Some folks have known but I will make it public. My time as a full time administrator/broadcaster is up. I told my wife of 33 years that when she retired from teaching that I would retire with her to the beach. She retired last May and I told her I would finish out the football and basketball seasons of this year then I would join her. (would have joined her in May but needed to stay on after the passing of our beloved admin WOSGrad). I am so ready to be a beach bum. I have enjoyed these past 17 years here on the site. I have seen it grow from just a little message board to now be considered a valuable media outlet. It truly has been a labor of love. First of all, I want to thank Jordan Wilson, the owner of this site, by inviting me on as a staff member and eventually an administrator. He trusted me with the help of running this site and allowed me to "do my thang" and start my broadcast career. It has truly been a blessing. Thanks I want to thank Todd Broussard (WOSGrad) who is looking down on us from heaven. He has been my partner in crime for all these years and is the reason this site is what it is today. He was the man!! I dearly miss my old friend and I hope that he is up there saying "job well done my friend". Thanks Todd for everything you did for me and this site. I want to thank all the staff members here. Particularly Lucas, Mack, Robert, Terry, Matthew and all of the other staff. You have helped make this the place to be as for Southeast Texas sports. Thanks for all the support over the years. Thanks to all the coaches that I have come to know and work with all these years. Thank you for your support and cooperation and your acceptance of me and SETXsports. I am truly grateful. Thanks to all the members here who really are what makes this site so great. I have become friends with several here and I cherish all the times we have spent on and off this site. God Bless all of you. I wish all and this site the very best. I will still be around some but it will be mostly from my chair on the beach with my toes in the sand holding a cold one. Thanks again to everyone and May God Bless.

I hear Arceneaux won tournament mvp. Congrats to him. Great kid raised by some good people! But my pick for tournament MVP would’ve been Dotson or Porchia. great back and forth game. I’m just glad BU was able to make the better plays at the end. They caused turnovers late and made key free throws. Key steal late for Porchia. I look forward to the parade once the team gets back to Beaumont!

Rodgers took a no-hitter into the 6th and then moved on to 4-0 on the season

Have a good one.

Bottley was Silsbee's best defender. Period!

Last 2 tournaments out scoring opponents 31-2 in Rusk tourney / 4 wins 57-1 in Groveton tourney / 5 wins

“Get off my lawn” alert! 😂

409 does it again in 5A!!!! Congrats to our brothers in North Jefferson County once again! That's 3 in 5 years: Port Arthur Memorial 2018, Beaumont United 2021, 2022. Who's next?!

Finally, somebody in the area wins. Fantastic

It would be easier these days to post those that didn’t make it .

Rap is a drum beat for a person who can’t sing.

Unlike The Greater Metroplex of _ _ _ _ _ _ and others no recruiting or coercing middle school players or their parents to allow their kids to come to BU is done or necessary.

Yes they do but they don’t just walk on the floor and know how to play. Silsbee is the perfect example of players and parents that buy in to a system and are successful as a result.

Gonna miss you in this role. Good luck and God Bless

Thanks so much for all you have done for this place. You will be missed for sure. Enjoy retirement and best of luck going forward. I miss da warden too Bob

Happy retirement Mike. Man, not may people get to make a career out of something they love, like sports. You blazed a trail. You have kept me informed. I love Silsbee Tiger basketball. I like football too but not nearly as much as basketball. Has it been 17 years? I guess so. I've been around for most of them. Before this board getting information on Silsbee sports was hard to do. The local Houston teams just don't excite me. Then the frustration ended. I would tweet on twitter. WOS would sometimes comment back. I didn't even know somebody was paying me attention. SE Texas fans have been blessed especially tiger basketball fans. You did a great job.

Couldnt put the entire doc. Gotta up my game. lol.

Thanks Mike and Happy Retirement ⛱🌊🍻

Great job over the years! Thank you for the service you provided and if I see you on the beach, I’ll have a cold one waiting for you! Headed down there today as a matter of fact! As far as the site, I’m assuming this is going to leave a pretty large admin void. Let us know how we can pitch in to help. We can’t afford to lose this. This is the best site out there. Sorry Smoaky, but you just don’t compare!! Shots fired!

