[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1380542" timestamp="1361986977"] I think 21-3A runner up will have a great shot of making regional tourney next year. C'mon DV, put your money where that big mouth is. ;) ;D [/quote] Maybe in your old age, you have forgotten that Yates returns Swift AND JC Washington next year along with the PG JoJo Anderson....It will be much of the same next year in region 3-3A... 8)

[/quote] Stevenash, my comment had NOTHING to do with RACE! No one cares about golf and swimming anyway... ::)

I am certain that JEFFERSON county had regional runs to rival that during the PA Lincoln days...Heck, Ozen had a regional tourney appearance from 2001-2005, missed it in 06', and back in 2007...If I am not mistaken Lincoln had regional runs from 1981-1991, (but Bmt Westbrook went to regionals in 91 and 92 so that gap was filled) Then again from 1993-1999, and made a final one in 2001...It would be interesting to see which county had the longer regional tourney runs...I KNOW Jeffersonn county holds the edge in consecutive STATE Tournament runs...Interesting stat... ;)

[quote name="bradyb" post="1380296" timestamp="1361939499"] Yates is overrated and will not win state. They are good BUT to be moved down to 3A AND have recruited players.. They are not that impressive. I was impressed with their athleticism but not their basketball team. Hey, but whatever you have to do to win state championships, you do I guess... Great win tonight Yates. I was impressed with your 3 point shooting and your Free throw shooting! Silsbee, maybe we should start recruiting players from other countries and states!? Naww it's ok. We will just play it the right way :). Great season silsbee. Love y'all. [/quote] ::) ::)...FACT #1: They have not lost to a 3A team all season.....FACT#2: SILSBEE will definitely not win a state title! ;).....I think that they just might have a SHOT to win a 3A state title....Conventional wisdom tells me THAT much... ::) ::)

[quote name="homeless" post="1380286" timestamp="1361938946"] will the SE TX folk post anything other than this now? Will they admit that all the folks who told them at realignment time (and ever since) that they were wrong and the Yates realists were right? Will they accept the challenge the Yates fans on here asked if they'd be around to discuss the game 24 hrs later? Will there a be ANY pro-SE TX posts that do not contain the word "IF?" [/quote] ;D ;D ;D You are right about that! They ARE coming!!

If anything, the UIL watered it down so that "inner city" FOOTBALL teams would have a prayer, instead of watching the (ahem) Johnny Suburbs team win state championships after state championship, while the inner city folks could only helplessly sit and watch.
