Yes and I think by double digits.

Yeah AAW might have found the game of the night. It’s a healthy rivalry game too.

This would have been the one I would have chosen tonight.

Wow! Sorry Buna. I jinxed you lol I will say I have no idea what either team looks like this year. Other than one kid for Buna, I don’t know that I’ve seen any other player for either team.

Chill out old heads! Let them boo! Let them boo!

I believe Tyler had a nice career playing in the trenches for Sam.

Yeah he was really good, especially for 6-5, 300.

Which kid? Ken is their best player, 6-7 wing but he’s a junior. McDermott is a 6-8 sophomore and also really darn good.

Heck those years where Kountze was stacked, Buna’s best player was an o lineman!

Lol the same dumb argument people make against Brian English. Would Joub have a state championship at Chester? At Vidor? All I am saying is one has beaten the other as often as not, much of the time with inferior talent. He’s never had a team that Joub, Sigler, Boutte, Green, or any other coach in this area would have won state with.

Whitmire. Head to head, he’s outperformed him. From the 2014-2015 to the 2016-2107 season (TJ’s sophomore year, Harper’s senior year…two of those included Grayland), Buna was either 4-4 or 5-3 against Kountze (2 of those years included a rubber match). Buna shouldn’t have won more than 1 of those games, Kountze was way more talented. I’m not counting the last few years where everyone owned Kountze.

Yikes. Reminds me of Lumberton and LCM punting the ball back and forth on 1st down a couple of years ago trying to dodge Carthage 😂. I’m kidding of course. Kind of.

Not talking the last few years. Talking about those deep run Kountze teams with Arnold, Harper and Stanford teams. He played them .500 or better over that 5 year stretch and the talent wasn’t particularly close. I agree he’s had more talent over the past few years. Has Kountze even beaten them over that time frame? Certainly not .500. Again, Joub is no doubt a good coach. Whitmire is just better imo. But again, it’s close. I would probably have the 8-9 or 9-10 in a list of best coaches in th e area.

That’s what I had heard somewhere…I think from AAW on this site. But not positive.

That’s fair and most would have him 2. But I base mine off head to head and I will just say Whitmire has won some games against them Buna had no business winning. Kountze on talent should have been well into double figure favorites. But no doubt he’s a very good coach. Somewhere toward the bottom of top 10 coaches in this area.

Lufkin I believe.

Solid coach who has always done a good job. He’s the third best coach in that district imo but that’s only because that district is probably the most top heavy in the area from a coaching standpoint. And one of those coaches has a lot better record against Joubert than he should from a talent standpoint.

Apparently Pistol Pete is cleared to play again 🙏

No doubt. Really impressive first half of district, especially all things considered.

Proof positive that one off recruiting year can really even things out 😂

Probably about right. He’s the best shooter, ball handler and passer on the team. But 10-20 points sounds about right. But when you are thin offensively to begin with, pretty huge loss. Wouldn’t make much difference tonight but may in the battle for the next 3 spots.

Haggerty is a nice player. He’s not close to Arceneaux or Yates imo.

Yes and their best player has been out the last month after being diagnosed with a rare disease. No time table when he will be out. If you watched either of the Silsbee games with OF last year, you know who I’m talking about.

I predict it’s going to be a sad and shocking reality for Mustang nation when they start to look pretty pedestrian. Hall of Fame coaches don’t grow on trees. Again, I wish him the best but my prediction for Hickman? Heartburn and a lot of it.

Lamar has literally had 3 walk ons playing significant minutes. One of them, Senigaur, would probably have anyway but when you have had games with only 5 scholarship players available, often with only one or two starters, it’s just a tough road to hoe.
