[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="819437" timestamp="1279719416"] Remember, Vidor is also bigger than PN-G.  Vidor will also need to miss for PN-G to go D-2... [/quote] Soulja, I think you mean for PNG to go DI, not DII. PNG can go DI if the district plays out like this: PNG Central or Nederland LCM Livingston or Lumberton

I was already contacted about doing the play-by for the 1A Div. I and Div. II games.

[quote name="smitty" post="819418" timestamp="1279716002"] Anything going on with the LC-M head coach?  May have put his foot in his mouth!?  Is LC-M looking for a replacement?  Anyone heard anything???  [/quote] Just what exactly do you mean by "foot in his mouth"?

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="819411" timestamp="1279715015"] Are we doing straight up up picks or are we doing the point spread thing?  [/quote] The point spread pic'ems were only in basketball. These will be straight up picks.

SILSBEE=DOMINATION!!!! ;D

I see that Mr. Berry retired before it was built. Why didn't Butch do the same? ;D

I personally am glad that BISD is getting new buildings for their schools. Been a long time coming. If it is because of him, then kudos to the sup. Good job. But, that doesn't mean he should get his name on a building. I guess I am old school. I always believe those kind of things should be done as a memorial. I know that buildings and stadiums get named by living folks all the time, but those folks usually have bought the naming rights or bought the building. (donations). I know I live outside BISD, I really have no say in this matter. But personally, I thought they should have named the staduim Durley/Smith Memorial Staduim, after Alex Durley and Willie Ray Smith. They could put Butch's name on the natatorium beside the staduim. From an outsider look driving by, the name on the staduim looks self gratifying. But, that's just me.

[/quote] 1) Mom just passed away, but [u][b]I PAY [/b] [/u] bisd taxes. I will say whatever I want to, 85. Period. 2) Wether Mom "lived in BISD or not", she [i]cared[/i] about SP. Duh. 3) You run your mouth constantly, but have the nerve to tell others to "hush mouth"?    >:(    [/quote] Sorry to hear about your mom, but sell the house...... And since you're handling the affairs, I don't see nothing going on in Stowel so again, you have no say.... And just like you, I have an opinion that none of you Butch-haters like but will see as long as I'm not banned... So in conclusion.... Enjoy small and old Bucanneer Stadium The majority of Us in BISD will enjoy and our kids will benefit from the fruits of CBT's labour...... [/quote] FYI, East Chambers got a new stadium a couple of years ago. ;) They also have the best high school gym of any school in the Southeast Texas area, regardless of classification. SFA85, how do you know ECbucfan doesn't live in Beaumont?

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="819089" timestamp="1279582443"] Don't get me wrong.  I much prefer the plan which creates a 6A over the current attempt to divide each class into two different divisions.  But this plan of 4 teams from each district further dilutes the championship.  That means in an eight team district all you have to do to make the playoffs is finish in the top half of the district....in a six team district, 2/3 of the teams will go.....and in a district like 14-1A, they are just playing the district schedule to determine the playoff seedings. [/quote] I wouldn't mind the 6A move, just keep it at 3 teams to qualify for the playoffs.

I have stated numerous times, 4 teams is just too much. The only way to justify 4 teams qualifying for the playoffs would be if those 4 teams come out of at least an 8-10 team district. This 4 out of 5, 4 out of 6, or 4 out of 7 is ridiculous. I even think 4 out of 8 is bad. I wanted it to stay 2 teams, but I have no problems with 3. Going to 4 teams is just another way for the UIL to get more money, plain and simple. It has nothing to do with "the social needs". ::)

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="819087" timestamp="1279581829"] Well, if my math is right from 11-Man 1A-5A 544 teams will make the playoffs (128 in 5A, 128 in 4A, 96 in 3A, 48 in 2A (DI), 48 in 2A (DII), 48 in 1A (DI), 48 in 1A (DII) this year and next. If the 6A plan with 4 teams reaching the playoffs out of each region, 768 teams from 11 Man 1A to 5A will make the playoffs.   Is it the "little league" mentality of everyone getting a trophy?  Not hardly.  [b]The bigger justification can be found in Page 15 of UIL Football Manual under Section 1250 (j) of the "Football" Plan which states, [b]"Fifteen percent of the gross receipts of post-district games shall be paid to the [University Interscholastic] League...."[/b] For that, you can do the math[/b].

