I think this is right on the money. The basketball job is going to look a lot different after Graylon leaves town.

They seem to play the same system year in and year out with the kids buying in but there is no substitute for experience. were the kids you mentioned for Kountze starters last year? The Lions didn't sub much last year in the games I watched them.Arnold and the shooting guard will keep them in the hunt.

I know Ozen and Central are ranked 2nd and 3rd n the pre season poll but Yates looks to be very good this season. The region on the 5A level is going to be tough to advance out of.

I haven't seen the pools but I can guarantee Brock will play smart, very fundamental basketball. If they have any size this year they will control the tempo and won't beat themselves. They are a lot of fun to watch.There will be some very contrasting styles of play in this tournament. The teams with the deepest benches will have the edge in the long run with the number of games they play.

Silly me !!

If fear is the driving factor it must be a delayed fear. The Hawks play both Big Sandy and Nederland before the tourney. I haven't seen the pool bracket yet, where can this be found ?

Are they in high school ???

Thank ya sir. Those would be some good ones to watch.

I would like to get a break down of Big Sandy, Spurger and any other schools that don't play football as well as those who's football teams were already eliminated. It has been to quiet.

The scrimmage board has really been quiet. Did we not have a full schedule of scrimmages ? Come on folks it's time for some hoops !!

That's a good problem to have for a coach , sometimes it's tough to keep 15 players happy with playing time if they are all pretty equal.

It's not only Kountze, girls basketball locally was very good for years with teams from Kountze, Silsbee, Hardin Jefferson and Orangefield always making deep runs. I think the other sports are getting most of the talent now, softball and volleyball primarily.

The teams that get the breaks and get on a roll at the right time end up in San Antonio, that and being in the right region. It's often not the best team. Not sure it's a good idea to play a district rival 4 or 5 times either.

You get a whole lot smarter when you have a 7'3" Center LOL

Great to hear the kid can play, it's not like he just drove in from Nigeria . The district should have had a draft however just to keep it close

With Silsbee's predicted dominance they have let the air out of the balls at HJ and resurrected the cross country program until at least 2020 !! As far as top SETX performers go it would be hard to start a 5 man team without Arnold and Angel.

So was I but that was a long time ago LOL !!

Never saw Dallas Bryan Adams, anyone know anything about them? We will get to see a couple of 4A clubs that are ranked ahead of the Hawks in the early polls Should be another really good 3 days of hoops !!

I was there

I think the actual start time was 12:01 am this morning

No way they could be the favorite playing against a club that won't lose a district game for the next five years. I think the pre season TABC poll has them picked 3rd in the district.

Cleveland has really had some talented clubs over the last 4 or 5 years that just didn't produce in the playoffs. Not sure what their issus have been.

A three team scrimmage I believe !!

The Hawks look to have a good schedule this year. The non district schedule has Central , Nederland , Big Sandy , Kountze and the James Gamble classic plus their tourney always has a great field. Can't wait to watch some hoops.
