Will be interesting Monday night regardless of who wins. HJ beats Nederland...well it's Nederland and they're still playing FB, come on man! If Nederland beats HJ, then some will say...it's a 3A team, come on man!  ::) Rather comical if you ask me!  ;) [/quote] Either way, the wrath of this forum will come down on the loser of this great event ;D [/quote] I would be disappointed if it were any different!  ;D [/quote] ;) [/quote] Dove- you should NOT approve of that. After all, you are a member of the compassionate party and with them, there are supposed to be no losers.

This kis is a very smart player. He is also a great shooter!!! He is one to watch!!! [/quote] You dont have to tell me.  I have been watching this young man since the beginning of the summer and he makes few if any mistakes.  When that remark was made, I don't believe it meant Devonte as he plays the two guard spot.  Devonte is more than competent and can do it all.  What I like best about him is that, although he can do all the fancy stuff, he rarely uses it except when it will give him an advantage.  Have seen him on a fast break deliver perfectly a two handed chest pass to the man ahead of him instead of trying to be Magic Johnson.  Bottom line- Devonte knows how to play and play well.

Very similar to " It's Bush's fault"

Blue- I know you mean well but I wish you wouldnt say stuff like that.  When statements like that are made, it creates complacency in the favorites and motivation for the underdogs.

I just hope that yall keep telling us how weak our schedule is- it serves us well

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1121065" timestamp="1321551991"] Yal didn't play anybody!!!  ::) [quote author=Honest Abe link=topic=91668.msg1121058#msg1121058 date=1321551678] Good luck with that. I think it has been shown that there are more than just two good players for Nederland this year. When your best two players struggle and you still win by 20 points, that pretty much sums it up.

[/quote] Play for 4Quarters? Not sure what game you were watching, but #10 brought the ball up the court the entire time he was in the game, and never threw the ball away. Without him bringing the ball up the court, we might lose that game on TOs and fast break points. Yes, he missed some shots that normally fall for him, but that happens. #21 is probably their best player, and i think he felt he had to do more than usual, and he tried to put everything on his shoulders. Yes, he did miss a lot of 3's, but apparently you haven't seen him or #10 play much. They both normally make a majority of their shots (wherever they are on the floor). Judging these guys by one game is not a fair assessment of their talents. [/quote] Agreed. 10 took care of the ball and pushed the floor that led to fast break points. He'll still have to get better against quicker and faster teams for Nederland to be successful. [/quote]Okay forum, you're saying way too much. We don't want too many Nederland fans knowing how they will get beaten [/quote] [/quote] [/quote] Dove- we get told that every year and it has worked out pretty well.  We have been told each year that when we got to Cleveland, we would find out what it meant to play a good team.  I think they found out the same thing, though.

[/quote] Uh oh- I recommend that everyone driving through Huntington reduce their speed to at least 10MPH below the posted speed limit- if you know whats good for you

Very anxious for the season to get started.  Now that statement is pure basketball.

Sorry- I thought sports were a part of life in general

I think they have become a feeder school for Yates.

[/quote]The St. Pius kids are good. But St. Pius is a football school for those who don't know. They are trying to build their basketball program. Again, the suburban kid is a catch word in reference to a mind set.  I use towards my kids as well. Those who want it (hood) and those who would rather play X-Box (suburban). Get it? :-\ Oh nevamind [/quote] But Dove, aren't you part of the crowd that complains about stereotyping?  Isnt that exactly what the "suburban" inference is? I know how you love when I bring up the old days.  Here is the reverse of what we normally hear about.  Remember the Larry/Magic rivalry? Check out their background/upbringings and you will find it was Larry who led the underpriviledged life and Magic had it pretty good growing up.  But I will bet if we asked the "crowd" that I just referenced, the general perception would be totally the opposite.

It's a good read. TexPreps is good also because it has good coverage of the small schools (3A and down). Dove- How can you be sure exactly who and where "they" scout? I read the mags mostly for info on the "teams" and not necessarily what players and how they are ranked. [/quote] My point is this: Do they come and scout Silsbee and able to give a true assessment of Silsbee? Yes or no? [/quote]

Kountze will be good but HJ has so much talent it's scary! [/quote]how do you they have so much talent,you got Prudhomme and the bosha kid, but than they have a new young PG that will be ok but will make stupid mistakes, and than they got the [b]2 bigs down low that are just OK[/b]. so where do you get "HJ has so much talent it's scary!" [/quote] Correction. Devonte has great ball handling skills and will make you look stupid at any given time. Persohn is a multi-handed and can go either way to the rack great defense. Then Cade, is 6'8". He will block shots within a 5 foot radius. [/quote] H-J bigs must be a little better than just ok. Their back up left last year before the season even started and he is playing college ball now!!! :D ;D [/quote]he left because he knew he wasnt going to get a fair look coming in as a SR, and knew he had a better chance going to state with Evadale ;D ;D and the reason they are just ok because nether one of them can take over a game by them self, now im not saying cade want be able to one day [/quote] Everyone has ALWAYS gotten a fair look at HJ in basketball.
