We are what can be termed as a true Golden Age of sports in Southeast Texas and have been since about 2014.  Rarely, if ever, has the area seen this concentration of local teams competing at, and winning at, the state level.  Here are the teams that have captured state titles or competed at the state tournament:

State Champions

2014-15 - Huffman Hargrave (4A Softball)

2015-16 - West Orange-Stark (4A-II Football), Hardin-Jefferson (4A Girls Track)

2016-17 - West Orange-Stark (4A-II Football), Silsbee (4A Basketball), Beaumont Legacy Christian (TAPPS 3A Girls Basketball), Port Neches-Groves (5A Baseball)

2017-18 - Newton (3A-II Football), Port Arthur Memorial (5A Basketball), Silsbee (4A Basketball), Liberty (4A Softball), Dallardsville Big Sandy (2A Baseball)

State Finalists

2014-15 - West-Orange-Stark (4A-II Football), Newton (3A-II Football), Ozen (5A Basketball), Dallardsville Big Sandy (2A Basketball), West Orange-Stark (4A Baseball)

2015-16 - Silsbee (4A Basketball), East Chambers (3A Basketball), Jasper (4A Girls Soccer)

2016-17 - Barbers Hill (5A Girls Basketball), Dallardsville Big Sandy (2A Baseball), Beaumont Kelly Catholic (TAPPS Class 6A Baseball)

2017-18 - West Orange-Stark (4A-II Football), Beaumont Legacy Christian (TAPPS 3A Girls Basketball)

State Tournament

2014-15 - Kountze (3A Basketball), Jasper (4A Girls Soccer)

2015-16 - Dallardsville Big Sandy (2A Basketball), Crosby (5A Girls Basketball)

2016-17 - Jasper (4A Girls Soccer)

2017-18 - Leggett (1A Basketball)

 

And the above are just the team titles from the area.  This does not include the individuals who have medaled at state track meets, weight lifting meets and the like.

Finally, the best, part.  This Golden Age is far from over.  Even for the remainder of this year, there are a number of teams that are a threat to make it to Austin or Round Rock.  Next year, Newton and Silsbee could be considered favorites to repeat, West Orange-Stark a threat to reclaim a title and a number of area teams looking to step into the state championship spotlight!

10 seniors. Only 1 returning player that played significant minutes.

[AggiesAreWe]

And yes, the year is not over. I fully expect Kalon Barnes to repeat as 100 and 200 meter state champion. And who knows, if the Silsbee 4X100 can finish high enough, a possible state track championship could happen as well.

[BADSANTA]

Yeah I know Silsbee track team should be great again. Barnes and Lowe return for 100m relay. Not sure who else returns.
