Diboll-68 North Forest-48 Silsbee-53 Tarkington-45 In OT.

Kountze and OF have to both win or lose to play each other. One game at a time HillGuy

First of all, you get the .5 because of students that may have enrolled half way through the school year. Secondly, I'll never disagree that numbers makes a difference because they do. Lastly, if you are saying that Silsbee's basketball team is good solely because of the numbers, you are sadly mistaken. When we were 4A, we were not the biggest, yet we won district titles and advanced in the playoffs regularly. Silsbee has had a very good program, but I will admit it has been more advanced since we dropped to 3A. But I believe it's because the caliber of play is lower than what we played in 4A. No, I'm not saying that at all, BUT there is a big difference in the number of students between Silsbee and OF is what I am saying...I am just trying to get the board going on a Sunday..seems dead and it helps the time go by faster at work

Guess this kind of answered my question... Central 1537 Nederland 1512 Vidor 1430 Port Neches-Groves 1413 Ozen 1264 Livingston 1207 Little Cypress-Mauriceville 1200 Lumberton 1064.5

Silsbee 843.5 Bridge City 707 West Orange-Stark 691 Hardin-Jefferson 662 Hamshire-Fannett 568 Orangefield 521 Two things..Number 1 How do you have a .5 person? Number 2 Silsbee has 322 more students than he lowest enrollment (OF) and 136 more then the second higest (BC)... Could it be said the more students the better the team? Silsbee is 221 less than Lumberton (4A) thats a smaller margin than Silsbee has with OF & HF.. This is what I do at work.. Just stating facts, not trying to say anything about ANY school so don't all smite me at once..

I will keep everyone posted on how all the local teams do. Good luck to all..

Even when you missed my sisters name..we still think you do an AWESOME JOB ;D

You're right when I was in Jr. High we never won a game, 7th or 8th grade. My senior year we went to the playoffs first time in like 47 years. ;D

Anytime you can make the playoffs you have had a good year.Good luck I agree "Catman" in this day and age but in the old days only the district champion made the playoffs. I do think two teams should make it. When you get to 3 and 4 then it is watered down. I think it should be 3..Bleed, remember a few year ago on the girls side I think it was 2007... WOS was the 3rd place team and they ended up beating Silsbee (the first place team) to go to Regionals...

I'll try a Top 5 ;D 1. Kountze 2. Central 3. Orangefield 4. Barbers Hill 5. HJ

Gabe does a GREAT job on the Orange Leader. Walkoff you must go to a school for really gifted kids if you can read the Orange Leader in 2 mins!!! :

Speaking of Silsbee Girls...MaxPreps has them at like 0-5, but I don't think that is right. Help me out.

I am curious to know how all the teams are doing so far this year. Post your teame and record... I know these for sure because of TABC. 4A Barbers Hill 13-5 Beaumont Central 11-3 3A Orangefield 10-3 HJ 11-6 *WOS 7-6 *HF 1-6 Silsbee *BC 1-6 *Jasper 8-8 2A Kountze 14-3 Woodville 13-3 1A Evadale 12-3 Private Legacy 4-8 * All records were taken from MaxPreps.com I think some of the coaches need to get on top of MaxPreps

Cat22- We are going to need you to get on the ball with these rankings Sir. ;D

I saw this on the East Texas sports website... The bold teams are all the teams JUST in Region 3...Pretty strong region! 1 Diboll 14-1 2 West Oso 10-2 3 Bullard 12-3 4 Abilene Wylie 15-3 5 Crockett 18-0 6 Mt. Vernon 17-4 7 Brownsboro 11-2 8 Robinson 13-2 9 Orangefield 10-3 10 China Spring 10-4 11 Bridgeport 15-1 12 Dallas Roosevelt 11-6 13 Canton 13-5 14 Hidalgo 15-1 15 Hirschi 13-5 16 Navasota 15-4 17 Lytle 10-2 18 Levelland 11-6 19 Edna 13-1 20 Whitesboro 11-3 Also note that HJ is in this region and the TABC is apparently mad at them that's why they aren't in the Top 20...

Ozen or BH...

Go look at the thread about BC, I asked if they played any 4A teams too.. It's not JUST Orangefield that I make comments about thats just the only theads you read because its about your team... And trust me I have complained about the girls scheudle a lot! I acually just found something I printed earlier in the season about who the girls were going to play highlighted all the RIDICLOUS games we were going to play...The Orangefield Touny needs to be moved and not be played the same weekend as the YMBL that would help a lot... And acually yes I think pressing HJ would be a very good idea, they are young and may get nervous with a lot of pressure same thing with WOS. When I played we pressed every game no matter what, thats just how I think and thats how I was coached. It is seriously NOT that big of a deal what I think, but thank you both for making me feel like my opinion really matters ;D Merry Christmas to you as well.

Well that's a shocker, I think EVERY team that hosts a tournament does that.

I've been coached by Nos before, and i can assure you that he's not the type of guy who'd get on here for the purpose of reading the ignorant posts of ignorant posters and getting all riled up. i can see how he'd get frustrated, though. he's on here for the same reason that everyone else is... he loves sports! now if during that time he feels obligated to defend a team he coaches who is getting thrown under the bus by many people, i can't say i blame him. as for his time being better spent elsewhere, i'm sure that the same argument can be made for all 10,000 of our members. we're on here because we like the site, not because it's the most productive thing we do all day. Speak for yourself buddy nostradamus I don't care if your a coach or not, what you said was right...but I think MOST people aren't posting on here for to give advice, they are just 'venting' on what they think MAY or MAY NOT be wrong with whoevers team that night.. HJ IS GOING TO BE FINE PEOPLE! write that down ;D

Yeah, but they could have went to the Gulf Coast Classic instead...Who knows, but if someone finds out let us nosey people know ;D

Congrats! I for one have the upmost respect for a program like Kountze's! Good luck to the Lions!

I also left before the game started, I made plans and forgot all about them...still paid 3 dollars for nothing > but while I did sit and watch the JV (the last 2 quarters) play a PARENT of the varsity told me this was going to be the 3rd time WE played Deweyville...and before you get all paniced, I am also aware WE played them in tournaments. So as my original post stated... The JV game was 68-6 or 8... I think this is the 3rd time these two teams have played. So...I was right wasn't I..3rd time..ok thought so... You are VERY welcome, but before you want to call me out by my name on here, I suggest you do the same. I would say judging by your name on here bballgod, and by some of the posts you have made, I know EXCATLY who you are which makes you telling me how things ARE that much better! If you are..which I assume you are.. on this years team then you saw me WORKING the Orangefield Tournament for both the guys and girls side, you also saw me at one of the scrimmages for the guys KEEPING the clock when I just came to watch. Oh I wasn't paid either for any of that. So please believe I bleed Orange Mr. BBALLGOD. Of course I go to the girls game, MY SISTER PLAYS. Why would I miss it to see the guys play? : We still don't press, and I still have a 'problem' with it. I do remember playing East Chambers twice that year (05), first time it was there, second time it was at the BC tournament. We won both...That same 2A team was RANKED and went to the Regional Final only to lose to Kountze, who I believe won state. I am WELL aware of how schedules work, and I am also aware it takes two to tango, thank you for your wonderful insight on it. Do not question MY loyalty to Orangefield and ANY Orangefield program or team...You apparently only know me by my name which you decided to inform everyone of..I'll be waiting for a mesaage to confirm what I already assume on who you are. Last thing, since you love reading what I post so much, why don't you go through and look at all the good..wonderful..aspiring things I have said about this years team..
