It is great to be supportive and confident but let's be real.....we have a very young team in the skill positions. Next year could go either way depending on how those young guys step up.

I like watching Coop's swing from -10 to +10 and then back again. He is just one big controversy. I don't even need to post and I get hit. ;D

Barbed wire matches.

It is a scrimmage that means absolutely nothing. You use these games to highlight weaknesses and to make needed adjustments. I remember last year certain "powerhouse" scrimmage teams getting pummelled in district.

From a homer standpoint, Jeremy Johnson at qb for Silsbee. I imagine as an upcoming soph he will struggle early but he has some physical tools.

If Johnson steps up and is the qb and the Tigers do in fact go spread, Harris could be a monster.

Who was originally supposed to be Mr. Perfect before it was given to Curt Hennig?

I agree. Silsbee should struggle early but improve as the season progresses. A lot of very talented new kids starting. If they make it this year they should be set for several years to come. I believe the "spread" may be making an appearance this year.

1. WB 2. WOS 3. Central 4. Memorial 5. Newton 6. Dayton 7. PNG 8. Kirbyville 9. Nederland 10. Ozen

He was head coach at Kountze around 2000/2001 before "leaving" for CC.

Usually sub varsity including m.s. have the same district schedules/teams. I guess I just do not like the idea of a major overhaul. There are a lot more sports affected than just football when considering major changes.

This is dealing with more than just football right? I can't imagine some of these schools having to drive a few hours on a school night for some sports. I keep thinking of the jv and middle school games.

Luke Williams and Butch Miller were better known as who before their stint in the WWF?

So do we get a 1A, 2A,3A,4A single champion? If so these supposed "smaller therefore deemed weaker :" schools will still get beat come playoff time. So the "better/more talented" team in a bigger district won't make the playoffs and a smaller school will basically take the spot? Am I missing something here? WOS was a small 4A football and still made it, as was Newton when 3A, and Kirbyville in 3A. The supposed small HJ just won state in bball. If your community has the athletes, it has the athletes. We are in an unfortunate area. If many of the schools in this area were out west or up in the panhandle they would be a dominant force. We have a bloodbath in the greater Houston area due to the talent levels. Face value unless I'm not understanding this all here I do not like it. I would wager we would have 2 seperate 3A districts next year under the current system.

So how would our area look?

hmmmm.......I am going to guess Buna, Kountze, or Woodville having to go back to 3A.

Arkansas has lost a lot of its luster over the past decade. They were once a major force in bball.

If anyone has to question Permian, all that needs to be said is MOJO. People think the immediate era is all there is but back 20 or so years when you thought Texas football you thought Permian.

Obviously you can't read too well. > Nobody said anyone deserves this sort of treatment. Point out where that was even stated. I merely said that for all of the negativety being displayed towards Gillispie by the Aggie fans, it was not viewed the same by most Aggies a few years ago. Loyalty by coaches for the most part is a thing of the past. If the right money is shown, Brown, Stoops, Carroll, etc will pack up their bags and leave.

Looking at Bobcat's list.....has there ever been a time when the northern schools (Jasper, Silsbee)have not been aligned with the western schools? I remember about 10 years ago the UIL placed Jasper and Silsbee with New Caney. That was crazy to expect Jasper to have that far of a drive. Three hours each way on a school night is excessive. I would also think they would keep the district even in terms of members.

First and foremost i'm a fan of all Texas scools, but it looks like the shoe is on the other foot here. I remember a certain current football coach at Aggieland abruptly leaving his previous school without talking to his players as well. I do not remember the negativity displayed towards him by the Aggie faithful at that time. We all know what they say about Karma.

Two greatest games I remember for my Silsbee Tigers....... Silsbee vs Nederland '93 It was a see-saw battle with Silsbee's Jay McGuire getting 424 rushing yards plus a ton in special teams. Silsbee won. Silsbee vs Jasper '89 Jasper came in #2 in the state and left with a loss.

Beaumont Colony begins the Kountze district on hwy 69. Going south from there doesn't leave too much prime commercial land available. Hwy 96 to village creek (Silsbee's district) is almost filled. Unless I have missed a whole area, there is not much for any industry to start. That is not to say they do not have a little room for growth on some of their subdivisions. What is crazy is less than a decade ago all you pretty much had on hwy 69 from Kountze south was a couple gas stations and the Lumberton school.

I would think the Kirbyville kid would be about the most seasoned at this point.
