Doesn't happen all the time but it happens. Just depends on the makeup of the team and the level of competition

That's going to be an odd exception. Nobody long term has stepped in and looked like Tom Brady... C'mon now.

That probably depends on the level of competition your playing against and how bad your backup is. I remember Tom Brady got injured and a guy I don't even remember stepped in and looked just like Tom Brady.

As a guy who pays close attention to 3A football in the area you might not believe me when I tell you this but his freshman year WW would have probably had simular results without him. They returned a lot from a playoff team including a senior qb who was pretty good. They MAY have added one or 2 extra football wins at the most because of Bryant. They lost a lot of guys this past season so the wins were largely because of him but partially because of the D1 RB they went and grabbed from across town also. And you have to take in account there will likely be a step up in competition at Silsbee.

Closes @ 1017. Hope everyone can breathe easier. Is this where I say your silence is deafening? 😄

Txprepsoftball.net is a pretty good site. 2025 pkayoffs is under construction, but a lot of details on this site

While that's true to a point, there are other factors to consider. I've seen very successful HS football teams lose a QB during the season (just one guy), and it tanked their season. And that wasn't even an "elite" QB...

your nose tackle is one guy. a linebacker is one guy. your average wide receiver is one guy. but an elite dual threat qb is the "one guy" who can literally take over a game by himself, assuming he has a halfway decent line in front of him. he was worth about 7 extra wins a year for WW. What would he do for a silsbee team that went 3-4 rounds deep the last 3 years?

QB position is the most important position and can effect the game a lot especially if it's a dual threat QB. But it's still just one guy. And accolades aren't doing anything for you once that whistle blows

Yes, Katy's only loss was to BH, Eagles won 2-0 on March 1. Katy will want to win tonight.

my little cousin plays over there.

Wimberly is open. Warren is retiring.

In this case, Silsbee will get “2” All-American talents.

I agree, except for at the QB position, and WW and Silsbee are two different animals. WW football hadn't had a winning football record in a decade before they showed up. Silsbee goes 3-4 rounds deep most years. Silsbee had a really good qb the last few years. But give them a potential all-american with the talent and athleticism they're already lining up, they have the chance to do something they've never done before. Whereas you put another great basketball player on a team that usually has a bunch of great basketball players, and hey, they're doing what they normally do, but a little better.

Football is an 11 man sport. Basketball is a 5 man sport. 1 or 2 guys will make a lot bigger difference in basketball than it will in football. That's why WW won more playoff games in basketball than football with Bryant.

I understand. And the reason I said what I said is that the basketball team makes it to state all the time. Their odds will greatly increase to go back next year if the Bryants show up, but they have a shot regardless almost year in and year out. Conversely, if you take a football team that has never won state, but has gone 34-6 and won 7 playoff games over the last 3 seasons, and bring in a QB who some talk about as being the best dual-threat qb IN THE COUNTRY for his class... I just tend to think the football team might benefit even more than the basketball team.

Exactly. Plus they have an endowment of over 50 billion freaking dollars.

I am curious anyone can find the information who and where will play at since UIL or Maxprep does not tell the details. I am frustrated and always enjoy to watch softball games during the playoffs. While baseball already have the website with who and location so hopefully any of you know where can I find the website or link. I would appreciate your input.

I listened to a Harvard person on the news at lunch. He was claiming Trump was trying to take their first amendment rights...... People with half a brain can see he is not taking any rights away, only money. They can still teach whatever they want.

Last check…..800+ The stock market is not the #1 indicator of a solid economy.

Thought this was interesting….

The reason I said basketball is because Silsbee is a known basketball town. But yes they will help the football team as well.

when you factor in that HJ only placed 2 players on these teams, half of the rest of the starters in the district got first team or a superlative, with another 15 or so making 2nd. I sure hope there wasn't an honorable mention team for the district this year. I'll have to go back and see if I can find some newspaper clippings, but I'm fairly confident that we honored half this many kids across both the 1st and 2nd teams and honorable mention combined when I played. And I know for dang sure we didn't split any superlatives the seasons I got them. Maybe getting a little older is making me crotchety, but district awards across all sports have gotten out of control. "First team all-district" should be represented by a single player the coaches would pick to start at each position if you made the best 11 possible. The top couple of guys getting superlatives frees up some room to add a couple of more guys to first team. But not half the dang district!

the football team is very good as well. They had a down year last year and went 9-4. adding this family to the district does arguably more for the football team, although it is huge for basketball as well.
