They had to adjust at the beginning of this season: new season, changed responsibilities, Arceneaux is gone, etc.  They should be fine now.  Deal with eve playoffs when they get here.

I dont know if Silsbee wins more than one game in this Tournament. This is a Elite 6A/7A/Private School Tournament..

My aunt, my mom’s sister, & my uncle met in the hall at Wheatley high school. Jackie Carr was their class mate. I spoke to him briefly at my uncle’s funeral a few years ago. Coach Carr was still driving & getting around then.  I am not sure about now.

It seems easier to move from one D-1 school to another than from one high school to another, depending on the school, coach, player, etc.  
If the student wants to move and be with relatives in another town, and he is willing to be restricted to JV ball to do so, then they should let him move on.

HISD has problems, administrative problems, for years. I don't have the knowledge or expertise to say what exactly the root of the problem is.  Alas there was a stereotype of some coaches that was around  back when I spent a year and a half in HISD schools. It was the legend of the roll out the ball coach.  Not at all schools, not all coaches, but some.  This type coach was assigned to an inner city school, that had low morale, and unmotivated students & teachers.  The roll out the ball coach would split his players into two teams and then roll out the ball and let them run, back and forth.  Street ball style.  Meanwhile the coach is marking days off on his calendar until he could retire. 
I think saw such a team once.  Silsbee was playing in a tournament at the now shut down Smiley High School. Yates was in that tournament.This was the Silsbee team with Thad Holden, Arline, Herb Sapp Jr, etc.
That JY team was loaded with talent.  They ran, threw down some attention grabbing dunks then run out of gas and lose. This was a year or two before Coach Wise took over.
The roll out the ball mentality is still around apparently, to some degree.

Based on his dad & brothers he will.

Don't want to digress too far, but all this reg 2 talk got me thinking about FW OD Wyatt. I checked and they are in region 1. They could conceivably make it to SA.  Maybe even win it all.

Agree 

Miller has a thing for hitting clutch shots.  That’s the 4th of 5th time I’ve seen him do it. He can be shooting ugly all game, but if a win is on the line he will hit it.

Isn't turkey less fattening than beef and pork?
At least that's what my wife tells me when she suggests cooking turkey burgers.

I saw Jerry Ball play for Hebert back in the 1980 playoffs.  He was a Soph.  Still have the program.  

I saw the first season Beaumont Westbrook beat LD BELL in a state championship game in the Astrodome.  Westbrook had Jerry Ball playing fullback. I think their QB was named Landry. And they had a speedy half back, whose name I don’t recall.

As is said hindsight is 20/20.

Five years or so ago, before I retired, I was given a dps regular truck an told to go work in Bryan Texas for a week. That office was no where near as busy as my office in Houston, so I was working but also conversing.  I talked to some strong Tx A&M alumni.  I mentioned coach Kevin Sumlin just to seee the reaction.  Sumlin was in limbo then.  You could sense it was a matter of time before he would be gone. I felt that he, Charley Strong and the UT basketball coach got their jobs on the coattails of prez Obama. I don't have a picture posted but those that know me know I am African American. 
I am not trying to go political with this, just giving background.  The TX A&M alumni were all adamant they wanted Sumlin out and replaced by someone better. Sumlin went on to bomb at Arizona, but that's a whole nother Oprah Winfrey show.  Needless to say neither I nor the alums I talked to foresaw the fiasco in A&M football that happening right now.

Guy on Facebook, Melvin Dews raised an interesting scenario.  The Univ. of Texas created the UIL  So there is a definite connection between the two.   When the appeal was still unresolved UT was in the running to recruit Anthony Black.  Black chose Arkansas. The appeal did not go in his favor.  If Black had chosen to take his basketball skills to UT would the result of the appeal still be the same?  Probably, but who knows for sure?   Interesting question just the same. 

Looking at the map I see Dobie HS is not that far from the church I attend.  Place that in the for what it is worth file.

I am predicting with Silsbee going deep in football, Silsbee basketball will have a sub .500 record going into district play.

The current star player always gets the praise.

I hope U of H so he can team again with Arceneaux…

Just last season Vidor put up 51 points on Silsbee.  What has happened is they probably lost some valuable senior leadership, and thus the team is down.  It happens all the time.
