I really like both clubs, but jesus the score was 60-44 last year.If theres not more defense someones gonna have to change the lights in the scoreboard.Should be a fun game to watch,hope our kids have a bye that week.

Sounds like your trying to convince yourself.I hope you do well this year.Good luck

That would be a tough place to coach, wonder who will take that program over ?

Warren shoots it pretty well.That can be dangerous.Don't overlook Deweyville,they will be able to shoot it pretty well this year with Caleb back in red.I honestly don't see anyone going thru the district next year without at least 2 losses.The top 3 from last year I think will be the preseason picks for the playoffs but Hardin,Deweyville and Anahuac are all capable of upsetting anyone in the top 3.There is gonna be some pretty good ball played in 24aa next year.

I heard they were trying to push it back a couple of weeks.Can't verify this yet but it had something to do with the AAU coaches and the NCAA recruiters?????Still haven't heard anything solid.Help Coop ??? ??? ???

I have watched Silsbee several times this summer and they are gonna be very good.They will look like they are playing in a mirror when they play HJ because they both have the same kinda atheletes and will really get after it on defense.I think HJ is gonna be a little deeper from what I've seen but these 2 games are gonna be fun to watch.These 2 will be heavy favorites to play for the 21-3a title.

Warren lost Esway and Granger who will be hard to replace.West Hardin lost a ton of folks who will be hard to replace.Copeland will do well at the QB but the Oilers will miss Simmons.The game between the 2 last year came down to extra points,Warren couldn't kick one(they lost 3 games that way).Warren came up empty several times in the red zone.This year the game will be played in Warren,thats why I made them the favorite.They will be solid again defensively and return 7 starters on the offensive side.Other than working on the passing game I wouldn't put much emphasis on 7 on 7.

I think JCovan is out for the summer.The PAHeat will still put a good club on the floor.Not sure if ground zero still has a club but they have some local kids who are pretty solid.SETX SLAM will also be playing in it.They are pretty solid if they have there big guys.They have Bernard,Fontenot,Guillory,Weldon,Payne and McNeely from HJ.Malbrough from West Brook.Sims from Warren and Ward from Lumberton.Moten and Savoy from Ozen.Not sure who is coming from out of town hopefully it will be a good tournament.The first one was pretty good the last couple have been down a little.Overall some pretty good ball to watch.

Kountze's defense will be solid but I don't think it's anywhere close to what is has been the last 3-4 years.There chances will depend on how Brey matures.EC matches up very well with them at the post and Tramain is the best guard in the district.Plus EC has already proven they can compete.I hope I'm wrong but I'm afraid 24-aa goes thru Winnie this year.

They still could, HJ is the best small school team in this area.While Donahoe was one of a kind Burell,Bernard and Fontenot can all score.Add Weldon,Payne,Lil Stevie and Sungren and you have a very solid group of guards.While it is impossible to pick top 10 teams in July,my small school top 10 would start with HJ. 1-HJ 2 -Silsbee 3-EC 4-WOS 5-Kountze 6-Warren 7-Big Sandy 8-Newton 9-Woodville 10-Spurger I don't know enough about the big schools other than Ozen,Memorial and Central to even rate the big school guys but this would be a pretty accurate small school poll.Not sure of Kelly's enrollment but they would be one of the better small school clubs if thats where they went.

Your lookin at Kountzes team from last year,this group doesn't even compare.I have got to watch the HJ team alot this summer and they are gonna be solid.I think the Kountze HJ game may be a 25 point contest but Kountze would be on the wrong end of the score.No disrespect to West Hardin because Copeland is gonna be a special player but I haven't seen anyting to go with him.They will struggle big time as defenses concentrate on him.The SETXSLAM( which is mostly HJ players along with Paul Sims )played West Brook earleir this year in one of the hoopinsider tourneys and beat them without Burrel or Sungren.Bernard,Burrell and Fontenot can all go for 25 on any given nite.Its hard to combine 1-a thru 5-a and get top 10.I like Warrens chances in the 1-a thru 3-a top 10.I think EC has to be the small school team to beat this year.

Alot of the kids that contributed to that 36-7 route walked across the stage in May.Players like Simmons and Letsinger don't come along everyday at the 1-a level.Should be a real close game with HD having the advantage in speed.

This kinda surprises me.Don't know anything about Mr. Henson but I don't recall Timpson being a power.There were a couple of REAL good head coaches looking at this position and a pretty good assistant already up there. Wish the best for the new coach and Brookeland but I didn't see this one coming ??? ??? ???

HJ beats everyone on this list except Ozen and possibly Memorial if JCovan is healthy????????????

Vance McDonald-EC He has all the tools,played the late part of last season with a banged up shoulder but should have a great year with Thomas keeping the defense honest with his speed.

Not trying to down Kountze here but I don't think they were tied with Deweyville and Warren.EC,Deweyville and Buna were the playoff teams last year.Buna and Warren played at Buna the last game of the season for the last playoff spot.I wouldn't overlook Warren this year,they had some some key losses at QB and RB but they won't be bad.They had a big lead at Deweyville last year before some key injuries slowed them in the second half.Anahuac will also have someting to say about the playoff positions.EC is the favorite here the rest are to close to call.Kountze has as good a shot as anybody.

3-2 I don't see em beating Buna or Kountze this year.

You get several with an attitude like J Ward you'll start turning that thing around.Hard worker who gives everything he's got.Bottom line is thats what it takes.The teams that will be successful in December are the ones working the hardest right now.Lumbertons biggest step will be learning to win ,once they take that step they may surprise some folks.I hope they do win ,that would be a lot of fun to watch.

I saw Marsh listed in Dave Cambells magazine, is he playing football this year??Do they still have there kicker?

I don't see em beatin Warren at Warren.What am I missing about Hardin.I didn't see a whole lot from the Hornets last year.Just asking because they took some pretty good thumpins last year.

Warren lost 3 last year, 1 point to Groveton , 2 points to West Hardin and in Overtime to Woodville simply because we couldn't make an extra point.Did't matter who was kicking we were snake bit,What coulda easily been a 7-3 season wound up 4-6.Tough year for a pretty decent club.

With the kids they lost that may be a bit optimistic.I think 2-4 may be a whole lot closer.

Central doesn't win this game in either year, this year or last year.HJ is gonna be a whole lot better than some you are giving them credit.They will score off the "D"this year and will have more guards than Buckingham Palace ;D ;D ;D

I have the utmost respect for both the Kountze and EC programs but I don't think either will have an easy time sweeping the Warriors next year.EC will return the top player in the district and will have Vance to help down low, Kountze has tradition on there side but the Warriors return lots of folks off a pretty decent club.Plus they match up pretty well with both clubs and in high school ball its all about the match ups.Kountze has dominated the past few years on pressure "D" and that part of there game isn't as strong as it has been in the past 3 or 4 years.I think this district is gonna be real close in the 1-6 spots.

Surely there goal isn't 3rd, this district is gonna be pretty close top to bottom.Deweyville will be pretty good this year,they will miss Bass on the boards but other than that they should be pretty solid.As long as everyone stays healthy.
