Tenaha was short their starting PG who was their 2nd leading scorer. Removed from team due to disciplinary issues.

Maybe. But someone very close to Buna basketball team agrees with me. Bush dad is from Silsbee. All-state basketball player who played for Sigler in the 90's. I know that Bray is a Silsbee kid because he lives in my neighborhood (just around the block). Been living here basically all his life.

If you are speaking of Bush, he is a Silsbee kid. Always has been. Speaking of Buna, their best player is a transfer from Silsbee. Matter of fact, because of a family situation (divorce), word is he will be moving back to Silsbee after this school year.

I would like to know that as well. Buna has received as many as Kountze has over the last few years.

Was thinking about this the other day. One would have to go to the UIL website and look at each archived playoff bracket for each classification over the last 20 years or so to get that answer.

If Shepherd is allowed to move up to 10-4A DI, wonder what non-district games the following teams will drop that have already been scheduled? Huffman Little Cypress-Mauriceville Livingston Lumberton Splendora Vidor

I'll take 22-2A over West Hardin.

700 is a great accomplishment but that does not make him the best in the area. How many state championships does Hoffpauir have?

Here are some key match ups for this Friday night (lines for these games as well): Channelview at Beaumont United (-22) La Porte at Beaumont West Brook (-11) Port Neches-Groves at Barbers Hill (-6) Friendswood at Galveston Ball (-13) Texas City at Crosby (-8) Jasper at Carthage (-7) Livingston at Tarkington (-7) Hamshire-Fannett at Silsbee (-23) Hardin-Jefferson (-17) at West Orange-Stark Diboll (-15) at Newton East Chambers (-21) at Buna Anderson-Shiro at Trinity (-4) Coldspring-Oakhurst (-18) at Hempstead San Augustine at Tenaha (-8) Evadale at Sabine Pass (-5) Hull-Daisetta (-6) at Deweyville Goodrich (-8) at Spurger

Me neither.

From what I was told, some, yes.

That's an understatement. Still think the young man should have left months ago. Sources tell me that he was being led by Yates peeps that he would get eligible. I believe the Yates admins knew that it was pretty impossible for him to get eligible. Now it costs him his senior year.

I wouldn't give up on them yet. They are definitely more like Kountze this year than they were last year.

Kountze is down just one starter who is no longer on the team.

The one glaring fact I saw last night was a player shooting way too many three's. Was 0'fer on about 9 attempts, which some were not even close to being made (3-4 attempts were outside NBA line). IMO, shot Evadale out of the game in 2nd half. Also turned it over 5 times. I thought the Box and 1 on Mosley was a good decision. Kept Evadale in the game. It was only down the stretch where this game was lost. Evadale used their bench much more than West Hardin did. The starting 5 for the Oilers played 95% of this game with only 1 reserve getting more than 2 minutes. Evadale was trying to force some things inside and the two post players are just not that skilled. #2 for Evadale is really their only consistent scoring option. WH did a good job of adjusting their defense in 2nd half to take that threat away. I was impressed with Mosley. Very good player for the Oilers. Definitely warranted the Box and 1 defense that Evadale threw at him.
