Silsbee's Joe Sigler to retire..... Silsbee is open

[MR. Put Me In]

This was an athletic decision; if you see it differently, then never mind. He is zoned for Westbrook but chooses to enroll at BU because they believe he has a better opportunity there. Westbrook still boasts the best guard in the southeast Texas and Houston area. It would have been exciting to see the two of them in the backcourt together. The big question, however, is whether he’ll be able to play.

Yep" it's all about winning a ring. And BU will be top dogs in 5A now that they have him ..! The starting 5 will be dynamic. #1 big in the state will be in that starting 5..!

Man you still have to coach, yea they will have a nice starting 5. But I don’t see them just coming off and just dominating. Peyton Jones has had the green light in Silsbee. BU have the 6’9 maybe 6’10 when season starts will he get his touches will the team play like a unit. Like I said you still have to coach and put them in the best situation to win. They said that this year about BU and look what happen!!

I don’t think nobody thought going in last season thag BU would be better than WB ! But WB lost ALOT & BU basically bringing back their whole team plus the additions of Jones and Coleman son ! A better WB team last year struggled with BU …

Shhhhhh don’t know who you was talking to but that’s all I seen Bu this Bu that. When Brook played them in the YMBL green tried to run with them and got blew out. Then the next 3 games he slow played it to not let it get out of hand. Brook never struggled all we did is adjust to what they was trying to do and our HC out coached green everytime. True losing 7 seniors is a lot but one thing I can say when you got the best guard that makes players better around him. Dont go to sleep!!! Hell we was underdogs last year so we fine with it again this year!!!

I don't know what folks you are talking about but I had West Brook winning district and United finishing 3rd in my preseason picks.

Also, TABC had West Brook winning district

West Brook was favored by almost everyone from the end of 2024 season on.

Yes the guards will be a lot more experienced and bigger this year with Coleman and Jones. That was their problem against West Brook and their bigger guards. They could very well start 3 players over 6’5 and then Jones at 6’2. Coleman is smaller but he is stout and he has high level varsity experience. United will have the chance to go back to back.

I don’t think green got outcoached I just think Mike T had the way better team! Looking @ those rosters last years the fact that Green even made those competitive and worth watching is crazy !

I 100% agree.

Coach Thomas did an excellent job but so did Coach Green. BU was so much more younger than WB. Wasn't even close in that regard.

[Jack of All Trades]

How will Jones leaving affect the district. I think my Stangs are going to be pretty good and Bridge City has to be favored. Right now I think it shakes out to be 

BC, WOS, Silsbee, and Vidor

[Jimbeaux2023]

What is Loyalty? Jones would have been a star at Silsbee again had he stayed and they could have lost every game. Jones is a phenomenal player but can he take the unselfish route? Is that why he enrolled at BU and not WB, to not be outshined by Garrett? I hope that is not the case but we shall see. I hope the ruling is in favor of Jones and he makes a great showing at BU. The kid will get noticed no matter what, I just hope this does not backfire.

Good Luck Payton!! Ill be cheering for him at United. Hate to see him leave Silsbee but I understand.

I dont know if Silsbee makes the playoffs honestly

I got them finishing 2nd behind BC.

Silsbee losing Jones along with Rice, Boulwen, Shoulders and Gaines who have graduated, along with a HOF coach in Joe Sigler retiring, will set the Tigers back a bit. But not so much to have them missing playoffs.

I believe Silsbee JV won district and the varsity has 7 returners (1 starter)

Getting the right fit for coach will be very instrumental in the success for next season.

Will silsbee “faithful” be realistic (understanding and gracious) to new coach? 
they ve had down years before but they had sigler

Some fans won't because they are fanatics and don't have logic and reason.

It's been a very long time since Silsbee has been down (meaning struggling to make playoffs). Been a historical run for Silsbee these last 20+ years. Next year and year after will be the time to get your licks in on Silsbee. But Silsbee has too much talent in their gyms to be down long.

I like you using the word "realistic" because this run has been unrealistic to many many teams. A fan base can definitely get spoiled from these kind of runs.

I really think this hire is the key to continue Silsbee's rarified success.

Have they finished interviews?
