[quote name="stevenash" post="1157424" timestamp="1326227079"] I didnt realize the Sherman Tourney had multiple brackets.  If I am understanding you correctly, Pleasant Grove played in the 3-a bracket while Silsbee played in the 5a-4a bracket? [/quote] Yes, that is correct. Sherman ISD had four tourney's in one. A 5A-4A boys and girls and a 3A-1A boys and girls. 32 teams, 8 in each bracket. Silsbee asked to play in the 5A-4A bracket. Silsbee was the only 3A team in that bracket (others were 5A or 4A). The 3A-1A bracket had 3A's Pleasant Grove, Pittsburg, and Van Alystine along with other 2A and 1A teams.

[quote name="stevenash" post="1157403" timestamp="1326225420"] I think Pleasant Grove is undefeated as well [/quote] I have seen Pleasant Grove play 3 times (Sherman Tourney, 3A-1A bracket), not that impressed with them. IMO, HJ and Silsbee would handle them fairly easy. There were folks at the Sherman tourney who stated the same after finding out that Silsbee was actually a 3A team (even though they played in the 5A-4A bracket). Pleasant Grove is okay, but not on HJ, LaVega, Sealy, Silsbee or even Navasota's level.

Also: Lamar's Mike James Earns Third Player of the Week Award this Season Lamar guard Mike James was named the Southland Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday. It is the third time he has earned the honor in the last four weeks. James averaged 26.0 points in helping the Cardinals go undefeated in the opening weekend for Southland Conference action. He scored a season-high 31 points, including four three pointers, in Lamar's 74-58 victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi last Wednesday. The senior from Portland, Ore., also tallied 21 points in a 103-67 win over Central Arkansas on Saturday, raising his scoring average to a team-leading 16.3 points per game. In the two games, James made 19 of his 29 shots from the floor, including 6 of 7 from 3-point range. He also made 8 of 9 free throws and added seven steals and five assists.

Posted at the top of the forum in a sticky. Locals in the polls this week: 3A #1 Hardin-Jefferson #7 Silsbee #19 Coldspring 2A #25 Kountze 1A DI #12 Big Sandy TAPPS small school #12 Beaumont Legacy Christian

I saw Hondo Webb play at last years state tourney (2A Melissa). Good player, great floor presence, excellent passer, but not quick. Webb is a different type of player (PG) than what Lamar has had in the past.

[quote name="stevenash" post="1156929" timestamp="1326149482"] [b]I don't think it matters very much who is better individually since this is a contest pitting one unit against another.  If the individual stuff mattered that much, Dallas wouldnt have beaten Miami last year for the NBA championship.[/b]  On a side note though, if the contest were to be some type of one on one competition with height not mattering, I would put my money on Devonte Johnson.  He shoots the three as well as anybody HJ has had,( in most instances) can jump quite well for his height and if he wants to go to the basket, he will definitely get there. [/quote] I agree with what I put in bold. Do not know enough about said player to comment on that part.

I believe that Nederland has the better coaching staff but Central has the better team. My prediction: Central      61 Nederland  58 [/quote] Now, what difference does it make as to who is the better coach if you're picking Central to win? ::) [/quote] Personally, I think if Nederland wins this game it will be because of their better coaching staff.

[quote name="Ochocinco" post="1156921" timestamp="1326148468"] [quote author=setxslam link=topic=93757.msg1156909#msg1156909 date=1326147041] I vote for way better. [/quote]HJ has 3 players that's better then Silsbee's best!! [/quote] Disagree. Prudhomme is the best by far, but Elam and Holmes are as good as Bosha and Johnson and I think Gaines is right there with them too.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1156917" timestamp="1326148287"] I know have seen both teams play.  In close games HJ will play 8-9 people.  [b]I only saw Silsbee play 7 people in the game against Evadale until the final minute of each quarter.[/b]  Both teams very well coached, and each team has star players. [/quote] Silsbee is 8-9 deep. Starters: Gaines, Wilson, Elam, Holmes and Dobbins Key players off bench: Jackson, Reed, Brydson and Barnes Remember, Elam did not start or play the first half against Evadale. I have seen enough of Silsbee games to claim they play 8-9 on a regular basis, including close games.

[/quote]Plus, Hightower been winning since their football players are through playing now. :D [/quote] Ya Dove, every team Nederland has beaten this year gets better later in the season for this reason or that reason!  ::) It just kills you to give them credit, doesn't it?  ??? Oh well, I find it amusing!  ;D ;D Oh ya, Nederland wins this one regardless if Central suits out 5 players or 15. Last I checked, only 5 play at one time.  8) [/quote] You are delusional if you are thinking the bench will not play a vital part in this game for both teams. Central is much better off playing with their full complement of players than being short handed like they were before. Will it result in a win like last time for the Jaguars? That remains to be seen.

Just 103 hours till blast off!!

[quote name="ST413" post="1156673" timestamp="1326126074"] What was the last year of that rivalry,  I can remember being there but was young enough not to remember much more.  I do remember hearing something about fights among fans after the game. [/quote] Hebert's last year was 1982, my senior year. We split in district that year, each winning at home. Both teams were ranked #1 and #2 in state in 4A all year. Played the district playoff game in the Beaumont Civic Center (there was no Montagne at the time). Winner went to the playoffs (back then only the district champion went to the playoffs). Hebert won 60-56 and went on to win the state championship that year. The next year, Silsbee made it to the state tourney ('83).

I absolutely love the HJ/Silsbee games. They are always fantastic, great atmosphere!! But, having been to both HJ/Silsbee and Beaumont Hebert/Silsbee games(played in those games), I would have to say the Hebert/Silsbee games were a little more intense and exciting. Hard to imagine, but those Hebert games were very very heated, to say the least.

[quote name="show me the money" post="1156503" timestamp="1326077127"] Thanks is there any loss of eligibility if my child is in sports? [/quote] UIL could still rule that the move is for athletic reasons. Your child may not be eligible for varsity sports. Will just depend on their ruling.
