I don’t spend much time in on this board but I lurk occasionally. I have seen many discussions about coaches, players, Jimmy and Joes, etc. I think @Reagan will be able to point to Eric Peevey to support his importance of coaching argument. One of the most incredible things I’ve seen in his immediate transformation of that program. Good luck Bears and Stangs tonight. OC over everyone.

As far as I am concerned, in this area this is United's highway. Everybody else needs to stay in their lane.

About four hours to go.Then the Mustangs gonna shock CS.

I think the dunk count was 1-1. And yes we didn’t have a good first half. Two big parts of that was Madison plays good defense and the fact that we had 4 fouls called on us in the first quarter, 2 on Harris and 2 on Miller. I believe Bottley ended up with 2 in the first half as well. That pretty much handicapped our defense in that half. My hope was that we kept it no more than a 10 point deficit at the half. Which is exactly what it was. We couldn’t get much to fall in that first half either. Now to be honest their was some pretty questionable officiating. I know you always see things in your favor but I did see some both ways. Now I am not going to nit pick the calls because we got the biggest one of the night. We were up 2 with them inbounding the ball with about 9 secs left, and they missed a pretty obvious ball off their players leg on the inbounds that went out of bounds. They got the ball back and got the dunk that tied it. But then we got the biggest foul call on the 3 point attempt by Haynes that probably doesn’t get called most of the time. It was kind of a desperation type 3 pointer where 2 or three of their players were around him. He probably was fouled but that call isn’t made a lot of the time. great gritty come from behind win for these Tigers!!

Peevy is not forsale!

Let's Go Mustangs' give all 112%. Get this Win!

Safe travels to my Coogs and the Tigers! See yall in lufkin @ 7:30!!!

This is a tough game to pick. On paper, CS beats Carthage & that makes them the favorite, but…….like basketball, sometimes football is about matchups, and that distorts the heck out of this game. The Carthage D is one of the best in the State, but that’s based on defending the spread offense most schools run. They play CS who, at least in that game, was a predominately run offense, which they do very, very well. The Carthage D was out of sync. CS hit them in the soft spot, their one weakness. On the other hand, the Mustangs D has faced quite a few run oriented teams, starting with Vidor in a pre-season scrimmage. They defend it very well. IMO WOS has a much better chance beating CS than they would’ve against Carthage. This should be one durn good football game. I’m pulling for The Stangs, but CS has to be the favorite. More I look at this one, the better WOS chances look. This one, all about the matchup.

Safe travels to all and may the best team win. Obviously I hope the Tigers are the best. I return after the game to congratulate the Cougars on a fine season or horrors at the thought best of luck going forward. Thank you to those of you willing to discuss the game.

United will play the winner of Madison and Grace academy SOC will play the winner of Aldine Nimitz and SFA West Brook will play the winner of CE King and Lagrange Silsbee will play the winner of Aldine and Sharpstown

Lots of reasons Vidor lost, not the least of which was not having someone mirror the QB. The difference this week is Peevey & Staff. They’ll have a plan to prevent the young QB from running loose. If it works, & I expect it will, LCM wins it comfortably. Full disclosure - for the LCM/Kilgore game I had the O/U points at about 102 and as we know, the final of 45 (24-21) is so far off my prognosticating job is in the toilet (🤪). But…..I got the winner right & that’s what we’re looking for here. Whether LCM wins comfortably or by 1 point in Double OT, a wins a win a win. Go Bears!

Silsbee receives a bye to the 7:30 pm game. They’ll play the winner of Pool 1 2nd place team and Pool 2 3rd Place team. I haven’t received most of the scores from today so far so I’m not sure of the teams.

Looking at the bracket, I’ll tell you who they play after I go back to college for an advanced engineering degree.

I don’t see anyone cussing you out. Everyone has opinions. Everyone has doubted LCM all year we were 1-7 last year turned around to 11-2. Most teams don’t win like that over night. Win or lose it’s been a great season and next year we will even be better

Silsbee’s first ever win against Dallas Madison they beat us in State some years ago

This Silsbee Tiger team does not like to lose.

