Congrats Coach Nobles and Chester on the upset win and clinching a playoff spot!

Leggett 42
Chester 48
Final
 

I think everyone would agree Joubert is a good coach.  Yet from 2014 through 2017, Whitmire had a winning record against Kountze and that was during the Arnold, Harper, Stanford era when Kountze basketball was at a really good place (not the apex of Lion basketball but certainly toward the top).  So I would, in fact, argue Whitmire did more with less.  And that is no slight on Wilson.  He was also a really good hire. But to try and downplay what Whitmire did at Buna shows either sour grapes or an extreme lack of knowledge of the game of basketball (or both).  

Just for the matter of accuracy, it wasn't Vidor who pushed Jasper to OT in that tourney game. Vidor had a 25 point lead at one time in that game and led the entire game right up to the final 45 seconds. Jasper is the one that sent the game to overtime.
Vidor really had no business losing that game. I will say they have probably digressed the most of all the teams in the district from the first of the season.

Will be a tough task but they can still get in. 
 
I think running off whitmire was the biggest mistake they could have ever made for that basketball program.

I heard from someone who has a son on the team that the kids think the assistant coaches do better than the head coach.  At first I thought these kids just don't want to be coached hard, but then I remembered we've heard this story out of Lumberton before.
Same parent told me that the head coach has a bunch of user names on some message board and posts about himself.  I said no way on that one!

Coach, did you go to this game?  Or are you still quarantined?  Hope you're feeling better.

That makes the clock run faster?

Proud to see #12 get first team recognition in football and basketball for his Senior season. Do you guys think they will have any all-district or all-whatever games this year to mix the kids up and watch them play in a showcase game? I’d love to see him play with some studs, he’s really a great role player, defender and facilitator that was trying to carry the load. Hopefully COVID didn’t cancel all that, either way it was a fun season. Even though our team didn’t perform as well as they could have and took too long to get it together, I enjoyed it. So much so that you’ll probably see me lurking around the Vidor games next season and providing some commentary for the SETX people who like to keep up with the Pirates.

Am I wrong to think it's kind of tacky that the moment Silsbee lost tonight (and I mean not more than three minutes afterwards) schools in their district starting posting the all district teams?
Lumberton was the first (not more than 3 minutes after it went final).
Just saying.

People keep asking this.....yet the Falcons keep winning.  Isn't it about time we admit that Huffman might be pretty good?

Been a while since you seen Silsbee play basketball, huh 😒
 
22-4A put quite a hurting on 21-4A this playoff round. Only Huffman Hargrave managed to survive.
 

I’m sure you would like to give the population thing a rest.  Just like the 21 year old likes to shave before he goes to school the 12 year olds.  
 
I think this BC team has much to be proud of.  They are as good a team as I remember them having in a long, long time.  So while they aren’t on a Yates’ standard and don’t need 3 rows of chairs to complete a 27 player bench, I wouldn’t call them average.  I would call them a good group of young men who play extremely well together.  And a team that just achieved a major win for their program. 

Average compared to whom?  Yates?  Then I would agree.  But that is a senior-laden group who play very well together.  Can they compete with the big bad Lions?   Likely no.  But they also draw from a population base of 8k compared to 2.3 million.  That’s right, you have roughly 287 times the population base of Bridge City from which to recruit.  I understand it has been a down year recruiting for Coach Wise but your student body of athletes is still one any coach down here would salivate for.  
 
So when you denigrate a team by calling it average, just remember you are the 21 year old playing in the park with middle schoolers.  Congratulations I guess??

They are also Falcons.
Coach Wilson definitely showing his skills again this year!

They score more points than those teams.

Just FYI, from Vidor perspective, nothing happened at the end of this game to be disrespectful or anything like that.  We played til the buzzer and pressed til the end to try to stay alive in the game.  Someone messed up a responsibility and he got a breakaway dunk/layup.  I couldn't care less if he scored it or dribbled it back up top and ran the clock out.  Part of the game.

We didn't beat Ozen with Perkins.  The next year, we beat them 3 times.  We did lose a 2 or 4 point game on the road at Ozen with Perkins where we hit either 17 or 19 3's.

Vidor wins 47-45

No dog in this fight but United has six kids more athletic on the basketball court than Hefner.  Lighting must be an issue in Ned's gym.
