Great job

I saw on Twitter that Willie Jones III (Tre' Jones) received his first offer from Southeastern Louisiana State University 

When I say athlete I mean someone that can play  multiple sports and exceed in them! Not just being on a team!

Yep 2017 is putting him a Sr. Next year

Exactly!!

Congrats, early offers should make you work hard on and off the court....the haters are coming! Social Media is how they're gonna come so be the bigger person and don't respond, I've seen colleges bag out because of negativity on social media! Congrats again!

Can't wait to see the KJ kid hook up with Barnes and Jones with 7on7 team. Louisiana Blaze! Do anyone know when and where the next 7on7 tournament?

The sophomore from Silsbee is burning up the track also. Best time I think is a 10.58! Don't know if it was FAT or hand....

Yep at legacy, the Tigers put on a show!

7on7 is almost bigger than high school football! If the right people see you out there showing out you can very well get offers from some big time program every high school should do it if that's the case!

Jones and Barnes hooked up at a 7 on 7 tournament this weekend! Heard they were very impressive.

How many players did Lumberton  lose from last years team?  Just curious!

If you have the  opportunity to play D1 that's great and a huge  accomplishment! You have some kids that have d1 talent but don't have the grades and they have the mindset that they will go play junior college and then transfer! That's not the case, some of these junior colleges have more freshman and sophomore kids that have more talent than the major colleges so get ur grades and take the easy route! Because if a kid think they're gonna walk on a junior college campus and be the man just because they were a 5 star recruit that didn't get their grades they will be in for a big surprise! 

Anytime young people doing something positive you have to congratulate them!

Well, Earl Thomas wasnt sized correctly either, you see how that ended up.

True 

Some of these kids will not play the same positions in college that they play in high school!

As this thread appears to be losing it's usefulness, I would be remiss if I didn't note that the above was the first mention of West Orange-Stark in this thread and appeared to be what touched off the WO-S vs. Silsbee tiff (or least this last round of it).  This leads me to the moral of this story (a moral that I contemplated doing specifically, but found is universally true):

If you don't want another school or school district in your thread, don't put another school or school district in your thread.

Now, in an effort (although probably a futile one) to get this thread back to it's original intent, I again wish Coach Smith and the Tigers the best of luck.  He already possesses the good fortune of not having to rebuild a program as many in the area do covet the program in Silsbee as it exists now.  Of course, the Tigers under Coach Smith will not be the same as it was under Coach McGallion...that happens, it is part of the game. Mr. Green Jeans and Pepper Brooks said it best, that Coach Smith's success will go only as far as the community's willingness to buy into whatever stamp he puts on it.  Silsbee folks, regardless of who you supported, Randy Smith is your coach.  The success of your youth and your school are directly tied to his.  Be patient with him, ideas that he has right now may not be the same ideas once the Tigers hit the field this fall and may not remain the whole season.  This area is filled with coaches who came in with an idea of how their team could be operated only to realize quickly that those ideas wouldn't work and adapted.  Coach Smith will do what is best for the Silsbee program, football and otherwise.

Right

Really good articles, it good to see the community of Silsbee supporting the Tigers and all the support the injured young man received was great! Look to see you guys next year congrats on a great season and you should feel honored to live in a town that show much love! Congrats.

I have heard from a pretty good source he was there and in attendance in SA this weekend. Now I was in SA but never noticed him but was told he was right there by the superintendent. I am very interested in seeing how this new era begins.

You don't believe that YOURSELF! IF they had the opportunity to get Boutte, it matters not who else chose to apply...It would be his job.

But will Boutte take it, it will have to be real money! I mean real money
