Kountze football to end 40 year playoff absence??


Recommended Posts

I understand you have to be able to play football, but extra athletes that have extreme amounts of extra athletic ability always helps. No coach on earth would agree that those athletes wouldnt make a huge difference. If you get those 15-20 kids when they are freshman and coach them on how to play football for four years and now lets say just 5-6 of those super athletic kids become a super athletic football player, at the 2A level if you get 5-6 extra really athletic kids it changes your program from being like Hardin or Kountze to being like EC or Newton. It's all about numbers, thats why 5A's are better than 4A's. It's what coaching is all about taking a kid with potential and getting it out of him. Every coach that has came through Kountze in the past 10-15 I promise you has said man I would love to get some of those basketball players to play football.

Wow! I think folks in Kountze have an allergy to being successful! Everybody on here from Kountze needs to get back to focusing on football and supporting these kids and leave the rest of it alone! I think Kountze still has the opportunity to be in a playoff spot. Look we took one in the "L" column with woodville...now we have to win against WW, AP, Kville, and hope one of those can beeat woodville by more than 2 points. If that does not happen the only thing that changes is we will have to be EC or NE...which I think we all can agree that that is going to be a challenge...hell no matter what it is going to be a challenge. I think AP or Kville has the ability to beat WE by more than 2 points. going to be a tough go...but very possible. We need to help this team and focus on the task at hand not a bunch of extracurricular crap that does not matter!

I can say this about coach Franklin, he knows that the future of any program starts with the very young. He is very supportive of the Youth football program which will not make Kountze a FOOTBALL GIANT overnight, but will over the years to come. Like someone said baby steps. Coaches ate going to make some people unhappy, that's just reality, so put on your big boy pants and lets party Football. I am very proud of our boys on and off the field. I think we have three possibility of starting a great tradition for football excellence if we focus on the positives and  with together to build this program.

Well all I can say is good luck to the lions on the rest of your season.
I hope that they don't let the negativity from all of the "adults" get to them. They should be proud of what they have done this year. The coaches have these kids motivated.Yes they lost to woodville last week and it was a hard lost. But I don't think this team is done yet.

I can see Kountze taking Kville, not so sure about AP.  Also not sure that Woodville will slip up enough to let the Lions back in the hunt.  Should be Newton, EC and Woodville headed to the playoffs.

They are a sleeping giant, maybe they wont make the playoffs this year in football, but they win district in basketball and track almost every year because they have a ton of great athletes. At a 2A school you have to get kids playing every sports to be succesful. If they accomplish that no one in the district can compare to the amount of athletes they have at Kountze beside Newton. They have tons of athletes every year and if they can get excitement in the football program and get those kids to play they will be hard to play with. That's why they are a sleeping giant not because of what there history or current team is but what it could be if they get the right people in charge, and it looks like they are on the right track.

    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
