Kountzer Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 My cousin played trumpet in the Kashmere marching band. He wasn't good enough for the stage band. He used to tell me all those stories.I love Silsbee though. Don't get it twisted. I'm not fanatical about it, but there's something about growing up in a small town that is hard to explain.

ST413 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just like has been said the Tigers must focus on Kashmere and get this win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kountzer Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yep. They need to stay focused. If they look past this game, thinking about the next, this could turn into a trap. I've heard of some crazy things happening in the playoffs, to Silsbee teams at that.Silsbee should take this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started my career at Kashmere coaching under my father. My dad arrived there from Madison in 1996, and retired in 2007...from 96-07, Kashmere won district 7 out of those 11 years, won 20 or more games EVERY year, made the playoffs EVERY year, and made four regional tourney appearances...SINCE my dad retired...ONE PLAYOFF APPEARANCE in 2013...By the way, when I coached there in 1997-2000, Kashmere was an ACADEMICALLY EXEMPLARY campus...Yes it has really changed since those days, but I was apart of a MAJOR turn around in that program...We actually were #1 in the state in the 1998-1999 season, the year we lost to PA Lincoln in the regional....On another note, I was the freshman coach as a rookie, and my teams went 33-1, 32-0, & 34-0, winning three city championships along the way, before I left to go to Ozen....Just thought I would throw that in there! ;D ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kountzer Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Kashmere may have had some good years. I didn't keep up with them all that hard. Changing the subject, Coach Frankie Brazos, great guy. Coach Carmen Stewart, another one. Danny Thomas? Among other things he was world class at playing the dozens back in middle school. I haven't seen the Jamie Foxx movie about the Kashmere Stage band. I've discussed it with some people I know from that era, like Lorice Rose, Jr, whom I know from church. Just the same, go Silsbee.
