Ned can match-up and play basketball with G-Ball or LaMarque since one team (LaMarque) has one superstar scorer and shooters around him (box&1 Lewis and try your best to win that way), and the other (G-ball) with two dominating 6-5 guys that can spread the floor(Kelvin on Evans then Forney on Pettaway).. AND about HJ, I dont see them getting by Cleveland or they might slip up before that and lose.. They need to have the 3-pointers dropping to win deeper in the playoffs [/quote] Translation:  Nederland will advance deeply in playoffs and HJ "probably wont"

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="960764" timestamp="1296767609"] "The Clash of The Titans" seems to have been reduced to a thread more concerned about the fans not in the stands. What about the game. Who was to blame? It seems HJ messed up and Silsbee won the CUP! [/quote].      With Silsbee winning both games it's painfully obvious to me that they r the better team and it was not a matter of who messed up.  Silsbee won the games because they are better and there is not much hj could have done from a strategy standpoint.  U r free to continue your celebration.

I know scheduling difficulties would make it next to impossible.  But it would be fun if a doubleheader could be played when HJ-Silsbee played.  Maybe another good rivalry such as PNG-Nederland or Kountze-East Chambers and have it played at Lamar or Ford Park.

Hmmm- I think I am beginning to sniff out some potential dissension between Lazeek and Santa

Does this mean the regional should just be cancelled and awarded to the obvious champ?

You are so worried about Bosha, throw out stats for your boys then we can talk about Bosha. There will always be someone better than someone else. And for the record, he has played against players all over Texas. Before the season started he was ranked #52 (based on his 8th grade stats). I'm sure by now that number has gone down. Who cares who the best freshman is anywhere? He just goes out and plays he game without comparing himself to others. Either you like him, or you don't. Either you like his game, or you don't. If you like him fine and if you don't, hey that's fine too. Trust we are not losing sleep in the Bosha household. As a matter of fact he will be traveling to Pennsylvania this summer to play with some of the best in the nation! Dang! The kid is 14. Back off!!! CONCENTRATE ON YOURS, THEN MAYBE WE CAN DISCUSS MINE. [/quote]I'm not saying anything about your son. My point is this: It don't matter wgat [/quote]Can anyone tell me why Dove is getting picked on with this thread? He hasn't said anything bad about Bosha (at least not on these forums) He's getting chastised for giving his opinion on a thread that asks for peoples opinions on whether Bosha is the best Freshman. Now, I disagree with Dove on........ well, nearly everything.  But that doesn't mean I need to jump him for disagreeing.
