Next year's SETXsports preseason rankings

[AggiesAreWe]

Lot of things change over a season but my preseason #1's in each poll will be 6A-4A #1 Silsbee and 3A-Private #1 East Chambers. A close 2nd in the big school poll could be Beaumont United and in small school, Shelbyville who returns everyone from that state semifinal team this year.

Any other thoughts before we officially close the season?

That’s crazy to think Shelbyville will return everyone. EC return a majority as well? It’ll be interesting to see if some of the re-zoning allows for some kids from West Brook to possibly transfer to United and be game changers. PA will be down a little bit because of the amount of kids they are losing. Nederland should be better. Interested to see how well LC-M is after losing a ton of seniors as well. A lot of intrigue going into next year with the top two spots solidified though.

The rezoning in Beaumont does not affect the kids already in high school.  They're grandfathered in.  It only affects incoming middle school kids, 8th graders, incoming 9th graders.

Any talent being lost from the Bevel Oaks students transferring to the HJ ISD?

Was wondering if that would amount to much just as far as students right now, with the shape of bevil oaks right now.

Was that a real question?

But, can they change if they want to?

Both of those team are gimme #1s.  I would have both ranked 1 in the state in their classifications as well.  In the small school though, not sure what teams such as Leggett return.  Shelbyville seems a cinch 2 though and BU in the bigs.  Atascocita and NS should be better as well.

If they do, they'll lose a year of varsity eligibility, the kids that are already grandfathered in, that is...

Leggett loses most of their scoring. Diboll dropping down to 3A will be a player along with Newton in the small school rankings.

With the realignment not sure Cita will remain in our coverage area.

Huntington has the potential to be very decent next year. They return a good group with the districts leading scorer. Should be deep. JV went 24-3 And one of those loses came after a couple players were brought up to varsity close to end of season. Hoping for a good year.

NO

[BADSANTA]

Silsbee will be #1 in 4A and I'm sure Yates or Dallas Lincoln would be close behind. 

[tennisbc]

What does Yates and Dallas Lincoln have returning? Maybe the question should be will either be better next year, same, or perhaps even not as good?

Silsbee will be the undisputed #1 in 4A.  United should be ranked in the Top 20 too.

Nah, the only area the new United High school will be losing talent will be Vothz, as they will start attending Westbrook 

[rupert3]

Leggett  will still be good and fast with three good freshmen coming up.  With Coach Stewart anything can happen.  I am ready

[TxHoops]

Bmt United vs Silsbee would be the most intriguing local matchup next season.

Good guard matchups to look forward to.  United's Oliver and Harrison vs. Silsbee's Adams, Bush, and McCain.

Make sure the Dunk-o-meter is in good shape.

Well, I think only McCain and Adams will be the only ones dunking.  Lol.  I've never seen Oliver, Harrison, or Bush dunk.

Somebody, somewhere will show up, I guess.  Texas is a big state, lots of 4A teams.  There's a young freshman phenom somewhere.

I coach/train Harrison. Went to most of his games. He had a dunk vs Livingston and the Ozen game at their place. I wouldn't be so quick to say which kids will be at United. I know of several that won't be playing there next year.
