Recommended Posts

When I was a freshman (back when the wheel was almost round...lol)I worked at the school during the summer. New Supt. told us to clean out underneath the bleachers in the gym and haul everything to the dump. There were several boxes of old trophies.....One I remember was 1927. A first place cup trophy about six inches high.......showed we had beat Silsbee for the championship game at a Sam Houston Tourney.....kept it for a while and later lost it. Wish I would have kept better care of those things.....just didn't seem important at the time.....

Here are my preliminary picks, since someone needs them right away. ;) ;D


My picks are based on last year, not what they will do this year. I see definite changes at the end of the year.


Offensive MVP:  Pheal Hill, Silsbee
Defensive MVP:  Jacoby Turner, HJ

PG:  Garrett Gustafson, HJ
SG:  Prentice Lane, Silsbee
SF:  Zach Hayes, Orangefield
PF:  DC Stallworth, Silsbee
C:  Darius Davis, WOS

I agree with the exception of shooting guard..............Greyson is a better shooter than Prentice.  I based it on who I thought was the best 3 pt shooter in district!!!
[/quote]

and I based mine on scoring average. Prentice avg. more points a game than what Greyson did. I didn't want to just regulate that position to just 3 point shooting only.

Very proud moment for Lumberton. Keep hanging your hat on that one season. Silsbee will just keep doing what they do, make the playoffs.

That is correct. In the last 39 years, only 4 times have the Tigers failed to make the playoffs. One of those years was 1982, my senior year. Back then only 1 team went to the playoffs and we tied Hebert for district after splitting with them, but lost to them in the district playoff game. Hebert went on to win state that year.

Wasn't this Silsbee/Hebert playoff game in the Beaumont Civic Center?  If so, I remember going to that game.  My that was a while ago - you were a Senior that year AAW?

silsbee is a lock for district champs an in 05 they 8 players make all disrtict an the newcomer of the year an off. mvp so thats a total of 10 so i could see a repeat this year
[/quote]

Your right..........I do not even know why they play the games.  I am calling UIL today and talking to them about cancelling all 21-3A games so that Silsbee can begin preparations for the playoffs!! ::) ::) ::)

[/quote] Lazeek, the above quote is in no way indicative of what most Silsbee fans think. Yes, we are passionate about our program as are most successful ones, but we are also respectful of other programs as well.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
