These boys can flat out go. I was leaving the TSU gym after the Silsbee v HC game & the Episcopal HS team was getting on a luxurious chartered bus, & they're right in Houston. Quote

It's all relative. I would venture to say Silsbee probably has double the basketball budget of any other team in the district. Maybe even more. BADSANTA 1 Quote

And in all fairness from what I'm told, this is not just basketball. Even in academic endeavors (such as UIL, one act play, etc.), and even in its facilities, Silsbee ISD tends to invest more in its kids than its district mates... Quote

Kountzer Posted December 23, 2016 Report Posted December 23, 2016 Aight, Aight I don't know why I swerved over into school allocations & stuff. I should of stayed in my lane. I left Silsbee at 19 for the US Coast Guard. I've basically been a visitor ever since. I never really got to participate in local politics. When I left MLK was frensenius road. I've heard stories, but it is not the same as having real skin in the game. The basketball team usually goes the deepest in the playoffs than any other team sport. I'm sure that is taken into consideration when funding and budgets are discussed. TxHoops 1 Quote

It has sort of become an alter identity. I have a email address with that name that is old. I was born in Kountze. Kountze has gone out & won 3 or 4 basketball championships in my lifetime. I have always respected that. So I stuck a 'r' on the end of kountze and became kountzer. it has an esoteric quality to it. People from other parts call it countzer. You know how contrary peeps can be. Back in the day me & the guys on the streets of Silsbee were always praising the Kountze Lions b ballers because they got it done. The ole 'the grass is always greener' syndrome. Don't get it twisted though, anymore than it already is. Silsbee is all I know. My Silsbee roots are deep. winwin 1 Quote

I take that back. i am paying taxes on some old family land & property. So I do have a little skin in the game. Quote
