You’re right. You guys LOST in the title game in 2015 and look to miss the playoffs in 2018. I stand corrected. Still fell off a cliff, though.

Things can change so fast. I know of a team that won a state title four years ago and will probably not make the playoffs this year. No division changes, no new district... they just fell off of a cliff. You might have heard of them. They’re the West Orange Stark Mustangs Baseball team. The Mustangs have had an incredible run, but things can definitely turn for the worse. The good news is that “worse” for WOS will probably mean a DC and four rounds... just no title game.

I'll cast my annual "no" vote. But, hey.... I've been wrong three years in a row.

How many DCs will this give BC if we can hold it together?

I know, right? Uncalled for.

Shocker. It's what I'm always saying about Silsbee Fan.

Son! There wouldn’t have been a Day 2.

I was coming over to say the same thing.

I don’t know anything about Coach Morgan, so i really don’t have an opinion about his coaching attributes. I’ve got to say that I’m totally surprised by the school board down there. Apparently there are people down there on the board who managed to look beyond the coach’s “qualifications” and just make a hire. Some of the predominately white schools need to look around and pay attention. Respect.

“The only real question is which one of them will deserve to win the WRS.” Silsbee Fan

I know.... I get really tired of them complaining about being left out, too.

“Where are the rest of the kids from Silsbee? We’re getting screwed again!” Silsbee Fan.

Seems like a solid guy... not sure about hiring a coach that’s been out of coaching for 8-9 years and forcing him to recycle almost all of the old assistants. I mean, you can’t say anything bad about the guy, but I’m not sure he’s ready to bring the team into 6A relevance. In fact, it seems pretty unlikely. I smell a West End fix to keep the Bruins as the big dog @BISD.

In all fairness, he had some really big shoes to fill.

That’s what I’m talking about!

So I guess if our point totals matched theirs, we could beat anybody in 3A or 4A, too? That’s Newton logic there, son!

I disagree... a coach with good connections to the college level can get a lot of kids looks who wouldn’t normally get a look.... Coaches who don’t focus on the recruitment process tend to end up with fewer recruits.

No... we’re a remarkably average fish but we definitely start seeing the big fish in the playoffs... and that’s something Newton can’t say.

Oh, I wasn’t offended. This next year will be the first year that I don’t have anybody participating in anything on Friday Night in four years. I didn’t have anybody on the team last year and it seems like I just get more and more out-of-touch with the program every day. I’m wondering if I’ll stay as dedicated as time moves on. There’s only so much entertainment value to be had cracking jokes about Newton and Silsbee.

No doubts!

But we have that trophy. That’s something you and Silsbee can’t say. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there’s an army of young cardinals chomping at the bit to be the next stud RB in Cardinal Country. I think that we’ve got better days ahead.

But I’m not sure y’all would have any of those if you played in our district. Just enjoy your JV state trophy. Make no mistake, though. I support you guys. It’s better to be a big ol’ fish in a teeny tiny pond than to have to swim out here with the big fishes.

We’d have a bigger collection if we played 3A D2 Ball.

“Coach Jones, and I have to ask you to be frank here today.... have you ever forced a child to perform squat thrusts or bear crawls? This district WILL NOT have our children subjected to those archaic forms of degradation and punishment.”
