Apparently Pistol Pete is cleared to play again š -

No doubt. Really impressive first half of district, especially all things considered. -
Proof positive that one off recruiting year can really even things out š

Silsbee 92 Orangefield 47/FINAL
TxHoops replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Boys Basketball
Probably about right. Heās the best shooter, ball handler and passer on the team. But 10-20 points sounds about right. But when you are thin offensively to begin with, pretty huge loss. Wouldnāt make much difference tonight but may in the battle for the next 3 spots. -
Crosby 57 Beaumont United 76/FINAL

Haggerty is a nice player. Heās not close to Arceneaux or Yates imo. -
Silsbee 92 Orangefield 47/FINAL
TxHoops replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Boys Basketball
Yes and their best player has been out the last month after being diagnosed with a rare disease. No time table when he will be out. If you watched either of the Silsbee games with OF last year, you know who Iām talking about. -
West Orange Stark job open/HICKMAN APPROVED

I predict itās going to be a sad and shocking reality for Mustang nation when they start to look pretty pedestrian. Hall of Fame coaches donāt grow on trees. Again, I wish him the best but my prediction for Hickman? Heartburn and a lot of it. -
Lamar has literally had 3 walk ons playing significant minutes. One of them, Senigaur, would probably have anyway but when you have had games with only 5 scholarship players available, often with only one or two starters, itās just a tough road to hoe.

Robertson. Little brother of Andre Robertson. Both are somewhat legendary athletes from Orange. Andre was the first African American baseball player for UT and played for the Yankees in the show until a near fatal car crash ended his career. Roderick was an exceptional quarterback in HS, and spent about a decade in the minors, mostly with the Phillies organization. -
I think you may be right.

One of my favorite kids Iāve ever coachedā¦

Yes and Jabari had 0. Last season, Jabari was the consensus preseason player of the year before he had an injury that hampered his season. This year they have him at the point even though the 2 is his natural position. Think he had 21 & 8 against the jacks.

I think he means post-leather helmetsā¦

Thatās main reason for their toughness. The SETX dna (Beaumont and PA as well) includes a lot of toughness. Silsbee community, like WOS, would support coaches instilling such toughness. Not all communities wouldā¦like say, Palestine. -
Yep lol. Like clockwork, they score 26 & 21 today against the jacks. No idea what happened against Sam.

I wonder how many realize how true this is (from a talent perspective)? In recent years, Silsbee is usually more talented than WOS (and especially depthwise). If Cornel had been Silsbeeās head coach during the time he was at WOS, hard to believe they wouldnāt have a ring or two. Especially because Silsbee, like WOS, would absolutely give him the freedom to coach. -
LCM has always paid more than the market demanded. In all other respects, theyāve always been pretty mediocre (with an outlier season here and there). Remarkable what heās come in and done, especially in year one. Having said all that, heās home and as LCMalum points out, a lot less craziness with that job. For the good Lordās sake, look at what they endured for so long with Crouch. I donāt think the Steelers even give out that kind of job securityā¦

Gotcha - basically after Memorial opened. Based on accomplishments (in HS), that group is the second best since Memorial opened (except for Clover who started and played heavy minutes on the best Memorial team). Chatman, Valsin, Keller, Jones, Wesley, etc was clearly the best group. -

Port Arthur Memorial 26 Beaumont United 71/FINAL
TxHoops replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Boys Basketball
As you know, the best basketball was long before any of those kids were there. In fact that bunch would have gotten run out of the gym by some of the teams that preceded them. Only Clover was a big contributor on the last PA state championship team (although Loftin got some minutes in a lot of their games). But in its glory years, there was even an extra school in the cityā¦ -

Definitely not from you. But Iāve heard that narrative many times before. -
Yes, brutal schedule combined with a team that literally hasnāt been healthy all seasonā¦I feel for the kids and coaches. And I really hope so too. There are a few of the local kids that some poaching overtures will be made to. I can tell you one will be back.

And I donāt wanna hear about kids moving to Nederland because while they have had a good season and playing much better than Memorial, it isnāt because they are supremely talented this year. -

Yeah they may just be walking the halls. But I canāt imagine there were 4 years of kids born that didnāt have 10-12 boys who had the talent and toughness to hoop. We are talking Port Arthur, Texas. There arenāt many towns in the whole durn state with better basketball DNA.
