Question...How does Nederland/PNG get FRONT PAGE of the PORT ARTHUR NEWS, and PORT ARTHUR MEMORIAL gets page 3? ??? ???

[quote name="vp32" post="1167737" timestamp="1327857532"] Nederland will go undefeated because they have the best coach in SETX history. [/quote] The best without a championship? I will compromise with THAT one... ;)....Like Roy Williams used to be before he went to UNC...Like Jim Boheim, pre Carmelo Anthony... ;D ;D [quote author=baddog link=topic=95032.msg1167725#msg1167725 date=1327854886] [quote author=Dick Vitale link=topic=95032.msg1167707#msg1167707 date=1327850737] BUT after NEXT week's trips through Beaumont......

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1167708" timestamp="1327850846"] The '98 - '99 Central Jaguars... 8) (for Dickie V.  ;D ;D) [/quote] ;D That 99 Central squad would be a part of my "ALL HORSESHOE TEAM" Awards......THE LUCKIEST TEAM IN SE TEXAS!!! ;D ;D 8)....A 60 footer to go to Austin? Oh yeah, somebody had their rabbit feet in their pockets!! ;)

[/quote] Don't forget that it was only 2 years ago that Humble and Galv Ball (I know they stink this year) were 5A. Although Yates and LaMarque are moving down a class, there easily could be another good 5A program moving down to 4A as well. [/quote] Yeah, there will be a few from HISD...Madison (my alma mater ;)), Bellaire, and Westside are the only three HISD schools that still have true 5A numbers.

[/quote] Now the BEAST will get to run through the southEAST (Texas) to get to state in region 3-3A... 8) 8)...I know, I tried to make that rhyme!! ;D

[quote name="PoppaBearstarr" post="1167629" timestamp="1327811002"] Only time will tell... I believe that either of these teams will be just fine [/quote] I am sure you guys and Silsbee will BOTH be fine... ;) ...You guys put your jock straps on just like they do...BACKWARDS! LOL ;D....No, really, I sincerely think it will make Conference 3A STRONGER, but the solid programs will find a way to always get it done. Hey PoppaBear, I need VIP seating for Tuesday nights big game....got any pull in Sour Lake, Texas?? 8)

Yeah, especially since this new re-alignment, adding the Houston area schools to Class 3A, there will be no more region 3 titles or trips to the state tourney for either of these teams for a good while.... ::) ::)

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1167521" timestamp="1327789386"] What if these teams met for one game?  Who do you think would win? 1. 1988 PA Lincoln Bees vs [b]2001 Ozen Panthers [/b] 2. [b]1991 HJ Hawks[/b] vs 2003 Kountze Lions 3. [b]1995 PA Lincoln Bees[/b] vs 1981 Hebert Panthers 4. 1970 Kountze Lions vs [b]2005 Kountze Lions[/b] 5 [b]1968 Kirbyville Wildcats[/b] vs 2001 Evadale Rebels 6. [b]1985 Silsbee Tigers[/b] vs 1995 Silsbee Tigers [/quote] 1. 2001 Ozen Panthers - Too much depth, too much Perk 2. 1991 HJ Hawks - Way too big for that Kountze team, could score with the best of them 3. 1995 PA Lincoln Bees - Too much Stevie Wonder (Jackson) for the Panthers here...team was unbeaten with Jackson in uniform that season. 4. 1968 Kirbyville Wildcats - Before my time, but going with the old school on this one! 5. 1985 Silsbee Tigers - Easy one...That 95 Silsbee team was solid, with Bush and Co., but the 85 squad had a Mickey D's All American nominee that was the real deal in Darrel MacArthur...going old skool again! ;)

I will be there around the end of the school day! Hang out at Dairy Queen for a few, then get ready for the rumble in the country!! ;D

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1167453" timestamp="1327768167"] LaMarque's basketball record this season: 3-22 ::) [/quote] Yeah they really fell off bad in hoops after going to the state tourney last year...They are still solid in football though, right? What is the talk in Silsbee about this possibly happening next year? I mean, it can't be something people are looking forward to..

Central next week on the road, then Ozen, right? 2!!!!!!! ;D

I don't operate like that...intimidation? No...I am all about conflict resolution. I sincerely hope to see you in Sour Lake next week..maybe if you meet me, you wouldn't take my posts wrong...just maybe...See, humility was not always my strong suit...its become my trademark now...  8)

WHAT?  :o

The 4A football teams are happy to see them go and the 3A basketball teams are shaking in their boots!  ;D FEAR THE RE-ALIGNMENT!!!!  8)

It never fails....if you really just HATE me that much....just say it...I did NOTHING but post about coming to the HJ/Silsbee game and you attempt to turn it into a psychiatric session on coaching and insecurity... :o.....I hope to see you at the game next week...perhaps we can discuss it over a hot dog and a Dr. Pepper....I am seriously not being a jerk here...

Houston Yates would beat PNG 124-55... ;D.....20-4A just ain't what it used to be....  ::) :P.....Don't get sensitive Bulldog fans, I am only pulling your chain.....good win Nederland... 8)

Actually the pun was directed at our conversation yesterday about learning from others....nothing more...YOU ARE INCORRECT in your ASSumption.

HJ contingent.....any of you guys think that Charlie B. in Austin will attempt to "protect" his former school and place the Houston schools that are dropping to 3A to Region 4?  8)

Won't miss this one!  8)...I may get there around 3:30, hit up ole DQ, then secure my floor seat right next to the HJ bench....may learn a thing or two sitting that close to greatness..... ;)

Nope. Shai Fields.