Thanks Beaumont United for another Fantastic Ride on the BU Train to San Antonio. Some thought we wouldnt get there because we were too "inconsistent". Thanks coach Green and staff for on and off the court leadership for these players. Thanks BU administration and student body for the support at home and away. Thanks BU True and loyal fans. Thank you Naysayers for your constructive/negative criticism. Victory is sweet Back to Back 5A State Champions BU !

Fair play, integrity of the game, avoiding any appearance of impropriety, avoiding altering players careers, disenfranchising fan bases, opening itself to criminal gambling influences, the list goes on. Yeah I know these are archaic concepts that NO ONE cares about anymore, but I still do. I have the audacity to believe there is still a right and wrong, even though we are talking about the National Felon League. Crazy, ain't it?

They had two return this year that were also their starters last year. One was diagnosed with a rare disease and missed the first half of district but was able to return the second half and made first team. He has another year.

I know we had our rifts but salute man. 💯💪🏾

That's where the 2nd team all district comes in.

A&M CC wins the Southland

That wraps up the high school basketball season here at SETXsports. It also wraps up my full time administrator time here at SETXsports. I am hanging it up. Will post a little farewell thread tomorrow. Go check out the baseball and softball forums. Seasons are in progress.

2-1 jasper over bc

Interesting topic, there needs to be 8 per team( maybe 10 on 1st team) because in all reality that is what a real rotation looks like at most levels. I think 5 would be silly because nobody only plays 5 for a whole game. So it looks like harris and miller were the two best players, who was next? LCM/OF/WOS/BC/Vidor/& Lumberton all had good players. I saw all these guys when my Indians played them, please don't just give me the most ppg because that is not a true indicator of who was the best.

Aggie before we go I want to say we appreciate you and what you have done this weekend and thanks

I posted it on here before in a thread. No one talked about it lol

We will get them Tuesday night

You can bet all mask wearers now are good Democrats.

I heard that and was like WHAT??? 😂😂😂😂😂.

Bottley aka "The Glove"!!! Ask Caldwell at Faith Family and the Booker T Washignton guard who was hot the 1st half vs Silsbee to be shut down in the 2nd half. Bootley will stick to you like glue.

Faith Family playing UIL 4A basketball is a farce. UIL should be ashamed

Center 9 Alto 8 Final

More what I was expecting just isn’t right this team is 4A

Congratulations!!🎉🍾🎊

Not anymore, not any good either lol but rep that 409 none the less. Throw ya V’s up. I get you were talking 5a and Jefferson County, very impressive indeed.

Vidor Pirates gonna shock the world… lol I keep saying it but never happens. Big congrats to BU B2B and good luck to Arceneaux at UH will be keeping an eye on him.

Final Vidor-18, Shepherd-1 WP-Logan Morris

i agree on 5 and 5 makes it a little more prestigious to earn yes playoff should not even be in process - it has nothing to do with district play

Shouldn't be 10 players on first team. That's not even including superlatives. As for when to post, I think it's tacky to do it within 5 minutes of the last team losing.

I am not criticizing your comment but “headlines” are usually clickbait and/or sensationalism.

You young whipper-snappers have a weird taste in music (or more accurately, noise). Good grief, no wonder this country is about to implode. It all started when The Beatles came out with Yellow Submarine, and it gets worse with each new style. What’s worse than Rap? My mind refuses to go there. And to think, I used to respect you guys - Hoops, tvc, bullets, AAW, Smash Mouth, and et tu baddog? Carry on children. 👽👽👽👽👽🤦🤦😳🤦🤦👽👽👽👽👽

I went to Kelly bluebook to get the current value of my vehicle. They asked if the fuel tank was full or empty.

Proper timing. [Hidden Content]

First coaching job was at Tarkington. Had a 7th grade boy turn in a 20 second 200! After that 1st meet he ran a normal time for 7th graders once he figured out that if you start in lane 8, you have to finish in lane 8!😃
