Yeah, footage from those games are probably gone for good.

Somebody from PA has some Silsbee/Lincoln clips posted on Youtube for a trip down memory lane. Mostly stuff from the early - mid 90s.

I've seen those clips.  Need some PA LHS clips from the 70s, back when Earl Evans Was playing.

Eddie Owens. Wheatley lost to Dallas Roosevelt in state semifinals in 1972. They won state championship in 1973. That game with Roosevelt still is entrenched in my mind. That was the first t

Silsbee by 15 I watched the entire Jacksonville/Kilgore game. If Jacksonville plays Silsbee like they did Kilgore in the first half, they're going to be in serious trouble. They can get hot from

Eddie fobbs played around 98ish-00   I don’t know an Eddie Owens before my times I guess. But fobbs was a silsbee kid. Like 6’11 kid. Great player. 

Eddie Owens played for Houston Wheatley 1970-73.

Fobbs. Jr. played for Silsbee and Sam Houston State. He got the nickname of Cardinal Killer from the local media because he always had his best games against Lamar.

I was at that game.  The player for Wheatley was Eddie Owens.  He went to UNLV but didn't pan out. Kountze played Wheatley maybe the season before and lost by maybe 4 pts., gave a run.

Yeah, Owens, and they had another tall hotshot but I can’t remember. I was there, too. Bmt. High gym, I think.

The class of 1972 was a very athletic class.  They went deep in the playoffs in football. They went even deeper in the basketball playoff, going to the final four in Austin.  Rufus Cook and the baseball team made the playoffs.  In track James Hunter was putting up some amazing track times in the sprints.  Hunter was high school all American in football. David Brown was all American in basketball.  They did not win a chip but a lot of classes did not either.

There was no service charge for online tickets.  Just $8.  It didn't let me pick a seat but gave me a weird seat in a corner.  I'm sure they won't be checking that.  A 7000 seat arena will swallow two 4A second round playoff crowds.  

It's a long drive but it is a great venue.  Better I think than Sam Houston.  And it's much much better than the site for the Region Tourney.  It's closer for us than Bryan.  And I notice that there aren't any events scheduled for March 3rd and 4th.  C'est la vie.

I've been to a few graduations there. Great venue.

This year’s team broke ‘72’s record of 12 - 0 before losing in the quarterfinal to Brenham 21-20. 50 years it stood as the standard in SHS football annals.

Some of y'all think this game is gonna be close? They're the ones who'd better be playing their A game or it's gonna get ugly. I wasn't that impressed with Jville in the few games I took the time to watch.

Silsbee has a few eligible kids from JV who can step up and contribute for a few minutes if need be. It probably won't be necessary.

I agree. I watched the game that was posted on here and was not impressed at all. Silsbee by 25

      NIH Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”!

      By Reagan · Posted

      In a video released Monday, Raja Cholan, a top official at the U.S. National Library of Medicine under the NIH, admitted to an undercover OMG operative he doubts jab efficacy and hasn’t “gotten the latest COVID shots and I’m not going to.”  “I PROBABLY SHOULDN’T BE SAYING THIS OUT LOUD;” Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”. "I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.” Adds, "We're all going to learn [about vaccine safety] when it's too late," as Pfizer & Moderna "are just getting a bunch of money… Vaccines were accelerated through the approval.” ‘We fly under the radar of being scrutinized…I don't think I have too much to worry about.’ Trump victory “worse for the NIH.” “It would be better for a Democrat to be in office.” WOW!!!!

      Newsom Proof

      The same reason you worry about Trump more than anything else. Why do trolls like yourself start threads like your Soros hedge fund thread and you never come back to…..just bait. Newsom might make a run for president in 2028. People need to know about his policies. You don’t think that’s important?

      Newton vs Daingerfield

      By Newtonres75-86 · Posted

      I like Newton’s chances here. I’ve watched  videos of Daingerfield what few I could get. Their big Qb scares me a little he looks Ike a good athlete. I think for a change Newton has a little more speed than the Tigers. That Samuel kid for Newton can move., and it goes without saying about Porter. That Hunter kid ain’t bad either. They scared me to death with their pass defense against Edgewood until I saw the video. That Qb for Edgewood can put it on a dime. And, his receivers could catch it. I’m pumped; this is the most fun time of the year for me. Go Eagles.🦅 I have to add this though. I watched the State game between the tigers and Yoe in 2010. Those guys looked like grown men playing as opposed to kids now a days who look like boys.😂 that was a heck of a good game.
