After watching the kids returning for HJ the past 2 weeks they are gonna be solid again.Burrell,Jarvis,Sungren,Fontenot,Payen,Weldon and the new kid from Liberty all can play.They will be really quick on the defensive side and will have a ton of shooters.If they get a big man this could be a repeat.

Sims and Andrews will definitely be 2 to build on.They were 2 main cogs this year,but Nash,McBee and Swiiney can also step up and score on any given night.Both Sims and Andrews biggest challenge will be in the weight room in the off season.They will both play alot in the summer and that will help.Sims is already playing and Andrews will be within the next few weeks.These are 2 very gifted shooters,Sims from behind the arc(he hit 60-3's)this year and from the free throw line(81.6%)while Andrews can score at will from around 15ft.The key is to get these guys the ball.They both averaged around 13 points a game last year but lots of nights they wouldn't shoot the ball but 6 or 8 times apiece.Blake Riley will help this year along with Robert Hulett and probably the guy they missed the most this year Travis Swanson is coming back .These guys are gonna be pretty solid.I almost forgot Brandon Young probably the most atheletic kid in the program,his key will be playing everytime the team goes somewhere.

I am in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.You need to change your screen name 25,you know less about baseball than you do basketball.Lamar beat Rice twice that season I believe.They also gave the mighty longhorns all they could handle in the regional tourney the previous year.If thats not a national recognized school I don't know what is.Sounds to me like you need to get on the Baltimore Orioles band wagon,they are about as average as they come.

Not sure who will be in it but the real state tourney in 2-a will once again be held in Tyler,TX.

Somehow you switched sports.Lamar baseball is already a respected national club.They beat Rice for gods sake the year Rice won the national championship.The ladies program can compete with the right recruits,if that's not your goal you need to cut the lights out and forget it.While we do have some good girls players in this area they are not the ones that will take LU back to the elite status they are looking for.Beat the bushes and get the high school all americans,bring back some of the local girls after they have developed at the JUCO level and then you will start seeing results in the Montagne.

He is good ball handler,no where near the shooter Jarvis is.Your right though he will add depth.Now the Fontenot kid is gonna be the real deal.

A lot of errors would be an understatement.Hardin played a good ball game.With the Warriors you never know which group will show up.Tonight it looked more like the JV.I knew they would have to hit the ball and tonight they never got untracked.Maybe the other squad will show up Tuesday.I hope so or a playoff will slip away.

I see where Hardin beat Deweyville 2-1 on Wednesday.While Swinney pitched a complete game for Warren on Tuesday so both clubs will probably go to their 2nd and 3rd pitchers.Warren will have to crush the ball to win this one.They are capable of doing that.If Parker is well enough to play that will help.I'll pick Warren in this one in another 12-10 battle.Go Warriors

The best player on Liberty's team couldn't play for HJ this year.I hate to say it but after watching HJ 's returning kids Burrell,Jarvis,Weldon,Payne,Sungren and Fontenot he probably won't play much next year either.At least he will be on a better club,not much emphasis on basketball at Liberty.

This is exactly what you said"you got at least 10 girls around here that could help Lamar".I really like the 2 young ladies from Lumberton they are good high school players.They can go the JUCO route and probably contribute one day at a mid major.We are talking about building Lamar into a tourney class team.I have watched high school girls basketball in this area for more years than I care to admit and we have some good players in this area but we havent had 10 that could contribute at that level in the last 10 years must less this year.Fact is it takes players like Brandi McCain and Teresa Weatherspoon to build those type programs and they don't come along everyday.It will amaze you the way the Montagne will fill up when you put a quality program on the floor whethet they are local or not.Ancelot is a great coach but she would not have used 5 scholarships to get local players.She knows what it takes to win at that level.Give the new guy a chance and we'll see how he does.Set down this weekend and watch LSU and Tenn and you'll see how far he has to go.Go big red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After Coach Tidwell get's his club together he has educate the fans.It's clear you don't have a clue.10 local girls make a good high school team,not a D1 contender.

