I think Kountze would be affected the most without Sells, then OF without Ragusa, then Perrault.  But with the other two being seniors, Sells will be the favorite the next two years.  

You would recognize a few of them from Beaumont too 😂😂

Hasn’t sells put up 40 several times. To me he screams offensive player of the year

Lumberton 23. Kountze.  29.   Half 

Probably because Coach Sutherland is a nice guy and didn’t run it up like it was possible.

It’s def about matchups 

Red press.   Ragusa had 40 or 42 tonight ,  unstoppable tonight.   

As you stated, Whitmire did more with less. From what I witnessed, he got every ounce out of those with less talent to step their game.
I’m sure Buna has won or lost games they should or shouldn’t have. That can be said of all schools. Where does the blame go, the coach.
Bottom line: Support your community, your kids, your school, your team, and your coach.
As The Beach Boys sang back in 1963,
Be True To Your School.
Good Luck to all.

I think everyone would agree Joubert is a good coach.  Yet from 2014 through 2017, Whitmire had a winning record against Kountze and that was during the Arnold, Harper, Stanford era when Kountze basketball was at a really good place (not the apex of Lion basketball but certainly toward the top).  So I would, in fact, argue Whitmire did more with less.  And that is no slight on Wilson.  He was also a really good hire. But to try and downplay what Whitmire did at Buna shows either sour grapes or an extreme lack of knowledge of the game of basketball (or both).  

I think Daniel Marsh graduated in 08, they were solid that year. They beat Kountze at Hardin and made the playoffs .

Go do your HW…. he took over that program in 99 i belive and 01-02 took them to the regional tournament right before he left for Kountze 

Will be a tough task but they can still get in. 
 
I think running off whitmire was the biggest mistake they could have ever made for that basketball program. 

Final.   Kountze. 58.   Kirbyville  24 
Lionettes are 31-2.   14-0 in District 

I think people need to understand that this team for kountze is
6 sophomores 2 juniors 1 freshmen 
the only kid with real varsity experience is Sells. the big Warren kid played about 7 mins a game last year. also the 4 teams they are battling with all have at least 6 seniors on the team. ( i still think kountze sneaks in the playoffs ) 
This is where the lack of consistency comes from. A year from now the district is in trouble , and 2 years from now the entire state may be in trouble at the 3a level. 

Were you at the game tonight?

30-20 Anahuac

Freshman Cam Johnson providing a major spark off the bench

To say Kountze struggles with consistency is a massive understatement. But it’s pretty expected from a team that returned 1 Varsity starter, 0 Seniors, and a swarm of Sophomores. The two Juniors play some big time minutes though. With the 8th grader coming, Kountze can be a real problem in the next 2-3 years. If they could get the older brother back they would be that much better. Either way, the next couple years should be a fun ride.

When shots are falling Kountze can beat anyone.  When they aren’t, they will struggle (a la OF).  I’ve thought EC was the second best team in the district all year but they got a comfortable win in Winnie.  We will see how it goes Friday.  But there isn’t a great margin between any of the top 5 teams in that district (adding Anahuac and Buna).  Any can beat the other (even comfortably) on any given night. 

He was and deservedly so.  IF he’s not the best player in the district now, he definitely should be the next two years.  But he’s putting up all state number as a sophomore.  There are some really fun kids to watch in this district.  Sells is probably the most exciting of the bunch. 

I will post them in the morning.
Right now trying to gather up final scores.

I did. 

86-50 Kountze
Final
Z. Sells- 46 points
