setxbbfan Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 think most will agree..Silsbee and HJ are the strongest on paper returning.They both have to replace a couple of KEY players, but have solid kids returning.Silsbee is going to be good for awhile. Their 8th grade group was awesome.HJ's program will keep them competing.WOS is losing several key players . Thomas, Broussard, Netherly, and Bevil.It will be a basically rebuilding year for us. Jasper will still struggle but will be much improved and positioned to knock out one of the top 3 for a playoff spot. Orangefield will get better and better with that freshman group. Coach Wrinkle has good reason to talk up playoffs with that group, but it will be very difficult. If the kids at HF will listen to Richards, they will just get better and better.Kirbyville should be in the mix of things but probably will not be.Bridge City..sorry guys...but you are rebuilding after a tough season..probably with a new coach. Still a few years away from success. Great competors and never give up.In summary..we can expect..An HJ - Silsbee war. A WOS/Jasper battleAn orangefield push Comments - on the real..
setxslam Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 Seems reasonable to me. But you never know. Kids at that age mature at different rates, and there's a lot of time for off-season development between now and tipoff.
HJ-Hawks25 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Posted May 10, 2007 Orangefield does have a talented freshmen group...or the group about to be sophmores...HJ's freshmen did beat them both times but OF also had two very talented players moved up to varsity and i think JV. lets see what they have to show next year
Guest catfever Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 I think that it is going to be very competitive next year. HJ should win district again despite losing Donahoe, but the rest of the playoff spots should be up for grabs between Silsbee, WO-S, Jasper and Orangefield.
Guest AISD Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 Game 1- Silsbee @ Hardin JeffersonGame 2- Hardin Jefferson @ SilsbeeGamw 3- IF NECESSARY, Silsbee will take care of business the first 2 games
Guest catfever Posted May 11, 2007 Report Posted May 11, 2007 I understand that you are supporting your team, but Silsbee is going to be down. They are going to have a lot of guys that have to fill roles from the many seniors that graduated. Yes, their JV and 9th were good, but they were good against other JV and 9th. What about all the other varsity kids from other schools who did not graduate. How will these young kids respond to playing against bigger, stronger, and older kids. Don't assume they will step right in.
setxbbfan Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Posted May 11, 2007 Just a reminder...SIlsbee was supposed to be down last year and they could have been in Austin. Silsbee will be tough. Your facts are straight, but I bet they are tough. And just wait for a couple of more years. Same with HJ. ohhh man. My stomach hurts already.I still wake up in the middle of the night hearing..." TAKE HISSSS WHISSSS TLE.
Master T Posted May 14, 2007 Report Posted May 14, 2007 HJ and Silsbee will always be battling out against each other for district champ, WOS has to prove they still got fuel in thier gas tank, Jasper and OF will be fighting and WOS for that #3 spot. So it will be a big battle next year and more years to come
wos_86 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Posted May 15, 2007 Wos has another BEVIL that will be there with an excellent 3 point shot that's on the money. Also there's Chase Champine, Jim McDonald, Darius Rubin just to NAME A FEW GOOD RETURNING PLAYERS. Let us also not forget that some of these were on the varsity putting points on the board while the football players were still on the field!!! If they were good enough then; they should be even better next year having done that. Let's just give our guys their time to shine before we judge what they may or may not do!!! HAVE FAITH AND HEART LIKE THESE YOUN MEN DO!!!

Guest catfever Posted May 16, 2007 Report Posted May 16, 2007 All those guys you mentioned from WO-S that were putting points on the board while football was going on, were doing it with Buddy and Richard playing with them. They weren't putting that many points on the board either. Richard and Buddy put up 90% of their points at that time.
triplehelix Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Hopefully, Coach Quinn can help make the difference for WO-S. The players are talented and should be able to find their feet on the court without Netherly. If their hearts are in it and they play smart, they'll be as competitive as the rest. It will be fun to see how it plays out. You gotta love 3-A BB.
triplehelix Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 I'm not a coach, just an old Orange County BB fan. I wish I had the energy to do what those young men and women do.
