bball2011 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Do you think Kountze has improved enough to make it a couple rounds deep into the playoffs...There is nobody in the District that can play with them, not even close. I'm just worried that this will effect them in close games.
KHSAlum400 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Judging from how they played early in the season to how they're playing now I think they're poised to make a surprising run. Playoffs is all about peaking at the right time and which team has the momentum. I think the Lions have both right now. Also, not being ranked, believe it or not is helping this team, psychologically. They now have to prove themselves to everyone. We need to face a good DEFENSIVE team in the warm-up game if we're able to. I think we're in a good position considering how far this young group has come.
aTmfan06 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 I wonder which team we will play at area.. anyone know who the first round matchup we get the winner of will be?

Our opponent in the Area round is still up in the air between Frankston/Sabine (2nd and 3rd - Dist. 21) vs. Newton/Woden (2nd and 3rd- Dist. 23). We'll face the winner of that game. Frankston/Sabine face each other Tuesday. The winner of that game will play the lose out of Newton/Woden who play each other Friday.If we win the Area round, we'll more than likely face the winner of Central Heights and Crockett.
BADSANTA Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Kountze won't lose to the same team 3 times in a year.

KHSAlum400 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Interesting playoff fact. Since we won the State Championship in 2007, we've lost every year in the Quarterfinal round. Out of the four teams that beat us 3 of them went on to either the Regional Finals (Crockett - '11) or State Tournament (New Waverly - '09, '10).We just need to get back to the Regional Tournament! LOL! We've won 100% of our Regional Semi-final games once we got there... ;)
aTmfan06 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Crockett isn't what they usually are but still good
whsalum Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Size is the Lions Achilles this year.They play hard but just aren't anywhere near as big across the press as they have been in the past.I see them winning their first playoff game but probably not their second.The scores are misleading because the district clubs are not real strong this season.
bbfan1955 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 Are you saying you can't win without size, if so tell that to silsbee because they just keep on winning and they don't have any size

I will say this though, before Ashton Hall, CJ Busby, Roman Walker, and Devin Bray, we had NO size. All we had was quickness which led to excellent defense and we could shoot the lights out.
