[quote name="Babyboi_Prettyboi" post="1033462" timestamp="1313019568"] So what is the words I am hearing that Silsbee has two new move-in for the basketball team this upcoming season? [/quote] [Hidden Content]

[quote name="no-look" post="1033408" timestamp="1313013633"] after Christmas in east texas or south eastex area? [/quote] Woodville will be having their tourney the week between Christmas and New Years. East Chambers and PA Memorial will be having tourneys that week as well.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1033393" timestamp="1313009408"] Thats just my opinion. Aggie, IMO I think the BEST Silsbee team when you talk about the starting 5 was the 1994/95 team. All of this is opinion based comments on both sides. [b]You have seen more ball than me in the last 11 years.[/b] When I look at the end of season results, the only teams that could compare would be the 09/10 team and maybe the 06/07 team that lost to HJ in the Reginoal. Those 90's teams use to be bigger, stronger, and played with a fearless swag. [/quote] And I have seen more ball than you in the '80's and '90's as well. That's my point. I saw those Silsbee teams of the 90's, they were very good. But other than that '98 team, there are several of the 2000's teams that can compete with the rest of those '90's teams. BTW, some would say the '79 team was as good as any team that Silsbee has put on the floor. ;)

[quote name="NorthoftheBorder" post="1033326" timestamp="1313002394"] This is now common in that kids transfer high schools like kids transfer colleges.  I thought that there was some UIL rules about this but it probably doesn't matter much anymore.  Hard to enforce.  The future could see HS kids being offered under the table money from a wealthy metro district booster club to transfer.  Hey, it is not out of the realm of possibility in the world we live in.  JMHO! [/quote] I totally understand what you are saying. It's happening everywhere. But, in this particular case, athletics was the last reason for this transfer and I'll leave it at that.

The '98 team was the most talented team that I have ever seen at Silsbee. But that's just one team. Santa, your comment stating that no Silsbee team in the last 11 years could compete with the Silsbee teams of the '80's and 90's, is simply not true.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1033337" timestamp="1313003615"] Yea I thought the same thing.  He would be at a great age to retire. I read where he said he just couldn't stay away when he semi retired the 1st time. I will tell you, he has one heck of a coaching staff. With the 2 new kids in town, I fully expect Silsbee to make a deep run in the playoffs. I have them placing second in district and getting back to the Regionals. [b]I guess Joe is going to teach History once again?[/b] [/quote] Nope. Physical Ed teacher.

[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 name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1033158" timestamp="1312950725"] JV is no problem especially since this isn't about high school athletics ;) [/quote] Yep.

[/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!

[quote name="FBFAN46677" post="1033131" timestamp="1312944590"] [quote author=Honest Abe link=topic=86413.msg1033078#msg1033078 date=1312933853] I think most of us agree with you on that. 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.

[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.
