3A Region III Favorites?


JMT

Recommended Posts

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.

[/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?

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.
[/quote]I know that Cleveland has four starters back but what about Navasota?

    • That’s a heck of a take there. If you could just remove Kountze’s top 6-7 players, you got them.
    • 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 McNeese 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 obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
