Sabine aims to reign over Class 2A With eight seniors back from record-setting season, Cardinals expected to soar. By RICK KRETZSCHMAR LIBERTY CITY — Reign is a popular word in the Sabine boys’ basketball program. Their slogan for the 2008-09 season was, 'Reign Now.' This year's slogan is 'Witness the Reign.' "We didn't want to begin this and not finish out," Sabine coach Tim Davis said. Sabine has been able to reign over most Class 2A schools in Texas. What the Cardinals are seeking this year is a reign over a region which barely got away from them last year, and if everything comes to together, reign over Texas. Sabine opens its 2009-10 season hosting Bullard at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. The current reign has been impressive. Sabine was 36-5 last season, setting a school record for wins in a season before falling to New Waverly 27-26 in the Class 2A Region III final. Sabine was also 28-7 as a Class 3A team in 2007-08. The recent success has drawn comparisons to Sabine's most successful era, when the Cardinals won the 1980 Class A state title, the 1981 Class 2A state championship and advanced to the Class 2A Region III final in 1982. Sabine has eight seniors returning from a year ago. While meaning no offense to underclassmen and future Cardinals whatsoever, Davis said the large number of seniors may create the possibility that Sabine currently has an open window opportunity for region and/or state championships, and that window may close after this season. Davis said he had a similar feeling about such a window when he coached at Trinidad earlier this decade, which was anchored by 6-3 standout Malcolm Smith. Trinidad dropped a Class A Division II Region III semifinal to Karnack in 2004 and an area playoff to Stephenville Huckaby in 2005. "The difference is Trinidad had one really good player. This group has chemistry. They've played together since the third grade," Davis said. "They have to take advantage of this opportunity now. There's no guarantee they'll play New Waverly again, or get back to the same point they were at last year." New Waverly may or may not run into Sabine again, but the Cardinals have been thinking about New Waverly since their bizarre encounter last year. In that game, both teams went into a stall in the fourth quarter, and neither team moved as seven minutes and 35 seconds went off the clock. Sabine took a 26-25 lead on a Jacob Kenna drive with 15 seconds remaining, but New Waverly's X'Zavious Harrison made two free throws with four seconds remaining to give New Waverly the win. Sabine couldn't get off a last-second shot. "After that game, I wasn't tired at all. Normally, I feel tired after a game, even when we win big," Sabine senior swingman Noah Jackson said. "I had dreams about the game for two weeks straight afterwards. I kept dreaming about him (Harrison) making those free throws." Sabine should get reminders about New Waverly this year, but they should be pleasant. Davis said the name of his team's stall play to preserve a lead has been changed from stall to 'New Waverly.' "It kind of keeps you motivated," Sabine senior guard-forward Josh Montana said. "It makes you work harder every day, and prepares you to expect the unexpected." Montana said he hopes this year's Sabine team will be faster and play better defense while retaining its sharp-shooting skills. Leading the large batch of seniors is point guard Colton Kirk — a Texas Association of Basketball Coaches all-state selection — and Jackson, District 18-2A's Most Valuable Player in 2008-09. Yet even if Sabine is better than last year, the Cardinals may not win more games. Not including tournaments, Sabine plays just one game against a Class 2A non-district opponent. Sabine travels to southeast Texas for the Hardin-Jefferson tournament, then hosts its physically-grueling Last Man Standing tournament the following week. Sabine's tournament guarantees each team six games in three days. "Fewer wins is most definitely a possibility," Davis said. Davis said because of last year's success, there will be a huge amount of expectations on his team this year from Sabine supporters. However, those expectations may be at the core of this season's outcome. "This is probably the most mentally-tough team I have coached," Davis said. "That mental toughness will be our identity." That toughness could transform into a confidence, and perhaps a chance to reign supreme. "When we're playing our best, I haven't seen another Class 2A team that can beat us," Montana said.

THE HUNTSVILLE ITEM NEWSPAPER Silsbee slips past No. 1 New Waverly again, 53-44. Though disappointed with the loss, Goffney was pleased with the effort from his team. “We’re getting better each game and now we’re going to try things to make us better individually,” Goffney added. “We plan on making this our last loss.” The Bulldogs will play at Liberty on Tuesday before heading to Splendora on Thursday to play in another tournament. NEW WAVERLY IS A VERY ATHLETIC TEAM, FAIRLY DEEP AND SKILLED. THEY NEED IMPROVEMENT ON FREETHROWS, CLOSE GAME DISIPLINE AND LEADERSHIP. WITH THESE IMPROVEMENTS THEY WILL CONTINUE TO BE ONE OF THE AREAS BEST TEAMS.

IN ADDITION TO AP, HJ AND BH HERE ARE THREE MORE TEAMS THAT WILL BE IN THE AP TOURNAMENT CALALLEN 4A, ROCKPORT-FULTON 4A AND ODEM 2A. BASED ON THEIR RECORD LAST YEAR, EARLY RECORD THIS YEAR AND THE RETURNING PLAYERS IT IS MY BELEIF THAT CALALLEN WILL WIN THIS TOURNAMENT.

