AggiesAreWe

I have no problem with West Hardin being #1. They are undefeated and ranked very high in their classification. It's just a local poll, not that big of a deal. I think we all know that WH would lose to HJ, WOS, Silsbee, EC, and Kountze.

Look guys, from what I saw last night, HJ is not a great team, no #4 team for sure. They are a good team no doubt, but they are overrated in my book. They had no bench to speak of, Silsbee played 10 last night. They have no inside threat, the big guy is just not that good. Donahoe is very good but not good enough to carry this team deep in the playoffs. Silsbee showed that you can contain him and make the others try to beat you. I really don't see any of our distict teams doing well in the playoffs but I sure would like to be wrong on that.

Looks like you need some too.

Crow anyone?

Silsbee showed they are still a force to be reckoned with in this district. Great win Tigers! There were 4 things that stood out in this game: 1. Free throws, Silsbee made'em, HJ didn't, nuff said. 2. Ryan Donahoe was shut down. Silsbee put William Harper, the Tiger's all everything quarterback, on him and William shut him down. I think Ryan may have had 8 points, but not much more. 3. Big Ahmad Jones had an excellant game inside. He had a double-double and defended very well inside. The Tiger's all-state offensive lineman really used his big frame well down under. 4. The officiating was terrible. Both sides got their share of the bad calls and no calls. I will admit the rough style may have benefitted Silsbee's game more than HJ's. I wasn't too impressed with the Hawks. IMO, they are a bit overrated. I'm not sure they are deserving of a #4 ranking.

The award is for the best offensive and defensive player. Mosely is hands down the best offensive player but the best defensive player is a little more competetive. Earl Thomas is a great player, but you cannot let his offensive numbers help decide on him being awarded the best defensive player. There are several players that had better defensive stats than Earl had.

Neither team can beat Silsbee though.

Definetly Cabo. You couldn't ask for much better. Great fishing, golf, and beaches. I am ready to go back.

Yes, Jones is a senior. He's commited to Oklahoma St.

Ahmad Jones of Silsbee was named first team all state offensive lineman. The '6"3 315 pound Tiger has commited to play for Oklahoma St. Congrats Ahmad. I would like to mention that I thought B.K. Johnson should have been named at least honorable mention. He had 8 int's and several pass breakups. He was a lockdown corner for Silsbee this year.

Missed the bus?? Sounds like that's not all they're missing.

I'll pick Robinson in Div 1 and Hondo in Div 2.

Anybody know the times of the Saturday games?

Who is this player, Coop? What team?

Just wondering who is the tallest player this year. Also, which team has the most height, players '6"4 and taller.

Who is this Bellanger?? And what is so important about intercepting a pass to beat a Buna team? When did intercepting a pass compare to rushing for 2400 yards? Double up?? If this kid did that this year, rush for 4800 yards, then he would have been all over the news, local, state, and national. Congrats on beating Buna, a team that 75% of all area teams would beat anyway.

Also, I saw PAM play a couple of games this past week. If they are the #5 team in 5A, then 5A is very down this year. I was not impressed.

WOS moving up to #2 makes no sense what so ever. They lost to Lumberton and Vidor this past week, 2 teams that Silsbee beat without there football players, Lumberton in a scrimmage, Vidor in the first game of the year. These polls are a joke.

Silsbee WOS HJ I don't think either of these teams will make a deep run in the playoffs though.

According to the KOGT article, Blake Moss is listed as a Senior. But I think you are right, he is a Junior.

By the numbers: Total all district picks Silsbee 20 WOS 19 Kirbyville 11 BC 8 Jasper 3 Orangefield 4 HF 6 HJ 4 returning all district picks for next year WOS 7 Silsbee 5 Kirbyville 5 BC 1 Jasper 0 Orangefield 0 HF 3 HJ 1 Only 2 players made first team offense and defense, MVP Earl Thomas-WOS and Ahmad Jones-Silsbee. 3 players made first team and second team. They are B.K. Johnson-Silsbee 2nd team offense, 1st team defense; Jacoby Franks-WOS 1st team offense, 2nd team defense; and Dominick Rhodes-WOS 2nd team offense, 1st team defense. Congrats to all of the players chosen.

This Thanksgiving I went all out. I had a Big Mac and a Quarter Pounder with cheese, large fry, large Coke, and an apple pie. Oh, I forget, this is 2006, not 1986. That's what I ate for Thanksgiving in College Station on my way to the Aggie-Tsip game.
