KFDM COOP Posted March 25, 2007 Report Posted March 25, 2007 www.panews.com2A Kountze once again makes noise on Gamble AwardBob West column for Sunday, March 25The Port Arthur News Good basketball players are where you find them, as once again underscored by Kountze having two players — 2A state tournament MVP Cameron Powell and Clayton Busby — among the five Mr. Outside and five Mr. Inside finalists for the 2007 James Gamble Awards. This marks the fourth time in the five years that Kountze has had two players selected. Only Ozen, with 10 total selections, has been represented with more players than Kountze (8). With Lamar-bound Ashton Hall twice being named Mr. Inside and Keithan Hancock winning a Mr. Outside, Kountze matches Ozen in winning the top award three times . . . Here’s hoping folks will circle Thursday, April 12 on the calendar and plan to attend the fourth annual Port Arthur News /Gamble Award Game at the Parker Center. The crowds have been decent every year, but never what we feel the game deserves, considering it spotlight’s the area’s top ten schoolboy players. Although I’ll leave the talent evaluating up to James Gamble, this year’s crop of guards has to be the most explosive overall group we’ve ever assembled. With Memorial’s prolific J’Covan Brown joining 2006 Mr. Inside Cris Richard of Ozen, 2007 3A state tournament MVP Ryan Donahoe of Hardin-Jefferson, Kountze’s Busby and East Chambers scoring machine Tremain Thomas, there’s an incredible amount of firepower.
