Guest Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 Ever since I can remember we have ran that defense. Quote

Fast full-court pressure, force a ton of turnovers and make it rain from the 3 line? Expand It's been the same since '93. The full-court press started with Coach Green who's now at North Shore. We weren't as big back then though. Just fast, athletic, and played much better defense. Quote

Expand The defense is is a shell of what it used to be. No offense to this years team at all. I can remember when we won state in 07 vs Shallowater the local newspaper interviewed a player from shallowater and he said how Kountze played basketball isn't basketball lol Quote

Roman Walker, Devin Bray, Domingo... all those guys. It felt like we were playing a friggin college team when we played them. They literally beat us by as much as 60 pts some games lol. It was downright sad. I loved watching them play EC with Vance McDonald and Tramain Thomas. It felt like you weren't even watching high school basketball when they played. KHSAlum400 1 Quote

My senior year when the bell would ring for school to get out at 3:21 there would already be a line out in front of the gym to watch Kountze vs EC that night Quote

Arguably the best teams to come throughout EC didn't make State, bc Kountze and Arp were just that good. Thomas and McDonald went to 4 straight regional tournaments. Loss to Kountze in the regional final twice (Freshman and Junior years), Kountze would go on to win State both years. And then loss to Arp in the regional semifinals twice (Soph. and Senior). Arp would win State one of thos years, lose to the state champs the other. If we could of had those 4 years of players at any other time, we would no doubt have a state championship.

And they weren't even in the same level as those Arp, Kountze, and EC teams. This year I believe LaMarque is, but really they are a 4A... Quote

24 over par Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 why is this being played so far from both schools Quote

LaMarque's enrollment had steadily dwindled as it looked like the school was going to shut down. Enrollment for the current alignment was posted before Texas City ISD, officially took over LaMarque HS. Also, a private school in LaMarque closed following last school year which added approximately 100 students. This is from a LaMarque source. Quote
