H-J Marathon Picks

[Stuck in E. Texas]

Just trying to pick 1 and 2 in each of the pools.

HJ and PG
Sabine and ?
Crockett and ?
Kounze (I don't care about their swagg) and ?

[Lazeek]

If I were to guess I would go with these 8 teams...........

HJ and Pleasant Grove
Sabine and LCM
Crockett and Krum
Kountze and Bullard

I am not sure who Valley View even is.

[KHSAlum400]

Anyone know how the teams will be seeded for the bracket?

[Lazeek]

The top 2 teams from each pool will go into the Gold Bracket and the bottom 2 teams from each pool will go into Silver Bracket.  I will get the breakdown tomorrow and post it.

I got some info on the unknown teams. 
1. Valley View.  They have some good size for an 2a team. biggest player 6-4. Last year only team noticed they played was Ponder (2A State champs and lost 77 to 38.)
So does not seem like they are good but that was last year.

2. Krum  Have not come close to winning a game so far this year. Not sure about the teams they've played  Liberty Christian out of ARgyle and Life Oak Dallas.

3 Bullard- lost to Gladewater Sabine early in November  30 to 43. and they have to big 6-4 players. I think only one of them can really hoop though.

4  Pleasant Grove-  is Horrible i think that is y their in the pool with HJ.

[Lazeek]

Pleasant Grove horrible????  They got their football players on Monday......this team returns a ton of players and lost in the Regional Final to Dallas Madison last year.  They were preseason #4 in 3A!!!!  They are not horrible........they may struggle this week with it being the first week, but by seasons end will be in the mix in Region II!!!

[no-look]

Huntington is 9-3. Beat Nacogdoches last night but Nac is down this year........Crockett will be tough.

[UncleDrew]

Is Sabine the same Sabine team that came last year??

[Lazeek]

Yes.

[UncleDrew]

Ok i thought so..i was just making sure...Lazeek will i see you there tomorrow??

[Lazeek]

[UncleDrew]

Yea that should be a good game, and i might just have to....but i think you might already know me from last year  ;)

[Lazeek]

Krum has won a couple of games, but we are way down from last year. We graduated 7-8 seniors from last year's team, so they are rebuilding.  Seem to be improving each game, but definitely not a threat this year.

Valley View is in the district with Ponder and Krum.  They do have good size, but they lost their top scorer from last year's team, which was the third playoff team out of our district.  They defeated Peaster in the first round of the playoffs.

When Bullard lost to Sabine Bullard had 3 starters out. They still have one key starter out right now and gave Kountze all they could handle. Fully healthy they could win this tournament. It will be hard to beat Crockett with one of their top players out.

You might want to check your facts topdawg. Bullard starter, Ryan Wood, is out. Look at their bench. He is the one on crutches. He had ankle surgery Tuesday and he was Bullard's 2nd or 3rd leading scorer. No excuses, just facts.

I got a chance to watch several of the pool games yesterday as well as getting a tour of the new school and all the facilities.The school is very nice and Big Rich's gumbo was off the chart.I was impressed with Bullard in the game against Kountze.I think the Lions have the best club no doubt but they caught a HUGE break when #10 fouled out on a questionable technical call.LCM and EC were pretty even but neither looked to be anywhere near where they have been in the past few years.HJ looked very good against a Pleasant Grove team that had obviously had just got together.You may want to avoid this grouo 2 or 3 weeks down the road.What happened to Coach West at Anahuac,I didn't see him and the Panthers looked to be down from the club they had last year.I think we are looking at HJ/Kountze 2 in the finals.That will be great for the fans.
