Last year Tony Wagner’s Estacado Matadors were 34-4 state champions. The return of four starters including all-state talents Clarence Willard and Kevin Wagner make them favorites to rule Region I and repeat. Danny Nix at Burkburnett has three starters including an all region pick from a 29-6 regional semi-finalist. Kennedale coach Doug Groff also returns an all-region selection from a 25-7 area finalist. They and everyone else hope to catch Estacado on an off day. In Region III Cleveland returns four three year starters including all-state talent 6’6 Cedric Reed. Coach Roderick Broussard hopes to improve on last year’s 28-5 regional quarterfinalist year. Hardin-Jefferson coach Todd Sutherland has three starters, five lettermen and players on a 23-5 JV team to take the next step for a 35-5 regional finalist. But, Travis Williams 30-5 Silsbee squad represented region III last year and he returns '6"4 D.C. Stallworth, an all-state selection now 4 year starter, '6"3 Prentice Lane 3 year starter, starting PG Kelton Gaines and nine players that made the trip to Austin. The Tigers will always be in the hunt. Two years ago Dallas Madison won the 3A state championship and last year they were runner up. Damion Mobley lost four starters from that 29-9 unit but has plenty of talent returning including eight letter winners. John King at Argyle returns all five starters including an allregion selection for the 24-10 area champ. Watch out for Lindale where three starters are back. Scott Albritton’s Eagles were 22-12 area finalists in class 4A and can’t be underestimated. Region II looks to be the toughest. West Oso is usually picked to win Region IV but someone else keeps getting in the way. Arnold Flores will build around all-state Raymond Robinson to make this the year of the Bears. The 32-4 squad last year was eliminated in the regional tournament. Liberty Hill hopes to be the team that knocks off the Bears this year. Barry Boren’s team makes the move from region I where the Panthers were 30-5 area finalists. They welcome back four all-district players and a 24-4 JV adds depth. Don’t forget to include Ike Thorton’s S.A. Sam Houston team. They were a 19-13 area finalist that lost only one senior.

Silsbee will be an up tempo type team this year, better guard play. They have some shooters. Probably not on the scale of Walters and Byars from a couple of years ago, but the two Barrett twins along with the PG Gaines can knock down the three. Lane and Stallworth will attack the basket as always.

Silsbee and Huffman are playing at Lamar next Thursday night.

Jamal Charles is so much better than Ford it ain't even funny.

First of all Soulja, Newton lost to Anahuac last week, not East Chambers (EC lost to Buna last week) Soulja and his small school knowledge, Geez...... ::) Joey, you cannot pick Evadale, they are not in Region III. They are in Region IV.

"They says they's big shrimps in these Viet Nam's waters"

Sgt Reyes has Soulja figured out on those small school predictions. Just pick opposite of Soulja and you are a winner.

Central/PNG predictions? To quote Clubber Lang in Rocky III when asked his predictions on the fight, "Predictions? PAIN!!!!!!"

Joey is a wimp not going to Livingston and broadcasting that game.

Silsbee will sleep through a win over Hamshire-Fannett.

What team from this area [b]WILL[/b] make it out of Region III?

I GOT A JOB!!!!!! WHOPPPEEEEEE!!!!! I will be the next head coach at Huntsville Alpha Omega.

[quote name="kville68" post="895878" timestamp="1288827206"] What do you think Fords chances are of breaking Beans all time rushing record this week against Center? [/quote] He needs 220 yards to break it. I say first game of playoffs.

Was told after the interview that it was disciplinary reasons as to why Heard and Ogletree did not play in the first half.

Nac had to win by 8 points, not Jacksonville.

Soulja, if Livingston's defense is so terrible, then why did Central only score 28 points against the Lions in an overtime game.

Ozen the best 1-8 team in the state.

Here's my look for Soulja: ::)

Can't hear Robert as usual. Adjust his mic.

Hearing Stallworth in Baytown.

I want Soulja to breakdown the small school playoff scenarios, 2A-Private. Also, need Soulja to give us who he thinks will advance in the playoffs the deepest out of these districts: 10-2A DI 10-2A DII 11-1A DI 14-1A DII Also, could Soulja tell us who will be the district champs out of those 4 districts?

On a privately owned messageboard, you don't have freedom of speech. There are rules and regulations and board policies that dictate how one can post on this messageboard. It's fairly simple, read the rules. Always cracks me up when someone pulls that 1st Amendment stuff. ::)

WOS will finish 3rd.

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="894856" timestamp="1288723535"] I see. Still think coach wise will be reloading not rebuilding. Also can't wait to see Ball in the nederland tourney. Hope we play them. Should be a good test to see how good we are. [/quote] Silsbee is in the Nederland tourney as well. I'll be there broadcasting some of those tournament games.

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="894840" timestamp="1288722482"] how far will Yates get this year? After being national champs they aren't getting any respect IMO. [/quote] They basically graduated their whole team. Plus, not having the ineligible player sets them back as well. Galveston Ball and Lamarque are the top dogs in Region III.
