[quote name="ST413" post="1030326" timestamp="1312224432"] Two good players at this height could be huge for the Tigers but it all depends on who the coach to is and how well all the kids adapt to that coach and his style. [/quote] Whoever the coach will be will have to wait till football season is over to really get to see the team. This year, at least 85% of the varsity basketball team will play football, including the transfers. Of the top 12 players on varsity, 10 will be playing football.

[quote name="sleepy" post="1030319" timestamp="1312222732"] Not at all.  Have a lot of good friends over there in Silsbee.  [b]I am simply saying that sometimes things are not as good as they sound.  That is it.[/b] [/quote] I totally agree.

:-X ;) ;D

[quote name="stevenash" post="1030110" timestamp="1312169217"] Based on their ability to bring in multiple all star players, I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff Capel takes the reigns in Tigerland. [/quote] No ability necessary. These just "fell into our laps". Just so fortunate. ;D

Very nice segment. Cornell and Larry did great!

[quote name="team first" post="1030106" timestamp="1312168595"] Can't wait to see how silsbee maneuver an uncertified coach into a head coaching position. This should be good [/quote] Who said the next head coach will not be certified?

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1030103" timestamp="1312168044"] I would tread lightly!!!!! [/quote] Why?

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1030095" timestamp="1312167281"] Real question is "who is gonna coach the transfers?" [/quote] A non "wishy washy" type. ;D

Nice story.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1030081" timestamp="1312166192"] Rich? [/quote] Figure of speech. I know we impoverished folks here in Silsbee cannot stack up to those "enlightened" citizens of Sour Lake. ;D

Isn't this 3 straight years that Jasper High school has been rated "Unacceptable" and now 4 of the last 6 years that WOS High has been rated "Unacceptable"?

'6"5 junior from New Orleans '6"4 junior from Port Arthur From watching that Silsbee team at the summer tourney, that was all they were lacking, a good solid post player. Looks like they have two now. ;D [/quote] How nice that must be - HJ will have their hands full to compete with WOS for the final playoff spot behind Silsbee & HF.  [/quote] I disagree. I see 21-3A like this: 1. HJ 2. Silsbee 3. WOS

[quote name="stevenash" post="1029988" timestamp="1312156390"] This is probably a foolish question but should we assume he/they are all star calibre players and have good grades? [/quote] It's my understanding.... yes and yes. ;)

[quote name="speechless" post="1029985" timestamp="1312155155"] lock it up for silsbee [/quote] Now if we can just get "that" coach. ;)

[quote name="Twig" post="1029971" timestamp="1312152496"] doesn't matter when you transfer if you don't live in the district if you do it after the first 5 days of school then you have to sit 15 days before you can compete in varsity competition if you do it before the first 5 days of school then you don't have to sit [b] of course all of it will be pending on the district executive committees approval[/b] [/quote] Of course. ;) Spoken like a true rival coach. ;D

It will be the Hawks and Tigers doing battle for the district title. WOS gets 3rd as usual.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1029961" timestamp="1312150715"] They will have to play JV won't they? Haven't been in Silsbee district long enough. [/quote] Nope. Only if you transfer within the school year. If you transfer before school starts, you are eligible.

Silsbee advanced to the state semifinals losing to eventual state champion Dickinson 12-6.
