85-84 Silsbee Final

45-42 Silsbee Half

They may have been, but png doesn't have the same team they had last year either...they were much stronger on the back end of their D last season than they appear to be this year and from what I see, png had better team speed last year...png and Texas High does make for an interesting matchup as png does have size and can match up in the trenches..I just don't think they will be able to contain the skill players for TH, but that's why they play the games

lol

I agree with you on this. SOC scares me more than TH.

Beating Hallsville and Kaufman didn’t take that Mid County Madness sting away, did it? Our district had 4 GOOD teams, but not a GREAT team in my opinion. This PN-G team is not the caliber of the previous two versions, again just my opinion. The 3 teams that PN-G barely beat or lost to in district have been thoroughly beaten by better teams in the playoffs. Texas High is really good. You will soon see that.

Hell he did that against Warren earlier this season.

Yes if they can beat THigh I’ll have them penciled in to make it to state and beating SOC along the way.

Made a whole post about respecting Woodville recently. Last season.

You are correct, this isn't last year or the year before. Both of those seasons everyone loved the more talented team and those teams loss. Same will happen this game. WHEN we beat TH, I'm more concerned with a SOC team, because of a running QB. You Ned boys stay home and watch PNG on YouTube. You all should be accustomed to that over the last serval years. LMAO!!

I’m going to try and get up there for the 1:45 to see Duncanville. I’ll update the Silsbee game. Maybe go live for that one.

Never will be a fan of running from competition. But, back to Livingston...... They have good groups coming. And, they can compete with the right leadership. That leadership does NOT have to include the slot-t. Orangefield proved this year that with good coaching a team can run ANY offense and be successful. Culture is MUCH more important than scheme in Livingston.

This isn't last year ...And this isn't the same Injun team imo.....Both teams are good in the trenches, just not a good matchup at the skilled positions . TH can sling it, and run the football.

There are so many democrat possibilities this could have been about.

We need to watch film of the Hitchcock game, HF game and WOS game. We need to see how we match up with them and work on our strengths and correct our weakness. La Vaga will be bringing the same type of team. Thing is, in those games Silsbee was beat up, banged up and slowed up. We've healed up a little now, 100% no, but I believe everyone is playing and that's always a plus. I think this is going to be a really good game. I'm picking Silsbee to win, because that's just the homer in me, whether it's by one point or one hundred points it doesn't matter as long as we get the W. TigerNation!!!

They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.

77-76 Silsbee 3:12 4th

So you saying winner of this game will win state? Interesting…. Randle best team out there imo.

Fair enough.

SOC is alot better than people think especially on defense

Hear early to see what this Austin Brown kid is all about for lufkin

100% spot on…. Sprinkle in a dab of support from admin to make some structural changes in the daily schedule, backing when some get their feelings hurt, and good things are just around the bend

Offensive scheme does not dictate success it's the execution, attitude and effort within any systems.

Anyone reasonable knows PNG has a tall task ahead of them. This isn’t 2023’s team. We still need to see the defense gel into an aggressive, smart unit. But, and perhaps more importantly, this isn’t the 2021 team. In 2021 we weren’t at nearly the conditioning and coaching level we’re at now. Texas High beat us because we couldn’t keep up physically. Granted, Texas High has improved from 2021, and we’re rightly considered the underdogs. We can play with these guys. We just have to execute.

That’s what I was thinking…. How many go 7-8 deep at this level. The 7th one coming off now usually is defensive minded but had 12 points on Saturday. And the 8th is in a boot. Should be back soon.

Go ahead and book your hotel rooms.

After that work you put in, we don’t care. BH made the playoffs before any Baytown kids came around in all sports. Anyways, think this thread has went long enough off course.

Laura Loomer said: "Donald Trump technically isn’t even President yet and he’s done more to secure our border just by EXISTING over the last 3 weeks than @JoeBiden and his DEI Border Czar @KamalaHarris have done in 4 years. Thank you, President Trump!"

So should a "middle of the road" 3A enrollment school be deeper than 6-7 on the basketball team? Are there several 3A schools that go deeper than 8? Kountze is plenty deep to win at the 3A level and that's all that really matters. Be the best in 3A. All this other stuff is just window dressing. I always find it funny when fans critique a small school double digit win over a larger school. It's like it's never good enough. You know, it wasn't too long ago that Kountze wasn't good in basketball. Kountze is most definitely back from those seasons and that makes basketball in our area so much better. So let's not get too ahead of ourselves when it comes to these games against larger opponents.

TBF You can check the thread I predicted the Nederland win.

That’s a heck of a take there. If you could just remove Kountze’s top 6-7 players, you got them.

Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level. We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

Because I picked against yall? 😂 Got it, Chief. Texas High is very good. Good luck.

Right. I never list the NFHS games. We are partners with Texan Live.

