Silsbee92

WOS Fresh. 22, LCM Fresh 0, F
WOS JV 24, LCM JV 0, F

Gave it away in 1st qtr.
No mean streak. Getting handled in trenches and can't tackle.  
Not to mention the conditioning...
(Throwing up, cramps, heavy breathing..)
And now no discipline....

Last year Silsbee offense could never find a rhythm.  Four solid WRs and a strong mobile (running/passing) QB is going to create matchups that will be hard to find in time to avoid the big play.  Will have to run man to get to Dontre' (hopefully that wont work.... WOS!!) and running man is what we want.  Height, speed and hands.  Will be fun to watch.  Count on it.
Losing the RBs is tough but I haven't seen a solid running game (RBs) for years in Silsbee.
If, and I do say if, the Silsbee line can give even a fraction better blocking than last year...calf rope.
Defense to me is the same in Silsbee as always.  Keep the opponent under 21 and Silsbee usually wins. (-WOS).

To be fair about it...
Don't believe I heard anybody say Thomas wasn't a great athlete at any point last year.  Dontre has put in some serious work to improve his passing ability (which was not even close to where it is now) which only make his running prowess even more dangerous.  He has shown the dedication and will to improve.  Respect.
Good size young man with extreme lower body balance and strength. 
Will be tough to contain.

This group was frustratingly composed. Didn't keep up with the unforced errors but would bet they had less than 10 for all 3 games against Silsbee.
 Fundamentally sound with great passing. You will have to play almost flawlessly to best the Rockanoos.
 

Play in events against good teams. Don't play in events where your team is winning 15-0. Scouts/coaches do not want to see you dropping bombs against some donkey. They want to see you play against other prospects.
Perfect Game is a nationally recognized showcase sponsor. I would attend and get graded at at least one PG showcase. They have them in Texas throughout the summer.If you can, play in a PG tournament in Georgia or Florida. The amount of exposure you receive there will be well worth the expense.
Don't let your high school coach fool you, players get recruited in the Summer.

63!!
(From an old Silsbee thread...)

Now that baseball is officially over, guess we can completely turn our attention to football !!

Though I see a return to winning ways, with little to no defensive mindset, its all a mute point with Carthage awaiting in the playoffs.
Dare them to do better.
Jmo....

Congrats to all the young men that made this list.... And, If you don't like the list make your own, make sure to explain why your pic is who it is. 

A.A. threw a one-hitter, right?
nothing else to say.
 
Go Stangs. Bring it home.

​I'll ask the bird.

​You're right, especially when your team doesn't have a chance. The season is still 80-something days away so there's not much you can talk about. I will say this though. DC had 3 of the 4 teams that played for the 6A titles ranked 1-3, the ranking mean nothing because Cy-Ranch wasn't even in the top 25 preseason.
The four teams that played for the 5A titles were all ranked within the preseason top 6 by DC.
The 4A-D1 finalist were ranked #2 and #5 preseason, the 4A-D2 finalist were ranked #2 and #4.
While the rankings mean absolutely nothing, some polls are a pretty good indicators of team forecasts, especially if you were to start from the regional finals forward.

congrats WOS!  Love my Huffman Falcons..  They had a great season and ran into a hot team.  Again Congrats WOS!  pulling for you in the state tourney..

If the seeds matchup right and yall play Abilene Wylie I sure wouldn't mind if yall beat the brakes off of them, I really wouldn't mind. 

At least it is not as bad as the meltdown a couple of yrs ago. When the site was down for 2 weeks.
I almost had to start talking to my wife.

3 run bomb by Teate makes it 7-3 WOS. Carthage with a pitching change.
 
True colors today?

​Very odd statement.....
WOS has it's worst inning of a 30 game season and all of a sudden that's their "true colors"?  You don't get to the 4th round by mistake, WOS is a good team that had a bad INNING, it happens. I watched the New York Yankees drop 11 runs on Kansas City in an inning and a half a couple of days ago, it happens. WOS will be back on Saturday and will certainly give it their best shot.

