Give us some scores Eagles#1fan. I haven't seen anything on the Woodville club since the season started.I know the way the weather was last week in Woodville they probably rained out if they were playing any home games.

The have some really good tournaments coming up and some good non district games as well. I know they have Buna next week and not sure who else.They have played in this tournament for years. They look pretty good right now. I don't see a dominant pitcher but they have a bunch of guys they can send to the mound and throw strikes. They have been solid defensively for several years.

I've been watching Kountze play for years and have never seen them play a game where they didn't want it called aggresively.

Tatum is always loaded with athletes so they present match up problems. I don't think this was a result of non district scheduling. Other than Silsbee and HJ there aren't many clubs locally that can compete with the Lions.

Kolton is driving the ball really well.

Baseball is a funny game where clubs can look completely different on any given day. That being said experience is the great equalizer in any sport. I look for Warren to take another step forward this year with a returning starter at every position.I watched them several times last year and there was no doubt they were a different club after Perfect got well and back in the line up. They have a very good coach who has started to build a program. I can't wait to watch all the clubs this season, good luck to all the clubs and let's" PLAY BALL"

Basketball 2012 has a pretty good baseball pedigree. I know the Franklin boy will be taught to pitch pretty well because his dad has been around the game forever.That being said if you're gonna throw mid 80"s you better have movement AND location or you'll be in for a long day.

I have attended these games for years, leaving work early and standing in line to get tickets and I don't live in either community. Over the years I have sat on each side just to get a feel for how each side feels about it's club.That being said it lost it's luster in Ford park from a fan standpoint.I think the better solution is pregame ticket sales with an allotment for the visiting school.As far as the parking goes there was some nut in a jacked up brown ford at Ford park that felt the need to take up 3 SPOTS so I'm not sure the parking lot will be big enough :)

Warren will be solid this year , no doubt about it with an experienced player returning at every spot.They hit well,field very well and have tons of speed.The missing ingredient may be the one that allowed Woodville to get their regional appearances and the state title in 05 and that's DOMINANT pitching.The Beck brothers gave Woodville a legitimate mid 90's hurler and you just don't see that often at the 2-a level. Warren also has a very good young coach so they should be fun to watch.

He hasn't been at it long enough to be on this list but the kid at WOS will turn some heads before it's over. Also English works wonders with the talent he has.

Last years game at Silsbee was standing room only for a VERY intense JV boys game.I've been in every type gym in the world and had never seen that.You just can't replace that type feeling in high school hoops.

There is nothing like the feel of the crowd at a good high school ballgame.For the last several years you couldn't talk to the person next to you at either Silsbee or HJ. Last night you didn't even have to raise your voice.I don't like to get to the gym at 5 but I think it's worth the trade off /JMO

Read my post Soulja. I didn't say the outcome would have been different I said the arena hurt the game. I don't have a dog in this fight from either side but the atmosphere was dead compared to years past in both Silsbee and Sour Lake.I have seen a ton of basketball in my lifetime and this was far from a good basketball game.The game tightened up in the end but when you look at shooting percentages, free throw percentages and turnovers it wasn't a real well played game.Both clubs can play much better and I believe they will in the rematch.

I thought the arena hurt the game last night.You couldn't feel the same atmosphere that the game usually brings.

I gotta agree with Dickie V about the arena taking away from the game.I know it's a pain to stand in line and have folks turned away at the gate but this game had no emotion at all.The biggest difference I saw last night in the play of the two team was HJ playing a relatively soft 2-3 zone.I know the coaches know their personell better than anyone and I look forward to seeing the adjustments they make in round 2.

That's the beauty of high school basketball, even the good clubs are subject to poor shooting at times.I know this may sound like blasphemy but even Yates ( GASP) could have an off night shooting the ball. Just in case no one has noticed WOS who has always had a stable full of horses has a very good young coach running the show these days.

I know the scoring didn't have anything to do with coaching, Travis does a great job. I know HYCA is a good club with a sensational recruit but 27 points isn't gonna win ya many.It just seems to me like the area big schools struggle to put points on the board.

You're not gonna win many scoring 27 points a game.Just curious how a school the size of Memorial with that collection of athletes can only score 27 points. I've seen the successful small school systems put up big numbers in this area but our bigger schools seem to struggle putting points on the board.

Call me old fashioned but I always at least like to see them play a district game before I vote them as MVP.

Duane will have them playing ball in a few weeks, no need for concern in either camp

HJ always plays team basketball and pressures the ball.It won't be any different this year.

Warren will probably be pretty quiet until baseball season starts :)

Folks give the Warren kids a little credit, they hung in there for years when they were getting pounded and never quit. Glad to see them get some district wins.Congrats guys gotta feel good walking out of Eagle Stadium with a W.

Congrats to the Warriors on the win.These kids have shown a lot of heart over some pretty tough seasons the last few years.Good to see them on the winning sideline.

Actually had the opportunity to play against Terry in the old Broaddus gym,Guy was in a league of his own.
