    That team was one of, if not the best Buna has had since the 60's.

    Yes, they were very good. Had the tall Marks kid, with Michael McCain and a few others. We split in district and then Kountze won the tiebreaker in Silsbee. In the Regional Final Buna had a double-digit halftime lead and we came back and won it on a 3-pointer at the buzzer

    Yeah it sucked pretty bad as a Buna fan. Most of the town had that team picked to be the first state tourney team from Buna since the 60's. They had everything you could want in a small school basketball team; size, several skilled players, a true big man with a soft touch and low post skill, years of chemistry from playing with each other, and a deep bench. It just goes to show that anything can happen in the playoffs, and some things just aint meant to be. 

    Were you around for the 2000 Regional Final game with Kountze and Buna?

    Watch out for Newton, they can sneak up and bite you. I don't know anything about them this year, but 2 years ago they eliminated a really good Buna team in the 2nd round in a game they really should not have won. Buna was the better team in just about every category other than athleticism, but Newton got HOT from the 3 pt. line and Buna failed to adjust properly on defense. Newton ended up winning in OT. They were very athletic and played decent team defense, but they really didn't do anything special on offense other than have the best 3 pt. shooting performance I have ever seen in my life, at any level, and I'm not exaggerating. It felt like they literally shot over 75% from the 3 line. I think they hit over 15 3's if I remember correctly..... Which was even more unbelievable because they were one of the worst shooting teams in warmups that I had seen that year........ Anyway, that is old news but it's all I know about Newton lol. 

    I remember that game. Buna and Kountze fans were looking for a Game 4 in the Regional tournament but Buna got upset by Newton.
