PATS cost us 3 games last year and were the difference in the kountze game this year.This is the one part of Warrens game that disappointed me because there were several kids on the team that could kick,it just never was worked on.Hopefully the boys can play hard the last 2 weeks and make the district a little closer for some teams on the bubble.

Not much different from Warren.Both clubs dresses 19 players on friday.I think Warren has about 35 more students but most are in the freshman class.Its the biggest class by far in the high school.

I haven't seen HD since last year but I got watch Spurger and WH both alot this summer and Spurger is the better of those 2 clubs.Of course anything can happen when it's game time so they always have a shot.Copeland is a very good player but his role is going to change drastically this year.

Refresh my memory.Didn't EC win that game pretty convincingly ???.Kounte is improved this year,but there still not a playoff team.

To beat EC you will have to contain Thomas,notice I said "contain" not stop.Most of his plays are of the break away variety.You think you have him for a short gain and the next thing you know you are looking at the back of the #1.Swarm to the ball you gotta chance ,unfortunately for the Cougars I don't think they have quite enough defensive speed to do that.The Cougars have a tremendous team but I think the speed of EC wins this one .Now when you get in the playoffs everyone geys a little faster.

This had been brewing all week.Its a shame to see good folks act like this.The Colmesneil atheletic program has really taken a down turn in recent years.Congrats Chester on the win.

Kid made a super catch in double coverage right before the half.He got hurt on the tackle which occurred at the 2 yard line.I am a diehard Warrior fan but you had to feel for the kid.The injury didn't look good,you could tell when he came off the field the shoulder wasn't where it was supposed to be.

Congrats Lady Warriors on being co-champs.This group has really developed througout this season.They don't look like the club I saw early in the season.Several very good young players on this team,the future looks bright for the girls in Warren.Good luck tuesday night.

The film crew had some technical problems.I taped the tailgate party where I could watch the catch again and they didn't show it.Channel 4 was there also I don't know if they got it or not.Nash came up huge on that drive.Does anyone know how the Folsom kids arm is?It didn't look good when he left the field at halftime.Hope he's OK.

I may know more about them than u think.Really though I base my opinion more on Sabine Pass' club than I do WH.The Oilers lost a ton of talent but still have a couple of pretty good players,I honestly think thats enough to beat Sabine Pass.

The only thing that could keep West Hardin from beating Sabine Pass is another hurricane : : :.

Both these teams have nothing to be ashamed of.They both suited out less than 20 kids last nite so just about all of them went both ways.The 2nd half was as hard of hitting as you'll see in 2-a ball by both clubs.A high snap on a punt by the Warriors and a fumble by the Pirates on the goal line late in the 4th were about the only mistakes I saw.This was really a well played game.

Cmon cat you can't hide em but 3 more days,they start practice Wednesday. ;D ;D ;D

Copeland really doesn't have any glaring weakness,it's all about numbers with him.He has a great shooters touch and handles the ball well on the drive.He can finish off the dribble.His problem this year will be having to do it against 2 defenders which is just about impossible.McKinney gives BS what every coach loves,a true big body who can play on the block or pop out to help when needed.He is a great rebounder and will get in the young guys ear when the game is at a crucial point.Seems to be very court smart and his supporting cast is pretty good also.I really hope WH pulls down a playoff spot but I just don't see it this year.

No problem Icky if we all agreed this board wouldn't be much fun.These kids have a lot of potential,they stayed in the gym all summer and played some real good competition.They won 24 games last year so I think they can be pretty decent.Chris always gets the best out of them.They will be fundamentally sound.Thanks for the luck wish,when your in a district with EC ad Kountze you can't have to much of that.

Got to watch both kids a lot this summer and while Copeland is a very good player the big kid from Big Sandy is ever bit as good.Tyler is a great kid but he has his work cut out for him this year,they didn't give him any help this summer.I didn't see much scoring potential other than Tyler.My biggest concern for them would be getting the ball down the floor against pressure other than Copeland they were pretty thin.

Thanks highsky ,I'm neutral in this game just goin by what I saw.Kountzes strength was the big fullback running the ball.If they don't turn it over they have a chance.The only way they beat Hardin is controlling the ball. Marsh is scary quick off the ball and has a definite advantage against Kountzes small corners.Warren passed the ball well against Kountze and Hardins passing game is quite a bit better than Warrens.

Good thing this wasn't a line in Vegas.Good ballgame to watch.Both teams played hard and in the second half there was some pretty good hitting going on.

Congrats guys on a hard fought victory.About the same kinda of game as last year very even and well played by both clubs.Warren ran the ball better tonight than they have since early in the season.Parker had a good game rushing as did Morris.Parker also kicked some PAT'S,something we've been needing for a couple of years.

I think Hardin has a little to much speed for the Lions. Hardin-35 Kountze-14.

Pretty even game but EC at home gets the edge.Tramain just has the wheels. EC-35 Buna-28

It will depend on how they do early.If they win they will draw a crowd.It will be extremely hard for them to win if they play the same schedule they did last year.

Stephen will get some minutes no doubt.He has all the tools.I don't know how they do it but Todd, Clay and the other guy find a way to get the manager some playing time.HJ is gonna be deep this year,thats gonna be there strength.They will be a lot of fun to watch.

Warren has 4 starters back off last years club and 7 of the top 8 returning.Kinney Granger and Jimmy Rawls were the 2 seniors on last years club.This years team strength will definitely be there ability to shoot the ball and there size.Paul Sims and Matt Andrews are arguably 2 of the best shooters in SE Texas.Travis Mcbee also shot lights out this summer.Add Caleb Swinney and Brent Nash and you have a pretty good club.They will also be pretty deep this year with Young,Riley,Huelett,Jennings and Swanson all getting considerable playing time.As a team the first 5 kids on this list shot 75% from the free throw line last year so that should also be a strength.They will be well coached by Cris Carter who has 2 trips to Austin,1 title and over 500 victories.Everyone tells them they can't compete but I'm not sure.Thats what makes basketball so much fun,throw it up and see what happens.

You gotta feel for Tyler.He along with the big kid from Big Sandy are definitely the best 2 players in this district.He had the luxury last year of being able to come off the screens and shoot the 3,unfortunately this year he will have to get the ball down the floor,set the offense and then try to score.Thats a pretty tall order when the defense knows you are the only scoring threat.You are right about finishing 4th though Copeland is good enough to beat HI,SP and Evadale with the JV boys helping him.I hope the Oilers do well though they seem like pretty good kids,if they can get fan support like they had last year that will be a tremendous help.Good luck to all the teams in this district.
