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.

I can date back to the mid 80s but:

SFA beat DUKE with more talent then Monteverde has...So to say they would beat everybody is crazy...

I agree.

Coldspring 1994-1995  team with the Ivory twins
1986 Cleveland Indians State Champion teams with Craig Lillie

1981 Lincoln team

I have always thought the 95 Silsbee team was the best of the past 30 years. Allen and Jones were not only bulky but Allen high jumped 6'8". They were good and pretty good students. I went to the state girls tournament the day they lost. I wonder if that was the last time the Montayne was full.

Donnell Allen, Willie Jones jr, Al Henry (Caucasian Boil House owner), Damien Bush, Tyrell Davis, Russell Whitmore. They looked like a D1 team as they were all weight room swole and could ball. 6'3, 6'4, 6'1,6'1, and 6'5 was the weight. 

Ozen by 3 ,that team was loaded not only did they go undefeated and win state that year ,they also beat the #1 team in Willowridge in a scrimmage the same year with TJ Ford whom went on to win state also that year. 

2001 Ozen by 1

Lincoln by 3

1st round:
#1 Silsbee 2017 vs.#16 Kountze 2000 (Silsbee 82-72)
#2 Lincoln 1995 vs. #15 Ozen 2002 ( Lincoln 65-58)
#3 Ozen 2001 vs. #14 P.A. Memorial 2018 (Ozen 68-62)
#4 Hebert 1980 vs. #13 Ozen 2015 (Hebert 88-75)
#5 H.J. 1991 vs. #12 Central 2014 (Upset alert Central 76-74)
#6 Lincoln 1988 vs. #11 Kountze 2004 (Lincoln 63-58)
#7 Central 1999 vs. #10 H.J. 2007 (Upset alert H.J. 57-55)
#8 Silsbee 1995 vs. #9 Lincoln 1991 (Lincoln 54-53)
 
 
 

31-1 Tigers would go toe fo toe with most teams on that list and might have been better than the state champ Tigers. Remember this is a Tigers team who beat Lincoln, Central, and West Brook by 15-20pts each. They were the only Tiger team I know who was ranked in USA Today!.  This was a era of less high schools and 4A would be the current 5A for alot of schools. 

‘84-‘85 Tigers. I’ll take that pound for pound and raise you. Was #1 most of the season lost to Lincoln at home. We dropped to #3 and Lincoln took over the #1 spot. Then we repaid Lincoln by beating them at the Beehive and we regained the #1 spot. Lost to that Smith character and his team in the regional final by three points. Only lost two games all year.

I don’t care if anyone agrees or disagrees with it, that was a well-written, well-reasoned post. 

They probably didn’t start it, but Odessa Permian certainly perfected the “recruiting process” during the Oil Boom in the 70s and 80s.  Unlike Yates, the big selling point was financial remuneration.  Dads got jobs, Moms got jobs.  Families got homes.  And an above average football program was turned into a powerhouse/dynasty.  Bissinger wrote a fantastic book on the town, the program, and the issues of race that still plagued the area at the end of the 80s.  Why he didn’t delve more into that aspect of Mojo I guess only he can answer.  Because it was certainly there and no secret in West Texas and elsewhere.  But no one said Boo about it  
Yates didn’t invent that wheel (or HF or EC or whomever else you want to bring up about HS “move ins”).  They are merely operating under rules that have probably been skirted since the UiL came into existence.  

Democrats have been profiting off of suffering for decades...it's called welfare.
Throw your voters some crumbs and promise crumbs for the future but do not offer opportunities that would lift them to the level of independence and risk losing their vote.
What the Democrats have been doing for decades is pathetic and shameful.  
 
You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.

Well of course it’s been their tactic for some time now. 
Misery is their company = VOTES

Chinese?  Wonder how many scum Muslims have made it across?

I think the race talk needs to end. It's really not relevant to this topic.
Please refrain from making anymore racial comments.

You, sir, are undoubtedly either a snowflake or a snowfake if you think that metaphor is racist. It is a perfect picture of why affirmative action cane into being.