[quote name="lhsof23" post="819071" timestamp="1279572223"] there is so much talk about the first place teams (HJ and Silsbee) who do yall think will pull out that last playoff spot??? [/quote] I think it will come down to Bridge City, Hamshire-Fannett, Orangefield and WOS. ;) I give the early nod to WOS.

[quote name="Sloe" post="819043" timestamp="1279558321"] Looks like it might be an interresting season ahead. [/quote] Yes indeed. I was really surprised how well Silsbee played in this tourney. I figured them to be one of the top 4 teams but to win the whole thing with your starting point guard and 2 guard not playing in any of the games, was a surprise to me. I will say this, I believe Silsbee has two of the top 5 players in the area in Stallworth and Lane.

But the gap is closing in on HJ. By 2011-2012 season, the district will see some new changes. Enjoy your last season for awhile. [/quote] Dove, at least for the next two seasons I don't see HF moving into HJ's territory.  As long as we keep our core group in tact, we should be able to battle for district championships with Silsbee with HF on the outside looking in. [/quote][b]HF and WOS [/b] will be opening up the door ;) Time marches fast in sports. [/quote] Let's see, Silsbee's 8th, 9th and JV teams swept both HF and WOS last year. I believe the time will be much slower than you think. ;)

I read it cover to cover, not bad for a first time publication. There were some inaccuracies with some of the info but all in all, a good start. Still think they blew it on their polls. ;)

That was a great segment. Very good job, Grad!! HEY MAW, I WAS ON THE TV!!!! ;D

In a couple of notable pool games played Staurday morning: Silsbee defeated West Brook  by 20 Cleveland defeated Hardin-Jefferson In bracket play: Big surprise was #14 Livingston pulling off the upset wins over #3 LCM and #9 Hardin-Jefferson to reach the semifinals before getting knocked off by eventual champion Silsbee. Cleveland had a good tourney going 3-0 in pool play and reaching the finals, losing just the one game to Silsbee, finishing runner up with an overall record of 6-1. Silsbee wins their 3rd championship of these 4 tournaments played going undefeated. The Tigers were 3-0 (actually 4-0 after defeating PA in a fill in game) in pool play, then winning their 4 bracket games to win the championship and finishing 8-0 for the tourney. Silsbee defeated their opponents by an average margin of 21 points. A great overall performance by the Tigers!

Finally got my hands on yesterday's results. Here they are: After pool play ended in the morning, these are the 16 teams that qualified for single elimination bracket play. They are in order of bracket seeding: #1 Silsbee #2 Cleveland #3 LCM #4 PA Memorial #5 Nederland #6 Ozen #7 Ozen JV #8 Tioga #9 Hardin-Jefferson #10 Kountze #11 Jasper #12 Lumberton #13 West Brook #14 Livingston #15 Anahuac #16 Evadale Bracket play: 1st round #1 Silsbee defeated #16 Evadale #6 Ozen defeated #11 Jasper #14 Livingston defeated #3 LCM #9 HJ defeated #8 Tioga #4 PA defeated #13 West Brook #5 Nederland defeated #12 Lumberton #10 Kountze defeated #7 Ozen JV #2 Cleveland defeated #15 Anahuac Quarterfinals Silsbee defeated Ozen  44-31 Livingston defeated HJ  36-30 PA defeated Nederland  42-34 Cleveland defeated Kountze  50-35 Semifinals Silsbee defeated Livingston  62-32 Cleveland defeated PA Memorial  45-39 Championship Silsbee defeated Cleveland  56-52

When are they going to have Kerry on SportsXtra? Isn't he the guru?
