10 days of killed us big time! We were super rusty. Tatum is aggressive team an this loosely called game favored their style of defense

I've been watching Kountze play for years and have never seen them play a game where they didn't want it called aggresively.

You mean that "weak" 2A team that played in the HJ tournament beat Kountze??

Tatum was the most athletic looking team in the HJ tournament.  Guess they are for real.  Great season KTZ, you will be strong again next season.

I stated I'm that tourney that I liked Tatum and their chance against Kountze,  But I can't believe Kountze only scored 49.

I dont think kountze would of beat newton the way we played in the 2nd half

1st time to see Kountze this year. I think the loss of #12 in the 1st qtr hurt them some and one certain official never called anything for Kountze. Feel sorry for the lions. Also it seemed the full court pressure went away in the 2nd half. Not sure why, maybe Tatum had the answer or Kountze getting a little tired. #22 with two intentional fouls right towards the end was the dagger,IMO. Don't know why he was doing that? Tatum also had more talent off the bench and fresh players. The guy that impressed me the most was #5 from Kountze, a Freshman according to the program. Hats off to Tatum and congrats to K town on a good season.

Refs did a better job in the second half. First half nothing was called and it got rough....Looked like Tatum made some adjustments in the second half...one of those games where you hate to see the other lose....

Tough loss,  Tatum got to every loose ball it seems, and great rebounding effort.

Outplayed, out-hustled, outcoached. They were way more physical than us and that frustrated the Lions because they weren't getting the calls. We needed a warmup game, BAD!

Tatum hit us in the mouth in the 3rd quarter and we had no response because no team had done that in the past two months to us.

Stood in line for 45 minutes to see this game and was not disappointed in the players effort.  Was very disappointed in the refs!!!  They let the game get way to physical.  It was called very bad on both sides, no one got an advantage off of that. 
Someone mentioned earlier that Tatum had more depth.  That was probably a key as they subed a lot and never seemed to lose anything with them.  Not sure why Kountze stopped pressing; it may not have lead to many turnovers but it also did not lead to very many Tatum easy baskets. 
Was surpised Tatum was not bigger height wise than they were but they dang sure can rebound.
Sad to see Kountze players after the game; they gave it their all and came up short.  Good luck to Tatum in their potential matchup with White Oak.

WOW !!! Tatum holds Kountze to 49. Kountze has a great team and had a great year. Good luck to both teams.
