Houston Wheatley 61 Little Cypress-Mauriceville 58/FINAL
Kountzer replied to WOSgrad's topic in High School Boys Basketball
You brought back memories with that one. I played there also. My grandpaw's last name Hester, but I haven't heard of a connection. -
Houston Wheatley 61 Little Cypress-Mauriceville 58/FINAL
Kountzer replied to WOSgrad's topic in High School Boys Basketball
I grew up in Silsbee and I love my home town. My 2nd hometown is Houston, specifically 5th ward and kashmere gardens. It has been that way since before I was born. My aunt & uncle by marriage met in the halls of Wheatley. Their classmate was legendary basketball coach Jackie Carr. My cousins and a lot of my friends went to Kashmere where they played ball, marched in the marching bands, traveled with the stage band, and some teach there now. I could easily debate what you have to say, anytime, any day. -
Houston Wheatley 61 Little Cypress-Mauriceville 58/FINAL
Kountzer replied to WOSgrad's topic in High School Boys Basketball
All this has been discussed, but Wheatley, like a lot of schools is a victim of the new way to build basketball programs. Back in the day, in the 60s & 70s, all the homegrown b-ball talent stayed in 5th ward or in Kashmere gardens. Those areas were locked in by bad roads, slow mass transit, etc. Save the rest for MLK weekend or the month of February. Now, all kinds of good roads are being built. Then you got AAU spies & pimps, the internet, twitter, What's app, mass transit trains and buses to take a ball player anywhere in Houston. All the genes have moved to Northshore, Cypress, FB Brazoria counties.. You get the picture. I was talking to a young man not long ago. He said he played football for Northshore. I asked if he lived out that way. He said he has always lived in Kashmere Gardens. NS is 20 miles away. They're not the only ones, not by a long shot. So, whatever kind of team Wheatley can put on the court is almost a miracle. -
Long way for Center to travel, but it is either a blessin' or a lesson. Either way it is positive.

Dang. Do you know where in Houston? If I had known I would of tried to make it to that game.

Was this game played in Houston or Silsbee?

Silsbee 84 Lake Charles LaGrange 51/FINAL
Kountzer replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Boys Basketball
I was thinking if they can stream and record games other places why not in Silsbee? I didn't know til just now it was already going on. I'm guessing the UIL is allowing this because of pandemic restrictions on crowds at games. I am glad I can see the Tigers this year. It is not as good as actually being at the games. These days you take what you can see and be happy. -

Yes, get well TxHoops.

I should add I tested positive that first test in March. I've taken two more test since then and both were negative. All were from the same testing place.

Same to you. I am glad you are okay.

Same to you. I am glad you are okay.

I tested positive back in March. I am A+ btw. I felt a slight fever. I could feel stuff moving around near my lungs. It ached some around my heart. Basically though I had no symptoms. I am grateful to still be here just the same.

Silsbee 84 Lake Charles LaGrange 51/FINAL
Kountzer replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Boys Basketball
Back when Silsbee was going to SA several times in a row coach Sig quite often substituted 4 or 5 in, and 4 or 5 out. He had the players and the bench to pull that off. At one point he could pull Dontre Thomas and Gruggs out and put Trajan Harris, and Landyn Tyler in. That's a serious bench. Maybe by the playoffs Sig will have his bench trained & ready -
Houston Yates 111 Little Cypress-Mauriceville 78/FINAL
Kountzer replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Boys Basketball
No evidence the paradigm has shifted, at least not in this game. Big ups to lcm for scheduling this game. The only way to defeat a team like Yates is to gain first hand knowledge. -

So it is Legacy. I knew some HS public or private was siphoning off the talent that usually goes to Yates. I just couldn't put a finger on who. -
Little Cypress - Mauriceville At Jack Yates NO FANS

You're right. My bad. The household should get a direct deposit on Wednesday. That is what tripped me up, lol. -
Little Cypress - Mauriceville At Jack Yates NO FANS
Kountzer replied to SportsJunkie32's topic in High School Boys Basketball
I see where Yates is winning over Houston 4A teams by single digits. They beat Kashmere by 2. They won over Furr and Wheatly by single digits. That says to me another team besides Yates or Silsbee could win region III 4A basketball. Key word is 'could'. Worry about that later. I would be highly surprised if they don't beat LCM by double digits on this coming Wednesday the 22nd. -

Beaumont United 69 Dickinson 54/FINAL
Kountzer replied to WOSgrad's topic in High School Boys Basketball
I went to that game. It was the first of the season. It was a showcase put together by Jim Hicks. Dickinson had a stronger team last year. BU has a stronger team this year. Kasen Harrison put in work. -
Beaumont United 76 Silsbee 56/FINAL
Kountzer replied to WOSgrad's topic in High School Boys Basketball
BU's David Green is a defensive minded coach. He knows how to squeeze an opportunity with good defense. He used that strategy when he went to state out of Fort Bend. That team he won state with at North Shore was a good defensive team. So it is no surprise to me that BU is a good defensive team as well. Still gotta play the games. BU very well could take state in 5A. I would love to see BU play FFA. Ik, FFA is technically 4A, but still, that would be a good game to see. -
Beaumont United 76 Silsbee 56/FINAL
Kountzer replied to WOSgrad's topic in High School Boys Basketball
There is no substitute for experience. Huffman has a lot of it. HH could win region 3. They don't want no parts of Faith Family, but then who does? No team at the 4A level that's for sure. The season is young yet. District play hasn't really kicked in yet. There are always one of two surprises in the playoffs. Covid 19 is a factor. Who knows how this thing will end? So the Tigers need to ride with it. See where it goes. -
