Silsbee will finish in third place this year..... a three-peat if you will.  BC isn't looking to drop down quite yet.

Not happening. BC's two year win streak over Silsbee will end this season and Silsbee will finish at least runner up.

I agree! HF almost upset Silsbee last year. They always have talent. Maybe this new coach and turn this program around.

A 24-6 loss is almost an upset?

Dude that Silsbee game was tight until the last 5 minutes! It was like 16-6 going into the 4th. A team that was 7-2 vs a what 2-7 team? Yes that is almost a upset! Silsbee struggled that game. Turnovers and penalties killed them. HF was one big playa away from putting some serious stress on Silsbee.

Silsbee has had a automatic lose coming almost every year to WOS. Can they upset them this year and win district?

21-3A will be really fun to watch this year for sure! Here are a few observations that I'm sure will spur some great debate.

1. WOS- This years defense may be one of the best units they've had in 10 years or more. Lots of D1 caliber athletes with a ton of varrsity experience under their belts. This group can flat out run and will keep WOS in every game. Offensively they need to find a running back to replace Lindsey. Salter will be a stable and capable signal caller who will carry much of the load.

2. Silsbee- A very athletic team that will feature a pair of weapons on offense in Reed and Spearman. Not sure how bad graduation hurt them but if I'm not mistaken their JV won district last season and will certainly help the varsity reload with athletes. Defensively the linebacking crew will pace the Tigers. This team needs to watch everyone in the district and not be so caught up with WOS that they let a close game slip away. If they play to their capability they could certainly contend for the top spot. They are a playoff team for sure.

3. BC- Most have written BC off after losing an outstanding group of seniors last year but that should not be the case. BC returns a deep class of seniors and some very capable juniors in skill positions. Zach Cole will lead a good group of linebackers and the secondary will also be a strength with several returning lettermen. Offensively Daniel Faulk will take over at QB and lead a talented backfield that will feature a pair of junior running backs who are big and athletic. Ball control and solid defense will be the key for BC. It may shock some folks but don't be surprised if BC finishes higher than 3rd.

4. OF- With the addition of Coach Smalley the Bobcats just got more interesting! Offensively they will still give opposing defenses fits with that elusive running game that they execute to perfection and one can be sure Smalley will let the Bobcats air it out a little more. The addition of the passing game will cause more defenses to at least honor the pass and not stack up the middle which should open up more room to run. The Bobcats could be a contender with a break here or there.

5. HF- Always has the athletes to play with anyone but consistency has been their downfall as of late. Flashes of great play followed by prolonged periods of mediocrity tends to put the Longhorns behind the 8 ball. HF will return some quality players but depth will be an issue. The Longhorns are not a team to take lightly.

5a. Buna- Don't know a whole lot about Buna except they should not be taken as a pushover because they came from 2A, no way. This team is poised to be the biggest surprise of the season and will surely use the "they don't respect us" mentality to get hyped up for every Friday night. Buna proved last year that they could play with a couple of quality wins against 3A opponents. This team will help turn the district playoff race upside down.

6. HJ- Could be another long season for the Hawks. A good class of young players may be on the horizon. Better days are ahead, just  not now.

Good luck to all the teams. Wish each and every player a safe and productive season.
