[/quote] Long time? ;D Actually, Kountze played in the Evadale tourney last year, defeating Orangefield in the championship game 83-57. [/quote]I didn't go over there last year :)For several years it had a great field with Silsbee,HJ and EC playing in it every year.Kountze usually went up to North Texas to play in one on that weekend.

Kountze will win this one going away.It's been a long time since they played in the Evadale tournament.

I said they weren't accurate.It's impossible to get an accurate poll after 3 games.They shouldn't even put a poll out until mid December.

If the polls were accurate and you had 2 teams in the top 10 that's a ton of respect.These preseason polls aren't very accurate.The one at the end of the season will be a whole lot more important and a lot closer to being on the money.

When will they get Grayson back in the shooters hole?Lots of stuff will open up when that happens.Gus can put pressure on the defense but they have to have someone knock down the shots when the defense collapses.Persohn looks like he is getting adjusted to the basketball court(he was getting in foul troubleway to quick) and the freshman is gonna have a few growing pains along the way.That being said HJ will even it's record in this one. HJ-80 Anahuac-65

I've seen Silsbee twice this year and Ozen once so I probably will check out someone else Tuesday but this may be the best game of the night. Silsbee-83 Ozen-81

You don't get better by cancelling games.I can see bumping one back from Monday to Tuesday but you may as well get started asap.

That's more like it.Ya'll are gonna have a fine club,let everybody know it !!!!!

Sounds about right.Where are the Spurger folks?They sure have been quiet so far this season.

Great to see Lin doing well over there, he is a class act both on the floor and in the classroom.

They got eliminated Friday.This will give them one days practice at least.

I'm gonna have to flip a coin this week because there are some really GOOD games on this schedule !!!!!!

They are as quick an overall club as I've seen in a long time.They aren't very big but they do attack the basket and have several kids that can shoot it.

HJ will be fine when the get some shooters well.They look like they have walking wounded everywhere you look.

Stallworth solidified his status as one of the best players in our area tonight.Kountze has the potential to be pretty good this year if they get someone to step up and take over the leadership role.They have some solid underclassmen and several kids that can flat out shoot it.Silsbee didn't look like the same club I saw last Tuesday,I think they were lookin forward to this one.

Sounds like a pretty special group on both ends of this thread.

He doesn't get up much regardless.He did get up a few times to question calls but doesn't make many real time adjustments.Woodville always has some good atheletes but they don't put much emphasis on the roundball.

I think Silsbee was looking to the Lions on Tuesday when they played Woodville.They will have to play much better than they did against Woodville to beat the Lions.

McGallion and Whittacre are solid and have been for years.I've never seen either one act like a primma donna.Bottom line here is someone is gonna have to step up and hit the long ball to keep folks from collapsing on Whittacre.This is where they miss Blankenship but don't give up on em yet they will be pretty good before the seasons over.

I'll agree with ya about #5 for Woodville,he is a player.Overall this wasn't a very well played ballgame.Tons of atheletes for the Tigers was the difference.They dominated the boards on both ends.Not many adjustments made by the Tigers to slow the Wdvl PG down but they were by far the deeper team.Woodville could develope in to a pretty good club but they are gonna have to come up with some schemes to help #5,looked like #12 may be able to contribute some but I'm not sure who else they can look to.

On the other end it's about having defenders RELEASE when their guards do.HJ was shorthanded on depth on friday night due to injury and and foul trouble and that allowed Kountze to score alot of easy baskets off the break.A big man is gonna have to really run the floor well to be a factor against them.After watching them a bunch this summer and on friday I think [b]HJ and Silsbee are probably the only 2 local small clubs that stay within 15 of them.[/b][/quote] You mean, beat them by 15. ;) [/quote]You know what I meant Ags  ;D HJ and Silsbee both will take the Lions but I don't see any other local small schools playing them close.

Tigers by 15. Silsbee-85 Kountze-70

You put your best players on the varsity squad PERIOD !!!!!! There are very few freshman or sophomores ready for the varsity but ocasionally you get one and when you do that's where he should play.The weight training should never be done on gamedays and during the week ONLY after floor work is finished.Shooting a basketball is an art and tired arms and legs don't let you learn to do it correctly.HF's basketball record should speak for itself,whatever their doing hasn't been working.

I could see a split and a playoff for seeding easily here.The only good thing about injuries is they give a lot of kids experience early that would otherwise not get much until the tournament pool play format.The Hawks are gonna be fine as long as the PG stays healthy.As good as everyone else is in the lineup ,he would be hard to replace.

LOL now that's funny I don't care who you are.They should still have a player to be named later in the Ashton Hall deal  ;D
