Lil C going to Silsbee isn't an all go.  There was a pending coaching situation thst wouldve swayed his decision.  But that situation never happened so he'll remain at Ozen....

Soulja I talked to Lil C myself trust me he's going to Silsbee it's a done deal

Not what I am hearing from his uncle. Was assured he will be enrolling at Silsbee before school year ends.

I talked to his Dad Big C about a week ago on the situation...

I was told today this will happen, even saw his Dad at the school this evening checking things out.

You misunderstood... It's not required, he just takes note of who shows up and who doesn't.

Actually, Silsbee just got approved for a program that will allow a student to graduate with 60 hrs of college for free.

I know Lil C and he wants a big offer I know and talk to him often...don't help your chances by going play in a lower classification and playing against orangefield, HF, etc every week. Especially under a new HC & new offense etc.

If he comes to Silsbee he won't be playing Orangefield, HF, etc every week. He will have every bit as of a competitive schedule as any team in SETX.

My cousin just graduated from San Jac, as a Sr. at New Caney HS. That's great to hear Silsbee is offering this type of program, like some others in SE Texas or should I say greater Houston area.

Sounds like the same or a very similar program. This one is thru LIT I believe. 

[ST413]

We have and are getting good skill players.  How is the offensive line looking? Have a lot of replacing to do there.

There are many schools in SE Texas where students can earn college credits prior to graduation.  Now if your claim is accurate you are saying that a kid can earn TWO years worth of college credits in high school? (60 hours at 15 hours per semester)  Every kid has to complete 16 core courses at a minimum in high school and then they can use their elective slots for on line college hours but elective slots become somewhat limited when you have an athletic period or a band period that a child wants to be in to participate. Simple math on a 7 period day says 4 classes for four years are dedicated to core courses leaving 3 periods per day for electives.. Of those 3 periods, assume one is used for extra curricular.  The very best case scenario is that 2 periods a day are left for college courses (and that is if the district doesnt have locally required electives like Health and Communications).  So realistically a kid might earn 24 college hours at the very maximum and that is if they started their 9th grade year (not a lot of 9th graders ready to handle college coursework).  Regardless, lots of high schools in this area have that opportunity available.

You are correct for other schools. Silsbee is the only school in this area with this new program. Students can have 60 hrs when they graduate. They start this program as freshmen. Begin preparing for it in the 8th grade.....but this is WAY off topic.

Lol exactly he's already got the big offers he's not trying to get them still...but if I'm trying to get big offers I'm not  going play in a smaller classification you think more scouts are showing up in SIlsbee or Beaumont? Point exactly....

I'm pretty sure this young man, if he comes to Silsbee, will get just as many looks in Silsbee as where he came from.

Lil C. is an awesome athlete and one of the best RB in the entire houston area  but IMO so is Adonis Thomas! Lil C is going to be a great asset to the team but its not guaranteed he will be the starter or get as many touches as he would at ozen.  But this would be the best backfield in the state if we use a two back system more. Jones Thomas and Tyler would be hard to top!!!

[BmtPanther34]

key words being "up to 60 hours"

not knocking the program anything to help kids move beyond a high school diploma is a good thing 

also what makes it the first is the partnership with LIT

there are plenty of school where college hours can be obtained that transfer to any college

unless you plan on getting a degree from LIT then there is no guarantee all those hours will transfer to the school the graduate may want to attend

I don't know. This kid is the real deal. I'll be surprised if he doesn't play at the next level. 

I hear the younger McCain will be competing for QB spot next year.

Good news for Silsbee I'm Calvin Tyler (Lil C) is moving to Silsbee after track season and will be suiting up for the Tigers next year. 

Great for Lil C, he will win a few more games @ Silsbee then Ozen.
