The UIL: "Former North Shore offensive coordinator Andrew Cameron recruited players from area schools, and is suspended for 3 years." Andrew Cameron: "I did in fact recruit players from area schools." Coach Izzy: "Listen guys, that didn't actually happen. Trust me."

Love seeing a local team in it from every classification. Our coverage area is well represented!

I believe one can safely say that 4A Region III in the last 20 seasons runs thru Silsbee.

Agreed, and so has Prieto. Congrats to him and Dayton.

“Sit this one out bud” you been wrong the whole time. You trying to act all tough and in know but you been wrong the whole time🤣🤣 give it a break.

Obviously the UIL got it wrong because Coach Izzy "really knows what happened", they just randomly hand out 3 year suspensions for DMs.

Dave Tepper with Texas Football Magazine reporting "Former Galena Park North Shore offensive coordinator Andrew Cameron suspended three years, head coach Willie Gaston suspended for two district games by UIL for recruiting infractions. The UIL Executive Committee did not punish the North Shore program, instead focusing it's judgement on Cameron, who admitted at Wed. hearing to recruiting players from area schools. Gaston, whom the committee ruled was responsible for the program as a whole but did not participate in the violations."

Dayton could NOT have made a better hire. This could quite possibly take Dayton back to where they were with Stewart, a perennial playoff team with the potential to make a run. Very impressive after the last few "buddy" hires.

I wouldn't call him smooth in QB terms but he is a great athlete which is why Coach P will probably switch him to RB like he did with Reggie Branch at Crosby after he played QB for a couple of years. It may be a blessing in disguise for him since he was probably going to be recruited as an "athlete" versus a QB anyway. He may still transfer if his feelings are hurt and he's dead set on playing QB like a couple of transfers we lost from the '27 class were I think he'll probably end up liking whatever role Coach P carves our for him in the offense. Coach P and Coach Poth(DC) get kids to college.

Lots of staffs at winning programs have "talent acquisition" guys, it's an open topic in south Dallas county. North Shore is about to take the reprimand for the whole east side when they get less kids than CE King and lower profile transfers than Summer Creek. I think the UIL does the least they can to NS so they don't start going down a slippery slope around the rest of the state because I can 100% guarantee you Coach Cam is far from the only one that has sent sketchy DM's to kids.

He’s also bringing the DC which is his most important assistant since Prieto calls the plays. The OC at Crosby under Prieto is most likely coming too. Most important pickup will be Prieto Jr. Held his own this year in his playoff start as a freshman and should end up a high 3⭐️ recruit at minimum. Dayton has their Jerry Stewart and fell into Cody Green-lite. Congrats Bronco fans, looking forward to the opener.

Bro would walk into a confession with a serial killer and tell the detective he didn't do it because "I have behind the scenes information".

We know that one thing for certain: “Coach Cameron will be doing something else” for the next three years.

Well! We'd be more than happy to have Washington move up to 5A and BU can play them to their hearts content! And while they're at it HISD could combine Yates, Wheatley and Furr into one fair sized 6A school! 21-4A is too big anyway.

I guess whichever ones he admitted to doing so to the UIL. How would I know who they are? I don't know a thing about the situation other than I just read through this thread and all of your "insider information" turned out to be worth about as much as what I personally already knew about it.

Compared to what Dayton has hired the last 3 times they have. 😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀

I think that was a talent issue/learning a new system. Look at the 5 seasons prior to them going back to back 10 win seasons.

Dude, North Shore just came and got our star '27 receiver. When Coach P was at Crosby he pulled up in Barrett Station one time because he thought/heard a North Shore coach was trying to acquire his kids during some training sessions. So a head coach with zero connections to the area was already concerned about his kids being poached by North Shore. Furthermore, at the area track meet in BH last year I was offered a "way" for both of my high school sons to come to North Shore. Again, you can parse the words whichever way you please but the UIL just agreed with my point of view so it seems you're the one making baseless statements even though you "know what's going on behind the scenes".

Solid team…..one real deal player is not gonna beat BU. If seven lakes big can’t shoot from outside nor handle that means BU s big plays more minutes (advantage BU) I give this to United to much championship blood there. Plus I think the way the WB game ended just woke them up.

Congrats to both United and Westbrook for a hard fought game. I predicted it would be a battle. Sadly only one will advance to the next round. Familiar territory for United for the fourth consecutive year. Like United or not the program is solid and well coached. Hopefully 409 will support United as they thrive to return to San Antonio. Lastly thanks to one of the G.O.A.T. in Texas Coach Andre Boutte thanks for the memories.

