Well, he is now on the 7 year clock…

On any given night. Throw Buna in there too. Basketball on all levels often boils down to whether you make shots or not. Obviously defense has something to do with it too but with some of these teams, that’s the big variable. At this point, it certainly appears EC is the most consistent team. Fortunately for them, that’s been a trademark of theirs for many years. I wonder what the constant is there?

What was up with that verdict? Any idea on how it will be handled? For those unaware, the Defendant was facing a minimum of 25 years and a maximum of life in prison due to 2 or more prior felony convictions (aka habitual offender). Jury sentenced him to 10 years (well below the minimum of the range they were given).

Won’t win games that ice cold. 25% would have tied game.

They beat EC but get blown out by Anahuac and Orangefield. Inconsistency is no surprise with super young teams like the Lions. As is customary, I’m sure that will improve as they gain experience. Good news is the ceiling appears pretty high.

Those nights are the worst…

Now let’s go live to @Mr. Buddy Garrity stirring the pot 😂🤣

That’s a fact.

Mitchell would have “Red Rovered” the heck out of that lead. You would have seen a whole different version of the “picket fence” that whole 4th quarter. Watch the Mustangs give Silsbee their biggest challenge in the 2nd half of district though (which could be simply less than 30 but still).

When shots are falling Kountze can beat anyone. When they aren’t, they will struggle (a la OF). I’ve thought EC was the second best team in the district all year but they got a comfortable win in Winnie. We will see how it goes Friday. But there isn’t a great margin between any of the top 5 teams in that district (adding Anahuac and Buna). Any can beat the other (even comfortably) on any given night.

I was thinking the same thing. I don’t remember wanting to go to a JV game where I didn’t have a rooting interest. I’m really tempted to go catch a Silsbee JV game. That group is about as dominant as it gets.

Kountze is about to be a problem again.

Ben Elliott with 23 & 10 to go over 2000 career points and become LCM’s all time leading scorer (passing Jason Throop). He’s certainly the best LCM player (in my opinion) since Throop.

He was and deservedly so. IF he’s not the best player in the district now, he definitely should be the next two years. But he’s putting up all state number as a sophomore. There are some really fun kids to watch in this district. Sells is probably the most exciting of the bunch.

Huffman is 0-3 now against HJ and HF (with HF winning by double digits on the road). Huffman also 0-2 against BC and LCM, two possible first round playoff opponents. I would say they are the best of the rest in that district but a notch below the other two. Definitely played the Hawks close twice though and should be commended.

Sounds like one of those gut check wins after a bit of a big game hangover. Wins like that build character. Good for the Hawks.

Big time win for your Lions. Basketball is better around here when Kountze is good.

It would be even funnier if it weren’t true!

Not for a while. Remi and Alex don’t have any kids yet to my knowledge and Garrison is the baby. I wonder how many they have combined. 12 years of varsity experience between the 3?

How much would our buddy Stevenash have enjoyed this one?

Yep - to be the man, you gotta beat the man.

Earl and Bubba are quietly sitting in a boat fishing, chewing tobacco, and drinking beer when Bubba suddenly says, “I think I’m gonna divorce the wife. She ain’t spoke to me in over 2 months.” Earl spits overboard, takes a long slow sip of beer and says, “Better think it over buddy. Women like that are hard to find.”

Fair enough 😂 Bums!
