Really solid showing by the Lions.

Read about this on a plane last week. Immediately thought of Hagar.

Good point.

My guess is they feel the same way I do when I’ve seen it. Let him and take advantage of his preference to try to score as many points as possible while playing little defense in the half court set and NEVER boxing out. I’m sure Sutherland and the other coaches like the 5 on 4 concept when they have the ball WOS let him do it and still beat the Tigers 2 out of 3 that season. And their best player outplayed him all 3 times, despite graduating at 17 while his counterpart aged out at 21 before the next fall.

Just cause you can make up an argument doesn’t make it a good one or a legitimate one. I’m aware UIL signed off on it. As long as you are in resource classes (what we used to call special ed), you can be close to drinking age and playing high school sports. For those that aren’t, you better not turn 19 a couple of weeks before Sept. 1.

😂🤣

Knew I was forgetting someone big. He WAS on that team. As was Clay Davis. Not only were they one of the most prolific scoring teams in Texas history, they produced some dang fine coaches. And what a coaching staff.

For you guys who were around back there, do any of those guys on one of the best SETX teams ever deserve a mention for HJ, the record shattering ‘91 team? Burke? Holmes? isabell? Who am I missing?

I wonder if you know how many shots he took in comparison to some of the other guys. I would think Elam is one of the all time leading scorers at Silsbee too. He was also 20 years old and probably scored at least half of his baskets snowbirding (leaking out on defense and getting uncontested layups). Stats are great but you also have to watch the games. Bosha was great. But better than a few of those other guys, no way.

How can you not love the joker? [Hidden Content]

Bosha wasn’t even the best player in that district. Q was better in HS (and continued to be in college). Bosha is definitely after Donahue, Spears and Prudhomme (in no particular order). Probably some others I’m missing as well.

Exactly. When you only have 10, some quality ones will be left out. But still the best way to do it imo. Been the most prestigious honor in SETX for awhile now (in hoops anyway).

Solid hire. Hopefully he can build on their recent success.

Lol! I saw it before I saw this. Thank you my friend. My wife and I enjoyed your post while eating our lunch!

Holy smokes. I couldn’t get the game where I am so was watching game cast on phone. Just showed a single. Saw the replay earlier. Hate we lost but feel awful for Campbell. That kind of thing will mess with your head for a while.

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.
