I lived in Dallas for 20 years and have no desire to go back. The atmosphere is great for High School Football. I would have to move to any school that believes and has a kicking game. I have actually thought about moving my son just for that reason.

Would you like for me to burn in to a DVD for you?

It's going to be replayed on ESPN classic on Tuesday evening

Now that is funny.

I am from Kountze someone please tell me what playoffs are.

Palin as the head coach she is a women (mean and plays dirty and never forgets anything) Obama as defense coordinator (opposing teams would never know what to expect with his change) McCain special teams I woldn't want to confuse him to have to count more than three Biden ball boy I believe he likes playing with himself.

I see EC taking this one. I think most of the Kouontze players have given up. With the rumors flying around about a couple of their coaches. Unless they come together as a TEAM and play up to thier potential they will not win this game, if they do come together they will win. Just my opinion.

See you there.

Deweyville was with out a doubt the better team that night. I will not argue with you there. They came to accomplish a goal and they did exactly that. I have a lot more respect for them after that game. Kountze took a good old fashion behind the barn but whippin that night.

I am really liking the local recruits. This will put a lot of butts in seats there. Can't wait to get season tickets.

This game (in my opinion) all depends on which Kountze team shows up. If the team that played Deweyville shows they will not win, if the team that played Hardin and Buna shows up the will take this one in a close game. I will go out on a limb and say Kountze 28 Anahuac 21

After watching both of these teams play against Kountze I believe that Buna takes this one by 17 Buna 38 Deweyville 21

Excellent job by these kids. Congrats to them

Prayers from Kountze. Please keep us posted.

I have to go with the Kountze kicker. He has only missed two extra points and has connected on all field goal attempts and this kid is only a sophmore. I believe his extra points are 9 out of 11 and 3-3 on field goals. With two more years I think he will be a great one by the time he is a senior.

Grades haven't hurt the team at all. The Buna loss was a hard fought battle and we came up short. The deweyville loss was due to two things we were not focused at all and they came with out a doubt ready to go home winners. They had the game won from the first play. Congradulations to them on that win. I believe Kountze will give Hardin a game, but I can not with confidence say who will go home victorious. Good luck to both teams.

I was at the game and I do have a side that I favor, but the refs were awful, but that is football and something both sides had to over come. I was impressed with Kountze's sophmore kicker hitting a 33 yard field goal with three seconds left in the first have to give Kountze somehing going into half time.

Kountze has practice today at 3 pm. I will know more this evening.

Kountze will resume school on Tuesday.

Just spoke with my son and the game is on Thursday

Do we have comfirmation for this move? I haven't heard anything.

At long last, Kountze football team in good repair By PERRYN KEYS September, 9, 2008 KOUNTZE - Less than a month after he pulled into town in 2005, Stan Hodges' old four-door F-250 crapped out. It was only then that the first-year coach at Kountze realized the kind of repair job he was getting himself into. An auto mechanic, sitting behind his desk, quickly put Hodges in his place. "You're the new football coach here, right?" the repair guy asked him. Hodges all but puffed out his chest, feeling good about his newfound status as an important man in town. He had come off the staff at Converse Judson, the mighty Class 5A powerhouse where teams win big and coaches rarely have to buy their own lunch. Yes, Hodges said; as a matter of fact, I am the new football coach. "I'm sorry about that," the repair guy replied. "You could bring Tom Landry in here and it won't matter. You ain't never gonna win here." Hodges recoiled a little. Then he shot back. "I said, 'Well, that's the kind of stinkin' attitude we're going to change around here. We're going to win,' " Hodges recalled. "We had to change the attitudes of our kids, but also in the community." Three years later, the Lions are well on their way. They opened their season with a win over Woodville, then followed with a 28-26 victory over Class 3A opponent Bridge City . With a win against Evadale at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Kountze will have its second 3-0 start in as many seasons. Sure, hundreds of programs in Texas win three in a row. In fact, hundreds of programs do it on a yearly basis. But for decades at Kountze, the best thing about a football game was that it got fans one week closer to basketball season. How bad had it been? Consider this: In 2004, the Lions went 3-7. It was their best record in five years. They haven't been to the playoffs since 1973, and according to Dave Campbell's Texas Football, Kountze holds the second-longest losing streak in state history - a run of 53 losses from 1977-82. Before Hodges came to town, Kountze had four different coaches in four years, nine different coaches in the last 12. Can you say "big stinking mess"? "When I came in ... people were probably thinking, 'Oh, look at Hodges. He's probably not going to stick around,' " Hodges said. "Well, I did. ... So I brought a little continuity to the program, and the coaches and kids bought into it. Anytime you have a lot of changeover, that makes it hard on people." Still, Hodges was hardly off to a great start. In a hurricane-shortened 2005, the Lions were 0-7. They started to turn the corner from there, following with a 4-6 campaign - easily their best in a decade. Before long, some of the school's best athletes (i.e., its talented basketball players) showed an interest in football, too. Last season was the big breakthrough. Kountze went 7-3 and scored a major upset of East Chambers in the second-to-last week of the season. But the Lions missed the playoffs because of losses to Buna and Hardin. "We just tried to keep the whole team together," senior Domingo Smith said. "During the summertime, we'd come up here and work out a little bit. We wanted to make ourselves better and put Kountze on the map." Now it's homecoming week, and football is finally fashionable. Yet again, there's a parade and a bonfire planned, and - how's this for good luck? - it looks like Hurricane Ike won't wipe out any of it. Of course, it's not always an endless supply of bright flowers and chirping birds. During 7-on-7 drills Tuesday afternoon, a series of flubs led to a verbal beatdown from the coaching staff, followed by a series of up-downs for the players on the half-grassy, half-dusty field. But this much is apparent: Players there are willing to pay the price. Just recently, Hodges asked two senior players to speak to a visitor after practice. Twelve seniors showed up. Out of all 12 mouths, the same words kept pouring out - hard work, dedication, brotherhood. "Most of this group started as sophomores," senior Milton Williams said, "so we've been together." It's a special group of kids to Hodges, who can remember them all as gangly freshmen when they reported for that first camp in 2005. Three years later, they've got a new field house (built last spring) and an outlook that used to be unthinkable. Asked about their goal for this season, all 12 players answered in unison: make the playoffs. "There ain't one guy that carries this team," Hodges said. "One thing that we preach to our kids is a brotherhood. If you love what you're doing, and if you love who you're doing it with, good things are gonna come your way." So far, it's been a repair job worth watching.

To close for me to call. I believe it will be a GREAT game and I will be there. I believe it will come down to point after attempts and two point conversions. I think the kicking game will play a part in this game.

im gonna give it to woodville. kountze is sorry this year. every player they have is overrated Kind of a harsh statement don't you think? I will be there and I think Kountze will be tested, but come out on top
