ST413 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Posted October 12, 2016 I am saying the complaining and moaning would be going on and that's why a lot of schools don't want to play a WOS in football or a Silsbee in basketball, those moans and groans are a lot worse when one of the better teams in a higher class lose to a smaller school. And any of those games are learning, experience games before district starts that's why not Ozen and Silsbee have their schedules. A few years back when Silsbee and HJ were beating those Beaumont schools regularly word went out that they weren't to lose to us little schools anymore....and since then keeping those schools on the schedule has been a problem.

ST413 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Posted October 12, 2016 i don't know what the situation is anymore, besides we both see each other several times during the summer and in a lot of ways it's probably better for us both to face other competition. Now I would like to hear why WB would back out of an already scheduled game. Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 It's official, West Brook did drop Silsbee. Silsbee has not found a replacement game and does not expect to at this late date. Quote
Who That Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Hay I was just saying it would be a good game for both schools LMAO... I've done seen Silsbee run and dunk all over Ozen earlier this year .. First time for me to see Willie" play and he hasn't been back on the court because of football. But he had no problems flying over the Ozen players head and slamming it in.. It was actually a very easy win for the Tigers. And yes I'm a Tiger 100% but don't think I'm knot for the ☆ 409 ☆ if Ozen goes to state in 5A I" will be rooting for them all the way.... Quote

We didn't have Bush" Adams are Devon on the court when we beat them.. It could of been a lot worse.! So many things change". And at that time it was for more the worse for Ozen. lol Quote

Only games the Fb players didnt play in were the ones in the Ozen league. As someone already stated it was just preseason no titles are won in June. DXTR 1 Quote
Mamba Posted October 14, 2016 Report Posted October 14, 2016 On 10/12/2016 at 1:29 PM, AggiesAreWe said: I do know this and this is fact. Several years ago when Dr. Thomas was still sup, he made it known to the coaches that West Brook, Central and Ozen were no longer to schedule Silsbee, HJ or Kountze unless they could guarantee wins over those teams. Said we had no business losing to those teams. Heard that for myself. Mamba is right, scheduling is a two way street. I have heard both sides in regards to Ozen/Silsbee. Probably best they don't play. He also ia responsible for Coach Louis leaving the football program back then. The program was on the rise but because they lost to Nederland he couldnt take it and made ultimatums which doesnt fly for some . Should've just stuck to making that schools better like he was doing Quote

Fall league yes. And Bush and Adams both missed many games in the summer being away with aaa, camps and college visits etc.. Not sure how many or which Ozen games those two may or may not have missed. Quote
BADSANTA Posted October 14, 2016 Report Posted October 14, 2016 At least we can play Central. That should be a great game as always. DXTR 1 Quote
Kountzer Posted November 25, 2016 Report Posted November 25, 2016 i think I figured out why they paired Silsbee against SA Wagner in the first round of the San Antonio tournament. Maybe this is old news; if not here goes: Wagner has a 6'9" 230 center/power forward named Tristan Clark. He's the main reason they are ranked so high. Also, he is a Baylor signee, as are the two Silsbee guards, Jordan and Devon. Some how I think that is a factor in those two teams playing one another. Maybe Silsbee's press can frustrate & wear down Wagner's guards. If not that game will be a long learning experience. Quote

Adams and McCain are only verbally committed. They are just soph. No good reason to have two of the best teams in the tourney playing the first game. But, It's my understanding that SAISD wants their schools in the finals and not some little SETX 4A school. Quote

I've never been a believer of someone manipulating the brackets to accommodate a specific team or to hose another team. You play the next team, if it's the best team in the tourney that you play, then so be it... Quote

This is funny. The tournament is run by South San Antonio ISD and Silsbees first round opponent is Wagner from Converse ISD. San Antonio ISD has nothing to do with it. Quote

San Antonio school districts are confusing (think there are 14 just in the city). Just gave a good laugh from where I'm at and knowing the districts there As for manipulating from what I remember South San probably doesn't want a Converse school to win. Big difference between those school districts. Quote
DXTR Posted November 25, 2016 Report Posted November 25, 2016 #1 6A vs. #2 4A in the first round of a tournament seems a little odd to me. Oh well...go get 'em. Quote

We've had this debate last year when the ridiculous notion vwas brought up that Oxen was INTENTIONALLY put on the difficult bracket in a tournament. ironically, Ozen went on to win the tournament, so that silly thought process goes on to this day. Silsbee will hold their own against ANYONE thisbhear, we can both agree with this. but I'm a firm believer that you will need to face the tough competition either now or later. you'll lose to them now or later. In a tournament, a consolation championship is the same status as a second place finish. Key thing. Both instances will finish with one loss.. Quote

AggiesAreWe Posted November 25, 2016 Report Posted November 25, 2016 Trust me, I have been to many a tourney over the years. Manipulation happens all the time. I know some schools who refuse to play in some tourneys because of that fact. Most single school host tourneys set up their brackets or pools so the host team can be as successful as possible. It is what it is. Quote
Who That Posted November 25, 2016 Report Posted November 25, 2016 Silsbee has got one thing on their mind and that's taking care of Westbury Christian tomorrow.! And to a comment I" read earlier I" don't care how big a guy is ain't no one man show going to beat Silsbee. I can see some hearts being broken in the future for a few S.A. area teams. Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Posted November 25, 2016 Horsepucky. I don't buy it not one bit. Play the team, tough or weak, win, and advance. smh Now if you'd told me that the host was using specific referees for manipulation, that'll be more believable. Quote
