Kountzer

There is a formula, or formulas out there are only a few know how to use them. Canyon has it is girls basketball. Carthage has it is 4A football. Odessa Permian had it. Argyle has it in spades. Don't leave out Katy football. People will scheme and collude for something valuable. Art thefts, bank robberies don't just happen. Athletic scholarships are valuable. A full ride scoly to UT Austin, or Texas A&M? Those are worth a half a million dollars. So there's some scheming going on. Canyon has been winning basketball chips for 30 years. That did not just spontaneously happen. Whatever has happened or is happening in Yates is mild in comparison.

Stuff like that doesn't just happen. A committee of some sort is coordinating all that.

Devon transferred from Austin Peay to a Jr College in the panhandle toward the end of 2020. Probably the earliest he can play for Lamar St is in the fall of 2021.

We used to live out that way. Daughter went to Spring Westfield. That school is just West of I 45. Aldine Nimitz was further North on the East side. Near Lone star college. The big name at Nimtz then was Dante Hall, the punt returner.

I doubt if the coaches were in on said incident. These young people network via twitter & etc. from here to New York, to California. It may have been just a rumor. I heard of it from here. And if they were involved they were just doing their due diligence. Cause just about everybody is recruiting in some way, shape or form. Championships are being won with shaky methods. Coaches are pulling in fat six figure contracts, while math & science teachers make much less. I read a tweet where a single mother in Silsbee was proud of her daughter playing in the state tournament. Pic of the daughter shows her wearing an HJ uniform. Maybe they moved to Sour Lake. Ion know. I have my doubts. It could all be legit. But hey, schools like Canyon been pulling this scheme off for decades. I heard about them 20 years ago. My niece is about to go to grad school & she heard about it in high school. The UIL is bound to know since everyone else does. Perhaps they're too busy getting pats on the back & receiving hundred dollar hand shakes to care.

I think it was AAu buddies, twitter, instant communication as we have it now. Besides that, who gives a rat poison? I don't.

It was rumored that Kason wanted to transfer to Silsbee & play with Adams & McCain a few seasons ago in High School. So there is a connection.

I went to a few Lamar U games. I went to see them play SW Louisiana. SW got busted for cheating so bad they changed the name of the school. They had a big build up for the shooting guard they had named Dwight Bo Lamar. Dude got off the bus shooting. The pistol Pete Maravich aura was still very prevalent in La. In that game Bo shot so much from long range, and missing, his team mates stopped passing him the ball. They didn't have the three point line then, so there was no reason to take those shots. That kind of shooting led to the 3 line so it served a purpose. I went to another game against Centenary. The draw was Centenary's 7'1" center named Robert Parish. He went on to have a pretty good NBA career, to say the least.

RIP.

Not many care if you finish high in the polls. Win state and that's when the fun starts: parades, fire truck rides, plaques from city hall, crawfish boils in the park, along with barbecue.

What is SH guard from Tomball Concordia, Pierce Hellums, how is he doing these days?

Need a 35 sec shot clock.

Using the Mike Epps mindset homeboy need 2 stock up on the antibiotics;

Some of what I say about genetics & all that is tongue and cheek humor. Beaumont is natural draw: good shopping nice housing and subdivisions. I know so many people that have moved to Beaumont, or like me, to Houston. Hopefully Silsbee does what it has to do to carry on. Beaumont? It's aiight. I'm not passionate about the place, but I respect it.

Silsbee played a similar warm up game against Wheatley. It was played in the same gym. The results were not similar. Silsbee got beat by double digits. The Silsbee coach at the time, coach Montgomery, used that slow down walk it up approach. Wheatley was running trapping and freewheeling. I saw Wheatley star Eddie Owens grab a rebound with one hand, he just held it, palmed the ball, with one hand. Yates was not the first team in HOuston with that style, not by a long shot. I went to that game. I don't remember exactly where it was played. I want to say it was played at the old Beaumont high school. That was so long ago. By the time the Montagne center was built guys like Manning & Brannon weren't old, but they were well past playing high school basketball.

this could be over.

BU is losing composure.

I missed that game. We had no internet or twitter back then. News traveled slow. But you were around, you know.

They played a highly rated Houston Wheatley team in Beaumont once. They held their own in the game. We may be talking about the same game. All this occured around 1969-1971 somewhere around then.

Argyle needs a nice 9 pt cushion going into the last of the. 4th quarter. If Harvey has a chance to win the game he will.

That could have been. That was 20 years ago. I remember Bosh was a little shaken. He didn't have his game together. He came back a season later and he was the talk of basketball.

By the time the Montagne was built they were old men.

I think Ozen beat D Lincoln in the state championship in 2001. They had the better team that season. The next year Bosh and D Lincoln came in to their own, so to speak. They beat Ozen. Then Bosh graduated & went to Georgia Tech for a year.

Bosh must have graduated from Lincoln & gone on to Georgia Tech.

Back then they mostly had kill the grass, dirt court basketball. No gyms, not cement courts...those came later. As far as I know, in the modern era, that is when it all started in Kountze. Them hoopers back then could play!
