Yep, Lumberton will be picked to be the best of the rest (I.e., not Silsbee) again next season. WOS and Coach Wilson may have something to say about that though. Free for all for fourth again.

According to Coach Mitchell, you are correct sir.

From Cameroon. He plays at South Plains, currently the #1 ranked juco team in the country. Had about 10 D1 offers but NCAA didn’t clear him until August (due to international issues) so he decided to play a free year of juco (since this season doesn’t count against eligibility anyway). But I’m not disputing your claim would be correct the vast majority of the time (and is technically correct in this case since he isn’t playing D1 - yet 😉).

Correct. One from a few years ago comes to my mind 😉 (and in a lower classification). He’s going to be right way more than he’s wrong though, especially when dealing with a wing with size who can handle and shoot it, or a PG.

Plenty of us thought they would be top 2. Great coach and the best player in the district? Not rocket science. Silsbee-Lumberton-BC were the class of the district coming in and it was going to be a free for all for that last spot.

A 6-6 wing who handles the ball and is a D1 talent is enough to finish near the top of any 4A district. In this district, it was a no brainer. It was always going to be them who presented the biggest challenge to Silsbee.

You know you are a nosebleed elite program when a second place district finish due to 2 Covid forfeits (essentially) is considered a down year...

Umm whoa. Please give us your impressions on NW after the game AAW.

I have no doubt he does. But people apparently like his music (I didn’t even know who he was before this). And I predict he will recover. In the end, if he can sell records (or I guess if his music is downloaded in this day and age), he will land on his feet. He’s not okay now, but he will be.

Mr Wallen will be okay. There are probably more fans of that genre of music who are less offended with the use of that word (even with the hard R) than there are of criticizing a President for entering a war. Even when that war, by most accounts, ended up being a horrible decision.

I have no idea the voting protocol on the preseason predictions for the TABC. If it’s just the coaches in that district, that’s pretty bad.

I had them 2nd. BC third, OF 4th. WOS has surprised me the most. Although I should have seen it coming. Every one I know over there is high on the coach.

You have it straight and your mind is rightfully blown. Honestly there would be few, if any, 4A districts in the state where a player the caliber of McClure and a coach the caliber of Mitchell wouldn’t finish in the top 4. Maybe one in the metroplex

Livingston won 81-76 in double OT

Or you could just hold your plate near Who That. He seems pretty salty 🤣 (And you know I’m messing with you @Who That)

I’m gonna need some pepper and Louisiana hot sauce with mine...

You are AxeEm, Coach S, or is it time to change the handle again? I wish I had foreseen the Covid outbreak at Silsbee too. That’s quite a skill. But even without it, it’s still probably a push. Lumberton earned this one tonight.

You might be a top 10 updater on this site BB. Keep it up.

Congrats to the Raiders! What a job Coach Mitchell has done with that program since taking over. Love to see good things happen to good people - and Josh is as good a guy as they come. And regardless of covid, injuries, etc, those boys worked their tails off and accomplished a major goal. Hats off to Lumberton.

Southeast Texas officiating at its finest. When you blow an unblowable call....

What a run for Coldspring basketball. Duke graduates this year and the all time points leader, Bishop, graduated last year. Historic run for the Trojans.

Very crazy. It seemed pretty obvious that if anyone was going to challenge silsbee, it would be Lumberton.

Count me in with the “old heads” (as the kids now say). I still like someone to scan and bag my groceries. I even prefer to throw a high school kid a few bucks for loading them in my vehicle. We are steadily losing good old human interaction for the sake of “convenience.” I can’t help but wonder if that isn’t contributing to our society’s decline...
