Good question.

I didn’t even know that was a thing anymore.

That’s my only real beef with the list. But I’m admittedly biased and all selected were certainly deserving. I would have had him on the second team.

I’m sure it was probably someone from further back but in the last 10 years or so, it’s Laquarious Paige for me.

First team Ashton Simmons, WB Jared Harris, Silsbee Drelon Miller, Silsbee Wesley Yates, BU Trealyn Porchia, BU Second Team Kayde Dotson, BU Zac Sells, Kountze Isaiah Melvo, HJ Ben Elliott, LCM Ke’Andre Jones, PAM That’s all I have. Not sure if there were any superlatives.

Saw that too but just a screen shot (couldn’t find a link). Gotta say, I do like the way those folks do their teams. 5 on first, 5 on second. Good list again. I would have liked to have seen a certain Bobcat on the second team in place of someone else from the district but they mostly got it right again. But that’s for a probable future thread.

In fairness, I remember big Colton taking 6’10” Tonny Trocha-Morelos to school in a game against A&M over Thanksgiving when he was a true freshman at New Orleans. He scored it 6 out of the 8 times he touched it on the blocks, despite giving up half a foot to the high major kid. The Privateers lost against that Aggie team with Daniel House and Alex Caruso but I remember watching the game with my son and father and hearing the ESPN guys gush about the freshman from Nederland. And I wasn’t surprised at all. Saw him do the same thing the summer before his senior year against Myles Turner. Seems like he’s had (and still having) a decent career. I won’t argue the guy from the peach basket era that won a medal and some nba titles. He would have to be all time Beaumont Enterprise super gold team with that resume. Not even Stephen Jackson, Perk, BJ, etc. have that combo of accolades.

Never a good idea to sleep on Buna. In that district, if you pick EC, Kountze, OF and Buna to be the 4 playoff teams, you will be right more often than you’re wrong.

That or aggy daddy - both more accurate.

Weisbrod was the mvp of the State his senior year. He was an undersized 4 at the next level so that dictated his offers. A 6-4 SG is more marketable at the collegiate level than a 6-5 (at best) PF. However, if it’s the best HS player, it’s gotta be Weisbrod. And I love me some Hef. As for the other guys, way before my time so can’t speak to them. Colton is also on the very short list of best players in SETX in the last decade.

Where’s aggy!??? 😂🤣 I do note that both THE brand of Texas and the Big 12 conference upgrade are still playing…

One of the craziest series of events I’ve seen in a sport in my lifetime.

I would say both. If have to pick, where they graduated. But Throop is easily the best I’ve seen at LCM. He’s top 10 at HJ.

Pretty high. He was one of my wife’s students when she taught at Kelly, so I kept following him at Princeton. Obviously that list begins and ends with J’Covan but is Persia #2? I can’t think of anyone I would put in front of him. Little Langston has a shot.

Don’t get too crazy buddy 😂

Going to be tougher in a couple of years. Have 2 of the 3 best programs in the sport’s history in the same conference. Those LSU-Texas series should be crazy fun.

Best off-season thread on here in a while. Well done.

They have the most coming back with arguably the best player in the district (I give my buddy from Bellville a hard time but he would be my preseason MVP pick as I’m sure he would be on most people’s cards). I would guess they would be the consensus pick to win the district. Which, of course, means TABC will probably have them 3rd or 4th. But we will see when they play the games. EC and OF won’t be rolling over.

Brandi McCain might be the correct answer to the question. Whatever the female version of “stud” is, that was her.

Guess who didn’t

Two great ones. You could make a case for Caesar on the gridiron too. Little dude was a monster.

He went off at the state tournament. 6-4 or 6-5 wing. Plays WR or TE in football. Athletic as can be.

Gotta know your market

The sophomore that high jumped 6-4 (Sherwood) plays too huh? They have tons of athletes.

I know. Just saying. Still playing up against really strong kids.
