Silsbee also beat Jasper by over 40. my main point is this: you have someone talking about how Central is a better job, better team etc, and basically that Silsbee couldn't compete in 4A. the problem is, Central was beaten by that 3A school by over 20. also, have you ever heard of the term "what have you done for me lately?"
now i don't know a whole lot about Coach Rice, but I do know that a lot of your lack of success has been since Ozen became a full high school and started dominating the area. maybe the smaller selection of players, and the elite players' desires to go to Ozen has had as much or more to do with things than Rice. (again, i reiterate, i don't know the guy)
