Really it's privilege to get to face a team like this. Most teams get eliminated by teams that themselves will get eliminated. The young Tigers had a wonderful opportunity to see what it's like at this level. Playing a team this good in this setting at the Montagne in the third round is a great experience. Frankly the Montagne is a much better basketball venue than the Alamodome. There's not a bad seat in the house. The Alamodome is a terrible venue. The state championship should be played in a venue designed for and dedicated too basketball. There were two tacks the Tigers could take have taken tonight. They could shorten the game and keep all scoring down or play at their normal pace which is up tempo and score as much as they could. Obviously Silsbee choose the latter. The 63 points the Tigers scored tonight is the second highest point total this season against HJ. Only Atascocita, a 6A team, scored more than the Tigers with 66 points. And there's a fair chance that that nobody else in the remaining 4 games, even Argyle, will score 63. And that ain't bad.

fun little bit of math for you: there are 253 5A schools in Texas. considering that there are two divisions, the best case scenario for coaches using your logic is that 239 of 253 coaches in 5A would need to be replaced every 7 years. when your "requirements" at best allow only 7% of all coaches to be considered a success, you need to adjust your requirements, especially when you're only using one factor to judge that success. You're literally saying that 251 out of 253 coaches each year have failed. It's still a really silly argument, no matter how many times you double down on it. You're also completely ignoring the fact that "championship type coaches" can't win championships with the talent at the majority of high schools in texas on a yearly basis. You could put Surratt at HJ and he wouldn't win a championship with the talent they have there, not if you gave him 2 decades, unless a special group came through. He would've had a shot or two with the group they had come through when Padgett was there, but I don't think his coaching would've been enough to overcome the talent/coaching that WOS had at the time.

United - 58 Fulshear - 51 Final

You gotta have discipline in your program. The difference in the football program and the basketball

My opinion: Surratt started winning the State Title in his second year (3 in a row) at Carthage. Don't see any reason why he couldn't duplicate this at, say, Crosby! Same thing goes for Buchanan and Briles. Again -- this is what state championship type coaches do. Oh, BTW, at Carthage, the second year was well below my 7 year requirement. "If" one is a championship type coach then one doesn't have to worry about the 7 year time frame. The ones that would have to worry are the ones that haven't won one in 7 years. If one can't do it in 7, well, then, there's a great chance it's not going to be done. Example: The former Nederland coach and the former PNG coach just to name a few.

Back to semis and finals.

I think they were the best team in the state last year, but some unfortunate decisions in the title game cost them the championship. Looking forward to an HJ-Argyle matchup.

2 - 0 Harris

37 pt lead to open the 2nd half Dunk count 1-0 Harris

Those batteries are far worst for the environment

Folks sleeping on those 14 Loses keep sleeping. Its all good just excited and happy for these kids. They couldve quit but kept working and improving game by game.

Bmt Shewolves on to Regional Semi Finals !!! What a Turnaround !!! Congrats Shewolves. Thats Ok yall not getting much Media attention but thats OK Al Davis once said just win BABY !!

Way to go SheWolves, I predicted a second loss but you showed me up and now move on to Regionals, really proud of you Ladies!!!

Such hostility! why so, my friendly fan of the Purple Beast to our East? Trust me when I say Bulldogs92 is one of the last people (especially on this website) to be looking for confrontation . His post is genuinely out of curiosity.

They are probably ticked off because they moved Aledo up also!

Protest for what? What's done is done. I think @Matthew328 can explain it to you.

Obama had a red line, Biden had a bed time. What an Embarrassment. This is what happens when an election gets stolen.

That sounds almost as ominous as Vlad the Impaler

Silsbee is getting no respect in H Town, as usual.

All jokes aside, the process of picking a supreme court justice based solely on their skin color violates the Constitution. Just read through the 14th Amendment to determine if anybody other than a black woman is having their "equal protection under the law" violated by this process. Because they are.

Don’t you think my post is rather insignificant? You sure seem concerned with it. Look, I’m sorry I called out your misspelling when posting about your association with an institution of education and learning. It was too good to pass up. I’m ashamed I even brought it up. Thank you for the back and forth though. We all just need some football to talk about instead of pointing out other’s faults. Yours truly, SmashMouth the Pedant III

Peaking at the right time???

If your answers were a slot machine, bells would be ringing and JACKPOT would be up on the screen! 😄

NO doubt about it!!

Nederland pitcher threw a gem. Had Silsbee off balance all night. Very impressive

I firmly believe they are the best team in the state. Time to dethrone Argyle!

The amount of talent on that HJ team is unreal. Obviously having one of the top couple of players in any classification in Texas is a huge part of it, but I think they’ll have a very good shot at returning to state the next couple of years as well with what they’ll have after she graduates.

Final 101-51 Silsbee

Rice scored!

I wonder how BF will do at Sulphur Springs and will one of his Rah Rahs @Stattraxkeep up with the video game like numbers there on the offensive side of the ball?

Silsbee thinks that they are playing Orangefield. Somebody needs to tell them they are playing the best team I’m the state and they need to shorten the game as much as possible. It really it was too late already 2 minutes into the second period. So never mind.

Come on United, keep fighting ladies you can do it.

I'll take Silsbee on the upset!!

[Hidden Content] just put a bullet in this guy and call it the day. one sick individual. Thank you liberals

Mustangs, Mustangs, Mustangs for the win. HJ is really good but Wardlow and Pappillion are too big for the Hawks. It will be a good game put the defensive pressure and rebounding will be the difference and this favors the Mustangs!!!

Congrats Buna !!!!

Regardless of who wins any election, to have confidence in the outcome, we must continue to demand (1) real paper ballots with no computers (2) hand counted in a bipartisan transparent process, and (3) citizen voter ID.

When does Toby start ?

Crosby would have a couple of titles if Surratt is coach.

Lord if we’re 1-13 we’re probably glad this season is over.

R.I.P Powerlifter

RIP, Sammy. You'll be missed. Teach Jesus about WOS football. He'll love it.

I have come on this forum before and at times intentionally been a bit of a turd and antagonist, but over on the Smoaky forum I was constantly entertained by Powerlifter and grew to love his posting. I enjoyed interacting with him on there as well. RIP and prayers to his friends and family! Any thing he posted and any thread he started was a Must read.

I always shake my heads at these topics. The loons will only see the issue once it’s their own daughter getting beat by a Caitlyn Jenner The sport needs to be separated by boys/girls, or have just be all inclusive, in which the natural born boys will probably dominate (assuming physical sports)

Prime example of what's wrong with society today "ENTITLEMENT" and it is as bad as it can be at PNG.....how can expect anything different from your kids when they are getting it honestly! If you dont get enough playing time work harder! if you dont make the drill team work harder, if you dont make the cheerleading squad work harder! But instead our parents are going to raise ten kinds of hell and this where we find ourselves today folks! its ok for our kids to fail and work harder, its called life lessons! This will go down as the biggest failure in PNG Athletics history, and be hard to recover from.

Here’s what I have for all of you. I made a grey post so it would not get deleted a few weeks back. Let this get out. These new school board members need to make a decision. Either take care of the administration problems, that are causing the BF debacle. Or get ready to not be voted back in. It’s simple. It’s called the power of social media. And a few of us have the goods. So if you know a school board member, one of these newly elected ones. Pass this along to them. The only thing that generates money and people are bleeding purple for, revolve around sports and the band and drill teams. So if you think, a Joe Dale Cary type of coach is going to come in and do what BF has done, your sadly mistaken. The words been out for over a month. Leaked from the top. My sources, are firm…….