I disagree with this wording. That implies the horns sort of gave up. The truth of the matter is they had 5 players, no bench help at all imo, appeared to give it everything they had, but silsbee made more plays, especially Harris at the end and Elam throughout. With no bench or true post, defeating the Tigers isn’t going to happen. It was a fun game and great effort but I wouldn’t imply that those 5 nor the staff “communally agreed” to give up. Harris just took over, which is what one would expect a Memphis commit to do in such settings.

I was going to say Foster would make a great RB or WR. I see him being switched to one of those 2 positions. From what I saw last year he is more of a runner than a passer so the transition to one of the other positions should be a good thing for him and the team all together.

You could write a book on the things our federal government has no knowledge of but still wants to govern them. Agriculture, energy, education, environment, housing and development…just a short list but departments that should all be abolished, in a perfect world anyway.

Everything flies way over your head. You don’t even have to duck.

That's an understatement. Knowing what that team has gone through and what talent he has (or lack thereof), this could be one of his best coaching seasons of his career. I certainly didn't have them to be 4 points from a regional tourney appearance.

This win sends Silsbee to their 16th regional tournament in last 20 seasons. Only 4 times in that span that Silsbee didn't make regional tourney was 2006, 2011, 2013 and 2014. This is their 10th consecutive regional tournament. ('15, '16, '17, '18. '19, '20, '21, '22, '23, '24) A win vs. Wheatley Friday will put the Tigers playing in their 14th regional final in the past 20 seasons. Been a pretty descent two decades for Silsbee.

I know you’re happy. Isn’t that where you’re from?

Really nice win.

Final 44-39 Sabine Pass SP makes their first ever regional tournament!!

they going to come take Coach Izzy's ring away from him....

That had a little, but obviously not everything, to do with Silsbee not playing their best. Horns scrapped down low and caused some turnovers with hustle. Nothing for HF to hang their heads about, and a nice tester to wake Silsbee up moving on in the playoffs. It’s been awhile since they’ve been challenged. Good luck to the tigers moving on!

Yes, will be much deeper next year, but Wrinkle will be a huge loss

They just have way too much firepower. One of their kids I know well is junior Elijah Sherwood. Really good kid. You could argue he’s the third best player on that team. He would also probably be the best wing in the history of Orangefield basketball. We would need to shoot the ball as well as we possibly could shoot it even be in the game. Still a great season for the Bobcats, record setting season in wins and record tying season in playoff wins. Future is very bright.

Congrats Coach Prieto! Crosby punching air right now…

It's so funny looking back thru threads like this. 😎😁

They don't even understand what is happening in SETX either bro.... couldn't draw ball on a board to save their lives

Marshall just escaped with a two point win over Friendswood but they are still my pick to win region.

United, Silsbee and Brookeland

To me this could be the most impressive season for BU if they go back to state and compete for a title. Clements lost on a last second buzzer beater. #24 for Seven Lakes is the real deal. Going to have to find a way to shut him down or contain him at least.

At least one huh? Dorsey and maybe one more? The two athletic wings I really like (Jones and Sherwood) are both juniors though.

That was last week and the game was not in Mexia... I said everyone loses to mexia like that IN mexia

43 seconds 69-66 BU

1:25 66-62 BU 24-9 run by WB

Great season Orangefield!

End 1st 21-16 BU

OF playing the slowdown game well, but it’s not bothering Hitchcock at all

OF - 4 Hitchcock - 18 5:09 left in second timeout OF

I'm wondering what the Horns might do to alter the experiment. I'm a Tigers fan so this is devil's advocate stuff. The Tigers like a fast paced game and they're streaky so don't let them be that way. Do whatever you can to break up the flow and continuity of the game. Even if it's going against your own nature. Go very slow when the clock is not running. I'm not saying go slow when the clock is running. I'm saying play with speed and high energy and use that energy to limit the number of possessions, And as I've said before sacrifice offensive rebounding for defense. Backcourt guys can't get sucked into going after careems unless it's coming right at them. Certainly if you're beyond 15' from the goal and a shot goes up don't pass go don't collect $200 but immediately start back peddling until you see you're guy get the rebound head back on defense. And no errant passes. An intercepted pass is the worst kind of turnover. It would be better to just throw the ball into the stands. A turnover that results in a back court inbounds is usually not going to result in a quick layup or open 3. And getting tied up is the best kind of turnover because you get the ball back half the time. Otherwise it's going to be that 20+ Silsbee win that everybody (including me) seems to expect. Frankly it's mathematical or like before the fact memory, something that's already happened before it's happened.

The stock market is doing good because they anticipate a Trump victory in November!
