Maybe his coach is not a member or he did not submit the paperwork.  I cannot imagine another reason why he would not be on there.

Maybe they thought having the three best players in the district on there was enough?

Pardon me but who cares.  THSCA doesn’t hand out titles.  I’m sure it’s an attempt to get UIL’s attention.  Maybe it will work. 

No Kountze Lions on the All Region teams?  Say it ain’t so.  How are all region teams determined?

The down side of the portal is already showing up for Lamar this off-season. Reigning Southland Freshman of the Year Nate Calmese, who averaged 17.6 points per game, entered his name into the portal. Fellow freshman Yuto Yamanouchi-Williams, a 6-foot-10 center, said Monday that he will also enter the portal. 

Jason Thirdkill and Trey Harris said Tuesday that they'll hit the portal, too.

Thirdkill is the toughest loss of the 4 imo.  Harris was a walk on who played very little.  Calmese was the top scorer and on paper the biggest loss.  Definitely wish him well.  But there were plenty of issues there.  And Yamanouchi was the beneficiary of attrition.  4th best big on the roster after adding Janko (who also was promptly injured).  With all healthy, he would struggle to get minutes.

…..and The University of TEXAS just beat the snot out of Kansas…..76-56.

Twice in one week.  If we could start making shots, we could be dangerous in the tournament.  Have enjoyed this team more than any we’ve had in quite some time.  Terry has done a great job.

I’m just here for the dummies in here that said Tre Johnson wasn’t that good & that LH was only a two man show!

BU no reason to hold your heads, no shame in almost 3 Peat’n you put the city on the map! Great run fellas y’all made history.

For me, Johnson is the best player I’ve seen in Texas HSBB right now and that includes Ron Holland (top ranked 2023 kid in the state).  For those who aren’t convinced, maybe you will be during his NBA career.

Man I swear.  Every time Payia puts the ball on the floor, it’s a turnover.  If you gonna get him involved, let it be a catch and shoot!

I’m with you. He’s one of those “you get two dribbles and that’s it” guys.  

Like how many people?

Hitchcock up 52-39 with 4:18 left 

Pulling away.  How is Sherwood playing??

What is the attendance for the bigger games at State these days?

That would not be a good move by them, I hope they do it 😂 

 

I think they should take a look at these 4: Pitino - New Mexico, Chin Coleman - UK, College of Charleston HC and Florida Atlantic HC. 

Wade will be announced as the new HC at a different place on Monday.

Mark Adams has stepped down from Texas Tech, figured that was coming soon. 

Should hire Beard back.  Was a perfect fit for both.  Would never do it but should.

Hitchcock is very young. The bulk of their scoring, rebounding are soph. Only one senior contributes.

85% of their scoring will return next season.

Elijah Sherwood is a beast.  May be the best player in 3A as a sophomore.

All I know is lil Payton gonna get his.  Dre will handle his.  Harris will too.  Ashton CartWright. Another Cartwright.  3 or 4 good players from the JV.  That's a championship.   The NIL gonna be there regardless.

What if he got seriously injured?  Or what if his nil deal was conditioned on not playing any other sport? These kids that are at Drelon’s level can now become millionaires before they leave college.  It’s easy for us to say be loyal to your hometown. I can tell you, I love my hometown but I love my family more. Drelon and Jared should both be in the top 1% of income earners in Silsbee, Texas within months of graduation.

I'm not counting on Miller being back to play basketball. Word I am getting is he will enroll early to college in order to play spring football. But, that was based on possibly winning a state championship this year in basketball. We will see.

With what is on the line for a 5* wide receiver in this day and age, he probably should be done with basketball period.  Otherwise he’s doing some high stakes gambling.

Most folks outside of Silsbee don’t realize what an unbelievable floor general Bush was. With a PG of his abilities on this years club they’d be special. He just wouldn’t let em lose. 

Very true.  And I know most of us will never forget that Yates game in Huntsville.  
 

And Devon McCain’s performance against Carter in the State Championship game was one for the ages and one of the all time great performances at state.

I’m admittedly very biased on several fronts here but Jabari Rice is everything I love about college basketball.

I’ve heard Will as well but he’s also being linked to a job in Texas. Have also heard Beard.

The group with Bush, Adams, McCain, and Barnes was almost once in a lifetime. The 2016-17 Tigers had 10 kids that played college ball in basketball or football. 

EXACTLY!

Some of y’all told me this group was going to be as good or better than the Adams, McCain, Bush group.  I found that hard to believe.  Results aside, that has never passed the eye test with me.  Thought it was unfair to this group to put that type of weight on their shoulders. Still do. Really good bunch who still has one more year to leave their mark and I hope they do.  But as I said when they were coming in as freshman.  Really good group of kids but let’s slow our roll.  They aren’t THAT. 
 

Conversely, we did have a group that does meet or surpass that group.  And they are COACHED by a Silsbee guy.  Go get that three peat Wolves!

Good thing Hitchcock got to play the Bobcats from Orangefield.  Otherwise they wouldn’t have been tested before state.  And yes, I know Lorena played them almost as close but Orangefield had them on the ropes for a good portion of that game.

36 three point attempts and 20 turnovers is a recipe for disaster. 

Bingo

BTW is a much better matchup against FF than we are.  FF beat BTW by 10 I’m the season opener for each.

But that was then.  I think that if the Eagles play as well against FF as they did today (and get the same refs they had today:  sorry can’t help myself) they can win. 

Shortly before BTW handed United an L.
