play about a week ago. They have speed and like to push the ball. Decent shooters........Should be two great ball games Friday. Looking forward to watching both games.......

You just described Silsbee lol, SPEED, change decent shooters to good shooters, and add in those scorers they have.

Found out Athens was runner up in there district and Brownsboro won that district and they were defeated by Waco Connally in the area round.. And Connally lost tonight 70-31 to Waco La Vega .. just a few interesting things to point out.

Athens was playing without their best player at this point.

Athens would likely have won the district if the good player they just got back had been playing during the district competition

Does Athens have any length?
[/quote]Biggest man is 6'3".... I believe they have a 6'2'......the rest of the starters are about 6' or under.....they rebound well for their height. Very athletic.
[/quote]

Has Athens had any run-ins with Gestapo this year?

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
