Both of Kountzes big kids 15 and 25 are good players.If I had to guess I say they both go JUCO early in their collegiate careers and then move on up if they develope.Similiar to what Busby and Powell did a few years back though I'm not sure where those 2 are now.I think this will be Kountzes closest district game.

The talent level overall for the area is down somewhat this year so I don't think we will have any D1 signees.The JUCO door will definitely be open for the 2 kids from Kountze.If Walker hadn't hurt his knee he would have been a legitimate prospect because he has all the tools.These 2 can both jump out of the gym but are under sized to play the post in college and don't handle the ball well enough to go D1 right out of high school.That being said they could both refine their game somewhere like Baytown or Angelina and then step in to the big arena.

Amen.They are the most unpredictable club in the area this year, BUT, they have tons of potential when they get it going.

The coach at EC knows his players and has always gotten the most out of them.I've seen them play several times this year and there isn't much difference in his first 7 or 8 players,He is probably trying to keep fresh legs on the floor and score off the defense because he doesn't have a dominate offensive threat.That will keep you in most games except when the other team has better atheletes as Kountze and Anahuac do.If the Bucs get in the playoffs this will be a successful season for them.Have faith in your coach,he knows his stuff.

That's not good for the Bucs playoff prospects.

Anahuac always has some good Atheletes and Coach West will get everything they have to offer.No disrespect to EC but they just aren't real strong this year.They will have to bring there "A" game to get the 3rd spot since this loss was at Winnie.If they make the playoffs I don't see them going past the 1st round.JMO

I would hate to keep the books  ;) ;)

Ricossa is a huge part of the HJ puzzle.I think they beat NW with a healthy Ricossa but I would have to give the Lions the edge in a head to head matchup if Ricossa doesn't play.All that doesn't matter though both games have already been played.

MERCY RULE: Practice and get better if you don't want to get embarrased!!!!

They don't pull much of a crowd for the #2 team in the nation.

Where was this game at ?? I knew it could be ugly if it was at Anahuac,they are tough to beat at home.

Anahuac will give Kountze there closest game in district.Unfortunately for the rest of the district Kountze wins by 40.

If you have 15 players and play them all you can't tell 11-15 not to score.They put in the work you have to let them play the game.I know Yates is a powerhouse but there are ways to keep a club from scoring 170.Lee needs to get in the gym and work to at least make themselves respectable.I can see them having to pay a steep price for those break away slams in the future.

[quote name="court side" post="739357" timestamp="1262799614"] WOW!!! I thought EC was going to take the #2 spot in district. Not what I expected [/quote]I've seen all these clubs play and this district is a toss up from 2 thru 5, they are a toss up on any given night.

Warren doesn't seem to want to play this year for some reason.They are real small but I thought going in to the season they would hustle and get after folks.Unfortunately they haven't.I will be surprised if they win many more this season.

The long holiday break is almost impossible to keep kids focused and playing well.Give them their regular schedule back Monday and a good practice and they will look like themselves on Tuesday ;) ;)Let's get these district races started.

This doesn't exactly sound like round 3 under the big lights.Do the Mavericks keep their #1 ranking if the other team doesn't show up  ??? ??? I guess it's a good thing it wasn't a 7 game series  ;D ;D

Folks EC may take 2nd in the district but there isn't much difference between them,Anahuac,Deweyville or Hardin.In there defense True it's hard to play in the atmosphere they had at Ford park tonight and the boys have nothing to do with the ticket price. Catman, Did you see HJ play Kountze this year??With Ricossa healthy they are pretty darn good.

If they meet in the playoffs we may have to get AAW to hold the money for us.If the Lions are healthy I may give 15.

Ok AAW, check out my prediction on the other thread.I'm going to the hold em table.See ya  ;D ;D

[quote name="whsalum" post="737231" timestamp="1262371886"] Silsbee has their basketball legs under them now so they win the rematch by 8.Let's face it folks if The Silsbee,Kountze and HJ clubs want tough competition on the tourney trail they would have to travel or play each other.Look at it from the other teams perspective it helps the clubs like Woodville,EC and San Augustine to see what the playoff competition will look like. [/quote]I'm going to the boat after this prediction.

They gotta recruit faster players  ;D ;D

I am not a huge Kountze fan, just a basketball fan that gives them credit when it's due.I have seen Kountze and New Waverly both play a lot of ball over the past 6-8 years.Last year I picked New Waverly to win(even at the Lions den).This year my prediction would be Kountze in a head to head to matchup.Of coarse my predictions and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee and not not much else.Holding Silsbee and HJ to the low 50's is impressive but HJ was missing one of their best players and the Tigers beat ya by 10.If you haven't seen Kountze this year you need to check em out.They beat Silsbee in a track meet and lost twice in very close games to HJ when the Hawks were at full strength.

Hudson doesn't lose many at home.Coach Bartlett does a good job though so it will be close.Hudson will probably take this one by 6.
