The 8-10 games I've seen that were officiated by chapters outside of setx were called light years better than any game I have seen in setx this season.

I'm 5'8'' and didn't have much of a basketball career. I played. That's about it. Typical response by someone who has no good information to contribute. Resorting to an attempt to make fun of someone, etc. I have officiated numerous little dribblers and little league games as a volunteer, so you would be incorrect. Please go back and site any part of any post I have made where I'm blaming officials for costing kids a game. I'll wait. Again...... All I'm saying is the officiating is setx is bad and is getting worse.

I know it's always easy to blame someone else for others' mistakes or shortcomings. It's not the fault of "guys like me" that officials don't know the rules. That's on them. A better job needs to be done. I don't have all the answers, but there is certainly an issue that seems to be a greater issue in our area than in others. What are other officiating chapters doing differently than setx? It would be a great place to start.

C'mon man. They hire 18 year old car salesman out of high school with zero experience.

I do get it. I just don't care. The best officials need to officiate the varsity games. If these are the best setx has to offer, then there is an internal issue somewhere.

Again, we're not talking about little dribblers or junior high basketball here. Only varsity level. Also, only setx officials.

Typical non answer without any solution to the problem at hand. Let's blame everyone else for the poor officiating and try to hand them our whistle when we hear about it. Sounds like you guys do a lot of training and testing. Is it possible the training and testing should be reviewed and updated? That's not a rhetorical question. If there's that much training and testing before you can officiate, then why do so many officials not know the rules? Again, I'm not talking about all officials, but only SETX officials. You go to Houston or Dallas and its completely different.

Lumberton by 3

It's the same at EC! Tough place to play.

Much closer. Buna didn't play well, and was fortunate they were playing Warren and not EC, OF, or Anahuac. Maybe they were looking ahead to EC on Friday,

They did. EC 32 OF 16

They did. 43-39. Nice upset win for Warren, and a bad loss for Buna. Give Warren a lot of credit. They shot very well from 3 in the 1st half and built a 13-point lead at halftime. Buna came back in the 2nd half and took the lead at one point in the 4th. Good ballgame.

EC by 5

They're playing very well and are much improved over last season. However, their 4-0 consists of wins over Anahuac, Warren, Hardin and Kirbyville. Arguably those are the 4 teams likely to miss the playoffs in the district. Tonight against Kountze and next week against OF and Buna will be a good indicator of just how improved EC is this season. Either way, it's a very strong start to district play for the Lady Bucs!

40+ if they wanted to

Hard to believe Kountze is 20-2 yet still unranked.

Evadale must have been missing some kids...

Don't count out Buna. They went toe to toe with Orangefield last week losing by 7. They had a lead till about midway through the 4th. There will be a lot of very competitive game in this district.

I agree. I've seen them play. They're really good.

Thanks for checking!

I might have gotten some bad information, but I don't think that game will be played on Tuesday.

Maybe you just have better memories of NRG because the Indians won there?

There was some kind of scheduling mix up between Evadale and Buna. No one cancelled. It was just a simple mix up. It happens. Maybe they can reschedule and play a game sometime during the break.

They definitely should be locks. Both have been doing it at a high level for a long time. Congrats to both great coaches

Really happy for Buna. The girls still love and respect their former coach, but they really wanted to beat him badly! Nice win for them.
