IT'S IN THE BONE

It was 37-6 Kountze...good game Lions now let's grow the confidence

Source say Arnold100% tonight...long night for Warren!

UP, OS, MH...you guys are right I just wish more can understand these things...Silsbee has figured it out...upgrading facilities and academically has performed very well according to the last report I saw...in addition they have managed develop a nice fine arts program with multiple opportunities in other extra curricular activities. But back to discussion at hand and the question posed by  Scat...is Jouberts job in question? My answer is not at this point, but folks are a bit restless from what I here and if basketball is not the hit he needs it to be...well the heat will ratchet up. Look Coach Joub has a lot of support, enough that one bad season or even two, he can weather the storm but with everything that is in play at Kountze right now the speculative trend does not look promising for a big turn around. This is no impugning of anyone in Kountze because this calamity has been brewing for years and it's not going to get fixed without real leadership and a real coming together of the community. I mean scrub the lines drawn in the dirt out and everybody roll up their sleeves and jump in the deep end. Not just one group in the deep in while the vast majority wade in the safe shallow waters making waves so the risk takers drown because that's the past and look what has been accomplished...ZERO! I do not have the answers but there are much smarter Men and Women who do and I pray for the sake of the children that they step up and the rest us of hold them up so they can succeed.

oh that is true...so finances is always gonna be an issue, but alot of schools state wide that are no better off some how make thier academics work, athletics shine and have nice success in the fine arts. UP to me it's all about leadership and community involvement. 

UP its a subject with multiple layers...IMO...Kountze had spent so many years trying keep the basketball athletes in the gym and off the football field...makes it hard to now shift gears. 2nd, Kountze has never had real major support of its Athletic program as a whole...in The years past the Band Program got more money per student than the Athletic program at least make it equal...I am not bashing the band because those kids work hard to produce a fine product that the community can be proud of, but the comparison has to be made to make the point. 3rd, Kountze does not have the financial capability to hire the number of Coaches needed to facilitate a deeply successful athletic program that allows for a top notch off season program and academically its in trouble. In the past 10 years Kountze has lost like 200 students district wide and with the recent peg list its lost more. I am not slinging mud or blaming anyone or group I am just stating fact and one opinion about the gym vs football field. I agree that Kountze has a really nice pipeline of Athletes and they could be a very successful program but a great deal is gonna have to change for that to come to fruition. 

If Arnold is playing and Warren is under the weather than it could be a tough night for the Warriors but if Arnold is not playing it could be a much tighter game.

Nobody seems to want to breach the subject so I am going to...I think Kountze may still be suffering from the injury bug but I think Kountze rams this one home. It's homecoming this week so the Lions get it done at home.  I am sure Warren folks are feeling much more confident about the opportunity for a Warren win, but I don't see it this week.

Brotha I hope Hardin plays the gameboft He year and wins! I really do, but I just think it's highly unlikely and one should be realistic. As far as not having to play against Grayland Arnold...we will never know the details of that and Kountze was down six starters from what I was told...note I did not see the game so maybe everybody played minus Arnold and Adams. Not knocking Hardin I think I have always been supportive of you guys so don't take it to heart.

I have given Hardin ataboy on the Kountze win...But playing EC will being nothing like Kountze. no excuses for Kountze because injuries are part of the game and folks have to step up...Kountze was a shell of itself in the Hardin game..major players out and then no depth. Hardin don't make comparisons because it's not...not even close.

if they do than they deserve the spot...that gonna be a tall order to fill, but I am sure the Hornets will give it heck! Good Luck the rest of the way Hornets!

Kountze has to beat warren Woodville Buna and anahauc...they do and they get 4th

Kountze has to win has to win out period 

Kountze can't loose a game now...not likely

Congrats Hardin

no...agree...I will say Kountze has had some very good talent over the years but as a whole the football program remains completely under developed and now is emaciated caused by a lack of participation and a lack of a truly productive off-season. 

Defense is a bit better, but Offense not putting up near the numbers as last year...with reduced depth that is gonna make things increasingly difficult, but I am gonna go with my heart and agree with you.

Bottom line Capone...i want these young men to be successful and they deserve better than they are getting.  I hope for the kids sake that they pull a win out tonight or it's gonna be a long rest of the season. The one thing true and constant is the fact that Coach Joub is gonna have to re-tool his athletic program in the off season to get the younger kids ramped up so as not have even fewer numbers next year. 

I like your outlook, but do you really think that Newton can really boast the same talent level as the they have in the past few hundred years...LOL...you know what I am getting at...and maybe talent is the wrong word maybe its being seasoned and player maturity...nevertheless its a cycle in my book and that says nothing about the program, because Newton Football has my respect.

alot of challenges to over come...not going to opine any further

gonna be a tough week for K-town...still gonna stay with a Lions win but margin may be even less than I first stated.

Newton is in a cycle period...they will re-load and be back to normal in a couple of seasons.  Kountze...low low numbers and no off season to speak of other than 7 on 7 and that does not make you a winner come head knockin time.

K-ville wins this easily...if Woodville would have beat Buna...might have been a bit less confident in this statement. Although I do think Woodville is better than last year I think it's a bit to much and to quick to think they beat K-Ville and last week comfirms just that. 

Could-a-should-a-would-a! Coaches mentality, mistakes...ect! NONE of that is gone mean poo come Friday. PNG better be ready for a gut check by a bunch of dang football players that are playing to win...Lumberton will not be intimidated by PNG...not gonna wish-cast here because my personal desire is to see Lumberton win...the reality is that it's gonna be a big uphill fight and to me this game could go either way. I hope both teams stay injury free and leave it all on the gridiron.

Hardin at home and Kountze winless...to me this game could go in almost any direction. I feel like Kountze has enough in the tank to get their first win this year, but if they stumble Hardin will quickly smell blood in the water and it could get dicey fast. This game is The Lions season in my opinion. Lions win they go home for Warren with some confidence and win that one as well, but if the Lions take one on the chin Friday night then it could be devastating to their season. Why?...It would give Warren and Woodville massive confidence and leave no room for Kountze to wiggle with anybody and get in the playoffs for a three-peat. If you are a real Football guy or gal...you gotta be real here and know that making big huge winning score predictions is not smart concidering the current record and certainly is not deserved. All this being said...my thought is Kountze wins by 12, but I'm cautious...

Way to take advantage of mistakes Buna! Good game
