Man this thread, I know for a fact McClure would tell you Mitchell prepared him to be a college player and second how many times has Lumberton made the playoffs? I googled Lumberton basketball and Lumberton actually had a kid play at Texas A&M what did Lumberton do when that kid play at Lumberton? I’m just asking because I don’t know much history with Lumberton Basketball.

Klages at EC

Who? I bet a guy that has head coaching experience gets the job. 

Spell gets his troops ready and gets them to playoffs once again.

They are really good!! dang good coach over there 

What a win for PNG and the great Coach Carter!!! Heck of a coach 

OF is so good, can swing it from top to bottom and pitching is above average really impressed with them tonight. One of the best coaches around

It was my understanding that the SETCA game got cancelled, but if it didn’t, this coaching selection doesn’t make sense based on this year’s results.  

Yeah who knows how they pick the coaches but the Lumberton coach has done well there.. if he’s coaching one of the teams then kuddos to him and his staff, great accomplishment

Going to be at this game tonight, should be a great one.

I was pretty surprised about this considering he didn't even get his team into the playoffs this year, but apparently it's based on the results from the season before because they cancelled the all-star game last year.  

There were all-stars games last year, Sutherland and Green Coached the teams. 

If so where will it be played..

@TigerAlumni85 I saw it coming the more he started to win.  Craziest environment I have seen in sports in a while.  When he lost it seemed like parents were happy, but the more he won the madder people got.  The main reason is Bethea was hired after the principal who is a hometown girl, and she is the superintendent's friend.  People from there have told me that she wants to try and hire her brother to take over who is certified in the same subject area as Bethea.

Bethea took a 6-win 4th place team to a district championship and 15 wins.  However, he was told she wanted to go in a different direction with no reason or justification.  Politics in a small town can suck for sure.  I am glad I retired before I got into this profession, so this salary pays for my vacations.  Bethea will land on his feet but sucks for him because he did a good job with those young men.

So Jason Wilkins coming back ?

MVP should be the best player on the best team and that's Drelon Miller, but him and Harris are close enough to split.  The actual most valuable player to his team is Payton Wrinkle at Orangefield.  I bet he led them in every category and was best defender and decision maker.  

It is watered down and I want to say in the old days you could get a superlative and be on 1st or 2nd team.  I think these lists would turn out different if they were done by ranking the best players on down.

Miller and Harris are so special, flip a coin on both I’m sure they have plenty more MVPS under their belts

Many years ago the all district teams were chosen to reward hard work, talent and success on the court. These days not so much. Looking at these picks there are some great players and coaches but the awards should be for the best of the bunch. In a 7 team district 35 players would be starters. This list has 26 players that’s 5 complete teams plus 1. I may be old fashioned but that’s a little watered down. The coach looks like a no brainer. The guy who took a team of sophomores and went undefeated would be my choice. 

Those sophs are cats who can flat out go, Silsbee has tons of talent

They were.  Just saying top to bottom talent wise, OF was at best the 4th most talented team. 

Silsbee, lcm, Wos, Ofield, prob that order

OF did have 2 good guards

Lum a good guard, Vidor a good guard, WOS had a good guard

Silsbee and LCM kids good but it like they were forwards - not sure if you list Elliott as guard or not 

but some good kids out top

Lcm guard was dang good, they had good guard play, ofield, had good guard play, so did Silsbee

Y’all are sleeping on Bottley as defensive MVP, he was the one who the Silsbee coaches trusted to defend the other teams best player. Blocked shots or rebounds, no but it is a very valuable thing to have a lock down defensive player who can take the other teams best player out of the game. I’d like to get a Silsbee fans opinion but they seemed to love the effort Bottley gave them every game over there.

I agree I thought he was pretty good

Tend to agree with all of that. I typically hate “co’s” because almost always one was better than the rest.  I’m okay with McDonald being co or even coach of the year because he did the most with the least this year, imo.   Harris was the mvp, Elliott deserved offensive poy, and honestly would have probably given Miller defensive because he was one of the best two players in the league period.   

I thought ofield had 2 of the better guards in the district

Great job Silsbee and coaching staff !! Awesome year

Are you watching the game????

It would be an upset, If Silsbee beat the AAU Monstars

Excuses they are number 2 team in state

#1 COULD BE #1 IN 5A FOR 4A. Its an upset for sure 

No it’s not lol, it’s 1 vs 2 it’s not an upset

Booker T and Faith Family aren't the same type of teams. The keys for Silsbee to win will be forcing turnovers, free throws, and knock down 3s like we did vs Booker T. Anyone can be beat in a one game scenario. I find it trash that #1 vs #2 has to be a semifinals game. Ill take Silsbee in a major upset 81-77. 

Major upset it’s not a major upset if number 2 beats number 1 lol 

Great season!!! Coach Fogo has done a great job
