Both rankings have been updated and posted up top in pinned threads

15-0 Concordia Lutheran, #2 in this week's TABC TAPPS 6A rankings, will have three games this week starting with a game today against St. Stephens (Austin), then tomorrow against TAPPS 6A defending state champ Prestonwood followed by their game against UIL 4A defending state champ Silsbee on Wednesday. For my Tigers sake, let's hope they are tired.

From RCSsports: More breaking news! On Saturday evening, Brazosport head coach phoned to inform me their football team (who hadn't made the playoffs in 10 years) not only earned a spot into the post season, but won Saturday afternoon to advance into the second round. This limits his squad to only 7 players in uniform. This is the main reason Brazosport coach did NOT schedule any basketball games during the first week of the season. Well, those 7 players representing Brazosport opened their season this past Saturday against Episcopal, and proceeded to lose by nearly 50 (yes, fifty). Plus, two players suffered minor injuries including leading scorer and rebounder Hunter Quick. This prompted coach to make the decision to contact me about the possibility of finding a replacement team (with less than a week before tip off). Piece of cake... At the same time, another local team had just improved to 15-0 on the season. That team just happened to be the 2017 Super 16 Extravaganza Champs and was more than deserving of a spot in this prestigious event. That prompted me to contact the coaching staff of Concordia Lutheran and extend an invite to take Brazosport's place and play against Silsbee HS (the defending 4A state champs). They accepted! Meanwhile, out of respect to Silsbee, I also contacted their head coach to let him know what was transpiring. Ironically, Silsbee has yet to play their first game of the season and they have 7 basketball players still with the football team, currently in the playoffs as well. "We need to play, and we will with what we got", stated Coach Joe Sigler. Actually this matchup is very very tasty because it could be the toughest test of the season for Concordia who will face another defending state champion on Tuesday afternoon (vs Prestonwood Academy @ St Pius HS). This means Concordia has Prestonwood and Silsbee on back to back days on neutral sites. Plus, Concordia's leading scorer, Pierce Hellums 6'2 sg 2019 (MVP of the Super 16 Extravaganza) will get to "Put Up or Shut Up" against highly touted shooting guard, Jordyn Adams 6'4 sg 2019. I really like this matchup! The truth will certainly be told this week... see you guys on Wednesday.

wrong

That's who told me the game time last night at Texan Drive.

Game time is 7pm.

They would have to take a considerable pay cut to coach high school.

THIS!!! TxHoops, drop the mic.

White and Taylor

Wasn't just talking about this year.

You're right. Adams and Bush missed that scrimmage

Ok, what is the point?

I honestly thought with the numbers and talent, after Memorial dropped down they would not lose a single district game and none of the games would be remotely close. I was wrong

Uh, PAM scrimmaged Silsbee just a week or so ago at North Shore. Score was 33-17 PAM. Varsity coaches were coaching. Now, Silsbee was without Bush and the football players.

SETXsports will be broadcasting East Chambers football for the remainder of the playoffs. We are looking for broadcast sponsors for this coming area round game against Teague and future playoff games. If you are interested or know of a business that would be interested, please contact Mitchell Cook at 409-489-6948 or contact me here or call me at 409-429-8348. We would like to have the business finalized by Wednesday if possible. Thanks and GO BUCS!!

SETXsports will broadcast this game.

A full strength Silsbee, not the current Silsbee. And at full strength, it would be close.

I was told who the replacement is and it's a major upgrade.

Go watch them. Draw your own conclusions. I will see them and Hefner play this Monday against LC-M. Will see Ned several times this season, not just against "your" big 3.

yes like Rockwall beating Woodlands

Everyone can have an off game, particularly early in season when coaches are working on other things. Points is not all that makes a player.

Please, if you know or have heard who Silsbee's opponent will be, do not post it here till the announcement is made Monday. Want to allow Jim Hicks and his site the opportunity to announce the opponent. Thank you
