This team might have 4-peated if they’d stayed in 5A. Still pretty amazing what they’ve done after moving up a classification

By the way, how many coaches in our coverage area have gone to 4 state tournaments in a row? We praise certain coaches in this area (and not undeservingly) but some of us act like it’s just making substitutions for Green and Sigler. Those guys are both no brainer hall of famers who deserve to be at the top of any list you want to make regarding basketball coaches in this area or the state.

1000% agree. Boutte is in this rarified air. Particularly those Lincoln years. Green is pretty special in the fact he has taken 4 different teams to the state tourney, winning 3. Four straight regional championships, looking for their 4th straight state title game, puts United at the top of the hill. Since Sigler came back to Silsbee in 2012, the Tigers know nothing other than being regional favorites. These last 13 seasons under him have been some of the most successful years that any team would want to have. 11 regional tournaments, 10 regional finals, 5 regional championships, 3 state finals, 2 state championships. If the prognosticators are right, Silsbee will play in their 4th state title game in last 9 seasons. (some say they played the title game against FF in 2022, so that would make 5). These two coaches resumes are second to none. BTW, I love the fact that Silsbee is a part of both of these coaches career.

The Speaker cannot pass laws. The Speaker can control chair and co-chair positions and I believe deny any bill to come up for a vote. The Speaker cannot submit bills any different than any other member. The Speaker cannot give money to his district or declare an emergency. So what has Phelan done (since he was the rookie in 2021) that any other Republican would have done? Appoint committee chairman? Oh wait, when the Republicans had complete control, Phelan has appointed a total of 30 Democrats to committee chairman positions. Those committee chairmen can control what bills are allowed to be voted on in committee, thereby allowing them to come to the floor of the actual House of Representatives. The committee chairman are therefore in a fairly powerful position and Phelan gave a substantial percentage to Democrats. So, what has this Hall of Fame, multi-state champion head coach done that the theoretical rookie head coach will not do? Appoint more Democrats instead of from his own party? I am almost positive the claimed rookie head coach would not do worse. Your analogy is worse than weak, it is silly. If he wins election to the House again, so be it. If the Republicans again elect him as Speaker, then they get what they deserve. Hall of Fame? Multi-state champion? You’ve got to be kidding…. Again, I will ask, name what accomplishments that Phelan has done that another Republican would not have done in order to get conservative issues past? Oh yeah, his district isn’t Orange County only. It is most of Beaumont, all of Port Arthur, part of Nederland, most of Groves and Port Neches, Taylor’s Landing, Kirbyville, Jasper and so on.

We are living in the Golden Ages of SETX basketball. I dont know a time in history where you've had Silsbee and Beaumont make it to state so often. I think Ozen and Kountze went together a time or 2. Silsbee and United both made it 2 years ago. San Antonio will be packed with families from the 409.

Toe Toe got hurt in the State semi-final game. He had 8 points in the first 4 minutes before going down. Nijal Pearson played a hell of a game as a freshman that night to keep Central in it down to the wire. If they would’ve snuck past Kimball they would’ve won’t it. Central brought back all 5 starters and still missed out on the state tournament due to how good Ozen was the next season. One of the best seasons of Beaumont Basketball that year with Central and Ozen going wire to wire as 1,2, or 3 with Lancaster all season.

I agree

Mere pawns. The machine will find another lawsuit against Trump. And another. And another. (Picture the phrase “And another” fading out into infinity…).

[Hidden Content] Coming from Orangefield where the Slot-T was its offense the last several seasons does not necessarily mean Bridge City will switch to it under Smalley. "I don't plan on running the Slot-T here. After playing the Cardinals last year and seeing what they've got coming back with a quarterback that can throw, some good running backs, and solid linemen I think we'll have the ability to do some different things similar to what they've been doing," Smalley analyzed. "At the end of the day it's going to be what does our talent base dictate that we can do and let's get good at doing that. I get labeled as a Slot-T guy because that's what I've done for twelve years, but people don't remember when I played at Bridge City we were multiple. I've coached in the Spread and have coached in just about any offense you can think of, so my knowledge base is not just Slot-T football," Smalley added.

