Must be referring to the move in freshman that moved in from Kountze Junior High lmao
After watching them in person last night I didn’t think they were as good as advertised as a whole. We were supposed to get blown out and sure we lost by 21 but we had our absolute worst game of the year from a shooting stand point and you might say it was because of the defense but really it wasn’t. We missed wide open 3’s time and time again. And just like I suspected they shot 12 more free throws than we did thanks to one particular ref.
All that being said, as long as #5 came from Kountze the rest of the kids really don’t matter. Sure some kids had a few rebounds and put backs and made a few buckets here and there. But that’s stuff any halfway talented big can do. #5 was by far the best player on the court for either team and they will go as far as he can take them. Very impressed with how savvy he was with the basketball. That kid is the catalyst for that team and much props to him.
Congrats to Kountze and good luck! -

Wasn’t trying to take anything away from the horns efforts when I said that’s how things should be… but that statement about the refs seems to come out recently from teams who lose to Kountze…
Understood. Really proud of how they played this year. #21 avg 19 pts a game this year including 24 vs EC on Friday night. Tonight he had a night where he scored 6. Tough night for him! Was really surprised how well we handled their press. A lot of our turnovers were from weird plays. Regarding the refs, it’s certainly not why we lost. It was just hilarious how they shoved constantly and rarely got called then we put our hands on them one time and they would flop, fans would lose their mind and more than likely a foul was called.

That’s more of what it should be lol
Not really if you watched the game. Tarkington picked the worst game to miss EVERYTHING. Kountze probably went to the line 10 more times and our best player who wasn’t playing well, fouled out with 5 mins left. Game really could have been a lot closer.
If the refs actually allow their opponents to be as physical as they get away with, I feel like they would struggle. They didn’t like it when it happened back to them.

There was a state team somewhere in the ‘50s. Outside of that I don’t think they’ve made it out of the second round.

Lol!!! Have you seen their gym? It’s actually really nice.

It would have been nice if this was a double header with Tarkington at HJ.

Idk why this game is being played all the way at CE King… they could’ve just played in Cleveland.
I heard Cleveland wasn’t willing to host this year. Don’t know if there is any truth to that,just a rumor.

No sir he isn’t from Onalaska at all actually. The officials chapter doesn’t send graduates to officiate games where they are from for the exact insinuation you are making.
I’m aware of that. That was just a play on how absurd and one sided that ref was.
It’s a shame though that in what was always going to be a tough game with talented kids on both side, a ref stole the show with his antics and “timely” calls.

So must shamefulness in this game.
Onalaska shoots 47!!! Free throws….yet if you’ve seen them play, they think of themselves as the aggressorssame referee fouls out Tarkington’s best two players with 5 and 4 mins left in the game after they hit 5 threes in the second half to help take the lead…
same ref T’s up the Tarkington coach for asking a question.
same ref calls traveling one direction but doesn’t “see it” when it happens the other way
Wait, did he graduate from Onalaska also???

Hmmm, I don’t know one person from BU but I’ve seen enough BU basketball in the last 4 years to know that reading this is a bit misleading. I get it, he’s been here this whole time that they’ve had a great run, but it feels a little Robert Horry’ish. He’s probably had a nice role on all these teams but he’s never been the best player on any of these teams. IMO. Being on a team with Arceneaux and Yates is a blessing for any player wanting to win games at the high school level.
