Silsbee 89 Diboll 83/Final

Some of you were doubting whether or not Devon McCain could handle varsity....now you see! 

Let's not forget Mr. Adams either.  15 pts in a varsity debut as a freshman against a quality opponent - not too shabby.  Great thing about both of those kids is they do so much more than score the ball.  You can bet McCain had a fair share of assists and Adams passes, rebounds and defends really well.

Harris seems to be ready for a big year. I thought he was the best pure basketball player on the team last year. I think the starting lineup once football is over will be Grubbs, Harris, Dontre Thomas, Mike McCain, and Devon McCain. The bench will be the best in 4A. Mackey, Barnes, Adams, Newton, and Maze.

Im no expert.... hold the comments. lol.

I just cant see Barnes not being on the floor for the start and finish of ANY game this year.  Young man grew big time last year and with the advent of a couple of drive, stop and shoot point guard additions this year, his EVERREADY rebounding/put back skills are a must. 

Agreed, for KB to play the majority minutes he will have to improve even more, but man I like his aggressive style.  It should pay big dividends with L' McCain running the point, Mike J on the wings creating havoc with his style and hopefully the "shooters" (Grubbs, Harris and Adams) keeping people out the paint.

Again, great spot as a coach but tough decisions with Thomas, Mackey and Barnes sharing playing time.

Cant wait for the show.

I agree Barnes was impressive last year.  I won't be surprised by any lineup.  I just don't really see Dontre on the bench.  The thing will be how Coach wants to play.  I suspect depending on how many he ends up with on varsity he will primarily go with 2 or 3 groups of 5 and rotate them regularly.  Sure some games may dictate otherwise.  If he does that it may not be necessarily the top 5 starting but having a balance or best fits in each group.  If he tends to do go with a starting 5 and bring in replacements along individual lines instead of as a group,  it would be hard not to have Mike J. Grubbs and Dontre as part of the starters.  But nothing would surprise me at all.

    • Ok. Here me out. I hate generalizing but bear with me.    this has always been my issue with the Double Wing T / Slot T / Wing T.    it’s not that it’s not a good offensive scheme it actually is very good.    That type of offense is absolutely brutal to not only the running back and the quarterback, but also the lineman. To complicate things even further most of your athletes on offense, skill players will be playing on defense where they will get the majority of the contact.    By the time the player gets to mid third-quarter or fourth, the skill players are completely exhausted from running up to middle and being tackled every 3 yards x 6 people on top of them and then have to turn around and run and chase the other offense down.    Cold spring running back was absolutely destroying the line of scrimmage, gaining 3/4 yards at a time and he did that for about 50/60 yards and his body just gave out he was probably exhausted because he probably played 70 to 80% of all the place. Playing 80% of the plays on both offense or defense is completely different at running back then at wide receiver like Travis Hunter.     all this to say is the running of the wing T double wing T slot T is OK for liberty Hill because they have 5/6 running backs that are just as good as the starter but even two years ago injury caused them to lose a very big game, by a lot of points against PNG     even though Orangefield‘s running back had 34 carries the majority of those carries were out on the flank and where he was only tackled by a few players, whereas Coldsprings  running backs were tackled by five or six of Orangefield players, and that wears a kids body down   None of what I’m saying is science all I’m saying is based off the last 14 years of seeing Orangefield run that kind of often it took a toll on running backs for the last 12 years the only one I can think that did not get hurt during his career was The kid that got 2,000 in a season. 
    • What a tough 5A district with 4 teams ranked in the top 20. Should be fun to see it play out. 
    • Y’all need to stop ragging on Weak Brook and instead send them all the positive energy that you can so that they can become Strong Brook and beat New Baytown on Nov 8. BTW, for those who don’t know, nothing irritates a Mont Belvieu/Barber’s Hill resident more than calling their town “New Baytown” and their High School “New Baytown High”.  I’ve already got an Old Man in my inbox on here mad because I slandered his precious team.  Just thought I’d mention it since we’re discussing school nicknames and stuff like that.  
    • Until he spent $8.5 trillion and ignited the rampant inflation that is finally somewhat getting under control lol Short term gain, long term pain (and let the other guy deal with it, classic) P.S. - USA produces more oil now than ever before
