It doesn't matter what any of us think.  It's the district coaches' decision and they picked the best player on the best team so it can't be that egregious. 
I do think there should be some accountability with these votes, though.  These are public schools so the voting should be open to public record.  Maybe they could even do it at a place like Twin Peaks and people could present their case with film and stats.  Then we could see who voted for who without all the backwoods politicking. I think I would go to that all district meeting. 

First of all, in regards to the #1 seed game. I know that Orangefield wanted to flip and not play but Kountze said no. They wanted to play the game. So Orangefield had to agree to play or concede the #1 seed.
As for the superlatives go, I actually thought that Whitmire and Joubert should have been Co-COY. They both did tremendous jobs with their respective teams. I usually don't like Co's but in this case I think it's deserving and would have been the right thing to do.
I think the coaches got the MVP right. IMO, Sells is the best player and performed that way all season. I think Scales getting Offensive MVP is right on the money and Wrinkle getting Defensive was the correct call too. IMO, Wrinkle was more valuable to his team but isn't the scorer that Scales is. This is based on some of the games I have watched live and on video. When I talk to folks at the games it's always brought up how Wrinkle is Orangefield's "glue guy" (does it all) but just doesn't have the offensive game that Scales has. 
All in all, I think the coaches have it right.
Just my opinion. No shade thrown anywhere.

Adams and McCain were 44-0 in district play on the court. Officially 43-1 due to forfeit that both teams (LC-M and Silsbee) received for that game.
Since the 2015 season (last 10 seasons) Silsbee has a overall district record (on the court) of 111-5 with 2 of those losses due to JV having to play. Theoretically the Tigers should be 113-3 with one loss to Lumberton in 2021 and two losses to Hardin-Jefferson in 2015 and 2020. Silsbee split with HJ those two years and ended up beating them each time in #1 seed game.
10 years of district dominance.

Lady Cards take care of business beating Northwestern State in their last conference road game. FINAL Lamar wins 80-64.
Lamar now 22-5 with 12 wins in a row.
Final regular season game Wednesday at home against Houston Christian.
One thing I like about their play in the recent games is that they're getting off to fast starts and not having to expend a great effort to work back into the game. For a while, it looked liked they were not ready to play at the start of games.

Lady Cards beat A&M Commerce on the road 74-58 to get some revenge for their only conference loss of the year.
Meanwhile, the UIW CARDS beat Southeastern LA by a score of 53-51.
This gives Lamar a two game lead over SE LA with two to play. Lamar swept SE LA during the regular season so this should give the Lady Cards the #1 seed and the conference title.
Congrats Lady Cards now 21-5 and 15-1.

Impressive run Orangefield has been on, they have been rolling for a while with multiple playoff runs.  Shout out to that community & administration for making ALL the sports a priority. It wasnt that long ago basketball was an afterthought. I feel like Orangefield has one of the better small school athletic programs around. 

It's so funny looking back thru threads like this. 😎😁

I have all the regional tourney info that involves our 6 coverage area teams that have made their respective regionals.
I will post that thread tomorrow evening with opponents, dates, times and places and who they would play if they were to win.
 
These are the six coverage area teams that made their regional tourneys and who they play:
6A Region III
Beaumont United vs.Katy Seven Lakes
 
5A Region III
Port Arthur Memorial vs. Killeen Ellison
 
4A Region III
Silsbee vs. Houston Wheatley
 
3A Region III
Kountze vs. Palestine Westwood
 
2A Region IV
Sabine Pass vs. Santa Maria
 
1A Region IV
Brookeland vs. Rocksprings

Agreed.  The biggest reason that rubber match with Kountze was so important. 

I believe one can safely say that 4A Region III in the last 20 seasons runs thru Silsbee.

The stock market is doing good because they anticipate a Trump victory in November!

This win sends Silsbee to their 16th regional tournament in last 20 seasons.
Only 4 times in that span that Silsbee didn't make regional tourney was 2006, 2011, 2013 and 2014.
This is their 10th consecutive regional tournament. ('15, '16, '17, '18. '19, '20, '21, '22, '23, '24)
A win vs. Wheatley Friday will put the Tigers playing in their 14th regional final in the past 20 seasons.
 
Been a pretty descent two decades for Silsbee.
