Kountzer

I saw highlights of the class of 2024 when they won the middle school championship in Houston . They had a special chemistry. It has been said over and over by me and others that they would have added at least two more pieces to the championship trophy case were it not for FFA. Kountze is back to winning. Sooner of later Silsbee will get back to winning big also.

I thought about that possibility. Shepherd is good these days. I haven’t been paying attention.

Things have gone down in kashmere gardens, especially in basketball. I grew up in Silsbee and I love my hometown. Whenever I wasn’t in Silsbee I was probably in the kashmere gardens section of houston. I heard about 5th ward, South Park, 3rd ward, etc. i never went to school in beaumont, so i don’t really know beaumont. I just really know Silsbee and kashmere gardens. So when I hear kashmere lost to Shepherd that tells me things are really down in kashmere gardens houston texas.

I don’t think Silsbee wants anything to do with them right now.

Westbury Christian puts out good teams. Losing to Westbury is cause for concern.

When do they play St Thomas Episcopal?

Does Silsbee have good basketball players that are still playing football? Also, Wheatley handled PA Memorial in a game this season.

The federal dept of education, public schools, the UIL, they are all close to extinction. Schools lie FFA will be the norm.

Does this change start this season or the next?

I mentioned here before that I have talked to the BT Washington coach before. He would visit the driver license office where I worked. When I told him I was from Silsbee he was exuberant in his praise for coach Sigler and the Silsbee basketball program. This started around 2017 or so when Silsbee was winning Bigly. When I saw his name and picture all over the news I was as shocked as any one. He was and is a nice person, to me anyway. His coaching days are over. This will also have a negative effect on the Houston BT Washington basketball program.

I am a big time Silsbee basketball fan. Still, I am surprised they are ranked #2 in 4A. I figured they would be in the top 20. If they landed # 10 or #9 i would have been surprised, but #2? I was not ready for that. If the team can prove me wrong go ahead.

Nov 29th is a ways away. If Silsbee is scheduled to play in the morning or early afternoon I may attend. that may be my only chance to see them this season. I don't see myself driving to the Beaumont area unless Silsbee is playing compelling basketball.

Who was the genius that came up with the idea of creating an uneven playing field by allowing one team to recruit over a broad area of talent while restricting all the other teams to stringent recruiting rules. Then call it fair sportsman ‘ship?

20 years & 270 lbs ago (sorry Mike) there was Michael Dabney. It is ashame they didn’t have digital cameras then. If they did this whole who was the best argument would be over fast. Just my opinion.

The kid from Brazosport: Chris Rossow.

Miller is playing inspired basketball.

There is no political solution. Jesus is coming back. He is the only solution. The dead in Christ will rise first and go to heaven. The wicked dead will stay in the grave for another 1000 years. After that among other things the wicked the devil and this whole earth will be burned up.

Brae Bush would be feeling it and come down and launch a 47 footer just inside mid court that would take all the breath out of the opposing team, the fans, the refs & anybody else.

No mention that Faith Family is moved ups to 5A?

Talk gibberish but can't handle the same..

I was in the 20 aka 77020 aka 5th ward also in the 26 aka 77026 aka Kashmere gardens since before you were born. when I wasn’t in Silsbee or Beaumont I was usually in the 26, with occasional trips to the 20. Sending summers at the Hester House..waste a time, you don’t know nothing about that.

I was @ work once, processing driver licenses etc. This tall skinny kid, maybe 6'2" or so was my next customer. He was changing his address from Bridge City to somewhere in Houston. I asked him if he played basketball for Bridge City. He said no. I was able to get out of him that he was going to school at UH or Rice majoring in architecture. I stopped asking questions after that. Playing B ball is not the cake. If a student works it just right it is at best just the icing on the cake.

I saw ML school. I thought it was out somewhere. Nope. it is dead in the middle of fifth ward.

Bottley has been shooting good lately.

Sounds about right.
