Super nice man .  Loved to watch him coach. 

Heard it was sooner to happen than later 

Hardin kid hit the ball. thrown out at 1st.  Well before he was there.  He then ran over the first baseman and they started fighting.  2nd baseman came to help.  Benches cleared.   
 

Hardin was at bat so the rest of the team left bench.  Kountze had 3-4 leave bench as they were already on field.  

Coach Hillin would not condone this.  

Congrats to all #409.   Let’s go Zac !

It doesn't matter what any of us think.  It's the district coaches' decision and they picked the best player on the best team so it can't be that egregious. 

I do think there should be some accountability with these votes, though.  These are public schools so the voting should be open to public record.  Maybe they could even do it at a place like Twin Peaks and people could present their case with film and stats.  Then we could see who voted for who without all the backwoods politicking. I think I would go to that all district meeting. 

They have had some meetings in public.  But they would Never want dads, moms, and pawpaws bringing video and flow charts to show why little johnny should get an award. 

the coaches bring stats and score books to the meeting.  They put up numbers for who they want for each award.  It's not back woods politicking.    

Ask your head coach who they thought should win those awards,

I gotta ask the age old question, is there anyone who doesn’t make all district?

Evidently.   Only all the Kountze players make it , it’s biased.  

The votes are counted.  And you have to be nominated for each award and have enough votes.   Sells most certainly deserved MVP, offense and defense side of the ball .   Scales most certainly deserved O MVP.  Can score anywhere on the court.   And from not making playoffs to where they landed Joubert did an awesome job.   
    Can’t wait till next season 

Hitchcock has 4 seniors. 2 start.  But also 3 junior starters returning.  Gifted athletes , big and quick. 
 

congrats Kountze on getting to the region 3 final.  Put in work for next season.  

Our first half was sloppy.  The other move in came from Warren, but used to live in Kountze and moved back. He is a Senior coming off the bench.    Warren and Lowe each had quiet 14 point games.   
    Tarkington was better than I thought in the first half.   Threes were not falling.   Seem young. So should be even better next year.  

49-28. End 3.  Ktz 

39-22.    Time out Tarkington 

29-20. Half.   Ktz 

13-9. End 1.   Kountze 

Pulling for OF

The goal of almost every team Ever,  is to limit the touches of the opponents best shooter.  Defense stepped up after going down 0-10.   All teams grab shirts , shorts what ever they can.  They frustrate the player with the ball.  Everyone thinks Scales is a phenomenal athlete.  But frustrating him is the goal.  Just like teams try to limit Sells.   Refs call how they call,  Joubert preaches to his players , play the game and let him worry about the Ref.  An 18-2 run is Not the refs.   When you have been guarded the entire game , denied the ball and having to run around the gym all night ,  you also get tired.  Makes you miss shots later.  Legs are dead in the 4th.   Good luck in the playoffs and get ready for more of the same defense .  Hitchcock was there watching both teams.   Whitmire has done a good job and will be ready.

That was the game in a nutshell IMO. Kountze was allowed to be so much more physical on Orangefield’s ball handlers, and especially so with Ghost, reaching and hand checking all the way down the court, getting into his body, and grabbing and holding him on every inbounds play. Whereas Sells lived at the line down the stretch. Several weak calls in the second half and OF wasn’t getting that same whistle.

Kountze felt that way in game 2 when Sells fouled out. 

Turnovers

Kountze            10

Orangefield       17

Fouls

Kountze             14

Orangefield       13

Fouls were about even.  And refs were not bad but did miss calls on both sides.  It came down to holding Scales to 7 points.  

@AggiesAreWe  Thank for the updates and stats,  you are appreciated.    
    Good game, playoff atmosphere.   Wrinkle had an awesome game, left everything on the court.    And he has good sportsmanship.  Really nice kid.   
   Sells was motivated for sure.  Kountze defended much better and drove to the basket more.    Kountze’s bench came up big as well. Good game to lead to playoffs for both teams.   

Final. Ktz. 83   Buna.   45