Yes. Losing just one significant contributor. Three best players return.

Great news, I’m sure he will be receiving the best treatment up to game day

Word I have is that it was not a break but a finger jammed and a laceration on his non shooting hand. I reliable source informed me this morning that he should be a go for Friday.

Got word that Kayde himself stated that he should be good to go Friday.

I agree I believe that Washington is better than this Randall team. With that being said they are still a very good team and we will need to play like we have been and we will advance! Tigers by 13

Silsbee played Randall in the TABC Classic this summer. Silsbee beat Randall by 8 and that was with basically the whole team driving up from 7 on 7 state tournament and playing them that evening. Miller, Bottley, Elam, Johnson and others just played 2 days of 7 on 7. I see Silsbee winning this one by 10

We shall see. Just like Bill was toast. Just like Hillary was toast. Just like Biden (take your pick) is toast. Just like Pelosi was toast. All above had reason to be criminally charged and prosecuted. Nothing. I have lost so much respect and confidence in our “system”. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Put the band and drill team back in the stands !!

Somewhat. Texan Live is under the NFHS umbrella to an extent. That extent will not be next week as NFHS has exclusive streaming rights to all the games. You have to have a subscription to NFHS to watch next week. Texan Live subscription does you no good. Bally Sports will televise the 6A state championship game Saturday night.

Why not teach and enlighten your liberal friends and family members that Democrat policies are not good for the future of this country… check the pride and pick the lesser of two evils.

Yeah you will never convince me Central wouldn’t have won it all that year if Toe Toe hadn’t torn his knee up.

They do all tournament but not MVP

Okay, just one more time about that Harris dunk. Looks like it could have been a 3 point play. #12 got him on the arm.

They don't do that anymore.

They got a shot assuming Dotson is playing. Stony Point needed a miracle last second 3 to make it. Plano East is probably the favorite, but anything can happen in one game when the pressure is on. BU has the experience in big games like this.

Highlights That Harris dunk at 2:45 👍

That dunk to go up 63-57 was nice. He dunk on #4 the post for Booker T.

I think it will be Silsbee and FF for the championship

20 plus years? smh

Lady Cards take care of business beating Northwestern State in their last conference road game. FINAL Lamar wins 80-64. Lamar now 22-5 with 12 wins in a row. Final regular season game Wednesday at home against Houston Christian. One thing I like about their play in the recent games is that they're getting off to fast starts and not having to expend a great effort to work back into the game. For a while, it looked liked they were not ready to play at the start of games.

Great year Brookeland

Lady Cards beat A&M Commerce on the road 74-58 to get some revenge for their only conference loss of the year. Meanwhile, the UIW CARDS beat Southeastern LA by a score of 53-51. This gives Lamar a two game lead over SE LA with two to play. Lamar swept SE LA during the regular season so this should give the Lady Cards the #1 seed and the conference title. Congrats Lady Cards now 21-5 and 15-1.

Actually, it's more like choosing which poison you prefer. The problem that MAGA has is this.... the wheels didn't fall off when Biden took office. In fact, we're in better shape now than at any point in Trump's term. With the exception of the migrant crisis, of course,... but by an other measure things haven't been bad. Me? I'd rather watch some old dude fall around all over the place and get confused about everything than listen to four more years of Trump's nonsense. And most Americans agree with me. Them Trump flags gonna be at half mast come November.

There aren’t very many conservatives left. You have the liberals, the independents, a very, very small group of conservatives, and then MAGA… the people who worship Trump. Conservatives believe that they know best how to spend their own money and want to keep it. Liberals believe that the solutions to all of our problems can be done with other peoples’ money. MAGA believes in whatever their daddy tells them.
