Yes that HJ duo will be the best in the state.  Also the emergence of Junior Molly Beavers will be something to watch.  
Botley at Silsbee will be fun to watch also.  And the Robinson sisters over at LCM will make that program a whole lot better.

Last couple years we have played up north of us more and less and less of the Beaumont Area teams because of this horrible district alignment.  (3 Schools 2 hours or more away)    Therefore I have not kept up with the players in this area as much..   The HJ kids are obviously players to watch again.
The soph. Monica Bottley at Silsbee was really impressive last year - so she would be on my list for sure.
In our district - Palestine has a Junior - Aylasia Fantroy that is very good (17 4A MVP last year),  Carthage has a Junior - Jakyra Roberts that is solid also
We have senior Jakayla Brown who has started since she was a freshmen - missed several games last year in district but will be one of the top players in our area for sure.
 
Getting close to getting started!!

Tip tomorrow night. Tigers should be good a rested up. 

Jones has done well at times on thr boards. We will need him from here on out to snag those boards like Charles Oakley for us. 

Rebounding.  I'm sure the kids know better than we do, they've heard it often enough.  I'm sure it's a continuing theme from the coaches.  And they know that they could have dispatched Wharton a deal sooner if they could have prevented some of those second and third chance put backs in the second half. 

A lot of the time it's 5 guards on the floor which is a tough thing for rebounding.  They've just got to dig deep and find it.    

You are correct they  have more experience due to AAU but they are still freshman 14-15 year old kids competing against 17-18 year olds...maturity and body strength not full developed.  

We won the toss...Silsbee enters the playoffs as #1 seed.  I agree, would have been a good warm up for both teams.
 

The kids starting and playing are mostly underclassman. One senior starts and plays alot. Hats off to Lumberton on the win-they played great. Silsbee has a state team coming soon.

She didn't make many free throws the game yall beat us and she hit 31! I know how good she is.
 

Lumberton 66

Final 

Refs get mvp for the Tigers. 

Keep pressing Lumberton and don't rush your shots, you can take them.
 

You can watch the game here:
 

67-53 Silsbee 

and could be one of the few #4 seeds to win a playoff game.

I understand that, but in reality, the school that would really be hurt would be the #1 seed out of District 21-4A.  Can you imagine that going into last night thinking you will play Bridge City and now you find out that you might be playing Silsbee in bi-district?

Some new schools in this district as well as the non-district games for the 2016 football season.
