Was he the super during the football/house party/cheerleader fiasco a few years back? Silsbee has a real opportunity to change the way they are perceived by folks outside of Silsbee. Coach Smith made major strides with the football team this year in curbing a lot of the BS that others think of when they think of Tiger football. I personally feel that Silsbee has been their own worst enemy when it comes to their lack of SCs when compared to the number of athletes they've had come through there over the years. I'd like to see this kid serve out his punishment, play his way back onto the team next year, and do nothing like this ever again. This could be the last time we hear about Silsbee being involved in a basketball, football, or track meet brawl. Or the super could cave to community pressure, reduce the punishment, and we'll all continue this conversation after the next time the Tigers make the evening news for doing something other towns wouldn't tolerate from their high school athletes.

.

Drop by any Silsbee player's Twitter and see what the rally is for. Its all about support for the kid that is rightfully suspended for the year. Or, go back to last week when BC fans were complaining about the same kid cheap-shotting our kids (verified by AAW), and the same Silsbee fans were on the boards defending this kid's thuggish behavior... Maybe if some of the fans, coaches, or parents had stepped up and addressed this young man's behavior, he'd still be available for the playoffs. #nodevonnotigers pep rally to support the kid at the high school today at 5:30.

We normally talk about the defendant's background during the punishment phase of a trial, after the defendant has been convicted of doing something EXACTLY LIKE WHAT #3 DID TUESDAY NIGHT. But keep defending him and his actions.

Silsbee fan would just be right back in saying that the video doesn't show what else happened and that the BC kid deserved it.

That's weird because all of the posts I see say it's in support of McCain. Or at least that's what the kids on Silsbee's team are tweeting.

Right. Like our players vowing to sit out because the one kid was being punished? You gotta fight!!!!! For your right!!!!!!! To THUUUUGGGGG OUT!!!!!! #nodevonnotigers

Do you remember the big rally BC had to support the team after the Twitter incident this fall? No. Because there wasn't one. Some things are just indefensible. #nodevonnotigers? This is a chance for Coach Smith and Silsbee ISD to change the widely-held PERCEPTION that Silsbee runs out of control programs where bad behaviors and actual crimes are overlooked like they have been in the past.

Silbee's gonna Silsbee.

Can somebody unlock the BC vs Silsbee thread? I'd like to offer a rebuttal to the "BC has no class" opinions posted there. I'd like to point out that most of the people complaining about his behavior grew up in an era where you and your boys jumping somebody wasn't very highly thought of. Running up and smashing somebody from behind was something to be ashamed of, not bragged about on social media. Don't hit girls was rule #1. Sadly, that's not what kids today are being taught. Tough punishment for McCain. I hope he learns from this and comes back next year with a different perspective. There are actions in life that "I'm sorry" won't fix. Some people learn that the hard way.

If you knew that guy you wouldn't say that. Absolutely the biggest tiger fan there is. And white, btw.

You know the old saying. If everybody you meet is a jerk, it could be that YOU are the jerk. If your team gets into confrontations week in and week out, maybe it's not because every single team you face is starting problems. And as far as my friend Badsanta goes, who "threw the first punch" is irrelevant in these games. Any kid that throws a punch or leaves the bench will be punished. That's just the rules.

Wha? No Mackey?

I thought he was headed to Lamar?

Bridge City was short a game last year and ended up with two byes. Very possibly short again for this upcoming year.

Before I opened this thread I knew it would be a "but __________ from Silsbee should be on the list/win" kind of party.

Good for him!

I hope they target hiring a POC. Mostly because I'd enjoy watching people LOSE THEIR MINDS!

Poor Tony Brown... Giving it up on the biggest of the big stages. I'll bet Saban wishes he'd have sent him home before the championship game again this year.

Yeah, but nobody is on your side when you break "Employees must wash hands before they return to work" or "Employees must have a hair net on at all times." The rest of us have jobs where the rules are a little more like guidelines than actual rules.

District champs, several rounds guaranteed. Longest of long shots for a 4th Finals appearance. Too many holes to refill. I wouldn't bet against them, though.

Uh huh. I feel your pain.

Those boys from Washington will LOVE playing in historic Larry Ward Stadium. I'll bet they've already heard of it.

Not until the second weeks. Sorry, Newton. I couldn't help myself.

Better yet, give us Newton's entire enrollment and we would still be in 4A D1.... smaller than district rival LCM. We might even win district, LOL.
