    And a major politician. I heard chatter he is replaced  but didn't think it would be true for that reason. Lol

    Surprise surprise, somebody’s daddy is unhappy their kid don’t get the trophy. Couple weeks and we are still on this. Sells is far and away a better overall player, him getting the MVP was obvious. The award is voting on my coach without a kid in the race so Joub and Whitmire wouldn’t have voted. Watching the two kids play it isn’t hard to figure out why one kid got the votes and why the other didn’t.    As far as Newcomer goes, we are 14 months into this. If you want to put something on the wall in the den, I’ll send over the very basic certificate that was the award. It won’t be hard to open Microsoft PowerPoint and change the name. I can assure you, Hunter Courts and his family care a lot more about his team winning games than what 5 Coaches thought about him and what individual accolades he can brag on social media about..

    We live in a world where individual awards now mean more than team awards or success

    Voting happened before any Playin or Playoff Games the week District ended. District matchups are all that was considered.

    Kountze didnt win the DC. They won seeding for the Playoffs. Kountze and Orangefield split the DC as Co-District Champions.

    Ah ok voting before. Released after exits.

    I thought the 3rd game was for seeding AND DC.

    Orangefield's Coach Whitmire deserved to be Coach Of The Year. He was a new coach with a new team that lost 7 Seniors the year before. The same 7 Seniors that some on here referred to as the "Most Dominant Senior Class Ever In Orangefield". Most on here projected us to finish 3rd or 4th in the district after last season. Coach Whit did return Scales and Wrinkle the previous year teams 2nd and 3rd leading scorers but he didnt have the depth that Joubert had or any impactful move ins (legitimate or not) that Kountze did. With all of that being considered, Whitmire coached Orangefield to a their first Co-District championship since 1954, two big tournament wins, Orangefield's All Time Winningest Record (33-6), and the 3rd Round of the Playoffs (not known at the time of voting). All of this with 70% of his scoring coming from two players (Scales & Wrinkle). That is coaching at it's finest in Texas H.S. Basketball.

    Jaden "Ghost" Scales deserved to win "MVP" and not just "Offensive MVP". For all of the same above mentioned reasons, as well as putting up MVP numbers throughout the season on extremely efficient percentages and outplaying (Scales had 21 in the loss, 26 in the win) Sells in both District Matchups. The third Kountze/Orangefield - Playin Game was played after the District Meeting where voting took place. Even in that game, it was obvious who was believed to be the most dangerous player on the floor, and limiting Ghost's touches proved successful for Kountze because we didnt have enough fire power without him. With that being said, to me it is obvious who the most valuable player to their team was by how they were guarded and other teams chose to play them. Ghost was robbed again, just like last year when NOTY was given to Kountze instead of Ghost when he torched them in both meetings as a freshman when his counterpart's numbers were nowhere close to his. I can't honestly tell that story without also saying the MVP was given to Sells last year as well. So, both MVP and NCOTY went to a team last year that needed a Playin Game to make the playoffs. Perrault from EC (Best player on #1 Team) should have been MVP last year and Scales (2nd Leading Scorer on #2 Team) should have been Newcomer Of The Year - IMO

    Don't get me wrong, Joubert is a great coach and Sells is a great player, that I have nothing but love for.  However, it seems they are able to have their cake and eat it too though. You can have a homegrown freshman (NCOTY) and move-ins (legitimate or whatever) that we all turn a blind eye to and watch you go from 4th to 1st, or you can be viewed as the best Coach and player in the District because you took your team so far without as much help. Watching the full swing of both arguments to benefit Kountze in the last two years isn't the easiest sell to me or many others on here and elsewhere. As always though, I am just the only one to say it. That's ok though, doing what is right is more important to me than doing what is popular.

    Congratulations to all of the kids and Coaches who were recognized this year though! The voting this year was much closer to where it should be than it was last year by a long shot.

    Didn't Kountze win that 3rd game for first? Not sure how its voted BUT they won the DC and advanced 1 more round i believe?. I wouldn't say ANYONE from OF was "robbed."

    Coming from Orangefield where the Slot-T was its offense the last several seasons does not necessarily mean Bridge City will switch to it under Smalley. "I don't plan on running the Slot-T here. After playing the Cardinals last year and seeing what they've got coming back with a quarterback that can throw, some good running backs, and solid linemen I think we'll have the ability to do some different things similar to what they've been doing," Smalley analyzed.

    "At the end of the day it's going to be what does our talent base dictate that we can do and let's get good at doing that. I get labeled as a Slot-T guy because that's what I've done for twelve years, but people don't remember when I played at Bridge City we were multiple. I've coached in the Spread and have coached in just about any offense you can think of, so my knowledge base is not just Slot-T football," Smalley added.

    Dannnnnnnnng. So OF qbs couldn't throw for 12 years lol got it.

    Miller, should have not been on the field at all against Bellville, as people realized by his slow return to the Basketball court ,but he wanted to start, and hope for a miracle. But injuries and team dynamics affect the decisions of these Individual awards, and in my opinion the Nguyen kid should win it , hands down. 

    If its a statistical award, sure. When I see nguyen play. I think of how great the o-line was FIRST. And i think the other RB too can get close to his numbers as well.. I feel like I have seen better RBs at PNG thru the years.....when I see miller play. I see a game changing difference every snap he is in. Just my personal opinion

    Yeah he was a killer then too and it didnt fit the narrative folks wanted then either.  Glad you are happy he wanted to come back home, we are too! Plus, it lets yall move on to baseball as soon as Playoffs start for the other schools.  

    Absolutely right. There is 0 doubt your son is great. 0 doubt you are a passionate parent. But there seems to be some sense of entitlement other than being a parent or a fan. NO school wants to deal with people like that the refs know. The community knows...... Everyone does..... Your reputation procedes you. Just an observation, right wrong or indifferent.
