3A Region III Favorites?

[JMT]

Since I don't really see any Region III teams due to living in Dallas (Madison doesn't head down to Beaumont anymore so I don't have a reason to make a trip down that way.), who do y'all folks think will be the cream of the crop in the region this year?

Obviously things could look far different by the end of the season, but as of right now who would be the teams that should be among the best down that way?

My picks to make the regional tourney:

Cleveland- district 22-3A champ
Silsbee- district 21-3A champ
Crockett- district 20-3A champ
Lufkin Hudson- district 18-3A runnerup

Semis would pit Cleveland vs. Crockett out of the top bracket, Silsbee vs. Hudson out of the lower bracket.

Here is last year's bracket to give you some perspective:

This is not necessarily the best 4 in the region, but who I think will make the tourney. Some teams will have an easier route while other top teams will eliminate one another.

NEVER count out Coach Sutherland and his Hawks.  They always seem to find a way to win, and as long as he's there, they have a better than average chance than winning the region.  It must be the O dark thirty morning practices.  Nearly every year, folks say "this is not HJ's year," yet every year they're right in the mix and usually come out of the pack in the front.

Cleveland should be pretty strong this year

Liberty will beat cleveland this year and everyone else in the district, and will go all the way!

Well lets see my favorite four teams in region three are in order as follows

1. HJ
2. Hawks
3. Hardin Jefferson
4. That school in sour lake.

:D :o :D

[/quote]I thought Huntington would make it with that 6'9" post and 6'5" point guard that moved in from Louisiana.............. ;D  Hudson will be 4or5 deep but their bench may lack depth.......not sure they can make it this year to reg?

HF right BLUE ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Liberty has no chance against cleveland. Clevelands going to state there the best team in this region.

[TheRef]

That's what Cleveland thought last year until the first round of the playoffs! HJ

Can't wait to see what the Tigers have to say about this.

[PoppaBearstarr]

I will be glad for the tigers to get some of navasota and cleveland on the basketball court this year....dont get me wrong, I will be pulling for the tigers to win but the cleveland and navasota game were nerve shattering last year.

[AggiesAreWe]

Well, if Silsbee is district champion, then they won't face Cleveland or Navasota till the regional finals as I see both Cleveland and Navasota winning their districts.

The district 21-3A champ gets a much easier route to the regional finals than the runner up of 21-3A.

[PoppaBearstarr]

exactly.....u get what I'm saying I hope you get to play them.

Three starters and a new GPS system.

[HJ2012]

Cleveland will be amazing this year. dont they get like 4 out of 5 starters back or something. They kept the game really close with HJ last year. and i would hate to have to play them!
