Will only speak for Silsbee here, but in my opinion, the 2016 - 2017 Tiger team is number one in SHS history. 

Think about it: they lost one of their best players, Devin McCain, and STILL went on to win state.

Some may argue the mid 90s Silsbee team that was upset by Chapel Hill is the GOAT, but the bottom line is they didn't win anything.

Kenyon Spears!! 

kenyon came later. but that 1991 team may be one of the most successful teams in the history of Texas basketball when it comes to success AFTER high school. the entire starting 5 from that team earned their doctorate degrees in their respective fields, and the overwhelming majority of the rest of team has been just as successful. What are the odds that the starting 5 of a basketball team from a small country school would end up as 3 district superintendents and 1 assistant super intendent. One of those supers now is the head of the UIL, while another is the executive director of ATPE, Texas' largest teachers union. the only member of the starting 5 who didn't go into education is a successful orthopedic surgeon. A couple of guys off the bench that year are Clay Davis, a very successful coach (and now assistant principal) and Duane Joubert, a future Texas High School Basketball Hall of Famer. Neil Laminack is an assistant principal, David Underwood owns a successful business with over 100 employees, and Dr. Tim Rowell is a pastor in Flatonia (with another doctorate). The assistant coach that year was Todd Southerland, another all-timer in Texas HS basketball coaching.  it's hard to believe that one little team from a little school could spawn that much success.
