[pride at impact]

1. OF

2. Silsbee

3. LCM

4.  BC/HF

And it's a toss up between Silsbee and LCM.  That will be a helluva district go thru.  But in my opinion OF wins district and has another deep run

I meant Vidor.  

[aTmfan06]

What’s yalls thoughts at just about the halfway point through district? I think this region will be tough come playoffs

[aTmfan06]

I hate talking to myself but cmon guys lol Where are the Orangefield, Silsbee, or BC fans at? How am I supposed to pass time at work if no one wants to talk some 4A lol? I thought Orangefield lost a good bit from last years team but apparently they just reloaded ?

I would'nt say reloaded. They are a good team and very well coached. They come ready to play every game. 

Silsbee tends to beat themselves. Bats go cold, or bad defense pitching pretty much always keeps them in the game. The team has not got on the same page yet hitting. one player gets hot another cools off

OF is top heavy this year with seniors. 22-4a is OF's to win...barring a major meltdown.  Silsbee should come in 2nd and I believe there will be a race for the 3rd and 4th seeds.  BC has a leg up on Vidor and LCM.  Not sure what you'll get form LCM for the remainder of the season and I think Vidor could surprise a few teams.

Would you say Orangefield is the best team in that district as far as the complete package goes?

Vidor kinda puzzles me… you would think after that strong non district start that they would have a good district run… 

[aTmfan06]

I just don’t think Vidor should be losing to Lumberton or LCM… but what do I know

Yes.  Good pitching staff, solid defense, and know how to swing the bats.

Got cold at the wrong time.  A win like Vidor had over BC can turn a season around.
