[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1376001" timestamp="1361306466"] Does someone from Silsbee want to really talk about move ins???? [/quote] Sure we have to get a few too but our budget limits us to our immediate area. We haven't gone global thus no maroon on the map.

Makes sense very nice facility.

[/quote] All chair back, individual seating. Was told it holds 1400. [/quote] There were a few bench seats on each side not but two or three.

[quote name="Stevenash" post="1375814" timestamp="1361294170"] Good, solid comparison between HJ and Yates.  HJ has had one transfer in the last six years and Yates had 40 this past fall. [/quote] Yes it is true that since players found out that Silsbee was going to be in the same district as HJ recruitment numbers have dropped.  These players were well aware of how few and far between district and state titled would become.  And since that last good recruiting class graduated in 2007 that has become the case.  Many would be HJ recruits have since ended up at Yates.

I believe the legend says yellow and orange are Yates and Blue is HJ.

Very true!!

The subject of this thread is Silsbee and HJ's hard road,  and although they both get the team who is viewed as the big dog early,  WOS has to get through Cleveland and undefeated Navasota to get to the regional finals to meet Yates.

[quote name="Kountzer" post="1375681" timestamp="1361242344"] Changing the topic slightly, they had some 7'8" 16 y.o. african young man visit Houston during all star weekend.  He visited Yates along with some of the nba all stars.  Wouldn't it be something if he ended up wearing red and gold in the near future. Not that I am starting spurious rumors, more like what ifs.  Stuff does happen. [/quote] Would it really be a suprise?

[quote name="Kountzer" post="1375674" timestamp="1361241893"] The only team that will be remembered is the team that wins regional.  Better yet, the only team that will really be remembered is the team that wins State.  Everybody else will be written down and archived somewhere. The team that is still playing the longest will have bragging rights here for a few days, that's about it. [/quote] Exactly!

Yes and although all would love to be regional finalists,  I don't believe that was the ultimate goal for either Silsbee or HJ based on recent history.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1375632" timestamp="1361236961"] Not implying anyone won or lost on purpose. I've said from the beginning whatever team gets 2nd place would be in a better spot to advance further in playoffs. [/quote] They may get to play more games but if all 3 local teams lose to the same team does it really make any difference when it is?

[/quote] Exactly !!! [/quote]Y'all intentionally missing the point. WOS positioned themselves Away from Yates. [/quote] I can tell you I was at both district games WOS lost and they defintely didn't intentionally lose either one!!  They may get to avoid your babies longer  but they will either lose or have to play them or whoever beats them to get to Austin.

That was in my first line "play their best team game".

[quote name="Skip Bayless" post="1375591" timestamp="1361233205"] Lets be real fellas, neither one of these team will beat Yates. [/quote] Yes the odds are against us.  My Tigers will have to play their best team game and make the most of their scoring opportunities.  Speed and depth appear to be fairly equal.  The big problem for the Tigers is size.  We have to find a way to get our passes and shots over the top of them and prevent them from merely going over the top of us.  We also have to keep up on the boards.  If we can somehow do that and have a good shooting night we have a chance.

But they should never have to scout lowly 3a teams!

Kountzer,  Yates did scout these two when they played last week but Dove didn't see them at the Silsbee-Kennedale game.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1375282" timestamp="1361079131"] I ran into several of the Jack Yates players earlier today.  ;D [/quote] I bet they will be in Dayton tuesday cheering on HJ!!

That worked out well for HJ fans and I wouldn't have blamed them for not playing Kountze if that had been the case.  But I would have believed that Kountze would say refuste to host if that was the case.
