bayou city 713

Exactly!!!! And also some of those exceptional players that are zoned to the Houston public schools attend prep / private schools. That’s why the private schools are on top. Back in the game the only private school in Houston that could compete was strake !!! Now you have charter, prep , and private schools that are all super competitive. and yes silsbee would be competitive in 5a but top 5 no !!! Maybe top 15-25..maybe top 5-10 in Houston area but statewide Nope ...

Sounds like someone is tooting their own horn ...public city schools are at disadvantage just as they have an advantage..it balances out ..smh ..name me the Houston schools that are CURRENTLY dropping down to win championships...

I agree with what you saying ..I’m not saying they are a clear favorite ..It can be a winnable game for silsbee ..but based on watching both teams it would be a slight upset ..depending on the way Yates shoots the ball ..and maybe it’s clear to everyone or it just looks to me that Yates focus is solely on defense/ press sets ...I only see their coach only calling defensive plays unless it’s like at the end of a qtr....

Y’all are very optimistic, but biased at the same time

Unmmm bro ...atascocita lost to north forest ...and anybody that knows basketball and has watched both Yates and silsbee play this year knows that silsbee isn’t favored to beat Yates this year ...strength of schedule means nothing when you’re losing vs all of the tough teams that you are playing

I agree...I have never seen yates get out of the press ..and one year it cost them a championship vs kimball....silsbee will zone and get out of the press sometimes if needed..yates press is more choatic ..it’s like they include the refs with the press ..it looks as if they have extra players on the court...silsbee’s is more fundamental and controlled...should be a decent game ...not by 30 tho both teams play with too much heart and pride to make it that far and lose by 30

But not 30 points better though, and when games are played in larger gyms it usually takes yate a while to heat up

No way ..from what I seen this year is yates 30 points better than silsbee..but true at this point yates are a better team..silsbee can beat Yates if they are slipping ...if yates aren’t making three’s and if silsbee rebounds and slows down the dunks/fast-breaks they can’ beat them.

...wow and they did this without their best player ..

No it doesn’t ...but these private, and prep schools have all but killed competive inner city school basketball...I remember a time where Westbury Christian and strake were the only two good private school programs..hell I remember when it was just strake ...now the privates are better than the publics...times have changed ...

True

That’s true just like silsbees...but they’ve beat other decent teams...you beat who’s in front of you

Yes zirrrr...to be honest I’m amazed at how competitive they are year in and out ..small town with a bunch of heart. I first seen them play Yates in Huntsville 5 years ago

Yates plays off dunks ...those blow out wins for Yates are with running clock..they could’ve put up at least 150 on Wheatley with ease

If that’s meant toward me I’m a north shore man .was I bragging about silsbee losing to north shore nope? ...bruh I watch all teams and call it like it is ..and since u bringing up Yates ...I’m assuming u want my assessment on Yates vs silsbee ...silsbee is capable of beating them but Yates would have to play a bad game ...lol ...kill the excuses bruh ..take ur lick

Unmmmh bro hea yall go with the scuses ..take your lick bro...humble is a non ranked 5a team with 6 losses

Ummmmmh ..center lost to humble

And yes it’s homefield advantage when teams like Lamar , lamarque, Hightower, and Dekaney...have to leave on the day of the game to drive 4 hours and get right off the bus to play the game..how is this not a disadvantage 89 falcon?

A part of the reason DFW schools have the money and resources to have these facilities are due to either the districts being in fluent areas or due to a lot their districts being single or two team districts..south lake Carroll is the only team in their district, Allen is the only team in theirs ...trinity has only one other school in their district...meanwhile in southeast Tx ..just think HISD, galena Park isd Beaumont district , Baytown isd ,and port Arthur isd can’t afford that ..then most of the other major districts with money in the Houston area are districts with multiple schools...katy , fb, cypress, clear creek isd have almost 10 high schools .....humble, Pasadena , and Conroe all have at least 6 ....those amenities have to be available for all of the schools in the district to use.

The advantage Silsbee has over city schools is chemistry. Most rural district players go to the same elementary middle and High schools. In large urban districts the players come from everywhere....way shorter mesh period...

North shore has only two feeder schools. Cunningham and north shore middle ...Remember North Shore Its in the galena park district.

Im a North Shore fan / native ....but Ummm yes I was at the Houston Christian game and it was a competitive game ..they have several D1’s ..pg is going to A&M ...smart and exceptional pg play beats Yates when they lose .and bro I keep up and watch a lot of High school basketball ...with the exception of their loss nobody has come close to beating them , and this is with their coach tinkering in and out different line ups ...their stating guards are 6’0 6’3&6’4 one of their guards from last year hit a crazy growth spurt the Rubin jones kid....have you seen them play ?

Senior leadership is undervalued ..they’ appear to be light inside this year and especially missing leadership from that little light skinned fiesty guard they had last year ...not sure but I think he came off the bench but he rarely got rattled or intimidated..when younger players See that their leaders/seniors are composed they keep their composure

As far as Silsbee vs Yates this year ...From what I’ve seen THUS FAR this year , and from what I’ve seen in the Cy fair tournament even with the football players added unless Yates is having a bad game Silsbee is gonna have to play over their heads to beat them...Yates are bigger , better and a more complete team than North Shore ..i thought Silsbee pressed relentlessly they’ stayed in zone the whole game vs Cy springs

Chuuuuuuch!!!!
