Silsbee. Next two games should be very good. I look for United to bounce back strong and could be a blowout. But of course it’s never boring watching that crew. But Silsbee should have great games here on out. Was tempted to make that drive to Lufkin to watch in person.

oh so when you agreed with Kountze having the MVP and the offensive MVP, you were just teasing? Merely pointing out that you can’t use the “oh my, poor Kountze was only picked for 4th because they didn’t have as much talent” argument AND say they arguably had the 2 best players in the district. Capeche?

Buna had a better overall season and based on the all district superlatives, Joubert had better players. But no reason to bring logic and reason into arguments on this board 😉.

Don’t use preseason predictions. If coaches are horrible at anything, it is predicting those. I mean sometimes ridiculously wrong. I heard that too many times last year with Lumberton picked 4th or whatever with a D1 player. Only an imbecile would have picked them that low. Whitmire did the best coaching job this year in that district, period and end of story. To argue otherwise? Well, would make you fit right in with those preseason district predictions.

Who did Buna piss off? Lol

Ken is a bucket. May be the best player in 4A.

Perfectly stated. Very good with potential for greatness. I would say the same for BTW, btw. (See what I did there?)

“My guys love to compete. I would play anybody with Silsbee guys.” - Joe Sigler Amen Coach. Amen.

Kind of reminds me of Silsbee last season. Yep overdue for a game where they shoot the lights out. Hopefully have a few of those in the tank.

Ghost is an 8th grader at Orangefield now. But Ben Elliott can go on a heater too.

Heck they haven’t beaten LCM yet. Let’s hope the Bears catch fire and pull the upset of the playoffs so far.

They will need to press to just keep the ball in front of them, to just slow the ball down. Against Yates’ press, they looked like they were having a slam dunk contest on the backend of that thing. At the same time, half court set seems to favor BTW as well. Silsbee wins by attrition if they pull it off. Booker T’s studs are as skilled as Silsbee’s, they are just half a foot taller.

First half of district at home vs second half of district at Yates, correct. BTW is decidedly better than Yates. Silsbee can beat them, but I believe it will take a better performance than tonight.

Silsbee has been the class of 4A basketball in Texas for over a decade. Yates is probably next. Argyle has been really good as well. Dallas has had some really good teams obviously, but none have been as consistently dominant. Silsbee is the cream of the crop imo.

Indeed. When they come out manic, look out!

8 at Yates. By 36 at home.

This. Could play great. Could also play like hammered dog poop.

Because Booker T has made them look pedestrian.

I figured as much.

Gotta agree with Matt Faye. When these two teams meet, you need to find a bigger venue than Dayton.

My dad really liked him and loved to tell a story that was I’m sure a “stock” one for Jan. He would tell people about a game where he was so bad he couldn’t make anything. He said he was so mad after his 4th missed FG, he went to kick the bench and was lucky he didn’t break his foot. Because, as he would tell it, he was so bad that day he missed that too. 😂

Most did. My dad went to HS in Lubbock with another of the tough old guys, EJ Holub. He got my dad a job with a finance company out of KC (EJ was an all pro center and lb for the chiefs - he may have been the last two way all pro). Anyway, two other Chiefs who worked for Interstate (the company) during the off-season were Len Dawson and Jan Stenerud. When your star QB is “humping it” in the off-season, you know most all of them were.

😂🤣. Fair enough!

Butkus, Ray Nitschke, Lee Roy Jordan, Sam Huff. Jack Lambert came a little later but was cut from the same cloth. Those guys were all a different breed. Tough as nails. Butkus was the cream of that crop though.

Welp, we can no longer be friends...
