There is now dirt in that huge dip!! The stadium is actually moving about 100 yards into those woods that were on the scoreboard end of the stadium.  The new field house will be sitting on about the old 25 yard line.  The new goal line will be pretty close to where the 50 yard line was.  Add in more depth for a track, plus the shot and disc area going on the far end and it is a completely different look now for SA.  Yesterday they started putting down the layers for the track (lime, followed quickly by limestone soon etc).  Plumbing is going in for the field house, will probably pour the slab for it in the next week or two. 

Progress is coming along nicely.  Starting to look like a construction site finally. There was a TON of dirt work to be done.  Directly behind the old stadium was a pretty nice little dropoff that had to be built up, plus a hill that had to be flattened out.  Hellas came in at the beginning of this week and is working daily.  Slabs for the building are being prepped as I type.  It's coming along nicely right now.  Hard  to really take a picture because there is no where to get up above it and show you the progess thats been made.

White Oak has a 6'7 post, another that is about 6'3.  PG is super quick and can beat you off the dribble.  They are deadly from 3 point land.  If you leave them open they knock it down many more times than not.  Scoring wise on the year they are pretty balanced.  Its pretty much pick your poison with them.  They are the defending state champions for a reason.

[/quote]Just so you know, I'm pulling for SA not Mumford.  I was just passing along info on Mumford because I saw them last year at the State Tourney.  I'm pulling for my home town team EC as well.  Both of us have tough games.  It's the State Tourney. [/quote] You hit the nail on the head.  It's the state tourney.  EC nor SA would be here if they weren't talented.  I've seen Mumford...they are very good...but so is SA.  Their performance in the regional tournament was quite impressive.  Knocked off #9 and #3 by a combined 36 points.  Mumford vs SA is a state-championship caliber match-up.

If San Augustine plays to their potential then they are capable of beating Mumford.  These are the two best non-charter schools in Texas class 1A and it has the potential to be one heck of a ball game.

If I'm understanding the process correctly SA will play either Mumford or El Paso Harmony

Depending on what happens out in Region 1, it looks like SA is going to miss Triple A in the semi's! Mumford won region 4 and El Paso Harmony has fewer losses than AAA as well, which woulda or those the top 2 seeds.

Simply bc that means Big Sandy was as good as thought..... I wish the best of luck to SA if they beat Triple A (if they go that far) then more power to them. I'd love for a southeast Texas team to bring it home. Good luck SA [/quote]big sandy was really good, they will be a force to be reckon with the next few years. I would love for SA to bring it home but it's not gonna happen, triple a is gonna take state this year and next for sure. Too much talent. [/quote] Triple a in a dogfight for their standards right now. Only up 12 at halftime

Triple A is the hands down favorite to win state. Not your typical 1A club.

Big Sandy not handling pressure and athleticism at all.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1380467" timestamp="1361981252"] Casual observation....  The Silsbee Coach made mention TWICE that Yates have/will have  'move ins'.  Interesting.... 8) [/quote] Not being rude, seriously just asking...where did you see that?  The story that the link took me to he doesn't even mention Yates at all, just how missing shots and free throws got them beat.

Out score em 27-10 in the 4th quarter.  When it sparks...it explodes.  Good job of the wolves of not getting frustrated and just keepin on fightin. 

Broad us-New Summerfield followed by San Augustine-Joaquin in Temaha Friday night.

Probably Joaquin. Definitely the shooting around the bucket wasn't good. It's got to improve if they want to represent region 3.

6-22 from the free throw line and not converting around the bucket. Might have shot 20% maybe

It was good enough to beat everybody in district but BS. [/quote] It was also bad enough to lose to em too....

Woodville Tuesday at 7:00 i believe. I like West Sabine's chances in this one.  I don't know what Hull-Daisetta does on defense, but they had better be ready to defend in transition and defend the three point line.  If West Sabine gets hot then it could be a long night for Hull.

yikes 4 of 18 from the free-throw line.  There is the difference in the ball game folks.

Have y'all looked at the bracket? Braoddus will play the 2nd place team from district 24 and then would play new Summerfield. New Summerfield is far and away the weakest district champion in region 3. Broaddus has a very real chance of being in the 3rd round.  As for West Sabine...mark my words they will beat Tenaha if they shoot the ball well.  Tenaha falls back into a zone, which will give them ample opportunity to shoot the long ball. 

I'm a huge fan of SA...but Broaddus and West Sabine aren't that good? West Sabine is in the top 20 and could sneak into the regional tournament. Broaddus spent 90% of the year in the rankings. Don't be surprised if all 3 teams go atleast 3 rounds deep.

[/quote]When and where is this game being played? [/quote] Friday night in East Chambers...99% sure 7:30 tip

EC is going to get a good test in their warm-up game.  San Augustine is a very solid ball club.

If they are going to play it has to be this weekend. I would hate to just flip a coin.  The only way I would flip a coin is to see who gets the "bye" in the mini tournament. 

If this is true that means Sabine Pass, Evadle and Hull-Daisetta are all tied at 5-5 right? So how is that gonna work.
