Great point. Mike Sherman former NFL and College football coach is 0-8 this year coaching a high school team. Give me WO-S with A horrible coach over Liberty with Coach Hooks. 

That's not even including Isiah Briscoe who is an extremely talented SCORER. That guy gets buckets in his sleep. 

They have the second best true PG in the country with Ulis. One of the top creative scorers in the country in Jamal Murray and to me the best freshman in college basketball with Skal Labissiere. Also Alex Poythress and Maecus Lee return as some of the best Senior and Junior players in the country respectively. Then you have Hawkins, Mulder, Matthews, Willis, and another 5 star freshman big man in Humphries. This team is much different than that 2012-13 team who only had two players who could get you a bucket. Archie Goodwin who was terribly inefficient and Ryan Harrow who was way in over his head. 

Good coach will not win without talent.  Good team will be competitive with a good coach or not.  But a good team needs a good coach to win it all.
I can name several schools that Bill Belichick could not win at.

He's a Kentucky fan and he thinks they should be #1.  Go Tar Heels!

I've had WOS #1 all year, for what it's worth.  

I do believe that the bye at the end of the year hurts WOS chance of being number 1. Rank the teams by strength of schedule, margin of victories and I believe WOS should be number 1. Does having a undefeated season automatically give you number 1, it does not in college polls. imo

It's because 7 out of 11 voters believe you put an undefeated team from a lower class in front of a one loss team that would be a clear favorite if the two teams play.  Which if fine - the beauty of polls is there really is no magic answer as to how to rank the teams.  And it makes for great conversation.  

I honestly haven't understood why they weren't number 1 all year. Not saying EC or Kirbyville isn't good but I believe WO-S to be the best in there state classification. Much less the local 4a-3a poll. 

You wanna see how the PG position is supposed to be played, stick around for the game after Central-Victory Prep at the Hoopsgiving Classic.  You'll see two of the best you will see at the HS level going at it from the 1.  

Please. Adding Chris to THAT supporting cast at Central? They will walk through district. I know, I know..."thats why they play the game." Not in this case. 

You can add a few PA players and Ozen still loses. I'll take Cheesecake Factory Sir

Glad he was cleared by DC.  Although I always appreciate a reason to make a trip to Austin...

Central's newest addition, The Nigerian Nightmare has been cleared to play varsity sports (dropping the microphone). Nuff said!!!

welp, I guess WOS shall assume the top of the middle poll again.  Totally get why EC would be ranked 1 until losing this week but just seemed off that the Mustangs weren't 1 on that list. 

An "outstanding individual" as the head coach say this guy is, would've stopped and rendered help.  A damn shame, he knew he hit something.  Prayers for the family of that mother and daughter. 

I'm only speaking for my local team, but I know there are many others. At a time where we're reading all of the smack talk of area teams getting ready for the playoffs, I would like to recognize the teams that didn't make the playoffs, but continue to play hard for themselves as well as the communities. I would like to give a shoutout to my Barbers Hill Eagles! After getting blownout to start district, they have roared back winning 3 of the last 4 and only losing to CEK by 4. They could've thrown in the towel, but didn't and continue to fight till the end of the year. Good luck to area teams in the playoffs!

The english language is a beautiful thing.
 

What's wrong with being wrong sometimes? Ik I was right win I pick WOS over Silsbee and Silsbee lost to Huffman So now you wrong Santa for saying I'm always wrong.  

You could have Tiger, a Bear and a dang Tyranosaurus Rex and still would have lost that game. lol

Although my son and his team were knocked out of the playoff picture last Friday night, I suddenly realized this week will be his last HS practices and game.
We are very lucky that he will get to go on to pursue his education and play at the next level, but as he told me "Dad it just isn't the same as my HS team"
Got me thinking so I found this while surfing the web.
 
Dear FOOTBALL PARENT, 
You dreaded this year’s arrival, but it has come just the same. A year full of promise, but so many “last times.” Over the years you have helped with countless team meals, washed mounds of sweaty uniforms, chauffeured to more early morning practices then you care to remember. You have been top-of-the-world elated when your son has had a good night and endured his deathlike silences when he hasn’t. It is amazing how the family mood bobs with the rhythm of each game. You have laughed, cried, screamed, sulked, pouted, sweat, pulled your hair, bit your nails, bit your tongue, paced, worried, shoved, frowned, and smiled all very gracefully and within a two hour span. 
Such is the life of a football parent. 
You may not be in on the big play, but you feel the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat right along with your son. You keep your composure when some fan behind you wants your son’s head while the opponent on the field is mashing it into the grass. “Get off him, that's my baby” you’d like to shout! You breath football at this time of year, especially this time of year when your heart whispers “just a little longer” as the season slides by. You plead and bargain, knowing full well that some other parent on the opponent's team is making their own deal with the Almighty, but you do it anyway, because you no more want it to end than your son does. You do not want to see the desperation in his eyes and the pain on his face as he struggles to put away his childhood dreams. You are helpless in the stands, with no way to make it better. 
Is it worth it? 
YOU BET IT IS! 
Every lost game sock, busy Friday night. Every recovering Saturday, every aspirin, every ruined hair do, hot bath, goose bumps, and every obnoxious fan and sports writer you’ve had to tolerate is worth it. The fun isn’t measured by how many times your son gets into the newspaper, the game, or what he does when he gets there. The fun - what makes those trips to the ER for the pigskin stitches all worthwhile, is watching a game, what a sport experience can do to convert your little boy into a young man. Watching him tackle the world and you have a front row seat. 
You still see that rambunctious 5 yr old playing football in the yard. You bite your lip and hold back the tears because though you are fiercely proud of the young man he has become, you miss the boy. In fact you mourn for all the little boys. You have watched them grow up together, plot and scheme together, win and lose together. They have raided your kitchen, camped out in your basement, stole your heart. They are blessed with something they will never have again. They know it and you know it. So you pray that wonder will last another game, and then another, because as long as it does, you hang on to a piece of your boy for a bit longer. Watching him walk off that field one last time will be no less painful then giving birth to him all those years ago. 
We will miss this group of young men. 
We will miss watching them run on to the field like soldiers going to battle, the hi-fives after a great play, the chest slams after a great tackle, the celebrations over a big win and the sober faces after a disappointing loss. We will miss watching the boys we love, play the game they love.....Football.

No.
Not that impressed with those guys in basketball. They were in a weak region.
I believe Big Sandy beat those guys in East Chambers tourney last year.

Aggies are all about tradition.  Wait til next year is a 76 year old tradition...
