Kountze vs Whitewright Predictions?
whsalum replied to KFDM COOP's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
Kountze has that swagger back.I wouldn't want to have to play em right now.I don't know anything about Whitewright but I'm goin with Kountze by 10.The folks from Warren will be at the drum yelling for our 24-aa counterparts. -

whsalum replied to WarriorSports's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
I hope that happens.I saw first hand what it did for the basketball program.Let the folks hired to do the job do it.Still need some depth on the pitching staff.I haven't seen Hardin either,I just hope the young club can win on the road.That would be a huge step toward a playoff berth. -

whsalum replied to WarriorSports's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
It would be great for Warren to get this one on the road.Warren will hit the ball and score some runs.Don't know how long Swinney can go just a week out of basketball season.If Caleb goes into the later innings Warren will win this one.Is it a 4 o'clock start?Go Warriors Warren-8 Hardin-5 -
I completely agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why in the world would they let him get away.I didn't know he ever coached at WH.I was referring to what I saw over there this past seaon and last year.

Ancelot perfect idea for Lady Cardinals’ job
whsalum replied to KFDM COOP's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
We're good,I just wish my kids could experience the Montagne when you have to read your buddies lips to know what there saying.Hopefully the glory days will return.I would hate to be the coach that followed Mrs. Ancelot at O-field,she has done a very good job there. -
Just had to give kudos to some great teams from southeast Texas.All four are led by great coaches and super kids.On the nights my kids didn't play this year I had the opportunity to go and watch all these kids play.It makes me proud to be from Southeast Texas when I watch the way these coaches and young men handled themselves.As an old timer around here it is reassuring to watch the caliber of young men our area will be led by.Good job guys and thanks for the playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

Salute to EC's Eugene Leday & Preston Guillory

All-District 21-3A Girls Hoop Team
whsalum replied to KFDM COOP's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
It's sad to say but it's all about money at the small schools.The coach will have to accept several roles,some they aren' qualified to do.AE BB coach,spanish teacher,bus driver,custodian and on and on.I can promise you Mrs.Cruz has the knowledge to fix this if she has the resources.She has tremendous knowledge of the basketball game,maybe the AD should direct her to coach the volleyball and basketball teams.I guarantee the last few coaches over there don't know anymore about the game than she does.(Might want to get her momma to assist)

Ancelot perfect idea for Lady Cardinals’ job
whsalum replied to KFDM COOP's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
Bleed Orange, I think you and I are basically on the same page here.I watched 10,000 screamin fans when the ladies played Western Kentucky and 10,000 when the guys played Villanova.To be honest the talent pool isn't anywhere close now to what it was then.I agree the major recruits aren't coming here,thats where a major recruiter comes in.The campus has a lot to offer as well as the surrounding community.If your gonna build you start with a foundation and that will be the best players you can get from all over the world.Then you add your local players to add the home town element.Last years ladies from southeast Texas included Mattox,McGowen and Spears,all went to college to play.Mattox and McGowen are getting limited time at a D1 school while Spears is doing well at a Juco.I am not sure there are any girls in the area this year better than those 3.My response is in no way against Mrs.Ancelot or the local girls,it's just a plea for LU to look at the big picture before they make this hire.If LU put's a winner on the floor the fans will come,just look at the crowds the high school games draw.I'll agree with ya Orange,there was nothing like seeing Silk pull up and hit that 25 footer to put em on their feet. -
Ancelot perfect idea for Lady Cardinals’ job
whsalum replied to KFDM COOP's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
Don't get me started on Al Barbe.There were some good local girls on that club and there are some good locals here now.It's just unrealistic to think we could offer 6 to 7 locals scholarships and be the elite team everyone wants.The girls college game has evolved at an unbelievable pace.It's going to take a very energetic coach and a super recruiter to keep up.Mrs.Ancelot may very well be that coach,I just think Lamar needs to see who is out there before they hire.Good luck to Coach Ancelot and the Lady Cards whichever direction they go.There is nothing like watching the ladies when they have 10,000 screaming fans in the Montagne. -
Congrats Warriors.Playing to your competition is just a sign of youth.Warren has some solid seniors in this group and a good mix of youth.They will be pretty good this year if they don't have to go deep in the pitching staff.Very solid hitting club and lots of potential on the defensive side.Good luck Tuesday.Central didn't see that one coming.

Ancelot perfect idea for Lady Cardinals’ job
whsalum replied to KFDM COOP's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
Not saying these aren't great high school players because they are.What I was referring to was bulding a team that compares to the elite 8 club back in the 90's.It wouldn't be fair to compare these young ladies with that kind of talent.Just watch the teams from Tennesse,Duke,NC etc. and you'll see what I'm talking about.You couldn't give scholarships to 5 or 6 local girls and expect to be an elite team.While women's basketball is good around here we aren't that much better than the rest of the country.I'm not saying Mrs.Ancelot isn't the answer,I am just saying you gotta ask the question before you come up with the answer. -
EC vs Kountze Again Predictions??
whsalum replied to KFDM COOP's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
I really like both clubs, but its hard to beat a team 3 times when your evenly matched.Kountze wins this one in nail biter.Whoever loses this one has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of,2 really great clubs. Ktown-65 Runnin Bucs-61 -

whsalum replied to KFDM COOP's topic in SETXsports Archived Threads
I'll agree there are some local girls here that have D1 talent.You just can't get tunnel vision if your going to recruit an elite 8 team.I know Coach Ancelot knows that,we as local basketball fans may not.I sat in McDonald gym and in the Montagne Center and watched Lamar womens basketball when the crowds ran from 500 to 10,000 .I would love to see it return,I just think all applicants should be considered for the job once it's posted.As good as high school girls basketball is around southeast Texas,D1 stuff is a completely different world. -

Ancelot has done a remarkable job at Orangefield and knows what it takes to play at the college level.That being said I hope Lamar looks nationwide for it's next coach.If that happens to be Ancelot that's great but there are some really good candidates out there.There are some very good young ladies playing here in southeast texas,but we are talking about a D1 school here,recruiting will be the key to turning this program around and that won't happen overnight.Gotta get it started if your gonna get it done.
