Touche’

Shaq scored that 38 in the semis vs Hearne my senior year of HS.  At that time Cole was 3A (but would be 4A now since 5A was the biggest classification then).  Interestingly, the big guy only scored 19 in the championship game, while Clarksville’s big man Tyrone Washington scored 29 on O’Neal (Washington was “only” 6’6”).  Of course, Shaq did have 26 rebounds in that game.  Clarksville played Cole to the wire that day too. 
 
That was also BJ Tyler’s senior year and he led Lincoln to the 4A title.  Shaq was also a senior, albeit only 17.  He didn’t turn 18 until the end of his freshman season at LSU. 

I just thought looking at the schedule that an outsider looking at the SA schedule would think the two teams who will likely lose are the favorites, since FF and Silsbee have the worst records.  Just goes to show you for elite teams, playing those tough non-district schedules are crucial.  Especially for Silsbee who has a difficult time getting any kind of test in district.  Honestly think the two teams FF and Silsbee beat in the regional finals may be the third and fourth best teams in 4A.

By the way, how many coaches in our coverage area have gone to 4 state tournaments in a row?  We praise certain coaches in this area (and not undeservingly) but some of us act like it’s just making substitutions for Green and Sigler.  Those guys are both no brainer hall of famers who deserve to be at the top of any list you want to make regarding basketball coaches in this area or the state. 

We are living in the Golden Ages of SETX basketball. I dont know a time in history where you've had Silsbee and Beaumont make it to state so often. I think Ozen and Kountze went together a time or 2. Silsbee and United both made it 2 years ago. San Antonio will be packed with families from the 409.

Got word that Kayde himself stated that he should be good to go Friday.

Yeah you will never convince me Central wouldn’t have won it all that year if Toe Toe hadn’t torn his knee up.

1000% agree.
Boutte is in this rarified air. Particularly those Lincoln years.
Green is pretty special in the fact he has taken 4 different teams to the state tourney, winning 3. Four straight regional championships, looking for their 4th straight state title game, puts United at the top of the hill.
Since Sigler came back to Silsbee in 2012, the Tigers know nothing other than being regional favorites. These last 13 seasons under him have been some of the most successful years that any team would want to have. 11 regional tournaments, 10 regional finals, 5 regional championships, 3 state finals, 2 state championships. If the prognosticators are right, Silsbee will play in their 4th state title game in last 9 seasons. (some say they played the title game against FF in 2022, so that would make 5). 
These two coaches resumes are second to none. 
BTW, I love the fact that Silsbee is a part of both of these coaches career. 

I agree

Absolutely 

This game definitely has levels…

Silsbee is 3/13 from FT line

You are so emotional. Sometimes I wonder if you have estrogen flowing through you.

The team had 20 at the half and he finished with 53. It was unreal. Until the last shot in OT idk if he missed since middle of the 4th. I may have missed something, but I think he knocked down 4 3s in the last minute of the 4th.

I know it’s not his money but it makes you wonder why someone is spending about $10 million for a job that pays about $22,000 a year. 

Supposedly the numbers said otherwise.  It is doubtful anyone gets 50% though so likely heading to a runoff.  You would think Covey would get most of Davis’ supporters’ votes.  But will they vote in a runoff?  And apparently Phelan is spending about a million a week right now and can he overcome any deficit by outspending if he is indeed trailing?

C’mon man.  Let me troll EC fans in peace…

I didn't early vote because I haven't studied all of the candidates for ALL seats well enough to make an informed decision. It's hard to cut through all the BS to make an informed decision.

I told someone today if IP had known how much $ was going to be spent on mailers in this election, they could have kept the mill open another year at least.  The money spent on that race is going to end up being staggering.
