2024-2025 Basketball season

[UNT-AggieMan]

Well here we go we are about 3 weeks away. Give me your top teams and what your expectations are for teams and players this year.

Kind of hard to figure out this year with splitting the teams into divisions after district play ends.

I'll give it a try in a few days after doing some extensive research. lol

Initially, I think Kountze will go farther in the playoffs than any other of our coverage area schools.

i'm thinking HJ will be much improved this year. 

i'm calling WB to dethrone BU as district champs.

Port Arthur Memorial will have a say about who's district champs this upcoming season.

No argument here at all. I really like the guard they have. IDK his name but he’s the bright kid that’s about 6’1

Split Divisions will be very interesting to predict who goes big and small.

3A Guess for the area coverage teams:

Division 1 likely top playoff teams (which will include Hitchcock early rounds, Mexia later rounds) not in order:

Orangefield, Crockett, Central (they could go small but likely big based on teams in district), Anahuac, Coldspring

Division 2 likely top playoff teams (includes Westwood, Franklin later in path):

Central Heights, East Chambers, Kountze, Onalaska

You're probably talking about Hilstock or Bryant.

Think OF will be better this year than I was initially expecting. Don’t think they bear Kountze this year, but depending on how the playoff splits shake out should make it till whatever round they get Hitchcock again (who I know Kountze is glad not to see again)

Kountze and Evadale should go far in the playoffs. Silsbee could go deep depending on which teams make the playoffs. Be glad not to see faith family

Could you fill me in on this “split”? Been awhile for too long I guess, no idea what that entails.

Basketball (and all other sports) are going to divisions like football. Div. 1 and Div. 2. But, unlike football, the divisions are not determined until after district play. The two highest enrollment teams of the four who make the playoffs will be the Division 1 reps and the other two teams will be the Division 2 reps. You will have a #1 and #2 seed in each division. No more #3 and #4 seeds even though teams will finish 3rd and 4th in their respective districts.

In football, the districts are already put in divisional districts. Basketball for the next two years will divide after district play. Next realignment all the districts will be divisional districts like football.