AISD that was records from this year not predictions for next year.I hope Buna does well but I don't see it.Warren beat them this year by 15 in Buna and by 26 in Warren.EC and Kountze were harder on them than that.Buna is solid in baseball but there basketball club has a long way to go.

LU should thank their lucky stars that a coach of this caliber would want the job.You dont work as an associate head coach on a staff like the TCU one and not know your business.Everyone thinks Ancelot would have fiiled the coffers with local players and won at the national level.While she is a great coach that wouldn't have happened.There will be some local girls who will play D1 college ball but they are few and far between.Everyone needs to check out LSU,Tenn and North Carolina this week in the tourney and you will see the talent it takes to play at that level.The resume this guy has in recruiting speaks for itself,we need to support him and let him get the ladies program back on track.There is nothing like 10,000 screaming fans in the Montagne whether it be for the men or the women.While I don't know the man personally,I think this was a very good hire.Good luck coach.Go big red.

I still think this district is gonna be a war every night.Kountze will be good no doubt just not as dominate as this year.EC will be super with Tramain and Vance but they will have to replace Prestons scoring and Eugenes defense and that won't be easy.Warren will be returning a very solid core of players(3 second team all district players and 2 hon mentions).Hardin will have Marsh and Deweyville will have Bland and Jackson.I like my Warriors chances.

Great job Caleb.Solid outing from everyone.Hope Brody's shoulder isn't serious.Congrats Warriors

1.EC 11-1 (WON THE TIEBREAKER) 2. KOUNTZE 11-1 (WON THE REGIONAL FINAL AGAINST EC AND STATE) 3.WARREN 7-5 4.HARDIN 5-7 (I THINK THEY SPLIT WITH DVILLE AND BEAT BUNA AND ANAHUAC) 5.NOT SURE THE ORDER OF DEWEYVILLE,ANAHUAC AND BUNA.I DON'T THINK ANY OF THESE THREE WON OVER 4 DISTRICT GAMES.

If Caleb pitches a complete game Warren wins this one in a close game.If not the same old problems surface again.Does Kountze have lights?Shorter games and darkness help the Warriors.Go Warriors

High school umps and little leauge umps are 2 completely different things.For years the umps in Tyler county are kids off the local high school teams.There is an occasional grown up that works a game if it's a contest between 2 of the better teams.For the most part the kids do a good job of calling.It always amazed me that the parents that complained the loudest never coached,umped or worked in the concession stands.

DP#1 Warren went in to the last game of the year against Buna with a playoff spot on the line.They played EC tough,beat Kountze and gave Deweyville all they could handle.Don't underestimate the Warriors.I'll stick to my earlier statement.EC is the favorite Warren and Deweyville have huge holes to fill at running back.Second and third will be wide open.

Lazeek,I wasn't implying WOS would cut McCarter loose.I thought he may be ready to coach elsewhere.I don't pretend to know anything about his situation over there.I do know he is an excellent coach.If he is at the helm they will be in the mix.

HJ won't rebuild,they'll reload.There is a reason that that good teams show up under the same coaches year after year. 1.HJ 2.Silsbee 3.WOS (if McCarter is still runnin the show)

How do you leave Stephen Moten off this team.The kid made several all tourney teams before district.Playing time went down a little in district,but was a huge factor in Austin.I know this is an all district club but Moten is as good or better than 99% of these players.

Bland made 2nd team.He is a solid player but was inelgible for half the season.I know Bland was the heart and soul of the Deweyville club.I think Rivon also missed some district games and made the first team..Don't know if I've ever seen that before.I dont think these teams were picked as much by stats as they were by grade classifications.I know Sims and McDonald both had stats that were as impressive as several first teamers.That being said I think its good to give senior players recognition.Lord knows the kids from Kountze and EC deserved it.No disgrace in being 2nd team when you have a 1st team like that.

If you recognize those names you know they could hit their spots.

Matt and Cody are officially Warren Warriors.Congrats Matt on a great season.
