I'm liking my Rebels this year.  Should have experience, height, depth and athletic.  Know our region has some salty teams, but think we can compete.

[BS Wildcats]

Big Sandy in a new district.  We return one player from state tourney teams of the last two years.  Will definitely be a rebuilding year.  It is wide open for Evadale and a district championship.  Big Sandy should still have a playoff caliber team.

I really do hope they win it all so you Silsbee guys can rest well at night.  Question how deep will Sigler really go. There is such a thing as too much "talent" you think. Only 5 can touch the floor ,minutes will be scare. How will the young tigers handle that especially the parents and fans . 

[no-look]

I think Silsbee should distribute some of their players to other teams. We just  need a few.

Good questions, but I think all of these were answered last year when they made it to the championship game.

Not worried about Madison at all....since they dropped to 3A!!

I don't think the players will have as much of a problem as fans and parents.  These kids love playing together and had the same issue last year. As far as the newcomers, they have been playing with these guys for years as well and knew what the situation was upon returning home.  The coaches and players handled it well last year, and I am sure they will this year.

Yes that was last year and we all know mnew challenges,different players etc etc. I only ask because i know the kids like playing with each other. But there is only 5 spots on the floor some kids will feel they need more playing time. When Playoffs come the rotation gets shorter unless its a blowout. Do you think some of the younger ones  are ready for that kind of pressure more so than the seniors who have been there ?

[ST413]

Let's see 2 of the young ones last year were leaders on the team and all indications are Bush will be right there with them. Most of all the others that weren't there last year are srs.

[kingjames]

I think the young Tigers will be fine. This team been playing with one another for awhile each kid has to give what they got and move on I believe it will be more parents then anything 

[Mamba]

I believe they will be ok as welll the majority of the kids are teams are team guys .

Yup, Brownfield and Lincoln return some ballers.

So its safe to say Kelly & Silsbee are locks for a state title

I wouldn't say lock for Kelly. St. Thomas has 7'3 Chris Sodom and Prestonwood always has size and has won state in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015. But we should have a pretty good season.

[Mamba]

Well those are the only schools who have a legitimate chance everyone else is just hanging on to hope and a prayer

22-5A play should be fun with Ozen, Central, Memorial and that championship program over in Nerdland.
