Kountzer Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 My cousin played trumpet in the Kashmere marching band. He wasn't good enough for the stage band. He used to tell me all those stories.I love Silsbee though. Don't get it twisted. I'm not fanatical about it, but there's something about growing up in a small town that is hard to explain.
ST413 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Posted February 21, 2013 Just like has been said the Tigers must focus on Kashmere and get this win.
Kountzer Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Yep. They need to stay focused. If they look past this game, thinking about the next, this could turn into a trap. I've heard of some crazy things happening in the playoffs, to Silsbee teams at that.Silsbee should take this though.
BADSANTA Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 I have seen crazy things happen to Silsbee in the playoffs 1st hand.

As a result I spent a lot of time in both places. I got cousins that graduated from Kashmere. I attended one year of school at Lamar Fleming Middle School. Then I got homesick and went back to the Silsbee school district. Most of the basketball talent would go to Wheatley. Kashmere had that golden era during the Karl Godine period. I don't remember them doing too much more basketball wise before or since. Now the Kashmere stage band led by Conrad Johnson, that's a different story.

I started my career at Kashmere coaching under my father. My dad arrived there from Madison in 1996, and retired in 2007...from 96-07, Kashmere won district 7 out of those 11 years, won 20 or more games EVERY year, made the playoffs EVERY year, and made four regional tourney appearances...SINCE my dad retired...ONE PLAYOFF APPEARANCE in 2013...By the way, when I coached there in 1997-2000, Kashmere was an ACADEMICALLY EXEMPLARY campus...Yes it has really changed since those days, but I was apart of a MAJOR turn around in that program...We actually were #1 in the state in the 1998-1999 season, the year we lost to PA Lincoln in the regional....On another note, I was the freshman coach as a rookie, and my teams went 33-1, 32-0, & 34-0, winning three city championships along the way, before I left to go to Ozen....Just thought I would throw that in there! ;D ;D

BADSANTA Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Kashmere has a great movie produced by Jamie Foxx. Doesn't mattet Silsbee wins! Holmes and Elam will be far too much.
Kountzer Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 Kashmere may have had some good years. I didn't keep up with them all that hard. Changing the subject, Coach Frankie Brazos, great guy. Coach Carmen Stewart, another one. Danny Thomas? Among other things he was world class at playing the dozens back in middle school. I haven't seen the Jamie Foxx movie about the Kashmere Stage band. I've discussed it with some people I know from that era, like Lorice Rose, Jr, whom I know from church. Just the same, go Silsbee.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 Carmen Stewart!!!!!! How in da he%$$$ you know him???????? Frankie and Carmen were my mentors. Some of the best basketball minds in Houston.
Dick Vitale Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 Carmen Stewart coached at Yates, not Kashmere.
Kountzer Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 Coach Brazos, Coach Carmen Stewart, Danny Thomas. They were all at Lamar Fleming when I was there. My cousins kept me up to date on them when I went back to Silsbee.
