2016-2017 Kountze Football

I have read a few things on here about the program. I want to know everyone's thoughts on next years football team. Did they lose a lot of guys from this year? Do they have any returners that should make noise? DO they have a chance of a playoff run next year or in the future? I am new to the area and really curious about the Lions. Please give your honest opinion.

Well I certainly will not take a shot at Kountze for supporting Jesus, but I will say the biggest obstacle for Kountze Football is community support and a demand to make it a priority. Make it a priority like they do in other extra curricular activities. Kountze will have to rebuild over the next few years and participation is going to be an issue. In addition, having a small coaching staff in comparison does not bode well for a successful off season development program. Coach Joubert is doing what can with what he has...my question is how long he stays in the grinder??? After this year the talk is; even in Basketball there will be drop in Success. Kountze has probably lost 200 students in the past 8 years and that hurts your participation numbers and hurts your finances as that corrilates to around a million dollar loss with no tax base to make it up.

Most of the Kountze posters hang out in the basketball forums.

 

Kountze hasn't had a lot of success over the years, which is even more disappointing considering that they had D1 Baylor commit Grayland Arnold.  

 

They support Jesus, not necessarily the football team.  

 

Wow..

I think it's a tough situation over there in Kountze. I hope for the sake of the kids, they get things turned around but I don't believe the current coaching staff including the AD will stay around waiting for the right things to be done in order to make their job better, easier and worthwhile.

I keep waiting for Joubert to decide to move on. As long as he was basketball only, I thought he'd stay forever. Now that he is venturing into football coaching, why in the world would he want to be in Kountze? Someone will give him a shot because he is a heck of a coach.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
