Teams to watch for in '17-'18

[About a week ago]

What does each SETX team look like for next season?

 

East Chambers returns basically everyone, and will still be pretty young. They will compete for a DC next year.

I will put out my top 10 for 3A and 4A.... E. C will definitely be much improved with a year returning everybody on a tean that was good.. Only no brainer is Silsbee will be the best in Setx  and possibly top 5 in the whole state 

[Kountzer]

A nice growth spurt or a tall transfer in would be nice.  The four returnees of Kalon Barnes, D McCain, Bray Bush, and Jordyn Adams is a nice nucleus to build around in Smoke Town.  Worry about that in October. Just won state yesterday.

Central returns a couple of big time recruits in Arceneaux and Dill.  Also with a breakout season from Williams, we have a legit big 3. We also return the PG, that was coming into his own this year...Next year, I love our chance to beat Silsbee in the nondistrict matchup and win district outright...

Silsbee supposedly has a kid who was already dunking in game at the 8th grade level. I didn't watch any of those games. I don't know how tall or who the player is.

I'd expect a growth spurt for all the freshman on the team, except for maybe Braylon. I don't think he'll shoot up too much more, not that it matters.

It's another Jones kid, I think he's a cousin to Willie Jones III

I dint expect any growth from Bralon...  I believe he is already the same height as his dad.

Malik Jones and yes he's cousin to Willie. Big kid lots if potential will probably make some noise for playing time.

Homegrown... that's all they want to do is play basketball year round!

Big Sandy returns everybody from a regional quarterfinals team.  Should be a strong threat to make the regional tourney.

[BADSANTA]

Daddy Bush is about 6'1. Bray could grow another 3-4 inches.

Hope to see them back at the EC tourney this year!

Silsbee will be the favorites to win state the next two years (and ranked accordingly). Barring injuries, '18-19 should be their best team.

Bush dad right behind him think he may grows

I think this years team was their best team. Even though I know that Devon, Jordyn, Bush, and Chris Martin are going to be animals 2019... I do not see them being as deep and complete as this years team. I still say they win at least 1 more but probably two.

Maybe the sophomore class can do what the class of 07 for Kountze did. 3 state titles and Regional Finalists

Not as deep but their best 3 players were underclassmen imo.   If they improve the way they should, they won't be as deep but still better.  Silsbee was deeper than probably every team in the state regardless of class.  Doesn't mean they would beat everyone obviously.

This is such a true statement. If you look at the box scores of all the games, Silsbee's bench played more minutes and scored more points than any other team in the tourney, all classifications. And both games for Silsbee were close games, not blowouts where you "empty" the bench in 4th Q.

The Argyle game is a great example. Close game throughout, 0-6 point whole game. Silsbee bench played a combined total of 54 minutes and scored 15 out of the 46 points, while Argyle bench played a combined total of 10 minutes and scored 0 points.

Silsbee's first 3 off the bench (Newton, Tyler, Jones) are so much more important to the team than any other teams first three in tourney. Heck, Jones made All Tournament.

There are kids on silsbee's team that don't touch the floor that are very athletic and will contribute the next couple of years.

Yes sir. I agree

You have been saying this and I can understand why. But it's going to be tough to be better as whole than this group.  Those three should definitely get better and you add Martin and Tyler to them for the next two years as well as a freshman that was on the Jv this year that looks like he will be pretty good and there is good base for the next two years.  However we are losing both of our posts, at least size wise, between this year and next.  Not sure who we will have to fill those two spots. But it's going to be fun to watch.

Willie Jones Dad is kicking his self in the butt, he's wishing he would've taken some  advice when Tre' was a younger kid. Didn't know he started his Sr. Year as a 16 year old man if Silsbee had him 1 more year!

[BADSANTA]

I think the Bass kid who was Silsbee bench can become a good player. He is about 6'3. Very long!
