Bucster

buna is going to be looking for some heads to bust after thier loss friday

It will be interesting to see how the Cougars respond after losing a heartbreaker at EC.

What was the deal with the Buna player getting ejected? He was a lineman,but I did nit see what happened.

I understand he cussed at the referee.

The game will be played in High Island on Saturday afternoon.  It's High Island's homecoming.  The game will start at 1 p.m.

That's great news for the HI folks! I know they'll be glad to be playing in their own stadium.

I predict a major butt kickin'

Deweyville better stock up on the Preparation H cuz' they're going to need it.

WOW!  Looks like Buna won everywhere except the scoreboard.

WOW!  Looks like Buna won everywhere except where it mattered  ;D

WHAT!    I thought d-ville won??

Beats me. I assumed A-1 TE #3 played for Anahuac.

my boys pulled it out in o.t. 26-20 way to go boys

Congrats Panthers.

You guys are hard to figure out. You played a tight game against Hardin, beat DV but looked really bad against EC on your home field. What gives?

Insane game!!! EC had NO answer for an awesome Buna O-line, Buna had NO answer for Thomas. EC made a ton of mistakes defensivly, and Buna played out of their minds. This was one for the ages. Congrats to EC for doing enough to win, and an awesome Buna Cougar team. I support Buna 110% in the playoffs.  :D     Go Coogs, GO BUCS!   ;D ;D ;D

I thought the Bucs defensed the run fairly well but struggled against the pass. Both teams played hard with several *strange* officiating calls during the last 2 minutes. Both teams benefitted from officiating decisions.

Great game.

Does anyone have an idea of what schools are looking at Thomas?

I've heard Houston, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State & Kansas State are interested. I don't know if any of them have actually made an offer.

It would take more than another half of a game to get his stats even close to Nolan's.  Nolan played only half of his games quite a bit this year too.  The fact of the matter is, Hardin runs a different offensive scheme than EC.  That's where most of the stat differential comes from.  Thomas is the best football player in this district, perhaps in this region, perhaps one of the best in the state.  However, Nolan is one of the best QB's in this region and state as well.  Just different styles.  In my opinion, right now, I'd say Thomas district MVP, and Nolan 1st team.

Here is a question even professional football teams can't figure out sometimes:

Would you rather have Mike Vick as QB, or a Tom Brady? (Not making any attack on anyones character here), but if Vick wasn't an idiot, as for as QB's go, I'd take Brady, but alot of NFL and NCAA teams would take Vick.

Just my opinion, can't really compare them as QBs, based on stats.

Good post, Bleacher_Bum!

And for the record..... I'd take Tom Brady over Marcus *p.o.s.* Vick any day!

Winning.

Otherwise why keep score?

Tramaine Thomas

Nobody else is even close.

All I know is that Buna needs to bring chairs because Ec has 0 stands for the visiting side! They may only be room for our band!

We may not have enough bleachers for the visitors but at least you can view the game without having to look around a light pole.

The EC coaching staff does an excellent job keeping the players focused and not letting the kids get the big head.

Like I've said before, you won't find the EC players running their mouths on a sports message board. They know how to win and they "act like they've been there before."

They'll be ready to play on Friday night.

EC takes this one at home.

since he was "hyped" up in highschool, he should hae at least 600 yards rushing. he have more carries than the starter. after the ou game,they have played the same level teams as they are.FRAUD BACK!!!

Awwww c'mon patitan you can quit pretending. Everyone knows you have a mancrush for Micah. 

tramain is more of an offensive player...he doesnt look like what everyone makes him out to be on the defensive...

I understand Tramain has several D-1 schools that expect him to play on the defensive side of the ball in college.

obviously deweyville's defense is better than warrens. Deweyville held EC to only 21 points while Warren let over half as much get scored on them. Deweyville will win this one by 3 tds.

EC scored three defensive TD's against Warren so margin of victory in the two contests should not be considered a reliable indicator of either (DV or Warren) defensive unit's merit.

DV forced 4 or 5 TO's against EC and therefor I feel DV's defense is a little stouter than that of the Warriors.

You're right. That is what makes him so special. Not too many kids out there like him. Not just ability, but a great attitude.

I agree 100% Most kids with his level of ability get the big head. Tramaine has handled his fame in a humble manner. His parents have done a great job raising him.

Kountze has surprised a lot of people including me.

Deweyville 24

Warren 7

Geez ..... I'm not sure who has the biggest persecution complex ....... Hardin or Buna.  ;D

Hamshire-Fannett faces tough defensive task against Silsbee

AREA ROUNDUP

The Port Arthur News

SILSBEE — Hamshire-Fannett travels to District 21-3A frontrunner Silsbee in hopes of staying in the hunt for a state playoff spot.

While Silsbee is averaging over 50 points a game in league play, the Tigers have beaten 21-3A opponents Orangefield (48-0) and Bridge City (55-7). Neither has won a game in 2007.

Silsbee, 2-0 in district and 3-2 overall, is a tale of two teams. Early in the season, the Tigers ran the veer. But, after a series of turnovers, head coach Bobby McGallion junked his offense and installed an entirely different spreadoffense that utilizes Silsbeeís athletic ability more effectively.

With 6-2, 180-pound sophomore quarterback Jeremy Johnson throwing (729 yards, 10 TDs) and running the ball (359 yards rushing), Silsbee looks for the big play. With running back Chris Castle and receivers Mike Willis and Donovan Harris, the Tigers can score in a hurry.

Castle has 409 yards on the ground and a 9.1 rushing average.

Receivers Willis (11 catches for 259 yards, three TDs) and Harris (9 for 255 yards, four scores) average an impressive 23.6 and 28.3 yards per reception, respectively.

Hamshire-Fannett, which rolled over Hardin-Jefferson 35-6 last week, is 3-2, 1-1.

Warren (2-4, 0-1) at East Chambers (5-0, 1-0)

WINNIE — East Chambers seeks to keep its unbeaten streak alive tonight, hosting a slumping Warren Warrior team that has lost four straight games.

After winning its opening two contests, Warren has dropped four straight to teams that have a combined 18-4 record on the year.

“Operating out of a pro style of offense, they use the toss sweep and throw the ball about half the time," stated EC head coach Tony Valastro. “But I really think there is only one team that can stop us, and that’s our own self with turnovers.â€

Although turnovers haven’t been a problem for the Bucs, blue chip all-state safety Tramain Thomas, and cornerbacks Anthony Ortiz and Quentin Joseph lead Valastro’s talented defense that has yet to be scored upon in the first half in any of their five games.

Thomas has four interceptions, 49 total tackles, five tackles for losses and one sack. While Thomas is one of Southeast Texasí finest in the secondary, he has also rushed for 596 yards (8.5 avg.) and 10 touchdowns. Junior Donte Raymond isn’t far behind with 527 yards on the ground and five scores.

Apparently this writer didn't see the EC vs. DV game last week. The Bucs had 4 or 5 turnovers in the first half!

Good luck to the Bucs and the Longhorns tonight.

I agree....THAT WAS A HECK OF A GAME!

It sure was!

Not one of them 2A schools you have named is the best. Newton would and has whipped the floor with all the 2A schools in this area since we dropped down there in 04..

Newton beat EC in 2004 but they sure didn't whip the Bucs that night. Seems like ya'll beat us by 6 or 7 points. Keep it real.
