So 6A obviously would come out of the top half of 5A. By doing this, you realize that this will cut down on schools in each classification therefore creating more districts that will have to require more travel. There are some district right now who have to travel 6 hours round trip for a district ball game.

Not sure if we tried to recruit them or not. But that's about it. [/quote] Seales signed with OSU and had a Lamar offer. Blueitt signed with UT and committed before his senior season. Shrapps signed with North Texas and Lamar offerred. The guy from Anahuac (Justin Albritton) signed with Texas State and had a long standing offer from Lamar. As for as LB's, have you guys seen the guys we signed? Pretty impressive if you ask me! [/quote] You sure about Seales? My sources say no Lamar coach has been on the Memorial campus for a very long time. No player from Memorial was offered, word was LU was frightened they would not qualify, didn't want to waste their time. The fact is, none of this will be proven good or bad until about 3-4 years from now.

The Jasper/Silsbee game is just flat out tradition!! Don't mess with Tradition! >:(

If they MUST play the seeding game, I would much rather it be played at the Montagne than Ford Park.

Jasper and Silsbee have been playing each other since 1922, 74 games total, every year since 1948, 64 games straight! That series will come to a halt as the two teams could not work out a schedule for the next two years with the new realignment. This is a crying shame!!! Really hate to see this happen. Never experienced a Silsbee football season without playing Jasper. :'(

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1170708" timestamp="1328212922"] He has 30 kids out of what 65-70 that are from SE Texas.  I guess that is not enough.

But, of those 30, would you like to have replaced any with some of the other locals that LU did not recruit?

That's just down right stupid. UIL forcing a school to travel over 6 hours round trip on a yellow dog for a district football game. They may have to do it twice in same year if the Sharks have to play Mt. Enterprise and Tenaha on the road. That's terrible!!! But yet, let's make the schools watch their budget. ::)

The difference from top to bottom in 3A last realignment was 559. This realignment the difference is 554. Hardly any change at all concerning that number.

Numbers for classification in last realignment: 2010-2011 & 2011 & 2012 5A  2065 & up 4A  990 to 2064 3A  430 to 989 2A  200 to 429 1A  199 & below       99.9 & below

[quote name="stevenash" post="1170694" timestamp="1328212585"] Well, I will certainly look for an opportunity to reciprocate.  The main obstacle for either team is an undefeated and obviously very good Waco LaVega who, I belive is #1 in the state.  Should either team wind up playing LaVega in Huntsville, [b]I have to believe that having played each other will be the best preparation.[/b]  Does that mean I am right?  Heck no.  It's just my opinion which I am obviously never hesitant to offer. ;D [/quote] Which they have already done twice. ;)

The problem I am seeing for this possible seeding game(if it happens) is that there looks to be two different local playoff previews with one run and officiated by the local TASO Chapter, the other by the local UIL Chapter. This will be a conflict with these two schools. I really do not see the point in them asking UIL to send them an officiating crew for this unnecessary game when they could flip for it. Flip for seeding and let each school play where and who they want to play for the warmup game.

I hope the next time these two play is in Huntsville. Really see no point in playing the seeding game. Play other teams for warmup purposes. These two see enough of each other already.

[Hidden Content] Quote from Silsbee Coach Joe Sigler: “I think we’ll be OK — I feel pretty strongly about that,” Silsbee coach Joe Sigler said. ”Now we know what we have, the speculation is over. It is what it is. As far as Silsbee is concerned, we’re still going to be competitive. Now we know what’s ahead of us.

I hate traveling to Livingston a couple times a year, so I can only imagine what those folks over there feel like having to do it every week! Just flat sux! [/quote] I would think they play the same amount of home games as everyone else. [/quote] Livingston has to travel more than all the other 20-4A teams put together. In the two year span, they have to make 7 trips to the Triangle in football, 14 in volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball. Whereas the other 20-4A schools only make 1 trip in football, 2 in the other four sports. Livingston gets hosed in this deal, not the other 20-4A schools.

[quote name="bball2011" post="1170525" timestamp="1328207820"] No more EC and Kountze games  :(...I don't like the EC district... [/quote] I don't like it either. Not only did East Chambers, Anahuac and Hardin get moved to another district, they were also moved to another region, Region IV. Here is the basketball district that these three will play in: Anahuac East Chambers Hardin Houston YES Prep East Houston YES Prep N. Central Houston YES Prep Southeast Houston YES Prep Southwest YES Prep Gulfton

Yates turned in 1000 for their enrollment. Missed staying in 4A by 5 students (bottom for 4A was 1005). Yates is the largest 3A in the state with the 1000 enrollment. Stephenville and Kaufman are 2nd and 3rd with 999 and 998. Just did not think their numbers would have dropped over 200 and also didn't think Wise and admins would allow them to drop (ego).

Back to being a North SETXSports fan, Huntington and Jasper play Friday night in Huntington.  Both have one district loss (Huntington to Center, Jasper to Huntington) and this game has potential to be huge for the 18-3A title.  Neither team is in the top 5 in the state, but this is a big game for a couple of good SETX teams. Congrats to HJ...I'm glad y'all split, that gives the South SETXsports fans the fuel to talk about who really is the better team. [/quote] About as long as YOU putting these two schools in the title.  ::) [/quote] LMAO!!! Good one, Tim.

[quote name="STiger85" post="1170070" timestamp="1328154869"] Get these numbers. Out of the seventeen games these two teams have played in 21-3A Silsbee has won 10 with HJ winning 7. Silsbee avgerage point in winning is 9.1, HJ is 9.0.  [b]These two teams where in the same 4A district a while back, I wonder what the scores were from that time?[/b] [/quote] Let's just say, they were good for Silsbee, not so good for HJ. ;) Silsbee won all 4 district games those two years by very comfortable margins.
