Leggett vs. Abbott at Centerville HS, 7pm (winner faces Neches)

Why is Silsbee playing Hudson twice?

I'll be at this one.

Been told Silsbee will be missing a couple of players tonight but I think they will have enough.

Somewhat. They also try to utilize their size advantage. Start two '6"5 soph. and a '6"4 junior.

I blame this loss on Silsbee92. Wait, these are just scrimmages anyways. Season doesn't start till March 13.

You are correct in that he is out due to injury. I'm being told if he wasn't injured any longer he still would not be playing for Manvel. Just going by what folks have told me that are pretty connected.

I'm being told it was more than an injury. There is a reason why he was not sitting on the bench with the team in the game vs. PN-G.

Back in the day, a lot teams ran this offense or something very similar. So the answer to your question would be yes. Now if you need to narrow your question to more recent years, then so be it.

Eddie Owens played for Houston Wheatley 1970-73. Fobbs. Jr. played for Silsbee and Sam Houston State. He got the nickname of Cardinal Killer from the local media because he always had his best games against Lamar.

Eddie Owens. Wheatley lost to Dallas Roosevelt in state semifinals in 1972. They won state championship in 1973. That game with Roosevelt still is entrenched in my mind. That was the first time I had ever went to the state tourney (my first of now over 50 times). I was an 8 year old boy and what I remember of that game was not so much the actual game (even though it was an amazing game, Roosevelt won 111-109 in regulation) but it was the amount of people watching that game in old Gregory Gym. We were packed in there like sardines and they had closed the doors so the 100's of people left outside were climbing up on the roof to watch the game through the windows up top. It was an awesome site. That experience hooked me for life. My dad (who started going to state tourney in the late 50's and went every year until the early 2000's but had to stop due to health) and I made that an annual father/son trip from 1972 to 2006. 35 straight years together. Dad made 50 straight years. My current streak is at 51 and planning on making my 52nd straight state tourney this March. Oh the memories.

After round one, all my picks are still in play.

No excuse. You need to quit your job.
