whsalum

These 2 clubs like to do a lot of the same things.Woodville is probably a little deeper but they aren't 20 points better.EC could easily win this one but I'm goin with Woodville by 6.

Congrats Ladies. Fontenot really turned it up a notch in the 3rd and Moore seems to be getting well at the right time.Overall it looked like the Lady Hawks were rounding back in to form tonight.

HD wins this one at home.

I think you were talking to the scouter ghost.I just wanted to check because I wasn't at this game.I saw 23 play at Spurger and he seemed to give everyone a lift with his "d" that night and also hit some big shots.He may be a better player coming off the bench but he looks to me to be a pretty solid player.

I quess if your just gonna have 2 that's 2 pretty good ones to have.I think they were both all state that year.Maybe the the times I saw this years club they were just having an off night.

I have watched a ton of basketball this season and I have to say the Lady Bucs are the most improved team I've seen on the girls side this year.Good luck ladies,you will see them in the next round ;D ;D

I think the game would be interesting from a matchup stand point.Fontenot is developing into a very good post player and Moore is as quick a shooting guard as there is in the state.I would drive to Sam Houston to watch that one.Hargraves is definitely a good ball player but I don't think she is the best overall player in the area.O-field,HJ,Central and Ozen all have some good ones and Silsbee has to have the most underated one I've seen this year.That girl can play.

I don't know anything about Coldspring other than they finished in a tie with Huffman who HJ beat by 20 plus earlier this year.All that doesn't mean anything this time of year.This game will probably come down to whether or not Moore is well for the Hawks.If she is they should win this one if not they have to change some defensive schemes which have been their strengths all year.If all the HJ girls are healthy Tuesday Coldsprings can throw their scouting report out the window.

KHSAlum 400,I totally agree with you.I hadn't looked at the UIL brackets,that's why I didn't comment on which team would go deep in the playoffs.My question was about comparing the 2 clubs in 07 and 09 and there is NO comparison.

Yes they did that's why I mentioned the seeding game because they split.However Kountze won the state title that year.In my opinion the team that I saw at the drum that year was one of the best 2-a clubs I've seen.

Dawg, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.I follow a lot of high school and college ball (probably watch around 35-40 games a year)and try to evaluate the clubs that I see.I saw the 07 club ALOT as they were in our district that year.I even saw the seeding game and the 2 games in the drum and that club was special.Night in and night out they could light it up.This years group I have seen 4 times and they have struggled each time I've seen them.They are normal for a high school club,they struggle shooting against the better defensive teams while the 07 club could shoot it against anyone.The 07 club would hang 100 on ya on any given night and did it on a regular basis.I don't mean any disrespect to this years team but the 07 KHS club was something special.

Dawg I usually respect your opinion but your evaluating this club with your heart and not your head.Look at your matchups here position by position.The 07 club was night and day better than this group and alot bigger.I've seen this years club several times and they just don't shoot the ball very well.Kountze has always beat people with a tough full court defense.The teams that handled the pressure in the past(EC-with Tramain)always played them tough.The team with Powell and Busby were state champs and this years group while pretty solid is a long way from that caliber.They do have a young club so they may grow in to that type team but they aren't there yet.

Well they don't have much of a choice I didn't say they had a choice,but they have to get there first.I meant they would be glad to get there. ;D ;D ;D

SP should be congratulated for making the playoffs this year but it will be tough for them to go much past the first rd this year.They have played some very close ballgames this year against teams that good playoff clubs would beat easily.I hope they surprise me and do well.

#23 should be starting on this club.He makes things happen on both ends of the floor.JMO.

Coach West is a class guy.You can't expect a playoff club to kill the momentum in the middle of a playoff run.D-ville is way to good of club for this,they just threw in the towel the last couple of games.I really thought they would get the 3rd spot after watching them early in the season.They have to be disappointed :-\ :-\

The coaches were never an issue at EC.However the strength of ,or lack of it ,is the main reason the Bucs are in.Congrats to the kids though,I was one of the doubters.I thought D-ville would get in this year but the Bucs definitely deserve the 3rd spot.Congrats Bucs

This Kountze club isn't as good as some of the past clubs.They are playing about as well as they can but are a lot smaller on the defensive side than in years past and don't shoot the ball as well as they have over the last several years.I think they will win a playoff game or two but I dont think they make the regional tournament this year.I think Anahuac will win the seeding game but I haven't looked at the UIL bracket yet.So I really can't predict how deep the Panthers will go,both clubs will struggle against New Waverly.

Diboll is a very good club but I'm sure the Lady Hawks would welcome the chance to play anyone in the regional tournament.

I went to Lumberton last night and remembered why high school basketball is the greatest game in the world.I would have to split the heart award between the young lady from O-field who split her head open and returned to finish the game and Latricia Moore, who battled a severe case of the flu all week and showed what true heart is all about.The officials were great.The coaches both did a super job and the crowd was in mid playoff form.The game was a battle between 2 evenly matched clubs who know each other very well.It's refreshing these days with so many players that have the "ME" syndrome to see young ladies that have a true respect for the game.The parents and the communties of these 2 clubs should be proud of these girls.They are a tribute to their respective schools.Good luck to both clubs in the playoffs.

Kountze will have the edge but it's a long way to Austin and lots of basketball to be played to even get the chance.Probably need to get the area round games out of the way before we start talking about the state tournament ;)

Good job ladies.The flu bug has had this club devastated,good to see them pull out the W with so many players under the weather.

This one surprises me, I thought the Pirates would come out ready to play with a shot at the playoffs on the line :o

Guess the TABC knew what they were talking about after all...rankings look right to me!!! ;D Let's use a little logic here(thats dangerous sometimes)HJ beats O-field by 17 and O-field beats HJ by 11 and TABC gets it right.I'm confused.If both clubs take care of business on Tuesday I' quess we can put this to rest.

They won't match up well with New Waverly, which is my pick to represent region3 in Austin.
