Final from Kountze tonight

Looks like we played a little better

Not taking anything from Kountze, they can play for sure!  But do they play any 3A teams other than in tournaments?
Seems their schedule is heavy laden with very small 1A teams...again, I know they can play, I've watched them twice this year.  Just wondering.

What 3a teams besides HJ and Silsbee would give Kountze a good game??... besides WOS we have played everyone in that district.. the 1a teams we have played are state ranked besides Evadale...

You beat me to it. I guess we need to play 4A/5A teams now to get ready for district and playoffs.

[/quote]Well, I know you were probably digging a little, and thats OK.  But sure! Kountze has one heck of a basketball tradition and I'd dang sure be playing up...way up if needed.  With Kountze its not about getting ready for district its about getting ready for the drive to Austin!  Leggett, Goodrich???  No way ranked teams in [b]Div II[/b] 1A should even be considered.  I'm just making an observation. 
An Example is WOS in football, those guys play up and travel to get tough games, not games they expect to blow someone out but games they expect to get their nose bloodied a bit. 
Sorry, I'll leave you basketball fellas alone...

In the past 4 years Leggett AND Goodrich have both been STATE semi-finalist in their respective classification. I would understand your observation more if we played just ANY 1A school, regardless of ranking. As mentioned before, outside of H-J and Silsbee on the 3A level in SE Texas, no one offers any competition. I myself wouldn't know if Joubert attempted to schedule any 4A teams in the area, but I do know that in years past, it was difficult schedule those 4A/5A teams for their fear of losing to a "2A" team. Now that I think of it, you asked about Kountze scheduling lower classified teams and getting nothing out of the game. How do you think those 4A/5A schools feel when asked about scheduling Kountze, [u]a team 2 or 3 classifications lower[/u]? Would you then be asking them the same question?

for Example the 07-08 year..Kountze tried to schedule ozen but they wouldn't play them.... yes that is the year ozen went to austin.... Kountze played alot of good teams that year... Lost to Pflugville Conally by 2 in the Lufkin Tour... ( Pflugerville lost to South oak cliff State semis by 4...)... also played several other 4a and private schools in FW tour... so its not Joubert Fault that the bigger school want play us...

It ain't always the size of the dog in the fight,it's the size of the fight in the dog.I watched Cayuga a couple of times this past week and they could darn sure challenge any of the local schools.You're exactly right about the Lions,the only local 3-a clubs that play with them locally are HJ,Silsbee and Cleveland and they have already played 2 of those.No disrespect to Kountze's club this year but I don't think they have Austin potential like some of the clubs in recent years.Duane will schedule what he needs to get them ready and he will get all they have to give.
