Silsbee should win. Yates barely got out of the gym against WOS. Had WOS hit their free throws, they would’ve moved on. 

Wos almost beat Silsbee in game one this year 

I think it’s dumb that 1 and 2 play in the semifinals!!! 

Just now, Who That said:

Yates hates us..!🤷🏻‍♂️🏆🏆😁🐅🏀

Well y’all whipped then last year while they were number 2

The Huffman run last year was anomaly.  Region wasn’t the usual juggernaut, hell a team that was freshman/JV aged from Silsbee could have won it.  Not that they weren’t good but still.  Yates was and is on the decline.  HH also had a really good 4A player that was a coach on the floor.  
 

Point being, Silsbee is really still the only southeast Texas team that has the goods to run with the big boys on a consistent basis.  Arguing who is the best in 21-4A is ultimately arguing who is perhaps going to get a win or two in the playoffs. 

Yates was 22-1 last year and Silsbee upset them yates was petty dang good

Those coaches weren't basketball coaches so them only winning 2-3 games a year made since. As far as the 4 players that came over, only one was on varsity and a ranked player with college intrest prior to coming and he wasn't transfering but returning to the district. The other 3 were talented freshman who left BU for academic reasons or homes got damaged in the flood. I know at least two of them are honor society and have academic scholarships. Rideaux helped those 3 develop into all district and one into an all region player. This notion of recruiting needs to stop as it is a lie! Those boys came to HF due to circumstances and decisions outside of basketball! My son returned to HFISD (yes he went to the elementary school he and his brother) purely for academic reasons as he was already being recruited and ranked Texas Top 100. He has a 4.0 and multiple academic scholarships that will go along with his basketball where ever he goes. Stop throwing shade at these kids and their families! These are good kids from good families and don't deserve to have that lie hanging over their heads. My son lost his entire junior and along with it D1 interest because of lies, jealousy, and deceitful tactics from adults in education and administration that are supposed to be all about these kids success and not their own personal vengeance, careers, or a dang basketball record. 

So jacks who won over 400 basketball games isn’t a b-ball coach? Pace who was a college coach isn’t a b-ball coach?

I agree the culture changed when they hired actual basketball coaches.  After watching about 60 games or so the last 3 years, I feel like I have a good handle on the teams capabilities and what could have been.  I also enjoyed watching your son cardinal 1 and my son enjoyed playing with him, he tried to play team basketball even though he could have fallen right in with the me, me, me stuff, he didn't.  I think he will do well at the next level.  

They had pace and jacks, those guys were basketball coaches, they just didn’t have the talent .

3 straight winning seasons vs 1 in over a decade prior? The entire culture has changed at that school when it comes to basketball. The JV obliterated everyone in that district and for the first time in school history they hired back to back basketball coaches instead of football guys who took a stipend to coach the team. HF if I'm not mistaken is the only school in the district where the basketball coach has to coach football and other sports to make up for salary. That's a big deal when you are going up against coaches who get to focus 100% on basketball. So I'm proud of our guys, no it wasn't the season it could have been, but for my kid he enjoyed coming to HF, going to school with family, and making new friends. He only got to play one year of varsity but proved what he needed as he has multiple offers with more to come to play at the next level. 

Well let’s be honest a lot of those coaches that were at fannett didn’t have the talent those other coaches had, Fannett had 4 new players come over who were studs.

They probably would have finished the same.  To much me,me,me on the team and not enough team.  That showed last night and in previous losses with HJ and Huffman.  The Washington team played together and should go far in the playoffs, if not outright win it.  As soon as HF got down, one player tried to take on the whole Washington team and all the others could do was stand and watch.  Washington was hitting shots and making great passes to the open man.  They were just as excited to make a great pass as they were to hit a shot.  You did not see that from HF at all during the big games over the last three years.   You might say well, the coach could have changed that but even with the previous coach the same thing was going on.  That has been the problem with them the last three years.  This team won a lot of games over the last three years but overall were a big disappointment because they couldn't play together when they needed too.  HF should be ok with the new coach in charge because the kids he has coming thru the next few years play together and share the ball.  

The new coach does a great job, tigee did also but I agree that group should have been better they got bounced out last year in first round

Meanwhile, Tigee turns around Nimitz in year one.  If he had stuck around, HF either wins that district or shares the title imo.  He’s that good.  And no one bring up last year unless you’ve been asleep since for the last 2 years.  

Nimitz brought every player back last year from a team that was young and competitive, I remember watching them against la porte last year, Nimitz was pretty dang athletic. He has done a good job though but like I always tell people you have to have talent to win and he had that at fannett for sure 

Kountze always has a shot when they are in the playoffs 

I knew that district was pretty dang good, they had 5 teams who could have made the playoffs. So happy for coach Jeffcoat. 

Go English and the dogs with the big Dub

Honestly I’m surprised he lasted this long. He did the same stuff last year. It seems like every other game it’s something 

We’ll if they didn’t have him during district they don’t make the playoffs

WO-S slowed the game down last night against HJ and played great defense and forced a halfcourt game on HJ. Had they chose to get up tempo with HJ, the result most likely would have been different.

When I watched the 2nd game with Silsbee, WO-S did not handle the pressure very well and turned it over quite a bit.

IMO, Mustangs are better off playing halfcourt against Yates.

Yes I agree with that, what I’m saying is wos can handle yates press and play a hc game with them also they can handle the press and get some easy looks/baskets because yates won’t play great defense, what I’m saying is of,lcm didn’t press and didn’t give up easy looks, they made them have to run an actual hc offense  and took gaps away and made them jump shooters, HJ will give u easy baskets doesn’t matter if it’s hc pressue or full, Silsbee, HJ, yates their defense is their offense.

I beg to differ.

Against teams like Silsbee and Yates, WO-S best chance at winning is slowing the game down to a half court game. That was evident when they played Silsbee the first time when Silsbee won 61-58. They controlled the tempo. Not so much the second time when Silsbee won 84-49. Tigers set the tempo in that one.

WO-S cannot win a "track meet" game against Yates.

Well let me take that back I meant teams that press like yates and Silsbee wos can handle it and usually can take care of the ball and won’t turn it over to much, that’s why they played Silsbee so close the first time, I don’t think yates press will hurt wos that much because they have the guards /athletes to handle it, HC game for wos is suspect that’s why lcm, OF, Vidor, gave them trouble because they didn’t press WOS and give them easy looks.

I hope you’re right.  It’s the inconsistency for me.  The Stangs have trouble even stringing together two good games.  But really hope they are turning the corner.  

all about what the other team does, if wos gets pressed they are fine if the other team wants to make it a track meet , wos struggles when they have to play a HC game and have to run an offense.

Agreed 

This will be a close game if wos has stud post 

22-4A is a tough district 

I think 22-4A from top to bottom is little tougher than HJ district, I say HJ by 8 in a slug fest!!
