9-4 on the year, made it to 3rd round after losing 26 seniors which was one of the most successful classes to ever come through Silsbee. I say that's a pretty good season. Most folks knew Silsbee would take a drop this year. You can't lose that kind of senior class and not have a drop off. Kudos to Coach Smith and his staff for doing another great job with these kids. Tigers were pretty young this year but grew up quickly. Silsbee will be losing some quality senior leadership in QB Moshier, RB/LB Farr, RB/DB Gaines and WR/DB Miller. Those guys will definitely be missed. Silsbee should return 4 of the 5 Oline, 2 WR (except one of them, Johnson, will move to QB). Tigers will return the entire DL, 3 of the LB's and 3 DB's. Good quality returners back for next season. Congrats on the year. Job well done.

Hats off to 11 5A, I was one that was on 12 5A bandwagon. Over estimated AMC and CS. Great job, atleast one from 11 5A will be in a semi final game.

Yeah, not a great opinion.  SOC is the favorite here, but Lovejoy, Argyle, and Randle are all more than capable of beating whoever comes out of next week’s matchup.  And the other teams left are no slouches.  

I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure.
