The best thing I seen from the Cougars is they were all on the same page. Didn't see much of any mistakes. Even though it was Huffman, Crosby looked like they were in mid-season form. I thought we would see a drop off with Coach Mann leaving but offense looked better than it has the last 4 years. And Netherly is a legite QB.

You wish.  Their one's couldn't score on our 2's or 3's.  I'm not really sure how many times Crosby scored but it was plenty.  Crosby didn't even run Netherly.  Grace is back in full form. Thread is quiet because we realize it was just a scrimmage !!!!!  Good luck to Huffman.  You will be fine with schools in your own division.

yep, worried as always, we didn't sale ourselves as being the State Champs last year and  then to lose out in the 2nd round, but yall did

He is 0-0 in passing with 0 tds this year. Can't rest on what you've done in the past.

In 7 on 7????? lol Hey didn't they play WOS in 7 on 7, or a team comprised mainly of WOS kids? How did that turn out?

Needs to get his timing down. Everyone says he will have problems adjusting to faster defenses, well imo he's having issues adjusting to his fast receivers.
He threw two interceptions that weren't necessarily his fault. Threw a long td pass to Barnes, but it was under thrown a little.. Against a faster defender that could have been picked off or knocked down.
Hopefully he'll get his timing and deep ball down, and he should be alright 

I'll bet you the kid hasn't been hit in the entirety of his high school football career. To assume he is "plug and play" is a bad assumption. I will continue to state for clarity.....I hope you are right.

Killing it at Legacy and in 7 on 7 doesn't quite prove his ability to play at a high level vs WOS. Like I have already stated, I hope he does great. Truth is, he has never seen the type of game speed he will see in a few weeks. If it takes him a while to adjust, it will hurt Silsbee significantly.

Does your Dogs use roids? 

D1 offers does not = a D1 QB.
I will be very interested to see Jones compete against a higher level of competition than he saw at Legacy. I hope he is fantastic, but I am a bit concerned about how he will translate to big boy football. We shall see.

D1 QB? That's questionable. I'd like to see him play against real competition before giving him that distinction.

Man.......y'all both got me fired up for football season. Is it week 0 yet ?

3A.
 
 
As for as recruited back to his home, not sure about that one. He's from there from what I was told, him and Tyler. 

Scatright.....
You'll be back.  lol.
You are never out of a topic.

This post sums up exactly how I see it. I grew up in Evadale and went to school there, so no reason or me to bash it. The competition for the majority of the season just isn't the same as a bigger school. Basketball is a little different to a certain extent because you don't need as many kids to be at that level. However I don't believe you would ever see a 2A school amass talent like Silsbee currently has. With baseball, a small school can beat a big school on any given night with a pitcher that dominates. However, you will not see the pitching night in and night out that a district such as the Silsbee, WOS, BC district. Then Football is even harder because of the amount of kids required to play. First off most small school kids have to play both ways. That by itself is a huge hit to the level of play. Then as Craig said, there just aren't as many kids that play on a high level like bigger schools. With all that said, I believe he will be fine. He has already exposed himself to that level of competition in 4A and this will just be 1 year. I do not believe he will get better during games this year though. I do hope he pushes them over the top though. I have no idea how good they are as I do not follow them anymore. But adding a football state championship to go along with the basketball and baseball would be pretty cool.

From a neutral stand point as far a Mackey is concerned......my kid did the same thing for much different reasons....for those reasons...it was a good move .......otherwise a big mistake. I know I'll get bashed for this but facts are facts.......academics are lacking and the competition just isn't there. Ultimately moved back to Silsbee her senior year. (and before any other dumb comments are made defending Evadale) 1) My kid is a DI honor student athlete (3 times state...two at Evadale one at Silsbee) 2) There are great people in Evadale, wouldn't change those friendships for anything. 3) Evadale (the district/the 2A class) has some athletes as good as anywhere in the state...just not near as many....as a competitor the better kids just aren't challenged every single play, every single week.
We did the whole get in the community thing...went to football games...blah blah blah....it just ain't the same...quite boring actually!

My Mackey opinion - He will be just fine, he will certainly enjoy being a HUGE fish in a TINY pond...He (and his parents) have their reasons and that's good enough. Wish him the best!
 

Surely you didn't think I'd let you guys go through the season without me.  Too many people to aggravate. 

If he is a competitor, he should want to compete against the best. Running past 2A cornerbacks will get old quickly.

Yes they do share,been invited=me/BG & we were treated w/sausage wrap & beverage & a good time.Met some fans on a more personal level.I was a bit jealous when told the Booster Club purchases for it's purpose,when @Dayt we couldn't raise 1/10th of the amt Ned Boosters paid out for ath equip.Kudos to every hard working Booster Club in Setx coverage area,people that give back their communities.

We're saying the same things. I'm saying he IS a competitor, which is why he won't get the same satisfaction competing against Sabine Pass rather than WOS. He's going to have to play a lot of games before he gets a taste of anything nearly like Canadian.

Obviously some hurt feelings with the coaching change and subsequent coaching changes. Mackey will probably regret this decision at some point. There will be a Friday night when he's suiting to play the mighty Sabine Pass Sharks, while his Silsbee teammates are matching up with WOS, and he will feel the sting of a really bad decision.

Talking about it and living it are two different things. It is my opinion that he will regret this decision.

Seems like a big move when your already into a week of practice. 4A to 2A is a big jump. Playing WOS and Jasper to playing Sabine Pass and West Hardin??? 3500 people in the stands to 200? Knowing everyone in your class to being the new kid your senior year? 2A unranked basketball from 4A top 2? Aggie I'm sure is close to the situation and will enlighten us.
