Lol threads always turn into shouldas,wouldas,& couldas. People give the loser of most games tons of credit. Give the team who won their credit talk about what they did to win the game not who wasn’t there for the other team. It’s the coaches job to prepare who he has on the team now. From my observation Memorial weathered the early storm & when they settled down they did what any team with that type of size is suppose to do they imposed their will. Clover & Lofton had their way the entire game & Memorials guard play which I questioned would be key if they are to have a duplicate season was answered somewhat. Coach Lewis did a great job of not over coaching when his guards had a few turnovers. That is rare in these days as most have zero patience. Hats off to Calihan, Wilson,Conner, Abrams those kids were huge. They kept it simple throw it to the block make layups =win. I thought Memorial played great defense on Silsbee making them make shoot jump shots for an entire game which is hard to do. In the end great win for Memorial , Silsbee will be fine losses happen you will get everyone’s best this year keep your emotions in check FANS & players....
 

Get your parkas out,  Bridge City beat Nederland,  Kountze got blown out by WOS, Silsbee lost by 19, strange results today.

Anybody can be beaten in this game of basketball !!!!!!

PA has been down, but not because of a lack of talent. It's been a lack of participation. Big shout out to Coach Coleman, thank goodness for him. He bought back an attitude and style of play that was in sync with the kids. Hopefully it will continue.

Only if you were my assistant.....Thanks but I could never be a high school coach, they don’t get paid enough to put up with the foolishness from community ,school board,kids ,parents or fellow teachers haahahahaha.....

Although i know what you mean and agree that a result here means very little or nothing in regular season,  i do believe you need to reword your statement.  If fall ball means “absolutely  nothing”, then why would these high school coaches even bother entering their teams.  I think it gives them some goid insight into where there players are individualy as well as how they handle situations as a team.  I for one know Concordia is a team that can give us a game,  but i also saw in that fall game how we can do things to give them trouble.  

C’mon AAW.  Not sure if you’re trolling here but you’re at the front of the pack with the “scrimmages are not games” argument.   And I agree with you in that sentiment.  They’re good for seeing what certain players can do, but not the best indicator for what would happen in a regular season game.  
Good indicator was when Silsbee got beaten by a Westbury Christian team in fall ball, which was a game some of the Tigers BADLY wanted to win.  They didn’t. But I still would have bet on Silsbee to win against the same team had they played during the season.   
Why does silsbee think it’s a slight when people think someone might give them a game?  They are the best team in 4A.  You don’t have to better than Duke.

Fall ball means absolutely nothing when the coaches aren’t coaching. I’ll give you an example the year CL went 43-1 en route to winning state their last loss before the in season loss came to Ozen in the back to school battle at Yates . I coached that game we were up 25 on them ,I put the the bench in and they went 7-11 to cut it to 4, cue starters going back in lollll... Both Silsbee and CL won state that year getting revenge in a fall ball the following year means nothing imo especially when it’s not the same CL team. 

Morton Ranch blows the doors off Dickinson if not for all the subbing . Concordia is just so solid they won’t beat themselves. Memorial is better than some expect , they just need to develop the fresh and he will be very key in how far they go . I thought Yates was surprisingly good I mean yea they lost a lot but the more i watched them the more I liked them.  United has to find some sort of offense structure & be able to make adjustments defensively. You cannot press everyone or just be helter skelter on offense. They have some very good pieces to work with they are extremely long and the coaching has to take advantage of that . I said this about MR and it holds true for United they have too many kids. All of them can’t possibly play top 8-9, trying to play 14 kills rhythm. It’s a 32 minute game no way you can play 14-15 kids.....

I watched same three games.  I would go
1.  Morton Ranch
2. Concordia
3.  Dickinson
4.  Memorial
5.  Yates
6.  United
I thought drop off was significant after Ranch.   Tough to say after that.  I think Dickinson and Concordia would be a great game.   But I know Concordia didn’t play particularly well, and Memorial also spent most of the game with Clover in foul trouble.   When he was in, Murphy tended to float outside.  
Agree completely on the Yates/United game.  United fell into playing Yates basketball and did so sloppily.   I’m sure they will get much better.  That game was hard to watch at times. 

I spoke to a kid who was on the 2015-16 state championship team . I asked him do they recruit he said no they don’t have to when you win like that because when you are an athlete in middle school and you play sports the best ones go to North Shore. He said Jalen Hurts was suppose to go there but his dad was the coach at channelview imagine that. He also said in middle school that they go thru speed & conditioning drillls starting in the 7th grade til the time they graduate & their position is already predetermined . That is where the problem lies in Beaumont most middle school coaching is terrible. HS coaches have to get their feeder schools on board with what they are doing !!!!!!

I don’t think ppl really understand what happens with recruiting . Some think because a kid is good in high school it will translate to college & that’s further from the truth. Devon has high major talent but playing high school ball won’t cut it. There a million kids with his numbers and better.(no knock on him). Will his game translate to the next level we will see coach’s want to win numbers one or they get fired. Character is everything is this game believe that .

Come on now you know I’m not sensitive at all ...lol... also for those that say United is not deserving of the ranking ,”most” of the time they go off who’s returning, summer success and college offers . United has a lot of all district kids coming back. I believe Kasen is the most highly recruited out of west brook or United soooooo what’s the fuss for .
