Playoff venues


Recommended Posts

Just curious on a lot of the schools that host playoff games I’m noticing 5a schools playing in smaller 4a venues like Beaumont United playing in Dayton or when Silsbee played Yates in Dayton now united is playing in East chambers no disrespect at all to thes venues but kountze Jasper and even some 3a venues are being used for bigger Schools playoff games I’m surprised no one plays in Silsbee they have a very nice venue even for football games just curious on everyone’s opinion thanks.

I think I have covered this before, A school has to be willing to host a playoff game first before the two schools involved can decide to play there.

In regards to Silsbee, it's my understanding the admins/school is not willing to host (work) any playoff games as long as Silsbee has teams still in the playoffs. It is what it is.

The other places you mentioned are good halfway points for the teams that chose to play there. East Chambers might be 3A but that facility is better than most 4A and above in this area.

Ok cool I had a friend asking but I understand about Silsbee gotta be there to support the Tigers lol I just remember Silsbee playing Yates in Dayton and people were asking why play that type of a game in a small venue but if it’s good for the Schools involved then it is what it is a lot of people got turned away from that game I guess it’s not all about the money thanks.

I can only speak on BU.  Apparently, the BU coach likes smaller gyms for playoff game.  So the last 2 games, they flipped for the venue and won both times.  So the BU coach picked Dayton and EC, a smaller gym that he likes and feels is an advantage for BU.

He officially announced the decision on Wednesday morning after speaking with players and coaches earlier in the week. The retirement will become official on Dec. 31. Quick leaves a mark on the program that includes a state title as a defensive coordinator in 2001. This past season, he led Lufkin back to the playoffs with another district championship that included a 10-game winning streak and a 10-2 record. “This is my 40th year total, and everybody has said you’ll know when it’s time,” Quick said Wednesday morning. “I can’t explain it or tell you one specific reason. When it’s time, you know. You move on and it’s what you feel is best for you and the kids. Number one is the kids. It always has been.” Quick had a coaching career that started in 1987 as an assistant coach under John Outlaw at Arkadelphia where the school won the state championship. He moved on to Sherman for seven years before taking the defensive coordinator job in Lufkin in 1995. “You spend 30 years of your life in a place and it becomes your home,” Quick said. “I’ve here longer than I’ve lived where I’m from. Lufkin is my home. It’s where my kids are raised. You can’t look at it any different. It’s home. Somebody asks where I’m from. I tell them I’m from Lufkin.” The school will start a coaching search in the upcoming weeks. “I won’t be here in the spring,” Quick said. “You’ve got to give them an opportunity to get people in here. I can’t be here all spring and expect them to find someone to have the team ready after that.”
    • I never miss a game if I can help it.  I missed one this year because we went to see the Longhorns beat the Gators.  That's the only game I've missed in person in 5 years, maybe more.
