This one was worth the drive alone. 

I am sorely disappointed that Dove did not show up last night to watch his two favorite teams, HJ and Nederland, do battle.  I had even arranged for Sonic, Dairy Queen, Subway and the ATM to stay open late .

From what I've read they don't need a player with that skill set.

nothing. We already know there one of the best teams in the area. 

I feel your pain, trust me.

Diboll only had 4 players suit up as the rest of team had a chess tournament.  Head coach wasn't there either as he was out sick. Nonetheless, good showing by Diboll - keep rolling! 

The rebounding is the main thing that will improve for Silsbee with the football guys.  From a scoring perspective, what they have now is just as good as what they will add.  With a lot of improvement and upside with the young guns.  The fact that they are still playing football will benefit them in the long run because the freshmen are getting a lot of minutes they wouldn't be getting if all the kids were in uniform.  BUT, as pointed out above, Barnes, Mackey, and Mike J will help immensely on the glass.  And obviously, that is a huge part of success on the hardwoods. 

Late to this but the Southern team that upset MST has HJs Shawn Prudhomme as a key contributor.

Final

#2 for buna in foul trouble the whole game get both on the floor totally diff game outcome!!!  

why would this affect anything 4A? silsbee winning state anyway. 

I agree, that is a good win without their two best players. Silsbee handled Kennedale fairly easy last year.
Silsbee and a few others will have something to say about who the best in 4A will be.

Ohh man ohh man.  AAW, you're going 'all in' with that one...  Lol

Wasn't it suggested that we, SETXsports, hang it's hat on a certain team to rep as the "last man standing" when this season came to an end? Wasn't Mecca suppose to be the savior of our weak ass area in this 2015 season? Shouldn't a team that carried the #1 ranking of our beloved area all year make it past the 2nd round?
Actually, I need to see the statistical analysis of last night's game to get a better understanding of how the greatest team since sliced bread lost 42-14 in the 2nd round to a lowly team like Ridge Point. It's completely unthinkable. Something is amiss.
I am calling UIL for a do over. This is a mistake. No way Code Red is out of playoffs before Silsbee, WO-S, Newton, Crockett, Corrigan-Camden, Shelbyville, Lovelady, Centerville, Beckville, Normangee, Beaumont Legacy and Baytown Christian. And the same round as the lowly teams from 22-5A Nederland and PN-G along with the likes of CE King, Jasper, Coldspring, Hamshire-Fannett, Orangefield, Kirbyville, East Chambers, San Augustine, Iola, Chester and Calvert. How can this be?
Please someone enlighten me to this "happening" that took place last night. I am so confused, distraught and as far as I am concerned, the high school football season is officially over. May it rest in peace.
God Bless Mecca for this tragedy.

If I was in town, I would be going to that game, but since I am up north. Jonesboro Richland Springs is calling my name.

In football, I disagree with you buddy.  Could you imagine what Tyler could/would do in his last year 4A?  Ozen would no doubt make the playoffs and like someone said, be a boost to the school and area.  He will get his numbers but they won't result in the W's the team will need to make the playoffs.
 I think someone was being selfish and I'd be a pissed off parent...

I'm just in Central Texas right now. Actually 40 minutes east of the west texas ridge. 5 hours away from Houston, but still 4 hours from Odessa-Midland and 3-4 hours from Lubbock. El Paso is 8 hours from here. Even for me where we tell distance by time, this state is too large.

The problem with SETX and even the private schools in the greater Houston area is that there are not enough Sixman coaches. This is why even in TAPPS, TCAL, UIL, TCAF, etc. all state championships are won from team in west, north, or San Antonio. Those kids grew up in towns playing Sixman from the ground up. With that Chester had a pretty good team this year and the program gets better each year. They went from us 45ing them my senior year. Next year lost by a score. Then they 45d us this year. But I agree if any team from here wants to take that next step they will need to schedule teams from west Texas. 

Ozen basketball will always have a good/great team. This doesn't really affect them. I feel terrible for the football and baseball team though. I know the football team has ALOT of talent but no depth. Most going both ways. That is common at the 4a level. Some 5as do it but generally it either means you have a D1 athlete (Rodney Randle) or you have no other choice. They would compete and make playoff runs in 4a. They won't sniff the playoffs in 5a. Like someone else said they can play WB and Central in non-district play. Heck they play WB every year anyways so just replace the out of state game with Central and you still get the two BMT schools and PAM. I feel bad for the athletes at Ozen who just need a chance to compete against shhool a with there numbers. Smh BISD. 

Central Texas works too. I mean it can be argued the best teams are from Central Texas. Jonesboro, Rochelle, Richland Springs, Aquilla, Abbott, Strawn, Gordon Throckmorton. West Texas really doesn't have much maybe Balmorhea, Crowell, Water Valley, and Happy. Calvert is the outlier.

there's no strong 6man teams around here when you compare it to those areas you mentioned. 

Thank you, we just don't want our kids downed and a undefeated regular season played off like it was nothing. Our kids and coaches worked hard for that season and deserve some credit. It seems like people on here sometimes can't wait for something about Chester to show up so they can start downing us. We are as proud of our kids as anyone else.

Wait a minute, This RP team just barely beat Calhoun, 42-35. Heck, I think Calhoun led in the 3rd qtr. And didn't Angleton beat Calhoun a couple of weeks ago. Very interesting......

Shoot,  looks like Kelly gonna be #1ranked team in SETX before long.  Sheez!!! 

Welp, looks like 6 out of 11 got it right...
