Idk might want to stay where you're at lol that classification is not any fun around here with Silsbee, WOS and Jasper bringing good teams year in and year out.

For those that can't make it to Pirate Stadium, Texan Live will be streaming that game on Friday and yours truly will be there to provide the play by play.

Hopeful good news on the WO-S front.  The Mustangs will begin voluntary practices starting Wednesday and school is scheduled to reopen next Monday.

LCM by 7...we will look much better than we did in last week's scrimmage

The wait has felt longer than normal this year. The time is finally upon us to begin, but the season is short and should be appreciated more than ever. Good luck to all the local teams, parents, and fans.
It's with great regret that I probably wont be able to attend WOS vs vidor Thursday night. For those who can, be safe. TX HS FB is a way of life for us. But not bigger than life itself.

That's good news

BC vs LCM Thursday Aug 20 @BC 6:00

Prayers from LCM

Nothing really happened, the UIL medical advisory committee merely passed a motion that a positive student needed clearance from a physician before returning to extracurricular activities including sports.
That is all.

As you have seen, a lot of the more recent previews have been schedules only.  This indicates schools who did not answer our questionnaire.  In fact, of the teams left, only 2 schools, High Island and PN-G, have full previews coming.
Rather than print information that is available elsewhere on the site, I will just post those two previews tomorrow and that will conclude our previews for the year.
My apologies for not being able to provide a more full set of previews this year.

As we start the 2020-2021 season with our football and volleyball players taking to the field and the court tomorrow, we need to realize what we have been given.
We have been given a gift......a gift to play, coach, and follow high school football and volleyball.  While some might think it should be a given, other states have shown, whether you agree or not, that it is not.
By the dialogue on here, that gift is a very precious one, but is also a very fragile one.  A gift that can be destroyed by a single misstep by a player, coach, staff member, member of the player's family or even friends or fellow students. 
We ALL know the protocols...not all of them are pleasant...many don't agree with them.  But if we do not follow them and destroy this gift we have no one to blame but ourselves...no politicians, no doctors, no nothing, just ourselves.
I may be the eternal optimist, but I believe in these kids, these coaches and these communities to do what is needed to guide this precious gift along.  Some don't agree with that either, but I have seen some pretty serious sacrifices made to allow this gift to proceed in the past.  Let us root that they will be able to do so this year as well.
And let us all pray for our boys and girls, our coaches, teachers and administrators as they lead us long this treacherous path that is the 2020-21 school year.

Prayers from LCM

The top 3 are all capable of being district champs and I don't think anyone is going undefeated or winless this season (if we play, which I don't think is happening).
Everyone is going to beat on each other. I don't think there's a team here that head and shoulders above the group. probably looking at tiebreakers, point differentials and coin flips the first week of November to figure out who keeps play and who stays home.

2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS

SILSBEE TIGERS
2019 Record: 9-5 Overall, 4-1 District
Class 4A, Division II State Semifinalist
 
The Silsbee Tigers had another historic season, capturing the Class 4A, Region III Championship and marking the first time in school history that the Tigers had captured a Regional championship in back to back years.  With six starters on the offense and eight on defense, the Tigers appear primed to make a run at three in a row.

OFFENSE
Six starters return to the Tiger Multiple set offense in 2020.  Two year starter Raymond Foster returns to the quarterback position but look for senior Shan Gilder, Jr. to also get snaps behind center.  Senior Antonius Alrine (1st team all-district) will also return along with senior fullback Quincy Kelly Jr.  Sophomore fullback Jayron Williams should also see some time in the Tiger backfield.  Senior wide out Rueben Hatton (2nd team all-district) will pace a receiver group that will also included Gilder, Wiliams and returning tight end Ayden Bell (2nd team all-district) and newcomer Tre' Padilla.  Senior Noah Duke will lead an otherwise inexperienced line which will include senior Zach Tillman, juniors Kadin Stone, Josh Bradley and Leo Rodriguez and sophomore Jayce Jones.
 
DEFENSE
Eight starters return to the Silsbee 3-4 defense in 2020.  Seniors Ayden Bell (1st team all-district) and Caleb Buse return to guide things on the defensive line.  Kelly and Williams will man the inside linebacker positions while Gilder and senior Malik Jones will control things outside with Stone also seeing action at outside linebackers.  Hatton (1st team all-district), at safety, and Arline, at cornerback, will guide an otherwise young secondary which will see contributions from senior safety Jason Cochran, and sophomores Max Brisbane, Kevin Martin and Geremiah Jackson.

All district kicker/punter Diego Gonzalez returns to do the kicking and the punting.

Dr. Charles Breithaupt has just announced that for the 2020 only that video broadcast of Friday night football games will be allowed.
From Matt Stepp:
"BREAKING contingent upon a 2020 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up season the UIL WILL lift the Friday night live broadcast ban during the regular season.... This will be for 2020, both schools must agree to the broadcast...Dr. Breithaupt says they want to protect Friday night, but this yr is an exception"

Might be get to get new blood on the field. Ya never know. 

I’d say around 13. We are losing our 3 year Starter at Qb. We have two 3 year starters wide reciver Pollock and Champine at Db that are returning. We only have 9 seniors this upcoming season unless we get kids to come out of the band or some transfers from our favorite local team. We had a freshman start at Safety this past season and he will probably play running back some. 

Returning 15. We lost 17 seniors.
