Once again I will advise everyone to use caution hanging banners two or three years into the future. Strange things can happen dealing with 16 year old players in pressure situations. Silsbee has a very good club, one that should be in the mix for a title. That being said there's lots of basketball still to be played this season.

Where in the world are the Jrs and Srs in a 5A school ? Tough district to compete in with Freshman and Sophomores.

I thought he was saying Buna won by 10+, I knew the game was already played lol

The 4 pt play late in the game seemed to light a fire under the Hawks. I have seen more than a few of those missed slams come back to haunt teams over the years.

Buna has a pretty good young coach too.

Last night I watched a very concerning commentary on Social Security. Seems the plan is to curtail benefits to those who have managed to build their own nest egg. It also is to push back the age that those under 50 will be able to draw benefits. The reasoning is that the program is bankrupt. . For years people in this country were required to pay in to social security, those that were responsible also attempted to put back a little for a rainy day or for retirement ( savings accounts, 401k etc.) The people that will be punished for this blatant misuse of government funds are the very ones that have kept the system afloat for years !! How about the folks that spent the money, replace it. What ya'll think.

These cowardly young people should thank their lucky stars this young mans family hasn't located them. Some things just call for an eye for an eye !!

They gotta couple that can fill it up .

Someone must have let the air out of the ball

He is legit !!

Looks like another good field this year . I look for Oak Ridge to come out of Pool D but I could be wrong. Not sure what Chapel Hill or Tatum has this year.

Hardin Jefferson 79 Laredo Nixon 73 Final OT Hawks finish 3rd at Aransas Pass.

Duane will figure it out I'm sure but it's going to be a challenge. There isn't enough depth or speed for them to play the pressure defense that have always been known for. They have two pretty good shooters but they pull it from way behind the arc. They have a decent high /low post combo but can't seem to get them the ball. I do know tired legs make a world of difference shooting the long ball. I didn't see anyone on their JV that was ready to move up and only 7 suiting up for the varsity. All that being said they are still probably the favorite to win the district . It will be a good game when them and Buna play.

Depth is going to be an issue for the Lions this year. They need a few days off.

The Tigers are good but rankings in week 2 and $ 4 bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Early season rankings in high school basketball usually aren't close. Silsbee deserves to be where they are or up a notch. Wagner, I don't know anything about.

The big kid got in early foul trouble and #2 and #4 both fouled out. Shots weren't falling it got outta hand early in the 3rd. Huffman has a good ball club. They shot a heck of a % from behind the arc tonight.

Kountze looks like they may not have the speed to press this year. They got in foul trouble early and missed some really LONG 3's . They are playing right now on dead legs. The first time I've ever seen them drop back in a zone in the first half and I have been watching them a long time.

Dang, I didn't see this one coming

This tourney lay out makes it tough to go see multiple games, long breaks between them.

This one suprises me ??

Just one more thought because I have never seen the young man play . Normally a player with D1 capabilities makes everyone around him much better. In a small school environment that usually translates in to wins. I wish this young man the best and hope he does sign a D1 offer, the assistance that will give him in getting his education is priceless.

I'm going to try and check out Kountze and Huffman this afternoon, if I make it over I'll update what I can.

Yes #4 Best player on team, IMO. He was the best player Kountze had, he was solid last year. The kid that surprised me was the big kid that played down low. Never saw him before and he did everything he was asked. He doesn't look polished by any stretch but really played smart when he got in foul trouble. Rebounded, took charges and scored when he was called on to do so.He is going to help them.

Not a lot of D1 prospects in Southeast Texas. No disrespect to any of the area players but it takes a really good baller to even get a D3 look. Some folks misunderstand a mailbox full of flyers for offers. There's a YUGE difference to quote Trump lol.

Kountze has a bigger kid playing the post that did a nice job for them last night I hadn't seen before. The long ball wasn't falling for them like it normally does and that hurt them but they will be solid again as usual. I didn't see many JV players that would be able to contribute on the varsity but Duane gets all the 7 on the varsity have to give.
