[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1033331" timestamp="1313003124"] Central? Central was 5A for the longest. Besides one or two seasons I don't recall Central ever losing to the same team or making a deep run. Take HJ for instance. What did they do in 4A? If that same team had stayed in 3A was , they may have done better. There is no way Silsbee has the same talent that it use to be. There have been teams that have had 3-4 All State players alone. [b]There isn't one team from the 00's that could hang with a Silsbee team from the 90's or 80's[/b]. Com"on son! There have been a few Tiger teams that went to state but those 90's teams that played against all of the top 4A and 5A teams across the state were cold as ice! [/quote] Santa, you are totally wrong on this one. I think it's safe to say that I have watched more Silsbee basketball in my lifetime than you have, and I know of a few Tiger teams in the 2000's that could play with those in the 80's and 90's. THAT'S A FACT!!!

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1033227" timestamp="1312989029"] I'm not sure what this means long term for coach Brooks. I don't think Silsbee will be able to keep him once he is certified. I guess this was a give and take for the long term. [/quote] To be quite honest with you, I don't expect Sigler to be at Silsbee more than 4-5 years. Just don't see him coaching past the age of 60.

Get to post my first one of the season! SILSBEE= DOMINATION!!!!  ;D

[/quote] It's my understanding that it was a mutual decision, and that is coming from some Clarksville people.

Congrats and welcome back Coach Sigler. Here's hoping the second time around is a rewarding one for Tiger Basketball!

I don't know the entire situation here, but I don't believe they are moving for athletic purposes. If so, then the truth will come out, and his kids will suffer because of it. Let's hope that's not the reason for the move/transfer.  :) [/quote] They will have to fill out a previous athletic particiation form, and HF will have to sign off on it.  Then the District executive committe will determine the eligibility.  IF it can be proven that the move is for athletic purposes then the players will be ruled ineligible.  But I think they usually get to play JV or 9th grade ball during the year of ineligibility. [/quote] Well, in this case both these two young men are more than likely to play sub-varsity anyways, with one of them being a soph. and the other a freshman.

[quote name="tamulonghorn" post="1033039" timestamp="1312925269"] 1a to 3a does not = more money automatically sigler and clarksville agreed to part ways [/quote] That's correct on both parts. But in this case, it is more money.

Sigler wanting higher salary for those last few years of his employment to reflect on his retirement. I think this will not be a very long term for Sigler. I expect it to be no more than 4-5 years. Just my opinion.

[quote name="studd88" post="1033024" timestamp="1312920953"] yes,I thought it was west brook. a receiver...Redd. [/quote] Yes, and this is also a loss for the Mustang basketball team.

[quote name="east texas bb" post="1033020" timestamp="1312919781"] Is he the same Joe Sigler that coaches at Strake Jesuit about 12 years ago? [/quote] No, he was at Clarksville this past season, before that coached at Livingston.

[quote name="Mr. Buddy Garrity" post="1032966" timestamp="1312915759"] I thought hamburger depot was a sponsor? [/quote] Hamburger Depot does not sponsor any Silsbee broadcasts, just our preview shows and OT show.

[quote name="tamulonghorn" post="1033006" timestamp="1312917243"] put any amount you want on it [/quote] Yep, it is expected that Joe Sigler, former Silsbee basketball coach, will be named the new head coach.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1032938" timestamp="1312910604"] Never mind.  Must have went over  your head. [/quote] No, I think you misunderstood that poster's comments. He was making some sarcastic remarks in regards to the questions about these two kids moving for supposedly "athletic" reasons. It had nothing to do with comparing HJ to Ozen.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1032867" timestamp="1312902354"] He's a H-J fan. [/quote] What does that have to do with those kids going to Ozen?

Just got word from Chad: The Examiner High School Football Preview will hit the news stands on Thursday, Aug. 25th. That is the Thursday of Week 0, just like last year.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1032900" timestamp="1312905211"] I know for a fact that there are 2 active West Brook contacts on here that will keep score.  If not, I know several West Brook contacts and I can report those scores right along with Central scores.  I also know that there is at least [b]2 Memorial contacts that I'm sure that will help[/b]. [/quote] As long as that Memorial contact isn't "scooter". He probably would post the wrong score just to keep PAM on the winning side. ;)

[quote name="Lt.

This was suppose to have happened last Tuesday night with the naming of Kyle Mackey as interim head coach. I am still expecting the same result, but who knows. I will be there tonight and will post the announcement. [/quote]AAW, what do you think all the drama over this is about? [/quote] I honestly feel that the board wants to name a head coach and not an interim. There is a coach or two that are still in the running. It was just so late in the year, plus two of the potential head guys decided to stay where they are at, which pushed the decision back some. Had Coach Brooks been certified, this would all be mute. It is just bad timing for them to emergency certify after just laying off probationary coaches. They will have to make the decision tonight.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1032881" timestamp="1312903695"] Doesn't Chad usually wait until the season is a bit closer before he publishes that? [/quote] I believe so. Last year, it came out on the Thursday of week 0.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1032873" timestamp="1312902751"] I thought I was going to have to ring bells do smoke signals to relay the message to your, man.  [b](being a smart butt this morning.[/b]   :D :D [/quote] That's every morning. ;D Just getting you primed up for our weekly preview shows. ;)

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1032865" timestamp="1312902118"] AAW, what about the special HS. Football edition like the one last year with Sloan from Memorial on the cover? [/quote] Oh, you didn't ask that. ;) I'll give Chad a call and find out.
