I don't like to get involved in any hiring process or campaign for anyone. But if it was up to me, I would promote Ira Brooks to the head coach position and make his son Jacob 1st assistant and be HC in waiting for a few more years till Ira retires. I do realize that neither are certified but I personally would make this exception and would be able to give time for Jacob to get certified. I believe Ira has earned it.

I can't wait to hear why this was a bad idea.....lol 1 down, 16 more to go that are in the works........ and we didn't die..... [Hidden Content]

New HFC for Baytown Sterling is former REL DC Spencer Anthony. So now GCM’s HFC is a former REL OC and RSS’ HFC is a former REL DC. You think eventually GCCISD would just consolidate the programs since the coaching staffs are all-REL anyway.

This is getting crazy! People who are passing it off as life in the big city is nuts [Hidden Content]

The three Mid-County cities (divided only by city limits signs) have a combined population of 48,600 (2022 stats). Beaumont the same year had 112,000. So Beaumont is 2.3 times the population of Mid-County. In five years from 2019-2023 (years final FBI data available) Mid-County had a total of 7 homicides. That multiplied by 2.3 (to compare sizes equally) Beaumont should have had 16 homicides in the same five years. Beaumont didn’t have 16 homicides total. In fact they never had a single year as low as 16. They actually had 94 homicides or just at about a rate of 600% higher. I guess a population of about 50k isn’t up to a big city status yet but about 100k is.

No. This happened in Beaumont. He doesn't comment when things like this happen there. Now when it happens in other cities, towns and communities in our area, he is all over it. Very very quick to respond.

He probably has a comment or two on Facebook…..

A little bit. Took Silsbee to the state tournament in 2008 and 2010. Regional tourneys in 2005, 2007, 2009.

I need someone to respond to this subject. Need his expertise in calling out this sort of thing.

Good rule of thumb. If it's a Silsbee post, specifically, you will hear about it if you stray... Otherwise, feel free to post whatever. Lol.

I think I'm pulling for Hancock. He's got a good resume and ties to the area. First year is going to be kind of rough for whoever gets the job, but it won't last. Hopefully Tiger fans won't overreact to how next season is likely to play out and show a little patience.

Regardless who gets the job hard to follow behind a legendary hall of fame coach…

He does want it.

They are waiting on Coach Mike Krzyzewski and Coach Roy Williams to fly down for interviews. Then they will be finished.

Ok, these pools remind me of a Sesame Street song.

Hamshire-Fannett defeats Silsbee 28-21 to qualify

There's one thing that's been toppling great leaders for many years. This particular thing is undefeated in that regard.....
