Silsbee Tiger Basketball Next Year

[AggiesAreWe]

A kid can play any high school sport at the age of 19 as long as he doesn't turn 19 before Sept. 1st. He can turn 19 on Sept. 2nd and be eligible to run track at the state meet in June.

I was impressed with kingwood park being able to hold Yates to 68 points after Yates put up all those points against other schools no body will be afraid or intimidated of Yates if they ate then Yates has already won,win or lose if the tigers get to play them Silsbee will be ready,can't wait to Silsbee schedule next year it will probably be extremely rough.

Yates losing 9 seniors off this years team, so I think Silsbee and HJ has a good chance at making another run in the playoffs...
[/quote]Yates JV is reported to be better than their varsity. They have two bigs and I know one of the bigs can ball. They are playing JV only because of UIL transfer rules. ;)

Blue uses the phrase UIL transfer rules.  This is also construed as UIL recruiting rules. :D

Isn't that as long as your not 19 before September 1st?
[/quote]

It's my understanding he will not be 19 before Sept. 1st.
[/quote]

If Elam is eligible, Silsbee is in good shape for next year!
[/quote]True! And I think they will beat HJ twice in their district meetings. ;)
[/quote]

No doubt.  By at least 20 in both games

A high school player MAY ONLY PLAY 4 YEARS regardless of when you turn 19.

Not necessarily true.

Giddings had a player play 5 years, Fitzhenry. Just ask the WOS folks about him. ;)

[WOSgrad]

In order to answer the question regarding Chris Elam's eligibility, which would effect Silsbee basketball next year.  The following is the entry from the UIL Basketball Manual, p. 28:

"Subject to the other eligibility rules of the UIL Constitution
and Contest Rules, an individual is eligible to participate in a League varsity athletic contest as a representative of
a participant school if that individual is less than 19 years old on September 1 preceding the contest..."

[/quote]Yes, I guess you could say that too. But as long as you stay within the rules, its okay ;)

How could that be? ANY high school kid gets 8 semesters to play...WE were hit by that rule when one of my teammates that was actually SKIPPED up a grade from 7th to 9th, wanted that year back, but was told he could only be eligible for 8 semesters.

All I know is that the Fitzhenry kid appealed to the UIL and played 5 years. Not sure if it's a varsity rule or not.

[/quote]May have gotten an exception based on an UIL rule kids use as seniors with academic problems ;)

Now you can get a 5th year granted if you were HELD out a year due to extenuating circumstances, but NO KID can actually PLAY for 5 seasons...

[BADSANTA]

He will play next year! Period!

[Lazeek]

you will have to win an appeal with the UIL to play a 5th year and those rarely go through unless there are extenuating circumstances


WOS Grad you can post all the rules you want....you get four years....once you enter high school all you get is four years

Lazeek it sounds as if your pulling for him not to play! If a player can play sports until he is 20, Chris will have no problem.

If THAT is the case, then he could be granted a 5th year....UNLESS he was forced to play with the 9th graders as an 8th grader due to age...THAT makes a difference, which means his clock started as an 8th grader...Not that would not grant it, if there were some special circumstances, but it would not be automatic.

[Lazeek]

He played on freshman team as a 8th grader

[Lazeek]

Chris is a great player.  I hope for him he gets to play.

So you admit that he has already played 4 yrs of high school sports?

[BLUEDOVE3]

There are loop holes for kids to play pass 19 ;)
