Silsbee will have a lot of outside noise this year from fans and media. Do you think this get a to their head or can they finally turn the corner and win a title? We have never been to state in back to back years and only made it to the title game once. Fans are already making plans to head back to San Antonio. Hopefully the players don't get cocky and they really put the foot to the pedal and bring a title on home. Seems like Yates, Wheatley, and Huffman could be strong as well.

How many Silsbee fans know that they made it to the Title game in 1927. Game was at Sam Houston. That was as far as this region went at the time. I heard that all schools hadn't joined the UIL which was established in the twenties.  Got this from an old Lufkin Daily News paper. 

No Look, when you watched that game, who stood out?

I would say they are definitely favored to get back.  Heavily favored.  If they get there, you know some team from Dallas will be there that will be loaded for bare as well.  I do understand your concerns but those kids play really hard almost all the time.  And to be honest, the region is pretty weak.  Yates will be well coached as always but they don't have enough pieces IMO.  They have one kid Silsbee will struggle with but the Lions will have to really limit turnovers to get him the ball.  And no one kid is going to beat the Tigers.

How would that Silsbee team have fared against your team in Iowa that year?  And were the pear baskets you guys played with breakaway?

They would have done fairly well but likely couldnt have matched our speed, quickness, and 2 handed set shot abilities.  That doesnt even count the fact that the starters ranged from 5'5" to 5'8".  We were definitely a force on the boards.

I think Dove coached that 27 Silsbee team

      NIH Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”!

      By Reagan · Posted

      In a video released Monday, Raja Cholan, a top official at the U.S. National Library of Medicine under the NIH, admitted to an undercover OMG operative he doubts jab efficacy and hasn’t “gotten the latest COVID shots and I’m not going to.”  “I PROBABLY SHOULDN’T BE SAYING THIS OUT LOUD;” Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”. "I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.” Adds, "We're all going to learn [about vaccine safety] when it's too late," as Pfizer & Moderna "are just getting a bunch of money… Vaccines were accelerated through the approval.” ‘We fly under the radar of being scrutinized…I don't think I have too much to worry about.’ Trump victory “worse for the NIH.” “It would be better for a Democrat to be in office.” WOW!!!!

      Newsom Proof

      The same reason you worry about Trump more than anything else. Why do trolls like yourself start threads like your Soros hedge fund thread and you never come back to…..just bait. Newsom might make a run for president in 2028. People need to know about his policies. You don’t think that’s important?

      Newton vs Daingerfield

      By Newtonres75-86 · Posted

      I like Newton’s chances here. I’ve watched  videos of Daingerfield what few I could get. Their big Qb scares me a little he looks Ike a good athlete. I think for a change Newton has a little more speed than the Tigers. That Samuel kid for Newton can move., and it goes without saying about Porter. That Hunter kid ain’t bad either. They scared me to death with their pass defense against Edgewood until I saw the video. That Qb for Edgewood can put it on a dime. And, his receivers could catch it. I’m pumped; this is the most fun time of the year for me. Go Eagles.🦅 I have to add this though. I watched the State game between the tigers and Yoe in 2010. Those guys looked like grown men playing as opposed to kids now a days who look like boys.😂 that was a heck of a good game.
