I'm even MORE amazed that the UNDEFEATED 5A state championship coach is not coach of the year....THAT IS RIDICULOUS.  Congrats to David Green from Beaumont United on a perfect season, because its obvious that people in SE Texas think that all you did was roll the balls out and won state! Utterly RIDICULOUS.

Great move for Coach Rideaux! Best of luck to you young man!

Not impressed with this hire!! Should have hired a young and upcoming assistant. 

That is quite possibly the DUMBEST statement I've seen on here in quite a while.  First of all, Lamar was in dire need of a figure that could attract top notch talent AND have the experience to direct the program to greater heights.  This was actually the PERFECT hire! Wait...were you wanting Lamar to hire a WHITE, young, assistant? Yeah. That's probably it.  When will you people learn? SMH

GREAT MOVE! Could not have happened to a more deserving guy! Wish him well!!

Rest in peace, my friend.  Condolences to the Davis family.

No question.  The other "guys" don't compare to a 6'6 D1 prospect, but each of them are still outcome changers for sure.  It doesn't necessarily take a college prospect to make the difference between a great season and a mediocre one.  It happens all of the time.  Another thing that happens all of the time (in pretty much any sport) is a team will have a fantastic year, then the coach will be in an exact conversation like this, then lose one or more good players to graduation and it's a whole new group of "best coaches" the next year.  I've always argued that a combination of talent and coaching is absolutely necessary.  I love when coaches do more with less.  I'm more impressed with that than anything.. watching a game where one team has no business even being in it, yet strategy and preparation keeps it interesting.

I get bored with the best players always beating worse players lol.  How fun is that.. 

Ok, but how do you gauge "more with less" if they are losing anyway? its not horseshoes...You have to be able to coach talent and WIN against other teams with talent once the playoff starts as well.  I never understood that "less with more" nonsense. It just seems like an excuse for getting beat.

I think Sutherland and Mitchell should be in that conversation not a given for green. They were expected to win it all moving down. 

Cut it out. David Green is CLEARLY COTY alone and with no competition for that honor for 2021. Stop it.

Southlake carroll did it in 1992

Southlake Carroll was 3A 1992, right?

Come on are you REALLY going to make this a discussion? The 2001 Ozen was definitely the best ever to come out of Beaumont, and its not even close. The Hebert teams in the 80's rank 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, but this years BU team is benefitting from the Covid schedule and from being dropped in classification. They are really good and will probably win the 5A title tomorrow, but if you put this team up against Austin Westlake or Duncanville, they would not be the clear favorite and would likely get beaten convincingly this season being so young.  I hope they win it all though!

With all that......sometimes what region your in helps

I agree with that too.

I think its just program and leadership consistency over the years. Then it just becomes an expectation to achieve at that level.  The only thing in SE Texas on the boys side that was even remotely close to that was Port Arthur Lincoln. It was always state or bust. That can be a double edge sword however, but it establishes an expectation of excellence for the kids and coaches.

Sorry that is True Wesley played Lil Dribbler in Kountze and his brother and sister and family is from Kountze he never attend school there though 

Oh OK. You're saying he played in the little dribblers program when he was a kid? THAT makes him from Kountze? Ok. lol

Thanks for the clarification. I'm not sure what you're implying. But it doesn't matter what name you choose. 7-17 not impressive, IMO.

I get that, but when a freshman is your leading scorer....greater may be on the horizon.

7-17 overall record gets awards?

That simply means that he is being recognized for his team's improvement over the course of the season.  I wonder would you feel the same way if it were Pat Knight? Or Grey Giovanney? or Tom Abetemarco? Probably not.

I have a strong interest in six upcoming games between our local boys and girls, and every single one of them is at 7:00 tonight.  HJ girls, Silsbee Boys, Huffman Boys, BU girls, BU boys, HD boys.  It's a shame they didn't end up staggered.  I even got Texan live.  Doesn't do much good in this case.  

That's because there are no regional tourneys this year. it is very unfortunate though.

Looks like the "plans" to bring in an area HS coach have fallen through again! LOL  Congrats Coach Price!

Lol I may be wrong somebody tell me if I am... but his brother played for kountze around 2010ish. (Jamison Powell )  And his mother originally from kountze... also cousins and a sister who graduated from kountze.   

Ummm, No. Not any truth to that one whatsoever. LOL

Wesley Yates has ties to kountze as far as family.  But as stated played ball in Beaumont since he could dribble a ball.  

What?? No he does not! Who is claiming THAT?

Just threw that out there to keep you happy.   90 % of what you post is bogus.  Hogs like slop.

Yet another lie. your last name wouldn't happen to be TRUMP would it? I asked about Kountze basketball out of curiosity and respect of the history. What exactly are YOU talking about? 90%?? Really? That's outrageous and ridiculous. smh

Didn’t Yates who plays for BU transferred from Kountze?  Strange that the surge of 

BU basketball happened about the time Kountze went down.

If it wasn’t for Hardin county grown coaches and players BU would be concentrating on playin golf right about now.

THATS a huge lie! Wesley Yates III attended BISD schools since ELEMENTARY school, and his entire family is FROM Beaumont! Try again, sir!

Some of it has to do with the fact that Kountze ISD has been very poor rated financially and academically for several years now. Lot's of turmoil going on there these days.

That explanation makes a LOT of sense.

Strange.  The downfall of Kountze is proportionate to the surge of Silsbee basketball.  Strange that when Kountze was scary good, their main guy was a Silsbee kid.  So yea. I think the kids off highway 327 are now enrolled at Silsbee HS...

My thoughts EXACTLY. Thanks for your honest response.

Chris Miller is from Silsbee. Went to school with him every year until he moved to Kountze in the 9th grade. He moved back to Silsbee his 11th and 12th grade year. 

My point was that historically it was not uncommon for those kids to go back and forth between Kountze and Silsbee.
