  1. 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.
  2. I'm going to try and check out Kountze and Huffman this afternoon, if I make it over I'll update what I can.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Anthony Manning and James Brannon were two of the best I ever saw come out of Kountze. Always liked Roman Walkers game to.
  7. First time I had seen this young man play and I was pleasantly surprised. Worked really hard on the boards and played pretty good defense. He looked like he was going to do pretty well.
  8. If they won state, everybody they played once the playoffs started
  9. The Hawks look like a club that is really having fun playing together. I'm sure there will be some growing pains as always with young teams but they have a ton of potential. Looked like a well balanced group 1-10 from what I saw. Defensively they looked pretty quick , they will be fun to watch.
  10. Some kids really develop between their freshman and sophomore years. I would bet that any group that went undefeated as freshmen will be pretty darn good playing in the later time slot.
  11. Prayers sent for a fine young man!!
  12. Congrats Hawks !!
  13. Good Job Coach Dubois and the BC Cardinals !!
  14. When you get beat 58-12 it runs a little deeper than not getting the plays in.
  15. Let's not forget a lot of Phelps gold medals were in the relays . He is a great athlete no doubt but all of his gold's were not individual accomplishments . We will probably never see the likes of his accomplishments again.
  16. The market is a tricky animal to say the least. Artificially low interest rates and the Feds decision not to raise them I believe are pushing the market to new highs. The catch 22 is the economy is so sluggish the feds are afraid to raise rates right now for fear of throwing us into another recession. The chickens will come home to roost when the rates are raised and the market will adjust downward. The upside to that is it will be a time to buy .
  17. Very good move on LCM's part !!
  18. And so 103 innocent people were shot and the one criminal had a gun. I'm willing to bet you will see pretty much the same scenario if the assault rifle is banned . The criminals who want to prey on the unarmed law abiding folks will still have the weapons to do it !
  19. Lord Blue Dove there are places in Deep East Texas that make Irving street in Beaumont look like Sesame Street. Looking at the phone call transcript today it was a little over 3 hours from the time the first shots were fired until the gunman was killed. The majority of the people killed in this senseless attack were young males. I would have like their odds a lot better had a few of them been armed.
  20. It certainly wouldn't have been 49 and 54 .
  21. No one knows 100% what they would do in a hypothetical situation. I do know there have been times in my life when I received calls where neighbors or loved ones were in danger and called me. I can tell you I answered the phone and went to their aid. Even better chance if I stayed crouched in a stall I would be shot any way. Given those two options I'll take the gun every time. If you choose to stand by and watch people shot that's your decision . Who is right ? We will never know, hopefully.
  22. The gunman in this incident reportedly not only reentered rooms and shot victims again to make sure they were dead. Text and called multiple people while the carnage was going on and even stopped and washed his hands as many as 3 times during thing this attack all the while multiple people were hiding and gunned down in bathroom stalls. Had I been armed and in the club I would have done my best to take this coward out, he apparently presented several opportunities. I was raised in a home where guns were a tool, we were taught to "aim small, miss small". Hard for me to imagine 1 person being able to shoot 103 innocent people and not be confronted.
  23. You may want to pull that site up and look at it again . There are some glaring omissions , most notably the Freeway shootings in 2002 that I believe claimed over 20 victims.
