I think this has a little bit to do with it, but they are improved.

This convo came up on Facebook and it had me thinking y’all’s opinion. Let’s say Beaumont could put together an AAU team of the best 10 players in all of the golden triangle. How would they match up against the nations best teams? I know it would never happen due to exposure that kids can get playing for bigger organizations in Houston and politics and many other issues, but what if?

Silsbee may be better overall, but don’t forget last year. Imo the difference between yates and Silsbee was greater last year than it is this year and Silsbee won that game. Silsbee should win by 8-10 points. Tall lanky kid, I believe he’s #1 should be the difference. If he plays well Silsbee should control the game from start to finish.

Why not move it to college station? Plenty to do and a great basketball arena. Not saying it’s better than San Antonio because I enjoy it in San Antonio but I was kinda curious when it moved from Austin why not College Station?

Silsbee didn’t win district last year.

HJ gave up WAY to many offensive rebounds to Silsbee. They cut that out and shoot better from 3 it’s a single digit game.

#23 is definitely HF best overall player. #4 is there best athlete and defender. One difference IMO is HJ has 4 and even Davis can lock down and play defense when he wants to but HF only has 3. HJ can switch everything and keep ppl fresh by rotating who’s having to lock down the other teams scorer. HJ can cause a mis match with there offense and take advantage of it better than HF can. Also HJ closes out on shooters as good as any team I’ve seen. HF seemed to be off from the outside but I think HJ had a lot to do with it. The 3’s HF made were all well contested they were just good shots. My take away from this game is both teams are good and have potential to get better. I think if they play 10 times HJ wins 8 of them but with the talent level of both teams it should be 5-5. You can say it’s coaching you can say it’s basketball IQ of the players idk what but HJ is definitely a better ball club at this point in the year. They better both continue to improve if they want to knock off silsbee and take the region. I will say this, all 3 Silsbee, HJ, and Fannett are all better than the Huffman team that won the region last year…

Give me HJ, they have the best overall player on the court, more consistent 3 point shooting plus they are playing at home. HJ by 10. Saying that, I’m not predicting a blow out, I think it will be 4-6 point game the whole time until the end.

I think he wasn’t necessarily saying this years team will be great, but stating that possible next year or year after they will be “great”

Is there a schedule for tomorrow yet?

I was wondering this same thing

I wasn’t able to make it, but had a buddy tell me HJ looks very solid, probably even better than last year, as long as their lack of size doesn’t kill them in big games.

I think that 01 Ozen team was better than this years BU team but, remember that Ozen team was Nationally ranked so that’s nothing to be ashamed of. Now next years United team might have an argument of best ever out of Beaumont, only time will tell. Better question, how does this BU team stack up against the P.A Memorial team that won state a few years ago? I think BU would beat them. It by how much?

Silsbee by 8. HF has potential but not enough outside shooting IMO to beat Silsbee. HF only chance at an upset if they win the rebound battle significantly and have plenty of offensive rebounds and put backs which has been Silsbee’s Achilles heel the past few seasons.

When is HF expecting to get all of their starters back? I hope soon, regardless of how high they should have finished in district when healthy, they were definitely a playoff team and that community had high expectations. If they don’t come back soon they might be to far back to climb back into playoff contention.
