Not a good night for the Warriors.They had the ball inside Woodvilles 10 ,4 times and came up empty.Never looked like they were in sync tonight of course Woodville's "D" might have had something to do with that.Defense played pretty well but stayed on the field way to much giving up 2 late TD'S.Woodville was the better club tonight.

I may be wrong but I dodn't see anyone playing in the 80-90 point range this year .Warren does have some pretty athletic kids though.McBee,Swinney,Nash and Young can all get up and down the floor pretty quick.

EC is not a run and gun team either.I wouldn't expect Warren to try and run and gun with anyone.They will be very well coached and play to there strengths just as Kountze and EC will do.Both Warren and EC's games last year the scores were in the 60 point range.While Kountze did score in the 80's against Warren it was simply because they had the better club.They were hangin a 100 on everyone else in the district.When EC beat them they controlled the tempo and the score was in the 60's.My point is good basketball teams don't have to run and gun,they play to there strengths,just look at Ozen last year for an example.You may be right EC and Kountze may blow Warren out we'll just have to wait for the season to see.Just FYI EC and Warren have played 5 times in the last 3 years with EC having the edge 3-2.Kountze and Warren have played 2 and Kountze leads that 2-0.I think this district is gonna be close 1-6(sorry Buna) I wish it started today.Good luck to all the 24aa clubs.

I don't know many names on the Silsbee club except Shannon but I saw them play alot this summer.They will be solid again this year. HJ won't be far from where they were last year.While Donahoe was without a doubt special they will actually be quicker this year.They return Burrell,Bernard,Payne,Weldon,Fontenot,Guillory,McNeely and Sungren.Don't feel sorry for them,they will be fine.

I know the High Island kids are disappointed.That's a shame especially for the Seniors.I hope they get it put back together quick.

I believe it redfan but I guess technically I'm from Warren.They better not overlook this bunch.

Now thats funny,I don't care who u are.

He was the main piece of the puzzle.He averaged well over 200 yards a game and scored somewhere around 25 TD'S.No disrespect to this years team but thats hard to replace.

You could be exactly right.I think Hardin and Kountze have improved more than anyone knew.While Deweyville will be in the hunt I don't think they got better from last years club and the battle for 3rd was close last year.I think it's gonna be even closer this year.Any of the remaining teams could get the 3rd spot D-ville,Hardin,Anahuac,Kountze or Warren.Should be fun to watch for us fans.Good luck to all 24aa teams and I hope they all avoid the injury bug.

Silsbee did have a good defensive club last year.I think HJ is gonna fly to the ball really well this season.Josh Payne from HJ would get my nod as one of the best man defenders in the area.

If theres a tougher one I haven't seen it.The Lions are just about unbeatable there.

Warrens guards looks usually came off of screens.While I'll agree 100% that the game should be played inside out,the ball has to come back out when the defense collapses.That didn't happen last year.Warren had some excellent shooters last year who in some cases only took 2 or 3 shots a game,for them to be successful this year that can't happen.While Granger was definitely a hustler he didn't get many boards off missed 3's most of his offensive boards came on his own putbacks.Kinney was a huge part of that club last year but I think they will be better this year as a team.Regardless he was the only player that Warren lost and they return 7 of their top players.Should be a great race,the previous poster was right,it's Kountzes until someone beats em.

Silsbee,HJ for sure, not to sure about Lumberton this year they lost a ton of talent.The biggest surprise this year though will be the Lady Eagles from Woodville,you will see this group in the regional tourney this year and they are still young.

Please change your name or learn what your talking about.Paul and Sims are the same kid.Granger wasn't anywhere near Warrens most dominant player.While Sims hit a ton of threes he also went to the line 105 times and shot 82% from there so he must have been doing more than shooting 3's.Matt Andrews also played a big part in Warrens success last year ,even though he didn't play as a sophomore ,along with guards McBee,Nash and Swinney.Twelve total points seperated Warrens top 3 scorers last year,if they get the ball in there shooters hands this year they will be sucessful.They also shot 74% from the FT line as a team(not to shabby)Bray hasn't gone anywhere for the lions and EC still has the big dog in Thomas so this district will be fun.While anyone has a chance to upset anyone in basketball ,looking at returning players I think EC,Kountze and Warren have the strongest clubs.

You don't play em on film.Kountze by 3td's

I really don't think anyone is going undefeated in this district.Whats it gonna take to make the playoffs here.I'm saying 4-2 but someone may win a flip and get in at 3-3.From the early scores I think EC and Buna will be a war for the top spot,I also think Hardin and Kountze may have the speed to sneak up on some folks.Warren,Deweyville and Anahuac could also steal one on any give night.This is gonna be fun.

Warren has an enrollment of 301 as of last year and EC isn't alot bigger than that.Just a question here .Why would it be fair for Dville to play down at 1-A where they have 100 more kids than Evadale,but its not fair for EC to play Dville when they have less than 100 more than Dville.I'm confused.Fact is to get better you have to play up.The Pirates should be proud of making the playoffs the last 2 years but I don't think they have been a historic power in football.I wish them luck this year as I do all the 24aa teams but I dont think they have helped prepare there team for the district schedule thats coming.

If Woodville and Warren pitch horseshoes it will be a contest,to many close friends and families not to competetive.This game usually brings out the best in both teams.

Folks its all about SPEED and Tramain has it.It will be a close ballgame but the big plays will win it. EC-28 HF-20

Warren is a different club from the last 2 years but I wouldn't say they are down.Defensively they are light years ahead of where they were last year.While they don't have the marquis running back they had last year they are taking better care of the ball.In the season opener they moved the ball on the ground with Blackshear and Parker.I think we will see more of that as the season goes on.There are still some questions in the kicking game(as there were last year).The stat you can't argue with is this club is 2-0 against the same clubs as the last 2 years.I think both those team were 1-1against Huntington and WH.Woodville and Warren went to overtime last year and I would expect the same kind of game this year.This is a toss up but I'm goin with the home team. Warren-20 Wdvl-14

I don't think anyone knows who will make the playoffs in 24aa.There are some much improved teams from last year.I don't think Deweyville will be challenged until district starts and in my opinion thats not good for a playoff caliber club.They should have a good club this year but they didn't exactly manhandle the district last year.Not sure where all there district games are this year but things are going to be interesting this year for all the clubs on the road in 24aa.Good luck to the pirates and all the rest of the 24aa teams.

I don't think anyone has forgotten about Hardin,they will also be capable of beating anyone on any given night.Marsh is the real deal and Nolan will help but they will miss the little guard that graduated tremendously.

Thomas is solid as a dollar but he is gonna miss the outside presence of Guillory and the defensive help of Leday.Kountze will be very good but nowhere close to where they were last year after graduating 4 players who went on to college to play.Warren returns almost everyone off a pretty good club.Any one of these 3 clubs will be capable of beating the other on any given night.Should be fun for the fans this season.

They will be pretty good this year.They were young last year and will continue to improve.I think the have a legitimate shot at winning that district this year.Woden and Woodville both graduated key players.I look for a battle for the top spot from Newton and Corrigan ,just like the football district.

4 of these schools are in 24aa now so I'm not sure I understand the question.If they were in the same district now HJ would win it followed by Kountze.The rest of the district wouldn't be that strong.Hardin would probably get the 3rd spot.
