Best Basketball is SETX history

[Guest spinks]

Simply from an overall standpoint.  We dont have one of those teams this year that could be the best in the history of SETX but we have NEVER and I repeat NEVER had 3 local districts represent the region with 2 teams out of each district.  The other beauty of it is that we could very easily see all teams reach the regional final and in each of those 3 games it is a complete toss up.  No one knows who will win.  This is indeed one of the greatest weekends in SETX basketball history!!!!!

I agree completely.  This is some exciting stuff!

I agree 100% I mean we all know we will be cheering on our local teams this week but what about next round..do we cheer for kountze or EC...Big Sandy or West Hardin...my brains hurting already..:-)

Back between 98-2002 those were the best years in basketball in this area, you had lincoln,silsbee,Wos,Ozen,kountze.........out of all those teams you had atleat 12 players that played college ball.......you had the hancocks and Trey Peters, Immanule Mccleroy,Norious Magee,perkins,young,dabney,Chris miller,thaydeous holden,lewis Arline from silsbee.......and hell LCm was great with jason troop........seems like basketball these the athletes aren't the same as they use to be becasue those guys were phenomenal.......but it should pick back up the  next couple of years with talent......

As badly as I hate to --- I agree with you ltown. The Hancock brothers' reign at Kountze was king...The Kountze Lions 96-97 State Finalist's team was on fire with Josh Hancock, Zeb Carey, Bryan Eppes, Chris Miller, Chris Johnson, Fred Wright.........I remember Kountze vs. Ozen being the games to be at; full house at both courts....Those were definately good years...But you have to admit - this year has been pretty fantastic.

I agree with you spinks. I believe the amount of teams and ability acroos the board is amazing. Not just a team or two doing well with great athletes but 7 teams doing great all the way to regionals. Good luck to all.

[Guest ltownbaseball9]

no doubt this is a good year of hardin county basketball and around the area I am excited for it.....but theres nothing like back in those days watching kountze vs ozen and lincoln vs WOS, and silsbee vs kountze when silsbee had holden and arline.....

[Aggie@heart10]

Very true...ltown....very true....

[Guest spinks]

You are comparing 4 years to 1...............I am talking about 1 single season!!!! Just because you played in that period you think it was the best.  I played in 96-98 and I did not think it was the best............those were great athletes but very few of the teams advanced to the regional round like this in 1 year.  Heck .............holden and arline couldnt get past the first round.  This is without a doubt the best single year setx basketball history from an overall standpoint!!!!!  Playoffs are all that matters and these teams are playing when it matters.

[Guest ltownbaseball9]

and who did you play for.........

[Guest ltownbaseball9]

I didnt say just becasue I played in that period its the best its just the truth....you had better players and better all around schools back then and better competition......Someone needs to win a state championship this year first to make it the best basketball in setx history just becasue you have the teams there doesnt me crap somebody needs to win a championship first...

[Guest spinks]

I played for HJ....................there were not better ALL AROUND schools.  There may have been 2 or 3 really good teams but we have NEVER had 7 teams make it to regionals.  I am speaking from an overall standpoint!!!!

[hssportsfan]

Spinks, give it up. Ltown knows everything. I might start a thread on best high school concession stand so he can tell us all how we do not know what we are talking about. It is this way on every thread he gets into.

But, back to the topic....this is an incredible year for SE Texas.

[txstate2010]

Very true. SETX is represented better than ever this year. Lets start a thread about who has the best nachos and see what ltown has to say. It is guaranteed he would know exactly who is the best and wouldnt be open minded to anything else!!!

[WH-BackInThaDay]

Worst concession food ever was at Hull Daisetta about 6 years ago. Simply due to the fact that the chicken strips gave me the skitters!!

[WH-BackInThaDay]

I gotta agree Spinks. Best year overall for the area. SETX is very dominant this year, even though none of the teams are any good. (sarcasm)

I think the teams are great and are representing the area very well. But there always has to be someone wanting to throw a damper on someone else's bubble. Ever seen the commercial about the one-upper??

[Guest spinks]

the other great thing about ALL of these teams is they do it with CLASS!!!!

[whsalum]

Gotta admit this is a great year for setx basketball.I just wish the regional locations were closer where I could catch more than 1.I guess I'll flip a coin this weekend.So much basketball,so little time :-\ :-\ :-\

[baller001]

good point whsalum hopefully there will be 4 teams headed to austin from this area soo we can cheer all teams on
