And while this Yates version might not be as talented as some others in the past, they have a good shot at getting out of the region.  They knocked down 15 3's today and have size and depth.  It was a good experience for us and we appreciate Coach Wise and company's hospitality.

If you get a chance to play the #1 team in the state, you take it.  Playing these Silsbee teams the last several years showed us where we stood relative to the elite teams in the state and that's an opportunity we didn't want to pass up.  We've also got a home game schedule with Wheatley on January 2.  Really excited/hopeful to play this year!

Really sad to see Coach Barstow go.  He's a great guy that knows the game and coached with passion and ideals.  And definitely a character.  He will be missed.
