Wasn't implying that they did, particularly the certain one you mentioned.
Just saying when you are at the top of your class academically and have the ability that Hefner has, schools will come a calling.

I am also the Tigers need to understand they will get everyone's best shot and have to be up for the challenge. Also seen Braylon today on crutches said he hurt foot and it was swollen he said he didn't play on Sunday because of the foot. Silsbee escaped the injury bug last year.

I know that Silsbee is in the Cypress tournament this year so maybe they meet one another.

Wasn't about who is or isn't on the list ,absolutely nothing to do with ranking these players. I'm saying the news stations mainly sports and sports writers at these papers have to do better  when covering basketball . They do it half way imo, if you don't know then ask hell Aggies he would be the perfect guy to provide info on these kids . Seems like some of them barley want to be there covering the games anyways. Our kids deserve at least some home town love .Can't just show up to the big games. I remember when the BE had EVERY game in the paper with stats after a tues & fri games ,tournaments all that. 

I think Landon Tyler just needs to be on the court more, and I'm sure he will be this coming season. I honestly think he would be one of the best if not the best player on most teams in our district. 

For one you don't know me for two I have a Dam.. son on team so don't tell me I'm being negative the comment wasn't for you so stay in your lane......

Good luck getting positive feedback on this they only wanna talk about the negatives when it comes to silsbee.

Very well deserved.  He has done a masterful job managing what he has.  His job is a lot harder than the casual observer realizes.  The way he has handled his kids the last two years has been remarkable to me.  Congrats to Coach Sig!

I know there are many topics and news stories about the Silsbee Tiger basketball team......I just wanted to post my own "topic" on this forum because of how the Silsbee folks have been behind WOS 112% during the 3 year run at the football state championships. And also the 2015 baseball state championship. We might bicker and trash talk during the season but we're all SETX'ns. Silsbee just brought us ANOTHER State Championship to our little corner of Texas. Yeah, it might be  the Tigers first SC, but hopefully won't be the last. From a diehard Mustang.........GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!

I have a lot of respect for those Yates kids.  They showed a lot of grit all week long.  They were challenged by determined teams on Monday and on Friday and they came through.  And yesterday in the 3rd quarter they were down by 18 and a hair's breadth from being blown out by the best team in the state but they dug deep and rallied and made a game of it.  And in doing so they made the Tigers also have to dig deep themselves to pull out the win.  I think this kind of win helped the Tigers.  A worthy opponent.
I was proud to give the Lions a standing ovation as they were recognized as Region 3 runners up.  

The UIL needs to add a shot clock.  That's not happening between now and Friday at 3:00pm.  Argyle is a wily team.  They are disciplined, fundamentally strong, they shoot well, probably hit a good percentage of their free throws, efficient.  They are always in the top ten, girls and boys, and not just in basketball.  Academics, band they do it all in Argyle.  Model school, model school district.  Don't take them lightly. 
Things are good in Silsbee too.  Beat D Lincoln this year.  Leave the 'D" off, that's the only Lincoln around in Texas, that I know of.  Lincoln is out of it now, but that is significant, to me anyway.  Same for beating Yates.  You have to savor victories like that.  Also the fact that Silsbee made it to the final game last year.  In the words of James Cleveland ... come too far from where.. started from.
Nobody told me that the road would be easy,..
Well, it is Sunday, somebodie's sabbath.  Let's do this.

Bush is just so scary good. Crazy to imagine him in 3 years as a senior. Jones played a great tournament. Then there is Bruce. Can't say enough about him. He sparks this team defensively and steps up with big baskets and assist.  Leader of the team in my opinion. 

And let's not forget Newton would have already been the starting PG on 90 percent of the teams in the state.   Which goes back to the ridiculous depth Silsbee has.  For a school their size, no one would believe it until they see it.  

I could, but some folks on here would get offended and call me redundant.
Let's just say that in recent years (last 5-6 years) the "rivalry" is a bit one-sided.

Congrats on a hard fought win! Sounds like the Hawks played with a lot of heart. 

Look I'd love to see either one make it. But the fact of the matter is this district is down this year. Kountze isn't near what they usually are. Do they still work hard and do their best ? Yes they do. But look from a talent standpoint it's just not the same. This area as a whole besides Silsbee is that strong . Yeah Buna has a pretty decent team this year and they are "top 15". You know how many times Kountze has been top 10.. let alone top 5 ranked and haven't made it past regionals ? Several.

No

Gosh I said I was done: The young man has gotten his punishment and he is wearing it like a man, can we just put this behind us now and let the kid be a kid?
 

I think these young men need to ask them selves when does it stop, If they are playing college ball and a fellow player is suspended are they going to sit out as well, how about NBA? 
Let this young man serve his punishment and then put it behind him. As I have said the process is rolling and he is on his way to being done. I, and I am sure many others will hold no ill will to him and hope that this will build his character. I did foolish things in my time and served my penance and I know it built my character.
Sitting out games, protesting, and continuing things even like this thread is non-constructive and continues to divide our district and this area.  
Good luck Mr. McCain I said in an earlier thread I was a big fan of yours but I was no longer. That was jumping the gun and a foolish thing to say on my part. I am a big fan since I coached against you in little league football, and will continue to be as long as your good character shines through and I am sure it will.  
this will be my last post on the issue
 

The pep rally is for supporting the team during this time. It's also about lifting a young man up after making a terrible decision.
The rally is not about making excuses.

You're absolutely correct Dove and I have a son on Silsbee and I told the officer last night when the parents from LCM went on floor I went in parent mode he will always be my cub to protect. The actions these young men make we have to question but not give up on them teach them and make them own up to mistakes and be better I always say when the air goes out the ball what can you do next

You sound stupid down 14 and running out of gas before the half with two minutes left and you call that a game it was gonna be 30 piece easily but I can understand why you happy that would have been better then the 60 piece you got earlier in season somethings people say but if you feel like that was gonna be a game you fooling yourself
