WOW!  :o That's unbelievable....4 players cut a 22 point deficit to 1 in a matter of 7 minutes!!! Wish I could've seen this one. ;D

Three of the players were not even starters.

The last 7 minutes of this game was very intense.Warren was playing shorthanded from the start but the foul count was questionable to say the least.The kids off the bench should get a look after todays game ,they played with a lot of heart.Warren hit 13 -3's as team.Sims and Lil Cody Andrews lit it up in the fourth.Sims played the entire second half with a badly sprained ankle.

i got to see a little over half of the 4th qtr in this game and i'd say it was pretty wild and exciting game to watch.  I know i'm repeating this, but Warren played with 4 players most of the 4th qtr and came back from a double digit deficit to almost win this game!  They got a defensive rebound with 17 seconds left, down 3 pts, but went down and turned the ball over and had to foul again.  I agree with whsalum, it was very gutsy by them to keep hustling then coming down and nailing three pointers.  Thats the only time i've gotten to see Warren, and i know i didnt get to see all their players, but they gained my respect.  I was glad to see Sims play, since i'd heard a lot about him, he can really shoot. 

whsalum, i figured you were at the game when i got there, i was looking around at all the Warren fans, where were you at? were you the guy behind the bench in the bright orange warren shirt?  i stood near the entrance and watched the game from there then left right after the game to watch slocum-garrison at the new gym.

This district is going to be very interesting, with Hardin, Warren, East Chambers, Anahuac and Deweyville all fighting for 3 playoff spots, i could see a combination of any of those 3 getting in.

Wished I'd known you were there I would have introduced myself.I was in a white shirt beside the guy in the orange shirt.I spent most of the second half trying to keep the high school principle out of jail. :D .Not one of the better performances by officials I have seen and I usually give them the benefit of the doubt.Brookeland has a pretty good ballclub this year.

I vaguely remember seeing someone with a white shirt beside the guy with the orange shirt.  Yeah, i wouldve liked to have met you and talked some bball.  I was there almost all day.  Unfortunately i didnt get there in time to see all the excitement with the principal, but i heard about it throughout the day.  Brookeland does have a very good team.  I watched Slocum beat Brookeland for the consolation finals. Slocum led big early (got up to 18 pt lead) and Brookeland is athletic, loves to fast break, wants to get to the rim, and kept fighting and made it a game at the very end.  It was a pretty good tournament overall, i got to see a lot of teams i had heard about.

I was impressed with the tournament field as well.I watched Woodville and Slocum in an overtime game Friday.I also got to see Newton and Corrigan as well as Lufkin and Wells.Pretty good basketball being played.Incredibly bad timing by some of Warren's seniors for the second week in a row in scheduling ACT or SAT test.Makes it tough on the rest of the team.I think Newton is definitely the favorite this year in 23-aa.I didn't see any real good shooters but they are extremely athletic and are big on the block.I heard Lufkin brought a completely different club Friday than the one they had Thursday.I was impressed with the group they had on Thursday.

might be a couple o new starters in warren this week....

[24 over par]

sometimes it takes a situation like this to really get the kids motor running and it sounds like warren got a big effort from the kids they had in the 4th quarter

Wow! Beeninnikes has already counted Kountze out of the playoff race!  I am sure that it was just an oversight.
