I'm hoping for the best for Buna, but they are certainly the major underdog in this one. From what I have read in other threads, it sounds like La Marque is more like a legit 4A team rather than a good 3A team. Unbiased observers who have seen both Buna and La Marque say that La Marque is on another level.

Buna is kinda screwed either way because IF they get past La Marque, then they will most likely get # 3 Jarrel in the Regional Semis. Its probably safe to say that Buna has the toughest road to the Regional Finals out of any SETX team..... Two top 5 teams in their bracket. They should have just let Kountze have the 1 seed lol.

Nevertheless, this is the playoffs and Buna is a solid team, so I guess anything is possible.

Does anybody know what La Marque's playing style is?? Are they a fast, athletic team that likes to apply a lot of pressure like Silsbee/Kountze? Or are they more of a slow paced, methodical, half-court team?

I didn't realize it until I went back and looked at the playoff brackets from last year, but La Marque was a state tourney team in 4A last year, and they lost to state champ Dallas Lincoln by 3 pts in the semi-final game. And they only had 3 seniors on that team.... Just more discouraging info for Buna folks. 

But as others have already stated, its the playoffs and anything is possible. And if anyone is capable of pulling off an upset it is Buna.

Buna likes to run so that will help them against Lamarque. Just gotta limit turnovers and anything can happen if the trey ball is falling. 

I have to disagree. I don't think you want to run with them. Limit turnovers. Slow down the game. That's how East Bernard beat them

Buna is going to have to play very fundamental to beat LaMarque, just as East Bernard did. LaMarque is probably the most athletic team in the region,  and maybe have the most size. Playing fast will play into LaMarque'a hand.

So are you suggesting Buna just forget what they've been doing all year? Play your game. Play as good as defense as you can. And hope the ball bounces your way a few times.

Sometimes you have to, it's called adjusting. Try to play your game, but when the other team is playing your game better than you ADJUST! LaMarque is going to get up and down the court better than Buna will, I've seen both teams play multiple times this season. Buna is going to have to hit the 3 ball and push when they can, but if it turns into a track meet Buna doesn't have a chance.  Whitmire will have a game plan, and I'm sure they will give LaMarque all they can. 

People forget this team has been to state the last 2 years in 4A, and gave Lincoln all they could handle last season.

Your last comment is exactly the point I made earlier. They were 3 pts away from playing silsbee in the 4A title game a year ago

I don't think anyone has forgot that. Lamarque would probably be a 17 point favorite if not more if this were Vegas. I'm just saying when playing "slow" hasn't worked all year. I as a fan am not expecting it to work here. Buna is at their best in transition. It's not as if I'm saying every possession needs to be a fast break. Just don't slow down and not take the opportunitys avaliable just because the other team is faster.

      Republicans don't deserve...

      Hold them accountable? Like here in Texas where we have, by any definition, the most conservative Speaker that we’ve ever had. He pushed through an abortion ban and border security measures, reduced school taxes, etc… and the people who put him in office are firing him for not being MAGA enough.    Every third commercial on TV is Trump (or somebody who supports Trump) calling Phelan a RINO and supporting an impotent replacement for the most powerful person in the House.    It’s 100% MAGA, and it’s 12000% stupid.    “oh, he didn’t do those things by himself” says everyone who doesn’t understand parliamentary procedure.

      Me personally I respect posters like @bullets13 @CardinalBacker they vote for a guy and can call out others in the party or the direction a party can be headed.... others on here fall "lockstep" with whatever happens and defend by all means is the mantra it seems... no need to call out names, it's probably you if your mad at this statement 🤣

      I recall prior to midterms the R's and the "red wave" would get America "back on track" etc.... they would end this and stop Biden from that blah blah blah, so what's the problem? It looks like a circus show from both sides and whoever can sit or stand with a straight face and defend it is a 🤡! Desantis would've been a slam dunk for the R's and he possibly would've got my vote... now they pick a guy who lost the popular vote twice lol (yeah I know that means nothing in grand scheme of things).. point being is the dude is highly unlikeable (I also know this doesn't matter) 👈🏾 just getting ahead of the deflectors... personally I hope the clown gets in there so ppl can see how ultra right the clown is trying to push America for... IF he wins in November you can bet he will be on a rampage for 4 years getting lil if anything done, will most likely spend his term for the same thing some of yall complain about daily, going after his opponents... but hey the D's do it right? So yeah it's cool if we do it SMH We're supposed to vote on policies etc while at the same time the person you vote for that made promises to change or fix this and that complains about his predecessor being the issue! It's all a joke What have R's done that's good for America since midterms?  What have D's done? And please leave your feelings out of this and be truthful if possible!