Coach Smith smart enough to not allow that mistake to happen to them. Beat me once good job. Do it again shame on me.

Hoping this will be a good game, but I think Texas High has too much. PN-G in both of their playoff runs the last two years haven’t really faced passing teams. Texas High is a balanced offense with a great QB and stud WRs and an outstanding RB. I think it will be similar to the 2021 meeting between the two teams. Obviously PN-G wants to use the big O-Line and run the ball and milk the clock. I just don’t think they will be able to score enough points to keep up with the quick strike offense that Texas High has. PNG doesn’t have the secondary to slow down the passing game in my opinion. PNG is well coached, big and physical and plays hard. I just think Texas High is on a different level. TH 45 PNG 24

Well at least we get a chance to play them while your team is at home??? I assume

You’re using old data. Also, use the data from the actual source—TEA. As of 21/22 (latest because of lawsuits), BHISD & DPISD are both ‘A’ rated. GCCISD & LPISD are both ‘B’ rated. But, both have a higher 4 year graduation rate than Deer Park ISD at 94 & 93% compared to 90%. (How the ratings system works in light of that is interesting in itself.) LPISD’s rating also factors in DeWalt. DeWalt is the school for special needs. Not aware of either of the other districts having a designated school for special needs. But, I may be wrong. Yes. Demographics make a big difference. DPISD & BHISD are very similar. Won’t get into the details. People can figure that out on their own. GCCISD & LPISD are similar. LPISD teachers have a longer tenure rate than the other districts, and a lower teacher to student ratio. Makes sense being a smaller district. None of this affects transfers for athletic purposes. But, it does have an impact on where a parent may want their child to attend school. Meanwhile, I need to start a thread on LP/AMC. All the computers & experts have AMC taking the win. Looking at some of the stats I can find—and video—I’m not sold it’s going to be as easy a game as people think for AMC.

Good game by Coach Mitchell to slow the tempo down as much as they could. Gave Onalaska some good game adjustments to rep. Onalaska shot poorly from 3 today as well only making 8.

I wish PAISD would pay a firm to see how many transfers leave etc. This thread is rich with information and it's denial lol........ Goslin, you are the poster of the year

According to Texas Tribune, Gccisd, Laporte and deer park are all rated B. Barbers Hill is an A. GC has a higher 4 year graduation rate than LP or DP. BH is far and away the best district on this side of town. GC has a much higher percentage economically disadvantaged at 71.7% with LP being next closest at 52%. Surprised that GC is performing so well considering. All of the players that would likely make a great football team are out by GCM and Sterling. If GCM had Lee's coach and dropped back down into 5A division 1, they would be able to compete very well against BH and LP. I don't know what their problem is with getting the athletes to gel into an actual team. Lee still beat them both this year and was sort of a down year by Lee's standards. Lot of injuries some kids moved out of district and they are paper thin as it is.

Been around a few years. I’ve always heard that BH was very good academically. Honestly, sports wasn’t really brought up as a first evaluation criteria. If I was a parent in a large metro area (and Baytown is pretty good size), I’d be looking to send my kids to a surrounding district as well just due to the academics alone. The last ‘report card’ I saw didn’t reflect that well on GCCISD in general compared to neighboring districts other than GPISD. BHISD, DPISD, and LPISD were all rated much higher.

One thing in PNG favor, if you even want to call it that. The TH QB doesn’t run much if not any. This has always gave us problems. I will take a 50/50 offense opponent without a running QB any day.

Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716). The Tiger defense is solid and very quick. Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.

After seeing them donkey stomp my Dogs......Gotta go with Texas High

I think this will be a tough game for us. Our defensive front 7 will need to get some pressure on their QB to help our porous DB’s.

NSU is purple too. I played halftime there once. Also just heard about a tourist spot up there. Get some brownie points with the Mrs. [Hidden Content]

I think we have come a long way from Biblical death penalties to where we are now. In the days of Jesus, one could still be stoned to death for prostitution, blasphemy, or even thievery. Not so long ago in our country, a man could get the death sentence for being a horse thief. Nowadays, they bond out to steal again. Don’t forget Salem witch trials. Back then you only had to be accused of being a witch. To take the life of innocent children or to bludgeon an innocent woman beyond recognition just to do it, is a mindset that cannot be rehabilitated and they should suffer the same fate. These are my interpretations and can be debatable. It doesn’t make me wrong. The Bible spoke for and against the death penalty and I believe it’s about the punishment fitting the crime, as I mentioned above. It’s why Jesus tried to save the prostitute because what she had done didn’t deserve the death penalty. I don’t claim to be perfect but to me, Ibarra and Smith don’t deserve to breathe another breath of life for what they did. God, and only God, should judge me.

Ya got a week to let that narrative sink in
