[quote name="LSU 9800" post="1110254" timestamp="1320883994"] My point exactly UT Fan average teams make excuses as to why they loose. When Kountze was winning championships they won big games.  You are going to eventually have to beat some ranked teams to win a championship no matter how early or late you meet them in the playoffs.  Kountze has not won a big game that mattered since 07 state championship team.  Tell me why this year will be any different? [/quote] Answer me this, since you mentioned the last two 24-AA schools to make it to the Regional Tournament, how many RANKED teams did they face to get there? I'll wait while you waste your time perusing the UIL site to come out empty-handed. As utfan mentioned, playoffs is all about matchups and who's hot at that point in the season. It clear that you lack capacity to understand "playoff" basketball. The teams Kountze has faced in the QUARTERFINAL round have been highly ranked (#1 and #3) in the past few years. Some even went as far as saying that those mentioned matchups were the "State" or even "Regional" championship matchup because BOTH teams were THAT good.

[quote name="LSU 9800" post="1110218" timestamp="1320882402"] Can anyone name the last two teams from 24AA to make it to the regional tournament?  It has not been Kountze.  It was EC and Anahuac.  [b]Kountze didnt even win the district championship last year. [/b]  Could be a while before things get back to the way they used to be. [/quote] :o For the 1st time in 16 years Kountze did not win a District Championship. You're saying that as if they've been struggling for years now. Clearly not the case here. When Kountze doesn't win the district championship, it comes as a shock to everyone, including yourself.

So, who gets the 1st seat on the bench?  :D :D

Way to make things right Kountze. Positive outcome and everyone gets who/what they want!

Wow! I am pleased and elated about this outcome. I am proud to say the board found a way to make the best out of an ugly situation. Still shocked to say the least.

[quote name="MBaller#1" post="1026232" timestamp="1311093023"] I could be wrong but from what i heard coach jubert has been in serious talks about the silsbee job and wants that job and will get that job but the superintendant and principal are out of town and he must tal to them also but the principal at silsbee was at kountze and i'm sure will have no problem welcoming coach jubert in to tiger town and man i hope so their will be a solid basketball program from top to bottom their always have been but we would be getting a man that i feel will finally get us over the top for so many years i feel we haven't had a coach to get us over the top coach sig was always a regular seae littlson coach and not to sucessful in the playoffs and coach t and brooks have done a fabulous job as well but i feel like coach joubert can coach and develope young players we have had too many big men that really have not been properly trained and fundementally trained i feel he can really clean up a lot of things at silsbee and get this team mentally and pysically prepared from the little dribblers to middle school to high school coach joubert can get the job done coach joubert is our coach at silsbee high [/quote] World record for longest incomplete sentence....  :D :D Did you take a breath while typing this?

Congrats to Coach Goffney! You ended our Championship run 2 years in a row...  :'( :'( :D

As long as the transfer is not [b][i]during [/i] [/b] the school year the kid will be allowed to play on any team immediately.

[quote name="HTA" post="1025480" timestamp="1310875218"] I just noticed that Kountze ISD website is anouncing their new AD/HD FB coach on Wednesday, July 20th! [/quote] Post a link. Then again, it would be only be right if Kountze did make a hire of this "magnitude" in such a short time frame.  ::)

[quote name="bobbymcgee" post="1025379" timestamp="1310851345"] If  Joubert wants to be the AD he should apply for the head football job. Simple enough. [/quote] In your dreams. It doesn't take a "Football Coach" to be an AD. I'm sure the recent Kountze ISD administration knows that VERY well since they appointed a TRAINER to the AD position.  ::) Talk about a joke of a hire! Puh-leeze!

As a graduate of Kountze High I am embarrassed at this entire situation. Clearly these things could have been handled more professionally. I will say this. Duane Joubert is a FOOTBALL guy coaching basketball. He's been successful in football so wouldn't it make even more sense to hiring him as AD and allowing him to hire a football coach rather than bringing in someone with NO VISION for the ENTIRE athletic program? I'm hoping the right candidate is chosen in the best interest of the kids within the district. They deserve someone who's willing to build from the ground up and work with them while they're in middle school and even youth football to a certain extent. That's where it starts. Think about when the basketball team's success took off. It started in 1993, the first year Kountze started Little Dribblers, investing in its youth. Since then, it's been nothing but history and championships for the basketball program. I was fortunate and athletic enough to play 4 sports while I was in high school and I can say that we had more "athletes" on our football team at the time than we did on our State Semi-Finalist basketball team. Think about that for a second. It didn't hit me until after I graduated that we could have been more successful in football had we put the same amount of work in during the off-season than we did with basketball. Our summers were spent playing basketball, with football not becoming priority until 2-a-days started in August. With that approach, basketball was "second nature" to us because we played it so much. I am so glad that I'm too far away to even be in the midst of what's going because just reading and hearing about the issues within the School Board and School District is gut wrenching to say that I spent my 13 years of my life there getting an education. Again, I hope the best candidate is chosen for this position and every possible option is exhausted to make the best hire, for the kids. Not for the parents or school board members satisfaction. Every applicant deserves a "fair" chance.

According to the Kountze ISD website they are looking for a Football Coach/Athletic Director. There are rumblings around Kountze that the School Board and newly-appointed Superintendent has no intention to hire Joubert as Athletic Director. Bad move on their part! There is a school board meeting scheduled for Monday. Supposedly this will be a heated meeting regarding the events that have unfolded recently within the district.

Must be more to the story at WOS where it would prompt him to leave Kountze "basketball" for a pigskin position at WOS. [/quote] I believe Tremain will be an assistant basketball coach at WOS as well, but I am still a little surprised that he left Kountze. [/quote] Yea, I figured that too and I knew they were good friends. He's been playing against Jason since Little Dribblers all through their days in the Southland Conference (Nicholls State, Northwestern State). I thought he would be the next guy in line once Joubert left.

Stay tuned....  ;) :D Hancock and football? ??? ??? Must be more to the story at WOS where it would prompt him to leave Kountze "basketball" for a pigskin position at WOS.

Morehead State has crashed millions of brackets today!  :( :(

Congrats to Zay and Jamazon for representing Kountze. I expect to see big things in the next 2 years from Powell with him only being a SOPHOMORE and the shortest player on the court at times.  :D :D Kountze will be better next year.

Could he have been one of "many" who assumed Tatum would roll Idalou therefore his presence wouldn't be needed?

Complete list?  ???
