That's a live ball.  If it hits something (like a cord or bar) that is not part of the backboard, it is a dead ball.  But the top of the backboard is not out of play.  

Kountze ends half on 25-8 run.

Look I'd love to see either one make it. But the fact of the matter is this district is down this year. Kountze isn't near what they usually are. Do they still work hard and do their best ? Yes they do. But look from a talent standpoint it's just not the same. This area as a whole besides Silsbee is that strong . Yeah Buna has a pretty decent team this year and they are "top 15". You know how many times Kountze has been top 10.. let alone top 5 ranked and haven't made it past regionals ? Several.

With the blocked shot happening before the contact, unless the contact is intentional or flagrant, the contact is incidental thus ignored.

Then the wrong call was made according to this rule.

That's the biggest point of all at the end. As in this Silsbee play, Lead official should NEVER rule on goaltending/basket interference from behind the backboard.
Great job Lazeek, should I forward you the registration forms for officiating...as illustrated, we take all comers

True.  Like I said, not the worst I've seen.  Foul is probably the correct call there.  

I'm with st413.  Probably not goaltending, but it looked a pretty clear foul to me.  He got a lot of body.  It's a foul they might not call with 7 seconds left, but I think they call it with 7 minutes left.  It is what it is.

One of the more impressive teams I have seen this year is the Leggett Pirates. Coach Stewart is doing a tremendous job with his team. They are 8-1 overall after going 5-0 and winning the championship at the West Sabine tourney. They defeated West Sabine twice, Burkeville, Kirbyville and in the finals defeated a very good Shelbyville team, 60-50. These wins all over much bigger schools and teams.
When I say much bigger teams, not so much the size of the players, but the amount of players. You see, Leggett only has 6 players on their team. SIX!! I spoke with Coach Stewart after their win over West Sabine Friday and I asked if he had players out. His reply, "I wish". The six he has is the six he will have for entire season. Incredible!!
Speaking of his six players. His starting 5 is very good, with 4 of those that can lead the team in scoring in any game. Two of those are very special in #24 and #42. #24 is a '6"3 wing player who will be a complete match up nightmare for any team at the 1A level. He can score off the dribble, can post up and shoot from outside. #42 is a '6"5 post player that looks like he could play TE/DE for many 4A or above football teams. He has good touch around basket, very good rebounding skills and is a shot blocking machine. Both very impressive.
I will definitely keep my eye on this team. Just hope for no injury because that would be devastating for this team.

He stepped up big time in the playoffs last year for Kountze. 6'3"- 6'4" kid around 250 lbs. Last year was his first year playing basketball I believe. He still needs polishing but if he gets better as the season goes on he could cause problems inside with his size. 

Well not like we havent seen this type of team before as you said lace em up and get to work nothing like a final exam to start the season lol

Ok the season is over and all who have posted I asked one question? Can you explain to me what was the rules my son broke, and the conditions for him to return to team? Everyone want to have their own view about my son, but then hide behind fake names. I am more than willing to go toe to toe with anyone who publicly want to discuss what happen, as long as they use their true identity. I am proud of my son and Legacy, no matter if it's private or 5A. And for the guy who said their team would beat them by 80 maybe so, but you would know his name about time the game was over. I am proud that in the end he still pulled and kept up with his former teammates, and many have stayed with him as well. This world you can't STOP at a person perception of you, you can't STOP when a mistake becomes you. You raise your head and remember, WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE-EVEN FORGIVEN HEARTS!  GO WARRIORS 

Well for those who were questioning the move it obviously worked in his favor . Congrats 

Donahoe had scholarship papers from SFA on the coaches desk on signing day and he refused to sign because his AAU COACH had him convinced that a major D-1 was coming.  The kid that SFA signed in his place started in NCAA tourney 2 years later.

No this guy would have come out of high school in 93....He was NICE! I want to say his name was Terrino?

Just two guys that popped into my head were both from Kountze. Devon Bray and Roman Walker

Yep. We (Kountze) had a team also. I was a young pup (freshman) trying to play with the big dogs... Lol! Those games went down multiple times a week! 

Kountze - TJ Stanford, Tiger Edwards

Looks like Devon is the only freshman listed in any classification. Amazing achievement and he is a great kid. Congrats To him

He's only in the 5th grade... Lol! Can you tell how desperate I am for talent? Lol! I'm not sure what middle school he'll attend next year. Just want him to "come on home" within the next three years... 

I wonder at times if we don't all lose some perspective on how competitive our area and particularly our Region is.  We beat each other up on this board (mostly in fun) but we should be thankful for the players, coaches and parents that put so much time and $$ into creating a good competetive environment.  It is frustrating to see a team like Levelland who frankly was not very good getting an opportunity to have a State Tourney experience when if they played in districts in our area they might not make the playoffs. There's no real solution and every Region will have down years from time to time  but maybe it's time to take a minute and appreciate what we have and that is quality HS sports competition that everyone should be proud of.  

Exactly what we saw last night.  We were only at the hospital maybe 20 minutes.  Must have been  50 Tiger fans there and she wanted to accommodate any that wanted to see him. We didn't go back so to not take time from the important ones but it was great to see such support for the young man.  We were told what the dr said and it was a great diagnosis after the way it looked.  Thanks to everyone online and in the dome.  

Mrs. McCain wanted this posted:
He (Devon) is going to be okay. Very minimal injury that is not life threatening. She thanks all of you for the support and prayers. Keep the prayers coming for continued improvement.

Devon is conscious and being taken off on a stretcher.  Grreat that he's ok.

Please say a prayer for Devon McCain. I pray he's ok!
