Congrats to my son on his next step in life !!!!!!  North Lake College #GoBlazers (Dallas,Tx) 

Nick will be headed to Uvalde to play for Southwest Texas Junior College next year. We are very excited for him to have the chance to play college ball. He worked really hard this year and kept us in some games with the new 3A teams. Nick is joining 7 soccer players that will be playing college ball, giving Bob Hope School our first college signing class of 8!

Gage Carreon was only given one chance to play and that was in Baytown with less than a minute left in the game . He went 54 yards with 4 carries to score. Unfortunately they never put him back in . I spoke my opinion on this forum and Faircloth pulled him aside and told him that if he thought he would see any playing time he would be disappointed. He did that in front of the whole football team . All Gage said was ‘’Yes Sir ‘’ .He even pulled him off on special teams because they never saw him tackle . I mean when you can Bench 320 Squat 600 and Deadlift 640 all that @ 165lbs …I would at least see what you got ..  He stood on the sidelines and supported his team. Every time they called a timeout he went in the huddle with hopes of playing but that moment never came.  Gage had to find a sport that no one could sub in for him . He Broke two records and Regionals finishing in first place and Winning second at State . Only thing he learned at PNG was failure ! No matter how many times the coaches kicked him when he was down he got back up . .  I’m proud of him !
 
 Crazy thing is that the kid on the bench is the only one with a STATE Championship !  

Unfortunately, like with many things in life, perception can become reality.  Personally, I have seen other schools (even within the district) whose players play way more dirty than Silsbee.  In fact, in the games I've seen, Silsbee has played good, aggressive defense (which I love to see) but has otherwise conducted themselves appropriately.  I can't say the same with every school in the district.  However, deservedly or not, Silsbee has gotten the reputation that doesn't jive with my personal observations.  And obviously I haven't seen a tenth of the games AAW has.  But when you have that rep, and then you have an incident like what happened, you sometimes faced heightened consequences.  My hope is that Tigers take heed to the warning and show exemplary behavior in the coming season(s).  Because they have a chance to do more special things and will be fun to watch on their quest.

Congrats to Nederland PG Darrell Jones on committing to John Brown University. With Zach English graduating this year, JBU signs another Nederland Grad!!

To all my Nederland friends and family best of luck I hope whatever the case ends up being I hope it is the best for our brothers and sisters across the tracks.  Good Luck

There is no excuse or place for fighting on the basketball court! #3 has accepted responsibility for his actions and willing or not he will accept what the punishment will be. I for one will be more involved in helping him become a better person than what his recent actions have portrayed him as. As much as I and the city of silsbee wants him and the team to make history we want him to be the best person he can be first. Win or lose I bleed maroon and white but there are things that are bigger than basketball, this is definitely one of them.

WOS has had to contend with this the last two years in football and overcame that disadvantage.  Silsbee is in better stead imo because Coach Sigler was able to put together a nondistrict schedule that has to be the most demanding in 4A.  Cornel would like to do the same but always has trouble finding willing opponents.  
The question is will Silsbee be tested before San Antonio.  As I anticipated, Yates beat North Forest on Friday (by about 10).  To me, the Tigers will have to play REALLY bad to lose before SA with the possible exception of Yates.  If Yates plays their best possible game, Silsbee will have to earn it.
 The huge advantage the Tigers have is obviously their tremendous depth.  They have so many kids who can step up on any particular night.  As such, they can often afford for a McCain, or Adams, or Harris to have an off night.  Yates doesn't have that luxury.  To be able to challenge Silsbee, Seriale and Hughes need to have their A+ game on that night. 

I think it is a little off topic, but definitely has room for discussion.  I'm an old guy who played almost 30 yrs ago, but I know talent when I see it. I haven't seen a collection of talent like this  in at least 20 yrs, but the fact remains talent alone doesn't get it done. I'm not on here trying to get under anyone's skin, You guys have every right to believe whatever it is you want to about your team. Those kids will have  SETX as a whole rooting for them and any other team as we did for WOS in football.  ST413, the real season starts soon, the depth along with the experience from last year may be the X-Factor to finally solve the puzzle. We shall find out soon enough. Regardless of the outcome, we will always support our SETX kids. Just fun to  create a few waves for the Silsbee Yacht.  Your guys are battle tested, nothing to worry about.  See you in SA???                       

