Actually they played Three Way. It’s a tiny ISD outside of Stephenville.

They might come out of Region IV because it is generally the weakest region, but I was extremely unimpressed the one time I saw Liberty Hill this year. Silsbee would run them out of the gym. Decatur is an interesting team who looks to be the favorite out of Region 1. They have a 6’7 or so post that can play, a guard/forward who is solid and they play really solid team defense. Most importantly they play really well together and are extremely, extremely well coached. I think they had a better team two years ago. They were district champs that year, Argyle finished second and we know how tough they were at the state tournament. Anyways, Silsbee/Decatur would be an interesting matchup similar to the matchup with Silsbee/Argyle two years ago.

Was that A. Farias led team? He could play.

Hardin and Anahuac fluctuated between 2A and 3A in the 90’s and early 2000’s. EC stayed 2A.

They had some kids they could go from 2000-2004 ish. Think they moved up in class around 2004 which slowed their success, then the loss of Joubert obviously hurt.

No it was after that around 2001-2004 or 05. They had a couple of 8-2, 7-3 type seasons which is about the best there ever had in back to back seasons. Westfall didn't get there until 04 or 05.

Nah. Their best years were right before Westfall when they were still 2A(now 3A). District champs(tied with East Chambers I think) one year, and runner up another. Loss in playoffs to state champ Garrison. They should have done more, much more when they dropped to 1A and Westfall was the coach. Letsinger and Copeland are about as solid as you could find in 1A in this area at that time, and a first round exit is all they had to show for it.

It kills me to see Allen win in anything, but their coach does an excellent job with them. Still think Guyer was probably the best team in Texas this year.

Give me..... Lipan Bowie Thorndale Northwest(in a close game) Silsbee(in a close game) Allen

Northwest has one of the better point guards in the Class of 19, Avery Anderson. They also have a man child OU football commit who is their 6th man. I think they are the favorite to win, but Memorial can beat them.

Excited for this game. Rematch from a playoff warmup game a few weeks ago in which Bowie won by 15 or so. Should be a low scoring, fundamental affair. Bowie is coached by the elder Boxell, who won state a couple of times with Ponder. I think he wins it this year too.

I think the winner of Brock and Bowie tomorrow wins state. And I think Bowie may surprise Brock tomorrow.

Agree. Bo Outlaw could play a little bit too.

That's fine, but didn't Jones leave last year yet K'Ville still thought enough of Coach B to keep him around for this year? If they wanted to get rid of him last year after the season would seem like the time to do it. I don't have enough interest in Kirbyville to continue this conversation, just think it's pretty damn unprofessional the way it was handled. Good luck to all involved.

You're right. Think it was regional finals.

You are right. We don't know all the details. And if something serious is going on behind the scenes that comes out then certainly it will be more understanding as to why he was reassigned. But. Let me ask you this. If y'all had hired a new AD/HFC without experience in baseball, would Coach B still be coaching the baseball team this year? My guess is yes. And that's what makes this situation so unprofessional.

Well said. The now former baseball coach has been successful there, and I believe he took Orangefiled to the state tournament a few years back. He's been working with the kids all year and probably looking forward to a very successful season as I think they Kirbyville is supposed to be pretty good this year. The damn season already started. Yet in comes in a new AD and HFC, who happened to be his assistant last year, to relieve him of his duties. Pretty damn bush league. It makes the new AD look bad, and the town look bad from the outside. This simply could have been handled in a more professional way, and it wasn't. But it appears the people in K'Ville don't care. Sad.

Your first sentence is true. Your second sentence is beyond dumb.

Lol. Desoto has D1 talent all over the field EVERY year. Since 2010 they have averaged about 7 D1 kids a year. They weren't going to win state that year without Robinson. You know that.

Someone played a weak non district schedule and someone didn't.

Desoto won state because they hired Shawn Robinsons' mom to be their girls basketball coach. Not because Claude Mathis laid the foundation.

The Whataburger tournament is still probably the best but Tenaha is gaining on them.

Grapeland is 2 hours away from DFW. Grapevine is in the midst of the metroplex, but they are 5A.

Argyle is absolutely nothing like Levelland from last year. Levelland was 25-12 heading into the state tournament, and came from a much weaker region. Argyle is 31-4 heading to the state tournament, and beat #15 Wilmer-Hutchins, #8 Carter, #6 Center and #14 Paris to get out of of their region. Silsbee should and probably will prevail, but it will not be a blowout like last years semifinal game.

Lincoln won 61-55 in OT. Saw it with my own eyes.
