[KHSAlum400]

Kountze loses to Central Heights, again. 59-34. SMH :(

[whsalum]

Been a long time since I saw the Lions score 34 !!!!

[snuffy]

Why is Kountze so up and down this yr?  I really thought it would be Kountze and White Oak in the finals but the Lions get rolled up on for the second time this yr by Central Heights. 

[aTmfan06]

Idk.. we got everyone back.. just gonna be one of those years..

[BMTSoulja1]

Kountze fans, it'll be ok.  You're right.  It's one of those years.  Weather the storm, make a push for the playoffs and get those young guns some experience.  I see good things on the horizon for this Lion team.

Tell me about it! I'm used to us putting up 34 in one quarter!

Don't really know what's going on. Youth, inexperience. Combination of both.

I don't think we got a good true point guard.. definitely don't have size.. and young players .. but the guard play will come next season hopefully :-)

San Augustine 49, Chireno 41
Stamford 66, Leggett 58

[KHSAlum400]

Seriously Kountze!? Tenaha? Let's just focus on winning district now and preparing for next season. We need a PG in the worst way. SMH

[Tedlevon]

Any idea who's gonna step up next year for the Lions? I don't understand the up-and-down this year. I mean they've got some talent, but what's going on? At least the JV kids seem to have it together game-in and game-out. Maybe a few of them will make a good transition next season. Any opinions? I'm interested in getting other folks' takes on this.

The ugly truth is that next year Graylond Arnold is supposed to step in at PG, as a TRUE FRESHMAN. From what I've heard he is and will be better than all three of the Hancock guards that came through Kountze.

Yep, he'll look good in Tiger maroon and white. ;)

Not short-selling Kountze on this season; being new in town, I asked some people at the games-they've basically told me that a lot of the talent will be gone after this year. I was wondering what the make-up of the program was and how it will all pan out. I'm enjoying watching them play and hope they can right the ship. If half the things I hear about the coaches there are true (especially Coach Joubert), then they should be able to overcome a shaky start to this season. Didn't mean to imply that the season was lost. Sorry if I sounded gloomy.

I actually think its the opposite. We have few freshmen playing Varsity this year and a JV squad that's pretty good. We only lose Haynes, Linn and Warren this year. I'm actually anxious to see what D. Harper will do once he's cleared to play next week.

[whsalum]

I've watched Kountze several times this year and youth isn't their problem.They are the smallest on the press I've ever seen a Lions club be so they are not getting the turnovers to run the break.The biggest trouble I've seen in the half court game is they don't have anyone to put pressure on the middle of the defense to open Linn up behind the arc.They basically have 4 people watching the man with the ball on the offensive end.On the bright side they have a guy on the bench that won't rest until he gets them lined out.They will finish in the top 2 in the district this year but I don't see a long playoff run for the Lions this year.It's dangerous to put all your eggs in a freshmans basket no matter how good he is projected to be.
