Still don't feel they will have the talent to compete with H-J or Silsbee,   but upsets do happen.....

How do you figure OF doesnt have the talent to compete with HJ or even Silsbee?  OF has Hayes, Granger and Evans (Gunstream coming back from injury too) all returning plus a JV that handled HJ's JV both times last year.  Would you take Turner, Ricossa, Gustafson? over Hayes, Granger and Evans?  Probably not so i dont know what you are talking about on that statement.  HJ lost 2 of their 3 best players which averaged 40+ pts a game last year.  Frankly, i expect OF to beat HJ next season and if they dont i'll be very disappointed.  I know recent history suggests OF beating HJ or even Silsbee would be an upset, but next year i dont think that will be the case if it happens.

First off I am a Silsbee fan,  and we have 5 players coming back which started a significant number of games for a team that was one of the most talented in 3A teams in the state .  And you want to use th JV this year as part of the argument,  so did OF JV  beat the Tigers?  Not to mention the size advantage we will have .

Now as far as Turner, Ricossa and Gustafson,  I would take Turner over any player  OF has.  And after watching Ricossa and Gustafson play at the end of the year,  I definately have no problem taking them as well.  Fans who did npt see these two at the end of the year are going to be suprised.  I am not doubting the talent OF has coming back just think it wouod still be an upset to take one of the top two spots from the Tigers or Hawks.

The HJ JV had five players on varsity by the time the season was closing including their game at Orangefield when 2 more players missed the game due to illness.  Therefore, the JV comparison was with the top 7 jv players missing.

Don't think jv has anything to do with it.  The guys that are coming back for OF were the top players just had alot of seniors on this years team so split alot of minutes.  The reason Ricossa and some of those guys had big nights was because teams had to focus on the scorers so of course they get some points, but they are not the ones that beat you.  Don't see much help from HJ jV as we beat them badly both times.  I agree that Silsbee still has tough team but not a lot of shooters or playmaker which allows you to sag on the big guys and force them to beat you from outside.  In the past they could do that, not so sure about this year.  Should be a wide open district with alot of splits.  JMO.

Blake Venable, Sean weldon, and will anderson were 3 other players that got more PT along with Philip, Jacoby, Grayson, and Garret. You add Joseph Persohn, Shaun Prudhome, James Morrison and Cale Corbello from the JV team and Freshmen team. Plus Trent Nobles got a legit amount of PT in the early part of the season. Philip, Grayson, Trent and Sean are straight Basketball players so expect them to gain more experience in Coach Sutherlands offseason. HJ will not suffer as much on the rebounding side as much next year.

I learned after the last two years not to doubt HJ ever again. Experience, Talent, Leadership etc...They always still get the job done. If they lack in experience next year then they still make it semi-final, if they lacked in talent they would go to regional final. It happen before. It all goes to the coaching staff, they know how to put there team together and play fundamental basketball. Silsbee has the talent year in and year out. They have the leadership and experience. No offense but the coaching method as far as the team goes compared to HJ coaches to player ratio is not as great. Brooks, Bush and Williams does a great job but HJ coaches has been head coaches at other school on different classification too. That where I see the edge goes too. HJ players has made it far because of thier coach. I was once informed that if Silsbee had Green from houston (a former coach of P.A and resident of silsbee) they could really go farther even though they do go far but state final is what I mean.

OF will always play Silsbee and HJ tough................just something about them getting really up for those two teams.  After what I witnessed at OF this year when HJ came to town I would not say that it is impossible for OF to beat Silsbee or HJ.  I still think when it is all said and done that Silsbee and HJ will be the top two and then OF will finish in 3rd.
