Silsbee-Hebert Shoot-Out
Lady Tigers To Face
Jasper Thursday Night
To Be In Beaumont Friday
It’s down to the wire, fans, as
the Silsbee Tigers face the
Hebert Panthers in Panther
territory Friday night.
The matchup will determine
the winner of the second half of
east zone action in District
9-4A. A win by Silsbee would
make them the district champ-
ions outright. A loss to Hebert
would force a playoff game
between the two teams, No.
2-ranked Silsbee and No. 3-
ranked Hebert.
In action Tuesday night
against South Park, the Tigers
took a decisive 67-38 victory
over the Greenies. It was win
from the word go for the Tigers
as they led the Greenies 16-6 at
the end of the first quarter and
33-14 by halftime.
“We played a really good
defensive game," said Silsbee
Coach Terry Culley. "Their
leading scorer, sophomore
Dwayne LeBlanc, had gotten 24
and 22 points against us in
earlier games. We held him to
14 points Tuesday night.”
Culley said that the loss of
start-er Gleg Horn for the
Greenies probably “hurt them
(South Park) some.” Horn
broke his foot in the game
against the Tigers during the
first half of east zone action in
South Park.
Silsbee shot 63.9 percent
from the floorTuesday night as
the Tigers whipped up on the
home team Greenies. The Ti- ,
gers are now 3-0 in the second
half of zone action, 8-0 in the
district and 28-4 for the year.
During the first three min-
utes of the game, the Tigers
took five turnovers from the
Greenies.
High point six-foot forward
Mance Cutbirth took 16 of his
18 points in the first half, many
of those 16 points coming late in
the second quarter. The Tigers
went into the dressing room
with a 7-2 spurt over the
Greenies which left the Cats
33-14 at the half.
Six-foot guard Lloyd'McArt-
hur hit eight out of 11 shots
from the floor in the, third
quarter to lead the Tigers to a
52-24 lead for that period.
McArthur hit a high of 12
points for the night.
Other top scorers for the
Tigers were Darryl Phillips,
the 6-foot, 5-inch post man,
with 10 points; Donald Jackson,
a 6 foot reserve forward and
guard also with 10 points; and
six-foot forward Anthony Lang
with six points, five assists and
10 rebounds.
Ferrell Artis, the 5-foot,
9-irich guard, brought in four
•points and five assists for the
Tigers during the night. Mc-
Arthur was top man on assists
by handing off six balls which
lead to baskets for the team.
“If we play like we did
against South Park (when the
Tigers face the Hebert Panth-
ers Friday night),, we’ll do
good,” Coach Culley. said. “Of
court?, we’ll be at a disadvant-
age by being on their home
turf, but a champion has got to
beat the competition every-
where. We will be trying to
.control the tempo of the
game...and if we do, we should
be the winners.
The Panthers leading scorer,
Ron Bailey, is a 6-foot, 4-inch
post man who is back from a
good season with Hebert last
year.
When playing other teams in
the east zone, Bailey has been
able to score 20 or 25 points a
game, Culley said- When He-
bert played Silsbee in Silsbee
during the first half of zone
action, Bailey was held, to 14
points for his high in that game.
“The Panthers are also ft
well balanced tpam with plenty
of depth," Culley said. “They

have seven or more good earlier in the season they only
players to work with. We will took 41 points. In their own
be working to stay poised and gym, they only got eight more
to keep them under control."
Culley said the audiences at
the Tiger games have been
very good and that the gym
was "almost full” for the game
Tuesday night against South
Parlp.,
“This game (against Hebert)
is very important,” the coach
said. “We will be playing for
the second half championship,
you might say.”
When asked if the Silsbee
fans would attend the game in
Beaumont against Hebert and
help boost the Tigers in enemy
territory, Culley answered, “I
hope so."
The Tigers barely squeaked
by the Jasper Bulldogs last
week in a game which was a
breathtingler all the way
through.
The Tigers took the contest
53-49.
“We played a good defensive
game against the Bulldogs,”
said the Tigers’ Coach Culley-
“When they played us here

woman from the Texas Depart- ,
ment of Public Safety.

points so we apparently played
very defensive ball."
Culley said the Tigers didn’t
score as much as they have
been scoring because the Bull-
dogs played a different style of
game.
“They played slow, passed
off slow, just plain played
slowly," Culley said. “We didn’t
score as much as usual because
of that.”
Culley noted that the Tigers
outrebqunded the Bulldogs by
seven or eight rebounds and
credited Anthony Lang, Darryl
Phillips and Mance Cutbirth for
many of those rebounds.
High point scorers were
Phillips and Lloyd McArthur
with 14 points each, Cutbirth
with 10-points, Lang with eight
points and Ferrell Artis with
six points.
Culley noted that the Tiger
team shot 58 percent from the
field while the Bulldogs only
managed to make 54 percent of
their field shots.
Thursday night’s game could
mean three in a row for the
Silsbee Lady Tigers.
The Ladies will face Jasper
at home in a game which will
determine the fourth and fifth

The Lady Tigers won two
straight last Thursday night
when they defeated the Bridge
City Lady Cardinals 68-55.
In the game just prior to the
one against Bridge City, the
Lady Tigers defeated the Lum-
berton Lady Raiders 55-51.
Both the Bridge City and
Lumberton games were away
from home.
“Thursday night will be our
last game of the year,” said
Coach Marilyn Cox. "Our teams

and in their playing.”

Tigers in the game against the
Lady Birds were Lisa Sullivan
with 20 points and Sebrena
Beechum with 16 points.
Rosie Halbert was high in
