WOS seems to be kind of bipolar.  There are the "got it together" Mustangs and if they show up tonight they will win by double figures.  Then there are the  "pretty much a mess" Mustangs and if they show up they will probably be blown out. 

The "got it together"  Mustangs lost the 2nd ranked team by only 3 and beat the 11th ranked team by 16. 

The "pretty much a mess" Mustangs lost 3 of their last 6 regular season games losing to every good team they played.  The 3 wins were unimpressive and included a 2 point win over Lumberton and 4  point win over Vidor.  

I hope the "got it together" Mustangs show up because a quarterfinal between WOS and Silsbee at the Montagne would awesome.

Is Yates as good they normally are or is this a down year?

They are a good team and imo could be ranked at the low end of the top 20.  But it is a down year.  They had an off recruiting season.  Booker T Washington stole their best prospects.  

I'm being facetious of course.  Washington is an attractive option for kids in HISD.  They have a brand new campus and an a fine art magnet program.  No surprise that it might attract kids from all over the community.

Yates has several very interesting magnet programs including maritime logistics.  They have a simulator lab that's like the bridge of a ship.

I support the magnet and charter schools concept.  It just seems unfair that they can draw from huge urban talent pool for athletics.  Not surprisingly considering the demographics of Texas it impacts basketball.  But if it's good for the kids' educational prospects I can live with it.

It was only 33 but it could have been a good deal worse.  A lot of kids got a lot of playing time for Silsbee.  They were trying different combinations.  The stating 5 were on the court as a group quite a bit less than usual.
