The Silsbee 8th grade team went to and won the Galena Park North Shore Tourney last weekend.

What???? No negative comments about a 71 point blowout? Or the point spread goes unquestioned? Wow, I guess that only happens if one unnamed school in the area wins that big. Talk about double standards...... ( nothing against Big Sandy. I completely understand the fact that they are trying to maintain a high level of play regardless of competition level. I just feel that ALL schools that do so ought to be respected ss such and not just a couple or few.

Also, the 1979 edition of the Silsbee Tigers were 30-3, ranked #1 in state and lost out for a playoff bid to a Fred Williams coached Hebert team, Coach Williams' 1st year there after leaving Silsbee at the end of the previous season.

Just an observation but it simply amazes me that some teams can win by 100 or more points doing whatever they do but are not cast in a negative light yet others ( in this area or otherwise) are cast in that negative light. There are a few instances even in this area in the last year or two where very little was said about it being done by some and yet others blasted for even a 50 pt win. A 100 pt win is a 100 pt win and no matter how it happens kids will feel the same way about it. As a player I would have wanted to take it having you played your best than being the recipient of charity. Very rarely do I post but for some reason felt the need to do so tonight. Wish all a happy Thanksgiving.

There is a picture of him in the Silsbee '78 yearbook in the opening tap against then 6'6" Dexter Wallace (1st team all state). Teagle is a full foot and a half above Dexter with his hand on the ball. He had mad hops too!

I played against him as a high school senior back in '78. Playoff warm-up game in Silsbee. Silsbee won 82-80 but man that guy could go!

From watching summer basketball Joseph Brooks 6'0" junior Coach Ira Brooks Son and brother played 4 years college basketball might be the best shooter in SETX

Actually, the only state qualification is to be a full time employee of the respective school district. Degree or certification requirement is set by the individual school district. It is my understanding that the head coach of Kimball is not degreed or certified. However, most school districts want to hire someone who can be used in a teaching capacity as well.

With that said, the unfortunate thing is that to win a state title these Silsbee kids have to go to Kountze!! [/quote] Ashton was not a Silsbee kid lol I grew up playing Little Dribblers with him [/quote]OK, I won't give the exact address here but I KNOW it was on 3rd street in SILSBEE that the kid lived on during his 7th - 12th grade school years. But like Dove, I will try and leave that alone because everyone knows why the the kid was denied the ability to play at his "home school" and it had nothing to  do with him transfering for athletic reasons. (Everybody in Kountze and Silsbee that is) :-X

[quote name="ballerforchrist" post="918370" timestamp="1290647789"] Ok, I was at the game last night and I thought that both teams played with a lot of heart and effort. I believe that there were times when Woodville played well and there were times when Silsbee played well. Howeber, I do agree that the game was a little sloppy on both sides, but that is to be expected this early in the season. As for #5 for Woodville, I believe that he is a 4 year starter for Woodville and the kid has a lot of heart. I believe that the Woodville team has a chance to be good if they continue to work hard. On, what was deal with the Woodville Coach never standing up and coaching during the game? Good luck to both teams.  I really enjoyed watching you play last night. [/quote]The Woodville coach was seatbelted by a technical foul called for his players attempting dunks in pre-game in the presence of officials.

It is not a rule even in jr. high. Most jr. high coaches make a decision about either running the clock in the fourth qtr or calling off the press in that qtr with a twenty pt lead as a courtesy based on the talent or ability of the losing team to come back and make it a game. It is a feel developed over time and the losing coach usually requests the running clock with the winning coach usually accepting. (unless the other school was deemed guilty of running up the score in another sport) ;) 

Congrats to the H-F Shorthorns on their 7th Grade A District Championship. Great group of kids. Silsbee also has a great group of 7th graders and will be fun to watch in seasons to come.

[quote name="Txdragon" post="896296" timestamp="1288877757"] The way I see it the worst WO-S can do is tie for championship and win it outright with victory tonight [/quote]Just saw the standings and you are correct.

The 7th grade A game between H-F and Silsbee will decide the 7th Grade crown today. Is the 8th pretty much a lock for WOS?

I would put the trio of '77 QB Jasper Lewis and RB's William Graham and Poochie Arline and the '93 trio of QB Sedrick Spearman, RB's Jay McGuire and Stanley Rhone ahead of those three. te]I second that AAW. I did not get to see McGuire and Rhone, but the duo of Artie Shankle and Derek Shelton was pretty darn good as well. Both D1 running backs.

Add Derek Shelton to the list. Signed and started at SMU as a Freshman before losing job to NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson and Craig James, both blue chip recruits during his Soph season. Transferred to Lamar and finished his playing career there. It was his 100 yd/meter dash record broken by Chris Barnes that had stood for awhile.

Jasper Lewis led his '77-'78 team to the State semi-finals and no other qb has done that in Silsbee.

[quote name="txclaw" post="875067" timestamp="1287113129"] Does anyone know the score of [b]last weeks[/b] game between 7th "A" Orangefield and 7th "A" Silsbee? [/quote] Silsbee 30             Orangefield 12 or 14

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="872076" timestamp="1286807465"] [quote author=speechless link=topic=74271.msg872069#msg872069 date=1286807140] the district makes the district schedule not the coaches "new district" due to realignment so that means a new district schedule [/quote] This is correct. But you would think that since the district consists of the same schools that the district committee could just keep the status quo. ;) [/quote]AAW, Orangefield is the District Chair and has been for quite awhile. Maybe someone over there could shed some light on the change.

You and your family are being prayed for and a speedy recovery is already on the way!
