Good job guys!!

They may not of had enough players left to make an honorable mention team.There is nothing wrong with not being good enough to make all district.Get back to the days when you had an MVP and an Off and Def player of the year plus 5 -1st teamers and 5- 2nd teamers.Tell everyone else to get in the gym and go to work in the off season.There seems to now be a literaL meaning to "ALL DISTRICT".

I don't know what they have to go with him but the tall right hander from Deweyville is as good as anybody I've seen in this district for several years.On any given night he could beat anyone in the district.

[quote name="SteelerCzy" post="1192865" timestamp="1331000398"] I enjoyed the game, two very good teams. Not sure of the line score for Warren pitcher but J. Howell for Dville had 14 k's gave up 1 hit and both runs were unearned. Hate to waste a performance like that but gotta give Warriors credit for making the plays. Good luck rest of year to both teams. [/quote]Very well pitched game on both sides tonight.The kid from Deweyville has to be about as good as there is in this district.He threw a one hitter and I think the Watts boy gave up 2 hits.Fun game to watch.Congrats Warriors on the win.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1192845" timestamp="1330999835"] Thanks, Steeler! [/quote]Culd ya change the thread title.Warren actually won this one 2-0.

[quote name="setxslam" post="1191888" timestamp="1330826483"] Anything can happen in the playoffs.  Waco LV is going to State, and I believe they might've finished third in 21-3A.  Ah, well, there it is.  Heckuva year.  That's a great thing about high school basketball: the season always ends with terrible sadness or ultimate joy and, either way, you can't wait for it to start all over again. [/quote]While losing games like this are always hard to take, you have to remember what it takes to get to this stage. The Hawks consistantly perform at this level and mediocrity just isn't accepted. The record this year was nothing short of amazing. Choke??? You gotta be kiddin me.Two good teams in a one possession game is simply the way the game is meant to be played.Give props to both clubs on a super ballgame and can't wait until next year.

The Lions have absoluely nothing to hang their heads about.They didn't resemble the club that started out on November which is a tribute to the coaching staff.I don't know about anyone else but I can't think of anyone I'd rather have had taking a jumper at the buzzer than Lin,he's been money for years.I gotta admit I was wrong about the Lions for the better part of the year. They were pretty darn good.Congrats Lions on a great season.

[quote name="Wheel House" post="1191196" timestamp="1330748683"] Ugly ending but Warren advances 9 -9 Final in 5. [/quote]How do you advance in a tie ballgame? Just curious ,never heard of that.

Good job Ktown.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1188260" timestamp="1330482857"] Oh oh. I see Nederland fans walking out in the 4th qtr as predicted. [/quote]With the 3pt shot as much a part of the game as it is today,why in the world would you walk out down by 11 with 3:02 left ??These folks haven't watched much basketball.

No disrespect to the Lions but but the caliber of competition in district play had more to do with the outcome than their game being elevated.The lions are playing better ball now than they have all season but their lack of size is gonna hurt them over the next couple of rounds.

[quote name="Big Stick" post="1183542" timestamp="1329990081"] Someone is pouting already! [/quote]Don't have any connections to the squad and certainly wasn't pouting, just curious how a club that finished second last year with a majority sophomore club would be picked 5th.Help me out there if you have an answer to that.I'd like to hear it :)

[quote name="snuffy" post="1186068" timestamp="1330267634"] Crockett is now 17-6.  I saw both of these teams play the other night.  I could not believe how little Kountze was.  Of course I am used to seeing Kountze's teams of the past in Austin.  They are doing a good job for such a young team though.  Crockett is way down from last yr's team.  They are still athletic but not real skilled.  They got a point guard #24 that thinks he is better than he is. He jacks it up from anywhere and everywhere or will drive and then dish off to the heavy set post on the backside block. I have seen all of the heavyweights play in this region and the winner of this game is in deep trouble in the next round against Tatum or Edgewood. [/quote]I have watched Kountze quite a bit this year and this evaluation is right on.This season could be Duanes best coaching job of his career.

And there you have what makes high school basketball the greatest game in the world.I have to agree with ECBuc08 on the EC kids.I have had the opportunity to make more than my share of trips to Winnie over the years and the kids and the fans are always top notch.The EC coach this year got all these kids had to give, sometimes the shot just falls at the buzzer.

Do we have a time and place yet ??

They'll be fine.I hope they get their SS back before distict starts.They have a lot of depth but he is a lot of fun to watch.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1183612" timestamp="1330008132"] Warren is in this tournament [/quote]I heard Warren lost their opener to Onalaska7-5.I also heard today they lost their best player to injury. Tough way to start a year.

I can only conclude from looking at the small school side of this poll that SETX Sports expect Warren to finish 5th in 24aa.For a team that finished 2nd last year with a sophomore laiden squad I think this group may be under the radar.

Absolutely and always take the cap off.FYI The young lady at Silsbee will send chills up your spine when she sings it.She does a great job.

Size is the Lions Achilles this year.They play hard but just aren't anywhere near as big across the press as they have been in the past.I see them winning their first playoff game but probably not their second.The scores are misleading because the district clubs are not real strong this season.

Didn't know TJ was back in SETX. Welcome home coach.

High school basketball is played by 15-18 year old boys so you never know whats going to happen until you toss it up.The Yates club of a couple of years ago was one of the best I've ever seen but those don't come along every year.I think it will be good to see the talent level improve in our corner of the state.These Silsbee/Yates/HJ matchups will be a lot of fun to watch.

The amount of energy this game would take wouldn't be good for either club.I'm not a fan of taking any time off but these two clubs know each other too well already.They could schedule up and good some good work in to stay sharp.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1167966" timestamp="1327896118"] Funny thing about 3-point shooters. I know a kid out of Houston area who is a top prospect and listed on the ESPN ranking. He loves to shoot 3 pointers. I did a shot graph on him once. He attempted about nine 3's and made 1 or 2. My personal theory is that a three is like a dunk. Thru all the hoopla, it disguises your weaknesses. All the people remember are the one or two 3's he hit in that game. Another example is the kid on Baylor's team, Duece Bello. All everything in high school with his athletic dunks. Can dunk the ball 101 ways but can't shoot a jumper. Sitting his butt on the bench now. Ya gotta get the fundamentals down. Unless you're shooting 40% plus, you ain't no 3 point shooter. Anything less and you're probably hurting your team. [/quote]Anyone shooting 1/9 from behind the arc needs a seat beside the coach or at the very least be learning how to set pics.

You guys don't realize how fortunate you are to have these type games where attendance is an issue.I have watched more than my share of high school and college basketball over the years and it doesn't get much better than this on the high school level.I hate to take up a spot from one of the 2 schools folks but I'll be there just to watch high school basketball as it should be played.FYI-There are far worse things than gathering eggs :)
