I don't believe I ever said Silsbee DOESN'T have a setter coming up...I said they are in trouble unless they have one coming up. And I watched Silsbee and H-F play many games last year and H-F had good J.V. setters and Silsbee's was decent. The problem is both teams played a 5-1 on Varsity and had great setters on Varsity. It is completely different running a team on J.V. than Varsity. On Varsity you should be running quicks, shoots, and a lot of motion. Don't say these two J.V. teams did that b/c they didn't. I'm not saying a setter can't learn how do all of these things before the season (it doesn't really take long if she has good hands)...I'm saying if they don't...the teams could be in trouble. It's simple 4 good teams next year...three spots...I just picked OF, BC, and HF. Nothing against Silsbee...but they did lose a lot...but they are always capable of reloading.

Don't tell em mactiger. Let them figure it out next year. And yes this young lady is very talented a long with the rest of the team. With the best Vball coaches in this area Silsbee has a better than good chance to make the playoff.

I don't know what her name is but I believe she was number 8. She had a really good arm swing and great approach just pretty inconsistent (which is expected from freshmen). She's going to be very very good in time and I believe she'll have a great impact next year. With Emily Kosh setting her the ball...she'll be much much more consistent. Kosh will be next years outstanding setter.

Well I'm sure the four teams fighting for those three spots are working hard. I haven't seen anyone play this summer. I don't usually watch any volleyball during the summer months. All I can say right now is it's going to be BC, OF, HF, and Silsbee fighting for those three spots and my gut is telling me BC wins the district and HF is on the outside looking in. But I haven't seen anyone play. Season will soon be here and a lot of games to watch.

I can't get much out of summer league games either, don't get me wrong it's great practice, but all the kids aren't able to show up.....they have vacations, camps and other interest, imagine that.....ha......BC does have a great coach.....I'm going to wait til the season gets going before i start my predicitons, but one thing i do know is it's going to be fun watching it unfold.....i look forward to reading your postings.....

I personally think there is no clear front runner. This will be a very balanced year. Could go down to the last week.

Silsbee this Silsbee that...aren't reporters supposed to be neutral...lol.I do not know how many Silsbee volleyball games you covered last year but they lost a lot of important pieces and had an extremely weak j.v. Now...they very well could have had a lot of young ladies sitting the bench on varsity (I only know of one that was a sophomore and she was pretty good). I've said it before and I've stated the reasons after breaking the teams down (look at earlier post) this will be a race between four teams for three spots. I believe BC will win the district because they were very young last year and always seem to play the smartest volleyball of all teams in the district. The other two spots between HF, OF, and Silsbee. Can HF and Silsbee replace their dominate hitters and great setters (both teams played a 5-1)? Is OF volleyball ready to take the next step in this district and be known as more than a basketball school?

It's should be a very fun year.

Again, Silsbee will dominate like they have always have. ;)

Who said I was a reporter and had to be neutral? I did not "cover" any volleyball games last year, much less Silsbee's.

I just know what I know. ;D

Oh, and Rizon, if you'll look real close, you can see I am a Silsbee Tiger. ;)

Silsbee, and I repeat "Silsbee" will not dominate in any girl sports. They may do well in some but not dominate. ;D ;D ;D

Haha...I know you are a Silsbee Tiger...I thought you were a reporter though. I have to agree with BleedOrange...they will not dominate volleyball...might not even make the playoffs. They can throw the towel in for Basketball. They lost a lot in track. I'm not sure in softball but I do know they lost some Very important pieces. But this is about volleyball...should be a very fun year.

    • I don’t know about any rivalry there because I don’t live there but although LP and DP play in different classifications they still have a lot in common.  I mean, both beat Barber’s Hill this year!
    • I’m super excited for this game.  PNG has the team and game plan that will slow TH down.  No way we can stop them the entire game, but I feel if we slow them down we can win similar to what we did last year to Lake Creek and SOC.  
    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
