So take your best freshmen players and put them on your cross town rivals sidelines unsupervised?  Seems like a way to get your best kids snagged.  My coworker said the LCM head coach used to pick up the WOS kid and bring him to LCM workouts while the kid was enrolled in WOS still.

No way thats true.  Why would that kid just move back to West Orange after sitting all of last year?

Bush/Adams/McCain were three compared to Miller/Harris as a twosome.  Not to mention the supporting cast with the first group all played college sports somewhere.  Completely better role players and more of them.  Lastly, see the hardware.

J'Covan, Persia, Mullens.
Little Langston was probably the third best freshman in the area last year behind Garrett at WB and Nederland pg, but he doesn't go to Kelly anymore.  PNG kid.  Their best ever is Joel Lafleur.

I don't think Kountze winning the district is all that out there.  East Chambers lost a lot, Orangefield lost almost all their scoring, Anahuac lost the best big in the league, and Buna seems to be really down.  I still have EC I think.
My bold prediction is the the Dotson kid at BU signs with a major college program.

Respectfully disagree.  Hefner chose A&M over offers from Houston and Oklahoma.  Weisbrod went to New Orleans/Lamar.  I'll take Hefner over Weisbrod.
Jamie Weaver went to Houston and was on the Phi Slamma Jamma teams.  I'll take him over Hefner.
Buddy Davis won an Olympic gold medal and two NBA titles in the 50's.  He's your winner for Nederland.  Don't tell Colton's dad I said that, though!
 
 

You're probably right.  A lot of times teams are considered overrated so much that they become underrated.  I think Warren and Anahuac have a shot, but Buna likely outperforms those two.

Great hire!  Great dude.

Every coach in America sends that text.  Eventually the LCM people will realize that Peevey is all fluff and no substance.

I'm curious to see how the Bobcats perform at TABC in coming weeks.  Not sure their youth can replace the experience that left.  Hopefully Whitmire can make up for it. 

Thanks.  I expected more from the Beaumont crowd.  Maybe Nederland too, but they're preoccupied with bashing their own football program right now.  And speaking of Bulldogs, I heard BJ Tyler is going to be the next coach at Kelly.  Anyone else hear that?

And Orangefield Board of Trustees sighs with relief...good hire!

I hope not too.  Orangefield has been really good with McDonald and could continue to be really good with Whitmire.  He has a good track record of taking kids without much athleticism and natural talent and turning them into good players and teams.

I think you're taking what was intended as a complement and turning it into something else.  I saw Buna this year and they were competitive with a bunch of guys who don't jump out at you athletically.  Thats pretty standard for Buna with most teams being a little better. Lots of good players have come through there, but I don't recall a whole lot of 6'6 guys tearing down rims.  Whitmire always did more with less and that's impressive.

Those Connells really are the best.  I heard Whitmire is going to pass due to too much drama.  If true, that's a shame because he's a really good coach.  Buna should have never let him walk.

Bridge City kid was 2nd team.  Fort Bend kid was honorable mention.  Those are facts, Jack.  Another fact is your football coach begging Orangefield's best 8th grader to move to LCM.  This is a basketball thread.  See ya!

I poked at him earlier, but you guys are being a little hard on the guy.  He just wants the best for his son.  If Orangefield doesn't hire a coach to his liking they will likely be taking his talents to IMG Academy.

Man those Buna coaches can’t wait to get the heck out of there and over to Orangefield 🧐

If you're talking about the kids dad that always wears the cool flat bill hat, then I could not think of a worse idea.  I guess it would make for good TV though. 

I usually agree with you, but i think Lumberton finishes towards the bottom.  They lost a ton.  So does Silsbee, but they're Silsbee.  Rest of the district bring a lot back from poor teams.  I think this is the weakest the district has probably ever been.  I do think Jake McDonald gets your Bobcats into the playoffs.
The HF, HJ, Huffman district will be a battle.  Three good teams.  I'll be interested to see who is suiting up for the Horns, but they should be good.

Good list, but you only put seven.  Add Anthony Allen (Lincoln), Daimon Sweet (Central), Imannuel McElroy (Lincoln), Kelvin McKyer (Lincoln), Darryl McArthur (Silsbee), Keena Young (Ozen), Braelon Bush (Silsbee) all have to be in that discussion.  Guy from Nederland named Buddy Davis played in the NBA and won a gold medal in the Olympics, but I never saw him play.  Probably has the resume to make it though.
