    Correct.  If the dates on drivetexas hold,the best route might be for the Wildcats as this point will be to take 96 to Buna and jump on 62 and take that all the way down to 73 in Bridge City and take that to Winnie.  326 between Sour Lake and Hwy 90 and 1-10 between Vidor and Rose City are closed until Friday.

     

    Expect delays at the Veterans Memorial bridge between Bridge City and Port Arthur.

    I saw Damien Bush, young Bush's dad, play for Silsbee in 95.   When and how he got to town I don't know.  I love my hometown of Silsbee, but I've been living in H Town for a minute, so I ain't up on the daily details.  But if young Bush's dad was in Silsbee in 95, shoot homeboy is from Silsbee.  People in small country towns have long memories though.  I don't remember Willie Jones II at all.  I think someone said he played on the same team as Bush Sr.

    That's how that thing goes.  Silsbee & other small towns have been feeding dna, players etc., to Beaumont, Houston, and even Dallas Austin, and San Antonio for many years.  Have all the players in WOS been born & raised in the city limits?  I doubt it., but that's 'nother whole Oprah Winfrey special.  No  I am not implying someone is cheating.  Moving around to a certain extent is basic human nature.

     

    The one memory I have of Willie Jones II is when Silsbee was playing Port Arthur Lincoln at the Montagne for the right to go to the state tournament in Austin. He was the player that hit the 3 pointer at the buzzer to force OT. Unfortunately, Silsbee lost in OT and Lincoln went on to win state that year. That's what I remember of him on the hardwood.