Big win Tigers!!!!!!!!!

Tigers take it 58-56

LCM opponents wins and loses. 90-52. Chapel Hill 74-66. If you believe in Calpreps it has LCM winning 28-24. Calpreps has been 3-0 predicting our playoff games! I think it’s going to be a close one!

Solid win.

They should have added more guards to their shopping list, lol.

Final Madison. 43 United. 77

Going to Arkansas and new orleans

Agree 100 percent. Silsbee and others are very good teams. But United is at a whole other level.

Facts. Doesn’t mean other teams aren’t talented or good but we’re talking about a top 25 team in the country. It’s definitely levels to this

Looks like it’s gonna be a beat down like I said 🤦🏾‍♂️

Thats what it looks like. Madison has come down and lost to the best teams in SETX.

This is no contest. Madison already with that defeated look. Halftime Madison. 20 United. 44

Thanks for joining in. As a png fan, it was good to have someone from up north to give some insight on the TH perspective. Hope you stick around.

Lubbock Estacado won 3A state that year. 3A then is 4A now.

Ok, there is a long way to go this season. But these more than impressive wins are stacking. I really thought this team would make a run this year but was a year or so away from seriously challenging for another ring. I think at a minimum we’ve all been put on notice that they have those intentions this year. Wow.

How good shooting. WB can’t handle the pressure and quick hands. And the biggest factor was the play of J. Williams down low!

Game Day------GO BEARS!!!!!!

He is talented but also has so much personal baggage I am not sure he will ever truly succeed to his potential.

Reading is fundamental

All I’m saying is big J showed up big time for 3 years, so many times I watched him step it up and make game changing plays when we needed it. He kept us in the game or set us up for success and he usually saved his best work for late game crucial situations. An impact player, if only they could have figured out how to integrate him into the offense better. In the other kids defense, it’s not really a fair comparison just yet. He could come out, be unblockable and set the world on fire next season. I hope he does… just not when they play the Pirates lol.

I guess you can be thankful it’s a freebie cuz you blew it…lol

I remember that Madison team. They beat Central in this same tournament by like 5. That team had a highly touted sophomore guard and twin towers. I think one kid was 6’9” and the other kid was 6’8”.

Wow!!

Maxprep had United 103 Lagrange 30 Final

I noticed nobody in this thread has mentioned he made The Big 12 All-Academic team. I wonder why?

we can call it what ever we like what we saw lastnight i like the new beed myself. as i drove up tp the parking lot to pick up my kid what i saw on 4 car windows head hunters big x across the windowi do belive wo-s is ready win are lose i wish them the best.

He has the talent to walk-on at a lot of D1 schools as well. So that's also a potential option.

Aldine started off strong with 13 points in the first half. Must have gone cold in the second half with only 5 points.

If you keep up with powerlifting, be on the look out on just how much he lifts this year and don't be surprised if you see him in Abilene in a few months.👀

Whats your prediction Rodney Dangerfield ?

Here he go.

I wonder, if he’d been at Carthage or one of the prominent schools, if recruiters would be lined up with offers? UT, TA&M, LSU, etc, etc. Jordan has the physical ability, and more heart than 98% of other kids. I guess height is the only downside for Defense, but he’d still be an outstanding Center or Guard on offense. Here’s the deal, I hear other folks taking about kids getting multiple offers from big time D-1 schools. Some, even though they’re good, don’t appear near as good as Jordan. Am I just seeing something not there because he’s a Pirate, or do others see the same thing? Would like to hear from some posters that aren’t Pirate supporters.

Man, that's very true about Jordan. He truly never knew his size and strength for the longest time til about high school and that's when he really learned to utilize it and that's when he really hit another gear. But hopefully we can see him play at the next level the next few years and gives him a shot and let's him showcase his talent wherever that may be. Jordan did just get an offer from Howard Payne University yesterday. Its not a D1 school, but alot of NFL HOF'ers played DIII football as well.
