Coach Mitchell did a great job however the accolades outside of district aren’t considered in this voting.

I don’t have a problem with the coach of the year selection but it’s worth nothing the district had co champions this year and both cubs went 10-2. My pet peeve is the number of selections once again. I know it’s for recognizing the kids but 29 players in a 7 team district is a head scratcher.

^^^^^^ Nuff said !

I agree with everything you just said except the “ maybe SETX player of the year “. He’s the best I’ve seen in SETX this year. Young man is special!!

No comparison to Yates. Gonna be another ugly one

As successful as Argyle , Highland Park and Bridgeport are I would think they would be under a microscope by their DC. I’m sure they also check close on residency requirements. It’s a tragedy when two young lives were destroyed because a group of young men were exploited to play a high school game.

Very informative article on what really happens .

I agree with this 100%. Silsbee took an absolute great player and a very good one and rode them into the regional tournament this season. You gotta tip your cap to that. I felt like last years club underperformed and this years overperformed. The region is definitely down this year.

They make it look effortless

The pressure they put on the ball combined with their length makes them tough

I’m guessing the bus didn’t break down 😂

They better have some length.

I listened at the Kountze vs Woodville game the other night and it sounded like the Freshman from Woodville put that club on his back. I don’t even know his name but was wondering who has seen him play and what the future holds for this young man.

😳 my shocked face 😂

Just looking at next years returners HJ will have Wirth , Porter , Samaha , Sears as returning starters. Kids that got a ton of playing time included Akhtar , Moore , Ogle , White and Martin. They will pick up several off a JV that was very good. The kids that were Sophomores this year did not lose but 2 games as Freshman and can flat out play. I like the Hawks chances . I’m gonna go out on a limb here and bet HJ doesn’t overlook HF next year. I wish the new season started tomorrow but I’ll have to wait.

In most cases I would agree with you wholeheartedly. In region 3 this year Yates bus will have to break down for them not to be in the state tournament if they play like they have been playing.

That’s what made the Silsbee vs HJ seeding game such a crucial matchup. In the grand scheme of things there’s not a lot of difference in getting knocked out in the area round or the regional tournament. There’s no question the 22-4A runner up had a brutal draw in the area round this year. Yates is legit!!

Fair enough

If he’s coaching the team he’s working in two different school districts 🤦‍♂️

Yes sir

Didn’t Ardoin play at Tekoa Academy?

If I’m picking teams to go to battle with Martin from Silsbee is in my top 3 or 4.

I would take a couple of the players you mentioned ahead of McClure but that’s just me.

Lol , I’m pretty new to the game. A guy can’t learn but so much in 63 years in the gym. Half of the “Best backcourt “ was in a boot in the stands last year in Hamshire. Now here’s where I don’t follow you at all, “HJ had more experienced players “. They are all coming back so unless there’s an influx of seniors moving to HF then HJ will still have the most experienced players. Please don’t tell me the guard coming from Tekoa is better than Bush.

Sorry I’m not buying it. A don’t think a group that has had to deal with Bray Bush is gonna fear a transfer guard from Tekoa. Especially one on a team that was 9-19 with some blow out losses to teams that were less than stellar. The best backcourt in that district next year will reside in Sour Lake as will their coach.
