True but this year is a senior heavy team with I think 3 soph s and 2 juniors. (I could be wrong on that). The jv has no one and when I mean no one I mean NO ONE. 2 of the jv ers are seniors which makes no sense. I know there s a couple of 8th graders with talent but not sure they are ready for varsity level come next year.

It’s very unusual but it’s not a UIL violation. I know Coach Joubert will get all they have to give, I just don’t see enough coming to warrant the “Kountze is back” moniker.

Nothing against any other grade level currently on campus, but the next special group coming through Kountze is in the 7th grade.

I've played seniors on JV.  Its usually guys that only come out their senior year, or can not help the varsity in any way.  There is no UIL rule that says a SR can't be on JV.

I'm sure the "transfer portal" will have them a new group next year

The portal is not nearly as active to an average team.

Hmm. When does Kountze get transfers? 

[DeuceSixSuited]

Kountze loses 3 Seniors and returns 8. 
8th grade was average this year. 
7th grade went undefeated and beat everyone by 40+. Very nice group coming up for the boys and girls in the 7th grade.

I would like to know that as well.

Buna has received as many as Kountze has over the last few years.

Every school gets one or two here and there. But Kountze has not had a “top 3” player move in for a while now. 

[Coach 01]

Kountze may have transfers coming back to to Kountze. They usually are kids that were originally in Kountze, or never left Kountze, deciding to come back.

I have a good friend who’s son played on the boys 7th grade team. I’ve heard nothing but good things about him and the club. I hope to get to check them out.

My question was would these kids come back to an average club? Not just Kountze but it happens for various reasons all over SE Texas. Sometimes it has nothing to do with athletics, single parent homes are often a driving force. There are always however some that come for athletics. I don’t know anything much about Buna transfers . I think the best player in our area this year was originally from Buna but I could be wrong.

If you are speaking of Bush, he is a Silsbee kid. Always has been.

Speaking of Buna, their best player is a transfer from Silsbee. Matter of fact, because of a family situation (divorce), word is he will be moving back to Silsbee after this school year.

One of them is back this year, after a 3 win season. Obviously there are factors that play into every kid's situation, and I will not speak about kids that are on campus, specifically. 

As for Bush, his mom is from Buna. I don't know his father, but I am assuming he is from Silsbee. Bush's cousin, Shannon Robinson, attended Buna until his 8th grade season. At that point, he transferred to Silsbee. Jeremy Johnson also lived in Buna, played youth sports for Buna, before making the move over to Silsbee as a 7th grader. Bray went to Silsbee, spent a little time at Legacy, before coming back to Silsbee for his freshman year.

[Coach 01]

Losing Shannon Robinson and Jeremy Johnson to Silsbee, were pretty significant losses for Buna, obviously.

I am thinking we have a different opinion on who Buna's best player is. I'm hoping anyway.

Maybe. But someone very close to Buna basketball team agrees with me.

Bush dad is from Silsbee. All-state basketball player who played for Sigler in the 90's.

I know that Bray is a Silsbee kid because he lives in my neighborhood (just around the block). Been living here basically all his life.

I had someone tell me several years ago his family was originally from Buna and he played Little Dribblers over there. I’m not implying any wrong doing on anyone’s part . Just that he has roots to Buna.

Oh I don't doubt it. People may be confused because his family ties to Buna, but I know. He's 100% Silsbee.