To put it plain and simple, to attack a man's integrity and try to damage his career for the sheer fact you disagree with the way he disciplines his players and runs his team is childish, retaliatory, and sums up why his players need the discipline in the first place. To coach in todays world means you really love the profession and the kids! Cuz it dang sure ain't the money!

Barnes will be there tomorrow. He was invited by Texas A&M to attend their bowl game in Houston tonight.
Also, being that Kansas St. has offered, it's a two for one.

I'm still enjoying the victory last night. Honestly haven't asked but I'll find out later. Sitting here trying to make myself believe all of this is real. When these boys were very young we knew they were special. As they got to be 9, 10, and 11 the reality of what we thought was right before our eyes. We said back then that they had 2 State Championships in them. Now we've lost a few of those boys. A couple of them moved to Beaumont and actually one is visiting Yale this weekend to play football. The pride and joy that these boys have given me and a lot of other people is just amazing. I didn't mean to go on a rant about the boys but it's just what's on my mind right now. Can you even imagine? Three State appearance in a row. Not to mention a State appearance in baseball. Thanks for the ride fellas!!!!

That's the goal every year and thus far its a work in progress...Playing a non cupcake schedule and mostly 5A/6A teams/tournaments to get battle tested and mental toughness. Some play a bunch of 3A-4A teams/tournaments to boost their win- loss record  in order to be mentioned in the same conversation of success. Come district play moral victories means almost as much as a win  to some...Maybe one day the UIL will introduce  the sport of Horse Shoes when "Almost" can be considered some sort of a win...22-5A District race will be a heated battle as usual with some very close games...The so called top teams must play their A game every-time or stuff can and will happen...

R U READY PURPLE INDIAN NATION???

we gonna turn RJ loose give him a full workout weather permitting, Make it to the third round and do what we do. Good luck to PAM and Crosby also, WOS AND anyone else I missed!!

The 2 Ports taking on the Forts. 
And Crosby got them a Fort too.

Ha. Please read again. I said after reviewing the 4 playoff games only. So saying 22-5A had a better first round this year. There's a frost on the ground downstairs but it didn't freeze. 
Go Crosby
Go NC, PNG, PAM

It appears the teams from each district were evenly matched.  Lots of good football played by the teams involved.  I can only speak to one game: PN-G v. BH.  After watching BH, they will be a tough out next year.  They played several JRs and SOPHs.  They are building a solid program.  QB, RB, the slot WR, and several kids on defense have some talent.
PN-G...just keep battling...fight to win each play...I love this team's will to win.  And, we should be pretty good next year, too.  Plenty of JRs and SOPHs making plays for the Indians.
Good luck to all of the teams surviving this week.
Go Indians.  Peace.

I'm starting to think 22-5A may go 3-1 this weekend. After PAM's big win and a injury depleted NDN's team winning. Maybe Central can pull it off. I see a PAM/Manvel matchup in a few weeks and dont look for Manvel to blow these guys out. I said it earlier in the year if they get some good QB play then lookout. It sounds like its starting to happen. Teams better look out. Nobody will out athlete them for sure!

Looks like we knocked some sense into y'all last week. Congratulations TITANS!

Big congrats Titans

You pay $5 and it last the whole year if you get it at the beginning of the season. Way I see it, it's kind of a deal since you were probably going to pay $7 to get in.

OK, OK. We got the memo about our field. Turf is on the way...working on the rest. But, our scoreboard is nice and as long as I run it we are always in the game.

Please keep Bobby otherwise known as Liltex in your prayers. He is the biggest high school football fan you will ever meet and could use the best wishes and prayers from the people he has come to know on this forum.