THE HUNTSVILLE ITEM NEWSPAPER Published: March 04, 2009 12:48 am A lot’s at stake Dogs face Lions with regional tournament berth on the line By Gene Schallenberg Sports NEW WAVERLY — The last few times the Bulldogs squared off with Kountze, they have had the Lions’ number. The latest meeting between the two teams will mean so much more as a berth in the Region III semifinals will be on the line tonight in the region quarterfinal playoff game at 7 at Crosby High School. “We’re real familiar with them,†Bulldogs junior guard Tyren Watts said. “It’s almost like a rivalry. Our style of play is so similar, which makes it less complicated because you know what they’re going to do. We already know what we have to do to win.†In the most recent meeting between the two teams, the top-ranked Bulldogs pulled out a close 65-57 victory in the Big Sandy tournament in early December. It’s been a while since that game and both teams have made great strides from that point on, considering the Lions (22-11) and the Dogs are alive and still playing. “I think the biggest thing is from the first time we played them is the conditioning,†New Waverly head coach Bill Goffney said. “We were kind of lucky to hang on and beat them last time. I think they had three weeks to a month head start. I thought we shot the ball pretty well against them last time. “They’ve got two (state championship) rings the last three years and that speaks for itself. Anytime you can beat them, that’s a good win. To come back and do it twice in the same season is tough. We played them three times over the past two years, so we’re real familiar with them. We’ve played them and know what to expect.†While it can be easy to look past the Lions because New Waverly defeated them earlier this season, the Bulldogs (28-3) know they can’t afford to start making weekend plans. “We can’t take them lightly because they have nothing to lose,†Dogs junior X’Zavious Harrison said. “It’s just another team we have to put away.†“They know they’re going to have to come out and play,†Goffney said. “They can’t take anything for granted. A turnover here and a turnover there could get you sent home. They know they have to come out with that same intensity. We’re taking it one game at a time.†“It’s hard not to be overconfident,†Watts said. “It’s hard not to think that because we beat them the last three times that we won’t beat them this time. We both have a lot on the line. They’re not just going to lay down. Just because we beat them before doesn’t mean we’ll beat them again. It’s like a rivalry game. They’re going to give it their all. They don’t have anything to lose. We don’t have anything to lose. If we lose this one, there’s no more games for us.†Like New Waverly, Kountze, the district champ out of 23-2A, plays a fast-paced style offense and pressuring defense. “They really haven’t changed much since the last time we played them,†Goffney added. “They’re going to do what they do. They’re going to press you the whole game. There’s not going to be a lot of new wrinkles from when we see them this time. They’re going to try to out-athlete you and outrun you and wear you down. “Luckily, that’s how we play too. I’m not worried about wearing down. I don’t want to get in a situation where we’re trading buckets. I think we’re better than that. I want to be able to get buckets and force stops. We just got to go out and take care of business. We just need to make some stops when it counts. I feel like we can get down the floor and play solid defense, then we’re going to make it tough.â€

THE HUNTSVILLE ITEM NEWSPAPER Published: February 18, 2009 12:24 am New Waverly coach hospitalized with collapsed lung By Gene Schallenberg Sports On the eve of the regular-season finale against Buffalo, the top-ranked Bulldogs were sitting pretty. New Waverly had nothing to play for other than maintaining its No. 1 ranking going into the playoffs and completing a perfect district schedule for the second straight year. The Bulldogs hadn’t planned on anything significant happening, but then they were dealt with something rather unexpected as head coach Bill Goffney was hospitalized on Monday. It was discovered that Goffney’s left lung was partially collapsed. “He received treatment at Conroe Regional Medical Center,†New Waverly athletic director Ken Craig said. “They used a pump to put some air in his lung. The more reports we have heard, the better the prognosis has been.†Goffney hopes to be released from the hospital soon and return to New Waverly later in the week, at the earliest. “What hurts the most is that I can’t be there with those guys tonight, especially on senior night,†Goffney said. “They’re a good group of guys. We go back all the way to when they were in elementary school. While I wish I could be there to see them receive their trophies, being able to stand at midcourt (in the Frank Erwin Center) at the state tournament would make up for it. “I just can’t wait to get out of here.†Since Eldridge McAdams, New Waverly girls basketball head coach and boys assistant coach, was in Mont Belvieu scouting on Tuesday, Craig and Dennis Cufr took over coaching duties on Monday. The seniors, who were freshmen when Goffney became the head coach in the 2005-06 season, wanted to get a win for their coach. “It was hard without Coach here,†senior Joseph Carrington said, “because we’re used to him being here and telling us what to do all the time. We got through it though. I know it’s also hard on him, not being here for our senior night. We just came out playing like he was here. We did this for him.â€
