That's almost racist based on what is considered racist now days. Kinda like someone calling Hickman, Notorious B.I.G. Not my words, just an example.

His mind was made up from the start. Like I said in an earlier post, someone much more qualified could have applie He can't hire him on his own, there has to be a vote.

As previously mentioned, Silsbee is loaded with athletes. I wonder how many realize how true this is (from a talent perspective)? In recent years, Silsbee is usually more talented than WOS (and especially depthwise). If Cornel had been Silsbee’s head coach during the time he was at WOS, hard to believe they wouldn’t have a ring or two. Especially because Silsbee, like WOS, would absolutely give him the freedom to coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been watching all these area kids from pee wee through graduation and the West Orange kids are just tougher. Thats the difference, TRUE GRIT . There grade school kids are worked and treated harder than most varsity teams in this area. Ty Cobb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told that Dyer was in command with CT being in hospital. Why didn't the "Coach in waiting" lead the team that night? That was a mess of a game to say the least. I was sitting couple rows behind Pookie and "Steve harvey", sorry I don't know his real name, but u probably know exactly who I'm talking bout. They argued the whole 1st half about how everyone says its CT fault when things don't go right. Who's fault was it that night? Who's fault will it be next season? I hate to bring politics in this. But its like how they still blame 45 for Biden's problems. For this reason hiawatha should schedule Nederland the first game and prove that he is capable. Unless he is skeered 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silsbee community, like WOS, would support coaches instilling such toughness. Not all communities would…like say, Palestine.

Ghost Writer Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Silsbee is loaded with atheletes on the regular. The fact they have not won championships in football is not because the district pours more into basketball than football. To the contrary, the basketball program has not only won championships, but won period for a long time in spite of. It was only when Silsbee got an Administration that afforded the basketball program some of the same amenities as football,(ie: basketball class and the ability to go play outside the immediate area to name a couple), that Silsbee got over the hump championship wise. Football has had those amenities and more. Monetarily, there is no comparison between the two when it comes to outlay. Comparing this athletic program to to others in the area (WOS, Newton, etc) is really comparing communities. The Silsbee community values all their sports not just one or two. Bigger, stronger, faster works well for football, but basketball requires a level of skill that can only be attained through skill development. When bigger, stronger faster meets skilled in basketball, skilled at that game usually wins out at a more consistent rate. I will end with this, Silsbee is unlike anywhere else in this area. They don't take down the basketball goals or prevent basketball practices from happening or even games from taking place until football season ends. Why? because there are other students that are trying to be the best they can at their sport and are not afraid to go play schools while under manned. Before someone asks, yes I KNOW these things first hand. underdog15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
