Play as many sports as possible.(as many sports as one chooses, loves, likes and cares to play) I think "specialization" is way overrated. You only get a certain amount of time to play high school sports. Take advantage and enjoy it as much as you can. If you are good enough at one sport to garner a scholarship to play at the college level, playing other sports will not effect that outcome. Coach Graham, head baseball coach at national power Rice University, has been quoted as saying he recruits multi sport athletes over "just baseball guys". He prefers the athlete, not the "special kid". ;) I always hate to hear about coaches in a particular sport try to "encourage"  ::) kids to just play "their"  ;) sport. For the most part, majority of high school coaches encourage their athletes to play as many sports as they want.

They are a scary team that is not flashy, but is capable of catching the Rangers again... With that said, [b]Holland will throw a gem tonight!!![/b] [/quote] Are these the numbers of a gem?

I have been told that even if Yates enrollment in next realignment keeps them in Class 3A (which will be renamed 4A), Yates will opt up a classification. Regardless, I like Silsbee's chances with any team come the years of '16-'19. ;)

[/quote] Wonder how West Brook would feel about this if he is.............  ;D [/quote] From what I know, neither are a finalists. Not too sure the two even applied.

[quote name="crittergitter" post="1404209" timestamp="1368471924"] i heard it was going to be in nederland.... [/quote] All 3 games will be played at Vidor HS.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1404259" timestamp="1368479629"] Elster Whitmore 44pts vs [b]Pa Memorial[/b] back in 1998. Went nuts to open the season for Silsbee. [/quote] Hmmmmm.... Port Arthur Memorial was not a school in 1998. ::)

[quote name="ShlyKBMT" post="1404233" timestamp="1368475148"] In 3A beware of the usuals Hudson and Carthage. They're baaaaaaack. [/quote] Silsbee has seen Hudson twice this season. BC has played Carthage as well. Neither is unbeatable. I like Silsbee and BC's chances against these two teams.

[quote name="ShlyKBMT" post="1404250" timestamp="1368477219"] Avi just tweeted out Silsbee/Orangefield will be at Vidor. [/quote] Yep, Vidor it is.

It seems the small schools got their business taken care of. Just need the big boys (4A Barbers Hill and Nederland) to get with the program. ;) ;D

[quote name="Stevenash" post="1404142" timestamp="1368461073"] Then there ought to be a state title somewhere in there ( assuming, of course, that those with "special player acquisition programs" have a more difficult time with their acquisitions) [/quote] Let's hope so. I know Coach Sigler said he was sticking around to coach that 6th grade group. But you make a great point about those schools with "special player acquisition programs" .  ;)

[quote name="Stevenash" post="1404124" timestamp="1368459353"] I had the opportunity to watch the Silsbee Little Dribblers Senior team (7th and 8th graders, I believe) play at the National Tourney in Canton over the weekend.  I cant recall seeing a group that was so dominant over everyone they played against.  If those kids  stay together and continue to progress, I believe it will be hard for anyone to beat them by the time they are playing varsity.  I also cannot imagine anyone from any school in the Golden Triangle( same age level, of course) being able to compete effectively against them. [/quote] That middle school group is very good. But I hear the 6th grade group is better. ;)
