And Hardin. 

I'm not afraid to say yea we are looking good, the kids are pumped about the season ahead! We have size, speed ,several that can run and catch the ball ! We got depth and our QB is doing a good job along with our defense and offensive line! Very proud of all our Rebel players! I  believe we will take District easy, because I believe in our Rebels!

Rebels look HOT on both sides of the ball! The Rebel fans are excited!!!! How about them Rebels!!!!

We have kids that are big and fast not your typical 2A athletes,  my son being one of them! And I knew as soon as I heard that Mackey was coming to Evadale,  the jokes about playing at 2A were gonna come pouring in on this website, because it's all about 4A & 5A on here. But whatever like I said if you big school people have a off week come watch us you might be surprised! I just think it's rude to down a bunch of kids you know nothing about! 

Evadale 2 A was gonna have a great season this year anyway and this just intensifies it ! We are big and fast ...just so all you big school people that like to make fun of small schools! You may want to come watch instead of assuming! 

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!
 

This is an open forum and people can express whatever opinion they have.  However, 5 pages on a young mans move.  I am quite certain the decision wasn't made solely by him.  I don't know the young man, but wish him nothing but the best.  You only get one senior year, and I hope he has a great one.  

Our District does include Iola, who is consistently in the top ten of 2-A DII.  So he'll see at least one really good team during District.  Also might mention that our Jr QB, Torres, can throw the ball probably further than most 22-5A QB's.  If he and Mackey get their timing down, it'll be a banner year for Evadale and Mackey.
So like acm126 said, if you have an off night, come out and watch these kids play.  Think you'll be pleasantly surprised.  

Are you being serious or funny? NO we do not play 6 man....Really???

My Son was told by someone else but I'm not going to restrict the real world from him. He will be driving in 5 months, he can handle this site if he chooses. He also has other focuses.......girls, jeeps and fishing......

That's right! Once a Rebel always a Rebel!

Probably but probably not making the playoffs going to Lumberton...

They have competitors over in Evadale.

I don't think Silsbee misses much of beat with him leaving. He was a great go to WR. If they are more focused on running the ball, his production would have dropped. Maybe Barnes MA dither will step up. I hope Mackey catches for 2000 yards in Evadale and he has a great senior season.  Meanwhile Silsbee will still smash Bridge City!!! 

If you think the kids don't monitor this site, My 10th grader just called me, told me there was a post about Mackey and asked me to ban anyone who says "Evadale sucks"...........lol

I've personally talked to Kolten and wish him the best he'll be missed but from On the field another player will step up but the bond these kids have built since Kids will Hurt they lost a Brother he hates to leave but if life you have to do what's believed to best for your Future.

We'll im sorry I do take offense, I'm competitive and I take alot pride in our school!

It is a bit ironic is that the same folks that claim that Mackey's scholarship chances are hurt by transferring to a lower classification are the same ones this spring that vehemently dismissed (and rightly so) the notion that Calvin Tyler, Jr. would hurt his chances by doing the same.  In this age of social media, if a kid has talent, it will be recognized and Kolten already has enough on his resume to have been recognized

Who's saying he's not a competitor? So athletes that play on a small school level not competitors? Tell that to the Canadian HC, Bremond HC, Newton HC, Waskom HC. I guess those players should transfer to a 4A or higher level to be a competitor.
