Kountzer

...Still on guards & specifically PGs: Charles Smith IV for Westbury Christian, man he is not all that tall but he has tremendous springs in his legs. That dunk where he drove down the middle against Silsbee and slammed was one of the best of the season. Silsbee never played Sam Houston Math..but Kendric Davis is very good also. Dallas Skyline had a really good combo guard as well. Can't say enough about how Brae Bush stepped in as a freshman and played like a seasoned upper classman. He is going to make all state first team, for sure. Devon played pg at his usual high level as well. Those two playing together again next season should be something to watch.

I didn't see Grimes, but I've heard about him. Priddy for Argyle was good, and so was Savhir, the pg for Houston Christian.

Coach Sigler probably has a district coach of the year award already. Now he has the elusive 'Coach who has won state', or whatever you call it. I would not be surprised if he is thinking about retiring. That's just me thinking out loud. I have no evidence to back that up.

People keep tweeting that this is Silsbee's first state championship. They also won state in track in 1984, led by Chris Barnes. That Barne's bloodline has been a blessing to SHS.

I didn't see grimes play, but he is coming back. Maybe I will get to see him next season. Rossow is gone though, a graduating sr. I love his game. He's a bit small though.

I been telling folks they run hoops in Silsbee. I told them about scoring 100 + points, and 30pt victories, 80 pt victories, and wins over this team and that. Then they ask me, well, has Silsbee won state? I told them no. Why? IDK. Silsbee has a state title now. Validation. It means basketball validation. No need to transfer here or there to get recognition. It is all right there in Silsbee.

Watching a replay of the Brazosport game. With due respect to Devon McCain Bray Bush is a serious pg. If everything holds up Bush is going to play a lot at that position.

That was a great Silsbee team. They probably would have won state that year except they ran into an even greater PA Lincoln team with Stephen Jackson.

Yep, we went to IHOP. It's funny. No one over hear in H Town knows what I am so happy about. When I tell them they give me that distant "oh yeah" response. I am happy for coach Sigler. He was crying and emotional in interviews just after the game. He has been criticized, maligned and second guessed a lot over the years. I am sure it will continue to a certain extent, but guess what? No one can erase that state championship from his resume.

A nice growth spurt or a tall transfer in would be nice. The four returnees of Kalon Barnes, D McCain, Bray Bush, and Jordyn Adams is a nice nucleus to build around in Smoke Town. Worry about that in October. Just won state yesterday.

Having the most state championships in Hardin county or SE Texas is not the end all, be all many make it out to be, not to me anyway. I just wanted to see silsbee get one. That'll hold me for awhile. And if they win another one that's cool too.

I figured it was something like that.

For all the reasons stated it was crucial to win it all this year. They say the 1st championship is the hardest. I am personally not concerned with # 2 state title, not now anyway. Why u used the word disobedient?

I don't even know who made all tournament 4A. having said that, my thoughts on all state: I think B Bush, and Jordyn Adams will make all state 1st team, along with Rossow. Harris will prolly get state as well, along with Quick from Brazosport. Priddy from Argyle will be on that list somewhere. Who else? Maybe that dude from Lincoln with the hard name. He still has some name recognition from last year and this year. Kalon Barnes and Willie Jones. When you win state you get the lions share of those picks. Cooper from Brazosport will be on there, maybe even 1st team. My .02. I am not that up on choosing basketball talent. Feel free to correct me where I am wrong. ..Oh yeah Mitch Seriale from Yates, 1st team. That player for Yates who shoots the 3 ball well, he maybe on there too.

Yes, thanks to AAW & all the staff at SETXSports. Myself & a lot of other fans would not be as informed and connected were it not for this forum.

I first became aware of Silsbee basketball state championships, or the lack there of, (until now) in 1969 when Kountze won state. That's 48 years of frustration. Thank you coach Sigler for leading the team to the championship. Thanks to the players on the team as well, along with all the other fans like me. Starting to sound like the oscars, lol. I am glad to see this, you just don't know.

...get shot.

State champs! I saw it! Very good win Silsbee! Coach Sigler looked like he was crying in his post interview. I understand. Worry about the future in the future. Enjoying this chmapionship right now.

It's there!

It's right there.

run Silsbee.

That last 3 attempt by Silsbee was not good.

I could not get the online NFHS to work until the 2nd qtr. It looks good now though.

He's good. Both of their guards are very good.

Good win Silsbee. I don't want to talk until the next game is over.
