24-4a vs 23-3a

[ST413]

When realignment was announced and Silsbee and HJ were separated, there was discussion on which  district would have better games for these two.  I know some thought HJ would have a better competition but after last nights playoff results where our #4 seed played their #1 seed to a 13 pt game and our 3 played their 2 to a 3 pt game. I am not so sure that's the case.  I think our current district had a pretty good showing.

and the 23-4A's 3rd seed (Shepherd) has been moved to the Hudson, Huntington, Diboll and Jasper district. HJ's new district will be just a 5 team district with just 8 district games.

Ahhh so that one got a little weaker...

The problem is that Silsbee AND HJ are far and away the best 2 4a programs in this area.  To lose those two games with a playoff-type atmosphere is costly to both teams IMO.

1000000000% agree!!!

I am certain a non district game will be scheduled. Sigler stated he would play.

I bet it will get done then.  Davis has really beefed up HJ's schedule since taking over.  It's such a good, healthy rivalry it would be a shame to not play anyway.

Some would argue biggest games period.  Would have to be either Silsbee/HJ or Central/Ozen.

almost put biggest game of the year, but thought these two were pretty even.
