KHSAlum400 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I expect a good, tight game. Very similar styles between the two expect Crockett uses man-to-man alot. Rematch of last year's Quarterfinal in which Crockett won 95-87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rematch of last year's Quarterfinal in which Crockett won 95-87. my personal opinion after seeing Kountze is that their size will hurt them. could be wrong though. They did to Sabine exactly what i thought they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHSUgrad Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Will be a great game. This has been a battle since both were in 3A several years ago. Would call it a toss up. Totally depends on which teams show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squid299 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 i was expecting further south. But i could be way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil92 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I was really just throwing lufkin out because that would be great for me. Probably will be a little further south to be fair to Kountze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snuffy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 After getting to see both of these teams play last night I gotta go with Crockett just for the same reason Squid mentioned. (Lack of height for Kountze) I do think the winner of this game will have their hands full with Tatum or Edgewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHSAlum400 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Showdown is Tuesday at 7:30 at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville. Old stomping grounds for both teams as we battled there many times in Regional Tournament when we were both 3A. Gonna be a doozy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHSAlum400 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Anyone know if this game will be broadcasted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I know it will be on 92.7 KIVY out of Crockett. They should have an online link to listen to the game, but it tends to have problems frequently. I wish I could be at this one, but will instead be at the Grapeland/Slocum showdown in Fairfield.

Wormtongue Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Topher, what are your thoughts on this one? I will take Crockett, I wasn't too impressed with Kountze when I saw em. I know it was one game but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I haven't seen Kountze this year, but with their tradition and history, you know they will be talented. Judging by the roster on maxpreps, Kountze won't have a shortage of players (17 players listed for the varsity). Crockett doesn't have as many players on their bench (12 I believe), but most of them play and their rotation is around 9 or 10 deep. Crockett is catching a lot of flack about their performance against Central Heights, but I'm kind of impressed with how they played. To come back from a 22-8 deficit and beat a team that has been ranked inside the top-10 most of the year was pretty impressive to me. The speed is going to be a wash in this one. Both teams are fast and will get after you. Both teams press and will force turnovers. I think it will come down to who operates the best in a half-court set, and I think the edge there goes to Crockett. That said, if the three-ball isn't falling, it could add another twist to the game. Last year Crockett won 95-87. I don't see the score getting that high, but I see the two teams going in the upper 70's for this one. I'm going to go with Crockett in a close game.

regaleagle Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 One of the teams will be eliminated, so either Crockett or Kountze already played their game that will be their last win for this season, DUHHH? Somebody's going home after this one. The winner will live to play another day, and it MAY not be that team's last win, or it COULD be. Don't know who will be going home, but based on the tradition in basketball Kountze has, I wouldn't be quick to count them out just yet. Not picking them, just saying they know how to pull off upsets, and beat bigger teams. Anything can happen when two teams get together at this stage. Just look what happened in Argyle vs. Madison. Case in point that just happened. Madison was better, faster, more talented, and bigger. Did they win? NO. Good luck to each team. It sounds like this one will be worth the price of admission.
