Silsbee92

I'm gonna hope that this wasn't meant the way I think it was. The point should have been that there was another option to get a college education. It's pretty much an all VOLUNTARY DECISION. Those of us who served for a purpose generally didn't do it for college, and most if not all understood before basic was over what it might cost us. You tell those "guys" you know that my kids thank them, my wife thanks them, my parents thank them and most of all I salute them. Even if they don't want it. My brothers and sisters In Arms.

I spoke to some people in the LCM area about their facilities and the response was it's not ever going to happen. Lol. Tax base is shrinking. It will prob get worse once the mill is gone. I am really suprised that WOS and LCM haven't even discussed combining their districts. Wouldn't hurt their athletic history at all and would definitely increase their base.

That could be scary considering some of the past arms. Might have to actually visit the tribal grounds this year.

Silsbee wins 3-0 Goals: A. Carter - 2 M. Waters - 1

One thing I would like to see.... With this Tiger team against HJ I would like to see them finish in a strong and overwhelming fashion. Not to embarrass or make a statement of some sort, but to exercise some demons and to understand that to win the 'Ship, they MUST FINISH EVERY TEAM FROM NOW ON. No exceptions. No let up. Be dominant like they can be and not be afraid to lose. Heart & Soul. jmo

Silsbee. Have found their lineup rotations and are in full swing. Be hard for teams to keep up with their fresh legs.

I heard IMG felt the need to play a Texas Powerhouse...... maybe.....

I can see the Lady Tigers playing into the Quarterfinals, though you cant get out of the Region without meeting undefeated Navasota. But I believe in you ladies.

Lady Tigers continuing a promising run for 2015-2016 Silsbee High Athletics. Represent!!

If you are planning on attending the State Tourney then book now!! There are some great deals on hotels.com as we type. I'm Booked and Ready to watch...(fingers crossed) the Finals!!

They looked real good tonight. Might be settling in roster wise.

72-34 End of 3

One thing BS doesnt do that Silsbee does.... Let off the gas at some point in the game. Could be a deciding factor, IF they ever played.

Again...Feel free to educate me. I didnt beat around the bush. I did not call Bridgeport disgraceful. I said the UIL. I wont address the obvious attempt to bait me into the "older player" reference. Different topic and my opinion will prob not differ from yours. Stick to the "transfers". So again... feel free to educate me on them.

Feel free to educate me after my argument: 1) Houston Population & Size : Takes about 40 min to cover most on a drive. Has its own district in 6A, 5A & 4A. Six schools per district usually. 2) Silsbee takes 10 min to cross with one high school but lets expand area to 40 min travel to include Woodville, Lumberton, Buna & HJ. In the hopes of recreating the talent pool. Really? We are going to sit here and debate the difference? I know of a few "transfers" to Silsbee. Most if not ALL lived in Silsbee. One school in One District in a small town. Your argument is sound on the rules but by bringing up ANY transfers that come to Silsbee, if you can name them, is proof that you believe it to be an ok practice.

Took a totally different path than Madison did a few years ago but Bridgeport made that move seem insignificant. UIL knew it was coming and didnt do anything about it. Dont care if there was a loophole or not. Disgraceful on all fronts.

who are we talking about? Im talking strictly about Bridgeport. Dont care about the Sterling team. It was no secret and definitiely not a surprise.

hadnt heard this....

Please. Blasted by a LOADED (questionable) roster of D1 talent. Sterling was at least an all Houston team with 5 seniors playing who outplayed Silsbee . You can maybe question the Sterling team but there is NO DOUBT that the Bridgeport team was a scam and disgrace on the part of the UIL.

It never fails.....this back and forth. It is a really sad thing that this game will not happen for a couple years at minimum. Silsbee is gonna play up a level or two in classification just to get some experience for the playoff runs. I just dont see why either one wouldnt want to schedule a nondistrict matchup but.... How about this. Would HJ consider joining the Whataburger Tourney Lineup? Really great tournament and HJ would represent well in it. JMO.

Read some where that Splendora High got a big donation to help upgrade facilities. If this is true, would it help with some move ins? Coach Hire?

Historically yes, but you cant sleep on any team in this district. Just ask Silsbee (Huffman). Will be nice if Navasota would schedule WOS as Non-District as well. Two great teams!!

Dropped to 3A

Fat chance.

Maybe they can turn this into a Saturday game? Pack both stadiums for a really good time!!
