95% of whites can't see beyond their noes. That is why this country / this world is as jacked up as it is.

I could of made it to that game. OH well.

Last time I saw Sam Houston was 2 years ago when pg Kendrick Davis was still there. Whatever success they had then was mainly because of him. He's gone, at SMU now I think. The talent around him is gone also. Sam Houston is a public school like Silsbee, so they rebuild gradually. Any tall talent around they have to fight the private schools to get it. I knew before the game Silsbee would have problems with STH because the latter is an established and prosperous private school. They always have tall and decent talent. The jamboree game at 830 between SA Wagner & shadow creek out of Pearland, that is gonna be a good matchup. I am almost tempted to go out & see it, but I don't feel up to dealing with the parking and crowds.

Whe I saw Silsbee Wednesday there was one young guy who didn't suit up. He is the biggest guy on the team right now. I guess that is Jones.

74 69 Houston Sam Houston won. Brae Bush had 45 pts.

A season or so ago, when Silsbee had one of their best teams ever, I saw them beat STH and Westbury Christian. One of those Westbury guys, Charles Smith IV is a freshman at SMU. The other Slazinski is a Frosh at Louisville. The difference is a team like Silsbee had comes along every so often. Where as private schools are out recruiting & bringing in good talent and building good teams almost every year. The old paradigm where you town or areas best, played my town or areas best is gradually fading away. It could easily be said that it is not happening gradually, but at a rapid rate.

I saw United vs Dickinson. That game had a playoff feel to it. United is a versatile team. They ran with Dickinson. They can trap & press, run, all that. At crunch time they slowed it down played zone. With those long arms stretched out they were not easy to score on. They put the ball in the QB pg Kasen. Dude is built like a running back. Dickinson came at him physical but he just shook it off. Back in the day legend coach Gamble won some state championship games with the score in the 40s. PA Lincoln under him didn't just run all the time. Coach Green does the same thing when he needs to. His teams can run and press (Sigler) or they can slow it down and win a close game. They can be beat. Any top team in Texas 6A can lose if you play them just right. Some team knocking off United in the playoffs will not be easy.

Him & # 23 for St Thoms had some words. 23 for STH was a big dude with an attitude to match. Silsbee was setting up for charges & he was bulling through them. More often than not the refs were calling blocking instead of charging. They were rolling with the team in control. Nothing came of any of that though.

Welp. Yates is not as good as they were in 2009-2010, obviously. We can put that notion to rest. I should have stayed for that game. Yates' guards looked very good against Morton Ranch. I forgot that MR's high ranking really doesn't mean that much. If a team is going to eat humble pie now is the time to do it. Yates looked good to me, when I saw them, as a region III class 4A team. Beyond that who knows? Faith Family comes to mind. If none of those powerhouse teams in Dallas are 4A then whatever happens is just a learning lesson.

How to say this nicely. If you are short & not very big and you can't get the rebounds that is one thing. You can't coach height. But, if your premier pg dishes you a perfect pass and you are all by yourself and you miss multiple times that is something else. It is good that you came out for the team and helped fill out a roster, but maybe basketball is really not your thing.

Sticking around cause who knows when another guard / player like Bush comes around in Silsbee again.
