Athletic competition does both build and reveal character.These type issues can usually be traced back to whoever is sitting on the end of the bench.This isn't someting that just surfaces 20 games into the season,it's an issue that wasn't addressed and spiraled out of control.Nothing that happens on the BISD sports front can surprise me.This school district needs to get a grip and it needs to start at the very top.

You gotta lok at the total package at HJ. I got to take a quick tour of the school during HJ tournament and the new school is absolutely amazing.The only down side to the gym is seating size but it's no dump by any stretch.

Nobody in this district is even close to the Lions.I have watched Kountze several times over the years in Austin and have never seen them have trouble with the officials.I'll have to give Devin a little slack this year because his attitude is light years ahead of where it used to be.Make no mistake about the Kountze coach,he is the captain of that ship and regardless of what star is coming thru the program they know it.Duane is the real deal and the Lions are lucky to have him.

Yep, I guess the final is all that matters.I was hoping to see the same type game I saw there last year.I think two things have happened here.Spurger has matured as team and the Sharks aren't quite as good as they were last year.I think the strength of schedule has played a huge part in Spurgers success last night.After games against Cleveland and Silsbee the SP press had absolutely no effect last night.I stll think the Sharks will make the playoffs but it will be a battle for second if they don't get some type of offensive scheme that gets their two shooters some help off screens.

They need to recruit another McKinney  ;D ;D ;D

Dang my computer was down the last part of the week,I didn't know you started a pic em.

Gotta say I'm gonna miss the atmosphere of the old one but the new digs are certainly top notch.

We must have watched 2 different games.The Sharks have a couple of pretty good ball players but have no rhyme or reason on the offensive end.Spurger came out in a zone early and SP attempted to beat it off the dribble.When that didn't work whoever got the ball shot the 3.At about the 4 minute mark in the 4th the pirates were up by 20 and relaxed a little on defense.Sabine Pass hit a few 3's before the Pirates called time out and quickly went back up by 20.This could have easily been a 30 point game.The young guy on the Spurger bench does a great job of working a game.

Say it ain't so CATMAN.I don't know if I've ever seen Big Sandy at 0-2.They must be young this year.

If Ricossa is back at 100% the 2 games with Silsbee and HJ will be a lot of fun to watch.

Warren has absolutely no offensive threat this year.They play hard but are real small and don't shoot the ball well and thats a tough combination to deal with..

She should be gone , no questions asked.

I was at the playoff game last year and was impressed with the Indians but thought they abandoned the inside game which wound up costing them the ball game.The HJ/Silsbee rivalry always prepares those two teams for the playoffs.

Angie and Yoshika were 2 completely different type of players but if you flipped a coin you couldn't go wromg with either girl.They were both the type players you would love to build a team around.

In playoff basketball coaching is worth a 10 point swing and Silsbee gets the edge there.

Certainly a cheap shot.That young lady should be through for the season.

I didn't write it down but it was Evadale by a butt load.

This game wasn't as close as the final score.This is the first time this year I've seen the Sharks and to be honest I was disappointed.This club has several senior ballplayers but doesn't play team basketball.They repeatedly tried to penetrate the zone with the dribble and force shots in the first half.I thought McGallions ability to break down the defense and pass the rock was the difference in this one.Spurger is the clear favorite now in this district and Sabine Pass and Evadale will be closer than I thought it would be.

But the broadcast was outstanding  ;D ;D

Gotta disagree with ya on this one Lazeek.I knew Silsbee would win this one but Spurger and Legacy aren't even close to being the same caliber team this season.I think this game was more beneficial to the Pirates than the Tigers.They won't face anyone close to this the rest of the year.

[/quote] Well this tells me alot. The head coach is only in his 2 year and one of his assistances has never been around basketball untill this year. The head coach did take a team to the 2 round last year but I would not call that CONSISTANTLY. You had me going untill this post ??? [/quote]Just FYI I probably have watched EC more over the last 8 to 10 years than you have.I watched Chris Joseph,Preston Guillory,Tramain Thomas and both McDonald boys more than I care to remember and Coach Andrews was on the bench most of the time.So yea I would say he has won consistantly.

Thanks new school,you took the words right out of my mouth.I have watched EC for years and Coach Andrews and Coach Hargraves both consistantly did a great job year in and year out.They always played Kountze tough even though I always felt like Kountze had the better overall club.Fact is they know the game and how to get the most out of their players.Coaches want to win more than anyone so they will put the best players on the floor which isn't always popular with the mommas and daddies.

There is no sense trying to make these kids something there not.These coaches have consistantly took teams pretty deep over the years.They know what they are doing.Just relax and let them do what they get paid to do,they are pretty good at it.The teams that are beating EC right now are just a little better than they are, it probably wouldn't matter who was on the floor the results would be the same.

He deserves them,he quietly goes about doing his job and has for sevral years now.

Not bad for a club Dickie V said wouldn't even be competetive.
