Silsbee 2 loses to Memorial by 10 or 15.

Oh and that defenders team only had 5 players this morning.

Silsbee struggled to a 57-44 win over a defenders team that they beat by about 40 last night.

Silsbee 1 is the 8 returning varsity players that are here missing Luke plus Adonis, Devon and Jordyn. Silsbee 2 is Jv and below.

I have no problem with Barnes starting, I thought he was quite capable of starting last year. The only problem at all. Is just figuring out who those starters will be with so many capable. We have Michael McCain, Tre Grubbs and Dontre Thomas all but guaranteed starting spots. Then you have Kolton Mackey, Bruce Newton, Trejan Harris that were the three that filled those other two spots most of the time. Then you had Ricky Maze, Kaylon Barnes and Luke Tanton who all played key minutes last year. All of these return. I think for the regular season we only had 11 players, graduated 1 and 1 transferred. If I have forgotten anyone please remind me. If you add both the expected freshman to the varsity Devon McCain and Jordyn Adams(hope that's the right first name), we have 11 players plus you have 3 that came up for the playoffs in Bass, Adonis and Tre Lowe. That would give 14 without the possible rumored move in. I think most of the time with even 15 players Coach Sigler would get them pretty good playing time with possibly 3 solid groups just because of the way he has rotated in groups of 5 in the past. He could go 3 minutes first team, 3 minutes second team and 2 minutes third team each quarter unless the game dictated otherwise. Good problem to have in some ways. It's up to the players to look towards the team instead of themselves. That was a strong point last year, let's hope it is this year. As far as those other two starting spots, if that one rumored transfer was to happen it would be down to one open spot and filling it would be a tough decision. One I am sure the coaches would love to have to make.

Yes Spearman enrolled in Beaumont before the school year was over.

If. And that's a big if, that one comes to Silsbee and everyone else stays it would be real scary for our opponents. Grayland would be a starter anywhere in the area. It would probably even be bigger for Tiger football.

Thanks.

Who was in Silsbee in middle school?

So who is the kid Kountze is going to lose?

They moved Grayland down to JV? They must have a lot of new communications students!

Haha!! Maybe he needs to start drinking!

Ten worse than you but i would bet that course is quite a bit tougher than the ones you are playing! He has more troubles than a swing change. His mental game is nowhere near where it was several years ago. Not near as confident and now he is not feared!

No he was guaranteed some state titles!!

What's up with this one? Any schedule?

No excuse at all, I said They should have gotten a shot off. Did not say it would have been made.

I don't know that they should have called a TO, they had a good break with Harden having the ball. I though he should have kept going to the basket instead of the pass. He did have 2 defenders going with him but go to the basket and dish off for an open shot not pass to the closest to you. Either way you have to at least get a shot off, drive and dish or shoot and hope for a foul if you don't score.

Absolutely nothing!

At 3-1 most of us did including me but that was after game 1!

If you are referring to some of my comments, none were directed at you unless I addressed it to you. I think what you are doing is great.

Only all of his transfers the next year.......

I think it is only against il rules if you coach your own players, as far as Brady coaching his players the school isn't uil. I know a few years back according to posts Yates coach Wise was also an AAU coach.

Brady you have great points. AAU coaches like yourselves are great for these kids. Devoting your time and money and pushing these kids to be the best they can be is great. But, and you will have to answer this, how many of these summer coaches are like yourself and how many are there to maybe Coach their kids or other kids or even try to get a moment in the sun themselves by having success. I realize some of these high school coaches may be merely there for the job as well but many have just as much care for the kids as well. As far as the remarks about average AAU or High School Coaches, my interpretation would be that based on pure coaching ability. I am not a good evaluator of that but I know from seeing comments that there are some AAU coaches that have had very successful careers so I would put them on the top level just like Coaches like Sutherland locally or Boutte and so on. Those coaches at the top levels may be pretty even. When you get to the lnext level where coaches haven't really had success at the top and maybe don't have the coaching skills of these the above category, I would say may be the average coaches. For the most part I would think from that level the high school coaches would have the edge there based on their education and maybe experience. my opinions there are not a criticism of you or any other coach in particular just an overall observation. I could be wrong because I have very limited AAU experiences. With that said my hats off to the Coaches such as yourself that go the extra mile and devote large portions of your life helping these kids. I think that is one of the best things a person can do, help our youth to better themselves, keep them off the streets and give them goals to reach for.

Not enough team has been caught twice. Brady caught cheating in the playoffs. I may be extreme but it should cost him the season. Make others think before doing it.
