The new reality. A win is a win. What kind of size did BC have? Did they start 5 guards like Silsbee does?

If Silsbee is No. 8 statewide than HJ should be in the top 25.

I would put HJ at 7.

PG was a powerful team. Deserved No 1 ranking. Don’t feel the same way as last year. Silsbee would have beaten last year’s PG. That’s why I was disappointed by the semi loss last year. Not the same this year.

He certainly deserves a nod. I'm sure Jentsch would be fine with that. You're right, it would have been the right thing to do.

And he's offensive and defensive MVP. Deja vu all over again. 5'11 180. Average looking kid. Obviously more than meets the eye.

Sunshine is just too much. Same as last year. All state safety AND 3A offensive player of the year.

Reminds me of one of the local teams.

Hulu is down all over the country. I wanted to watch the Zebras. It was one game I was really interested in.

Everyone is playing time. Fun game to watch.

It would be shame. I enjoyed watching him play and improve. And goodness knows they need him. But who could blame him if he’s emotionally worn out.

Never thought I could say that a fumble in the 4th Q would cost the Tigers the game. And I’m so proud of them to be able to say that.

If they hadn’t pulled that stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid kickoff stuff they would be back in the game.

Tigers pull the old Dolphin lateral play.

It’s like they’re in the huddle and know the play. Not only is their passing game clicking but their running is pretty good.

Best team we’ve faced. These guys could handle WOS.

It's Friday the 13th. Wimbo folks should be careful not to cross a striped cat's path.

Will be there with grandchildren who are bringing their Harry Potter wands just in case.

I'm sure they were paying attention and based on the numbers they can throw the ball very well. You've got it pegged. It's a classic case of a high flying passing game against a big play running game. Assuming both teams do well at what they do well it could come down the the counterintuitive. How well Silsbee throws and how well Wimbo runs could be the decisive thing.

Really? After the drubbing Wimbo handed to Navarro? It really was an impressive beat down. I guess they understand the significance of that 4th quarter last Friday. They know the drill with WOS, get a 10 point lead that feels like 30 and hold your opponent at bay for the rest of the game. But Silsbee wasn't having it and those 18 unanswered points in the 4th quarter were astounding. I've never seen anything quite like it.

They have been blocking. They start kind of slow, Giddings and WOS were clogging it up at the beginning, but as the game wears on the Tigers just get stronger and bigger holes start materializing. Especially in the 4th quarter where they have been dominant. We've outscored our last two opponents 49 to 14 in the second half and 32 - 0 in the 4th quarter.

Wimbo deserves to be the favorite because they trounced a team with better rushing stats than Silsbee. Navarro was averaging 411 ypg rusing. They had two more or less 1000 yard rushers and a 2000 yard rusher in a fairly strong district. Wimbo handled them with apparent ease last week. Why shouldn't they be able to do pretty much the same thing against Silsbee? And we don't even know what will happen with Wimbo's passing. Silsbee hasn't faced an air attack like Wimbo's all year, or last year either for that matter. You've got to figure they will probably get around 400 yards of total offense. So on paper Wimbo has to get the nod. A 3pt spread is more than fair. But . The game before Navarro against Rockport game is very interesting. Rockport seems to be all run. Team stats show 32 passing yards per game and rushing ypg similar to Silsbee. And they played Wimbo even all the way down the line. Looks like an extra point in the 4th quarter was the difference.

I can't believe that Wimberly would intentionally play an ineligible player. That said there needs to be accurate accounting, especially for exchange students.

What Fox board? I think I could have some good clean fun with them.

Well it's easy come easy go in the charter school world. No sweat. They'll recruit some more talent. Is it that easy to come and go to the Jack Yates Communications, Maritime and Basketball Magnet High School?
