Best Player Ever

I remember Catt, and he was unbelievable, I am not familiar with the other guy. Were they All-State players as well?

I don’t believe so - Catt for sure was not.  All 3 mentioned from OF were really good ones. I’m biased toward the cousins, Ragusa and Catt, but I’m also very fond of the Farias brothers.  I will say that Chris Ford is a name that is thrown around a lot in the community as one of the best but he was before my time here.  However, someone who grew up competing against Chris and whose opinion I respect told me Ragusa was better.  I gotta go with him because he is very familiar with both and most of us tend to inflate the “good old days” over the present. 
 

Now give us your EC pick!  I’m partial to 3rd but that choice will almost be as tough as Silsbee and Kountze.

For Silsbee, if you had to debate it would be Darrell McArthur, Bre Bush, Devin McCain,, Chris Miller, DC Stallworth, and Thad Holden. You could also debate Jared Harris, Jordyn Adams, and Damon Bush. Silsbee is one of few schools that it seems like every few years has a dominate hoops player. There are about 15 guys I left off that would be the best player ever on many local schools like Chris Martin, Lewis Arline, Shannon Robinson, Chris Elam, and James Hunter.

Deweyville Pirates.  1.  Bimbo Wilson, 2.  David Wilson, honorable mention Hunter Estes.

Bimbo is definitely in the decision, Dick Davis was pretty dang good from what I was told. Not sure who David Wilson is. Hunter isn’t even the top 10.

Yes I’m telling you he isn’t Top 10 of all time players in Deweyville. Hunter was a very good player but he is not top 10

If Bush had taken after his dad in height, we might not need this conversation for Silsbee.

The upcoming freshman will be in the conversation in a few years.

I have a hard time picking anyone but Braelon.  But I also have never seen the older guys (MacArthur, Stallworth, etc) play so I’m definitely not qualified to vote.  Of the guys in the last 15 years, Bush would be my pick but if this year’s team could win it, I might go Harris.  Always was very partial to McCain.  His game against Carter for all the marbles was one for the ages.  But for a similar performance by Bush against Yates, I might even have Devon up top.  But Bush’s career numbers would have to make him my choice from the recent guys.

I would have to say McArthur then Bush. Both seemed to be able to score at will and also played great defense. The others are definitely top tier, but these two stand out to me. From what I have seen from the freshman Jones, if he grows like the rest of his family, he could easily jump in the conversation.

Freshman Payton Jones will make a big impact this year. Harris could end up being completely unstoppable.! Especially after what he has been playing and how he has been playing. You most likely going to see great amazing things from him this year. But as of now I" would haft to say Bush. 🤠

I get that Harris is a high major basketball player and Miller is going to play football, but Drelon is absolutely better than Harris right now.  He's got to be Silsbee HS best athlete ever.

Before he blew out his knee Michael Dabney was the best I've seen play for Silsbee.  I wish there was film to prove my point.  

 

I was at a recent thanksgiving showcase at a gym on Houston Episcopal high school. I was watching BU play somebody.  I was talking to this old PA Lincoln player.  I was telling him about the great PA Lincoln teams, and players.  He quickly shot right back "man but that Michael Dabney for Silsbee was a beast!"

True story..

David Brown, Michael Dabney.  

David Brown was 6'8", HS all American.  He played in the NCAA final four for Memphis.  May he RIP.

David Brown was good friends with James Hunter.  Both were class of 1972.   Michael Dabney was class of 1975.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
