That’s been the case for several years. 

True but this year is a senior heavy team with I think 3 soph s and 2 juniors. (I could be wrong on that). The jv has no one and when I mean no one I mean NO ONE. 2 of the jv ers are seniors which makes no sense. I know there s a couple of 8th graders with talent but not sure they are ready for varsity level come next year.

Kountze loses 3 Seniors and returns 8. 
8th grade was average this year. 
7th grade went undefeated and beat everyone by 40+. Very nice group coming up for the boys and girls in the 7th grade. 

I have a good friend who’s son played on the boys 7th grade team. I’ve heard nothing but good things about him and the club. I hope to get to check them out.

Kountze may have transfers coming back to to Kountze. They usually are kids that were originally in Kountze, or never left Kountze, deciding to come back.

My question was would these kids come back to an average club? Not just Kountze but it happens for various reasons all over SE Texas. Sometimes it has nothing to do with athletics, single parent homes are often a driving force. There are always however some that come for athletics. I don’t know anything much about Buna transfers . I think the best player in our area this year was originally from Buna but I could be wrong.

If you are speaking of Bush, he is a Silsbee kid. Always has been.

Speaking of Buna, their best player is a transfer from Silsbee. Matter of fact, because of a family situation (divorce), word is he will be moving back to Silsbee after this school year.

One of them is back this year, after a 3 win season. Obviously there are factors that play into every kid's situation, and I will not speak about kids that are on campus, specifically. 

As for Bush, his mom is from Buna. I don't know his father, but I am assuming he is from Silsbee. Bush's cousin, Shannon Robinson, attended Buna until his 8th grade season. At that point, he transferred to Silsbee. Jeremy Johnson also lived in Buna, played youth sports for Buna, before making the move over to Silsbee as a 7th grader. Bray went to Silsbee, spent a little time at Legacy, before coming back to Silsbee for his freshman year.

I am thinking we have a different opinion on who Buna's best player is. I'm hoping anyway.

Maybe. But someone very close to Buna basketball team agrees with me.

Bush dad is from Silsbee. All-state basketball player who played for Sigler in the 90's.

I know that Bray is a Silsbee kid because he lives in my neighborhood (just around the block). Been living here basically all his life.

I had someone tell me several years ago his family was originally from Buna and he played Little Dribblers over there. I’m not implying any wrong doing on anyone’s part . Just that he has roots to Buna.

Oh I don't doubt it. People may be confused because his family ties to Buna, but I know. He's 100% Silsbee.

      You start opening fire and drop about 10 or 12 of these protesting morons it will break up pretty quick.    This ties in with killing the chicken killing dog.

      This is an easy one. We have let grifter unqualified coaches infiltrate our children and convince them that they will be D1 athletes if they only focus on a single sport. We've got kids, with single digit ages, playing their sport year-round to "maximize exposure" despite the fact that most college coaches on the recruiting trail will value a multisport athlete. This translates to the school year and ends up with kids being football, basketball, baseball only kids. Track is pretty much the only one left that keeps kids playing other sports and that's primarily because football coaches demand their football kids be track athletes. I literally talked to a man last night, who just moved to Texas from Oklahoma who was telling me his kid played on two different football teams during the season last year. One for his school, one for his select league. During the week the kid was a RB for his school, and on the weekends, he was a QB for his select team. This would equal 7 days a week of full contact football for a 6th grader......6th grader. Once that ends, rolls straight into 7 on 7 for the spring and back to football in the summer. All this for a kid, who seems to be a good athlete, but probably has a ceiling of D2 at best, if he doesn't burn out before that. Parents are silly and think they can develop their kids into being the next Quinn Ewers, but they completely miss the biggest factor in creating that type of athlete.....genetics. Genetics are undefeated. Always have been, always will be. Play sports because you love to compete then compete in everything you do. Quit giving bullsheet rings to "state champions" every single weekend all over the US and get back to valuing team championships won at the community level to build the continuity when they are young. This is the only way to reestablish the pride once felt by every kid in every town across Texas when they got to put on a uniform with their school colors. Otherwise, we can kiss the magic of high school sports goodbye.

      I hear you but I don't think this is going to ding her political career as much as some think, especially in SD.
