How The Beaumont Enterprise ranks the top five high school football teams in Southeast Texas (with 2008 records):

1. West Orange-Stark (12-1)

The District 21-3A school has two Oklahoma-bound players in Trey Franks and James Haynes. Both play wide receiver and defensive back.

2. Vidor (5-4)

Vidor returns 18 starters and has an offensive line that averages 280 pounds. The big boys up front should allow the running game to be successful.

3. West Brook (7-2)

The junior-heavy Bruins return 22 lettermen. Coach Craig Stump calls this season's team the most athletic he's had in five years at the school.

4. Lumberton (8-2)

The two-time defending District 20-4A champs will look for three this year as it returns 11 starters, including standout linebacker Anthony Beard

5. Silsbee (6-5)

A play away from beating WO-S last season, Silsbee returns West Virginia University-bound quarterback Jeremy Johnson.

Silsbee???????????

Over Central, Nederland, and Livingston?????  (not to mention Dayton and their state run in 2008)

I'm from PN-G and I specifically don't argue their merit into the top 5 because of last year's performance, but 3 teams from 20-4A that made it to the playoffs with Central going 4-deep?  Where is the logic?

Not that im saying silsbee should be 5th but Livingston isn't part of this area. Central lost a lot of returners I think even though i'm sure they will be fine. Dayton lost a whole lot I think but i'm sure they will be ok too. Guys, these are rankings. There just something to look at before the season. If you want to do your own, go for it instead of bashing other peoples.

Dayton being out of the readership area is what kept them out.

What about Kirbyville, who went all the way to state last year, and seems to have a program coming back that should also do very well into the playoffs, (which by the way did "practice" against silsbee and came out very well).

There are several teams from the area that you could make an agruement against Silsbee!  Now, Im not in any way putting down Silsbee or its program.  They have a very exciting quarterback thats awesome to watch play but, Im just thinking if they was wanting just to throw someone in there at five they could have covered one the local schools that by either a new coach or new attitude has stepped it up and would make for something worth reading!  I'm just not sure they are intrested in making things more intresting!!  Just covering the basics keeping people happy!!  Yes you are right its just something to read before the season, That paper is allowed to give its opinion about who it thinks is the top five by comparing them to other schools in the area, by the same rights, I have the right to give my opinion about the newspaper comparing it to other media in the area!

    • I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure. 
    • WOW what a game. just got home, I'm gonna sleep with a big smile all night. PNG QB passes were spot on tonight, lil #17 freshman receiver had huge catches at critical times in the game. # 44 had a couple of huge catches including the 'jump pass' on 4th down for a touchdown.  #4 made big plays at key times on both sides of the ball, he is a beast. #11 played his usual consistent game with big time catches and a couple of good punts and a good job of just falling on a bobbled kick reception. #27 probably had 125 yards or so rushing. The defensive backs did a good job, bending but not breaking including the interception in the end zone. I thought the TH coaches messed up not trying to score with the high power players they have when they got the fumble right before half with 45 seconds or so on the clock and 3 TO left, if they would have scored then it would have broke our backs. I know it was 90 yards to go but they could cover the field in 3 or 4 plays. This is one of the most exciting wins in PNG's long history of exciting wins. Oh yeah kudos to the fans for getting in to the game at key times and in my Opinion making a big difference. 😂
    • To the 41 individuals that picked TH…..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Round 4 here we come!
