I sure wish Sark would realize you can kick chip shot FGs. They add up.

You can’t make this stuff up

LCM, Jasper, WOS, now Bridge City. And one particular school is the constant. Maybe they need a little less “smoke” there.

Those horsemen can’t be confined to only one A, Ashly.

Impossible even if they knew it was coming.

There are also not an insignificant amount of Lumberton kids in private schools as well. Not sure how many but I know 2 or 3 families and I don’t know a ton of Lumberton people in general. I do agree that the growth is probably delayed because the families who move there with young children will let them go to LISD. The ones who moved when their kids were teenagers weren’t going to make them lose their Beaumont private school classmates. Next cycle should be interesting.

Always tough to compare a 2 to a 4 but I would agree its fairly close, especially for HS players. I tend to prefer to put my stock in the guy who starts with the ball in his hands at all levels. And while Chris will end up being a high major kid, he won't have as wide a choice as Jared had. Does that mean much come playoff time when they are playing for championships? Not really. I expect Silsbee's road will include BTW along the way again, and hopefully this time with a better result. Still going to be interesting to see what the roster will look like.

In 22-3A, I tend to agree with your top 3 (and maybe 4). But why is Buna so low? Do they really not have much this year?

I assumed it was Crockett because he was talking about how wild it is that they are ranked. I was actually impressed with where they ranked Kountze because it showed they actually did some homework past last season’s results. They should be highest ranked team in district and maybe only the ones with EC.

That is strange. Did McDermott transfer? He’s easily the second best player in the region behind Jared and honestly BTW will be better on some nights than last year with addition by subtraction (I.e., those nights when Lewis couldn’t hit the broad side of the barn - he was going to put up his 20 shots whether he was on or not).

Oh wow. Yeah that’s pretty bad.

These things have always been based more on the previous season than the upcoming one for some reason. I would give the coaches a hard time but the college coaches are just as bad or worse.

Really was. And Brooks is way more talented that I realized. Happy for him, especially after patiently waiting his turn behind Bijan and Roschon. Most kids in this day and age would have hit the portal after the first year.

It should because that’s probably my favorite play of his and I’m god awful at picking games. I also really liked his Penn State game.

Nice try. “Us?” would be curiosity. “Us???” is you thought you knew something. 😂🤣

My wife and her whole family graduated from there. My office is in the district and I pay taxes there. So I have more connections to the stangs than you do to your handle, “Aggies”AreWe. Any more questions I can help you with sport?

They had a chance to beat Silsbee and PNG, among others, in spite of the train wrecks in head sets. Give this one up buddy. When they give Silsbee a run in one of the basketball games this year (as they normally do), is that due to Silsbee having a lack of talent or Sig being outcoached? But you are right about WOS being in their down time. It’s just not lack of talent that put them there. Speaking of, since it’s just a talent deficiency, we will happily allow you guys to have an alum back on the tiger sideline after you so graciously loaned him to us.

Not your best take This would be the correct one.

I agree with Whs about how well they will be coached and will be very competitive. And the sophomore kid has a chance to be one of the better players in the district. But they may be a couple of years away from being win two or three playoff games good. The 8th grade group should be even better than last year’s senior class, which was probably the best overall group I’ve seen at OF in the last 20ish years.

The irony is their best shot was years later

Heck, for some reason I was thinking they were twins. I just remember you giving pops the business 😂

Ahhh. Wasn’t sure and couldn’t remember. Yeah he can’t count if he never played varsity basketball there.

He truly was. You two are cut from the same ilk. I didn’t always agree with him like I don’t always agree with you. But I respect(ed) the hell out of both of you. I miss and think of him all the time.

Does Jordan Hunter count?

Heck I thought you were at least 60. Primarily because I often relate to your posts which I assumed made you an “old head” (as my kids like to say) like me.