Spend 50,000 thou on AAU ball for a shot at an athletic scholarship..... 

I just spoke with Jennfier Ellis, court coordinator for Judge Mandy Rogers-White, Judge for Orange County County Court at Law.  Ms. Ellis was kind enough to look in her system and told me that no matter has ever been placed on Judge White's docket and no ruling has been issued by Judge White on ANY matter involving the West Orange-Cove CISD, who would have been a necessary defendant in any matter regarding the release of Trey Baldwin's WO-S grade transcript.  Of course, in fairness, Ms. Ellis had no access to the other County Court at Law or that of the District Courts in Orange County so she could not say it had never been ruled on,  But as far as Judge Mandy Rogers-White saying that, her own Court Coordinator says that is not the case.  TxHoops, if you do have a copy of the ruling (I don't care if it is certified on not) and can post it here, that would be extremely helpful and would clear up a lot.
 
And it would clear up some questions in my mind as on the face of it, such language would equal an advisory opinion by the court which is not allowed in the State of Texas, See Valley Baptist Med. Ctr. v. Gonzalez, 33 S.W.3d 821, 822 (Tex. 2000). A controversy must exist between the parties at every stage of the legal proceeding, including the appeal. Bd. of Adjustment of City of San Antonio v. Wende, 92 S.
W.3d 424, 427 (Tex. 2002); McClure v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, 147 S.W.3d 648, 651 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth 2004, pet. denied). An issue may become moot when a party seeks a ruling on some matter that, when rendered, would not have any practical legal effect on a then-existing controversy. See In re H&R Block Fin. Advisors, Inc., 262 S.W.3d 896, 900 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2008, orig. proceeding); City of Farmers Branch v. Ramos, 235 S.W.3d 462, 469 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2007, no pet.).
 
And in this case, there is, legally anyway, no existing controversy as no finding has been made by the entity that counts, the 17-6A district executive committee.  This committee determines the eligibility of ALL transferring athletes. Section 443: CHANGING SCHOOLS FOR ATHLETIC PURPOSES, pg. 21, UIL District Executive Committee Manual.  In fact, a flow sheet in this same manual, shows that the "filing" that Coach Thompson made was merely filling out the portion of the PAPF form which was STARTED and FILED WITH THE 17-6A district executive committee by CY-FALLS HIGH SCHOOL. UIL District Executive Committee Manual, pg. 19. 
 
So Coach Thompson has blocked NOTHING he signed a form, which by the way was also signed by another district administrator in WO-C CISD, they has the box checked that Trey appeared to have moved for athletic reasons.  So he was not the only one who attempted to "block" Trey's transfer (yes, yes, enter either the Radar/Henry Blake or the Bud Kilmer exceptions here!)  All that happens is that the 17-6A holds a hearing in which both Cy-Falls and the Baldwins will be allowed to present evidence that Trey has not moved for athletic reasons.  Given that ALL of the schools in 17-6A are part of the Cypress Fairbanks ISD, I sincerely doubt that they will block Trey's ability to play.  Moreover, if the Baldwins are in possession of an order containing such language, I highly doubt that a bunch of school administrators will block that.
 
But I am thankful for waiting to post this missive until all of the layers of this onion have been peeled as it appears that we have finally reached the bottom of the angst toward Coach Thompson.  It is not that he is "a bully."  It is not that he "wants to only play by the rules when it benefits him."  No, these two (or 3), represent a faction that every since Coach Hooks announced his retirement wanted a black football head coach at WO-S.  This is despite the fact the support for Coach Thompson was widespread amongst all 3 municipalities, Orange, West Orange and Pinehurst and reached across racial lines.  When their efforts, which in some cases were extensive, failed at the recommendation of a BLACK superintendent and confirmation of a duly elected Board of Trustees, they have showed their pain at every turn and this is just the latest.
 
That is all, I am out.

What a bunch of cry babies. Awesome game by both teams. Give credit where it's due.

If the ump can't get in position to see the bottom of the strike zone it's bad for both these pitchers.

Edge to Shugart due to power pitching.
