[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1365177" timestamp="1358626529"] C'mon Robert, using the name "Rosa Parks" implies race. You know it, everybody knows it. Maybe that was a poor analogy of the situation and you did not intend to make it a racial comment. But using a woman's name that hits at the heart of long time racial discrimination, is implying race. [/quote]As I've said once to Abe, it wasn't intended as a racial comment.  Context clues should have indicated that.The sole purpose was the making someone move part.  Selective comprehension once again for some.  ::) ::). Anyway, I'm with Yeoj.  The game is over, we won, and I'm glad that I was able to witness it in my seat... 3 rows from the Nederland bench... 8)

Stick to football, man.  Lol.  Sterling actually isn't that bad in hoops.

[quote name="Yeoj" post="1365143" timestamp="1358619949"] The entire seating area across the from the scoring table was ninety eight percent Nederland fans. And you want to cut the side behind the scoring table in half. My question is, does NISD expect the entire Central basketball fan base to sit in that little fourth of gym space? And are they really going to use the Nederland police to enforce that ridiculousness? [/quote] True!

I will repeat this story again: Last year, Central officials made an announcement (exactly as we did last night) asking fans to sit on their respective sides. There was no issue made bc we respected the rules of BISD and Central and moved. You didn't hear anything about this bc we did not make an issue out of it. [/quote] I went to EVERY Central game last year and that's FALSE information.  There was No such announcement prior to a game.  Heck, I don't recall there being such an announcement in Nederland as well.  The speed limit comparison is lame.  You Have to follow the law.  It's a must.  At a high school game, you're not FORCED to sit somewhere or where NOT to sit.  Heck using that comparison brings Rosa Parks to mind...

There is a visitor side and a home side. You are not allowed to sit "anywhere you want" in the Tiger Den. Most gyms I have been to are set up in this manner, visitor and home side or sections. [/quote] Ned needs to consider a home side and visitor side [/quote] Why is that?  The problem didn't start until that obnoxious Nederland guy started Making the announcement over and over again and went and got a police officer.  Nederland and Central fans were  getting along before that.

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1365089" timestamp="1358607418"] []Here is my take on the seating issue. I have been sitting behind the Ned bench. Before the Ozen varsity game we left to grab something to eat before varsity. When we returned Ozen fans were not only sitting in this reserved section, they were sitting in our friends "stadium seats". We were willing to sit elsewhere but they wouldn't get out of the "stadium seats". Talk about classless. Police had to intervene to force them to return our friends "stadium seats". Are you kidding me. Then throughout the game an obnoxious Ozen fan sitting very close to coach English kept attacking him personally constantly. That section has always been for player families and needs to remain as such. I agree with the enforcement of this policy. There was plenty of seating upstairs for those sitting in the wrong section. [/quote] I don't know about the Ozen fans, but the Central fans were in those seats while the JV game was going  on.  No one got up.  there were Nederland fans there.  There were no problems.  After the JV  games were finished the announcement was made.  At that point is when the  Jag faithful  got enraged.  It was truly uncalled for.  If You didn't want anyone to sit there,  rope that area off prior to the beginning of the freshmen game.

[/quote] I wouldn't get too excited! Central has two freshmen on varsity and at least three other freshmen on JV. [/quote] I've seen the Central Freshmen on varisty and JV-  Nederland has a right to be excited [/quote]  8)

This is what I have to say about this game...plain and simple.  Nederland only has 2 players that are aggressive on offense.  out of those two, one of them goes through the 'passive' stretch of the game.  Nederland needs at least a third aggressive scoring option to beat us at the  next district meeting.  Also, Nederland needs to add some size.  Weisebrod was called to hold Wileridge (I assume he's Nederland's  tallest player) which didn't work.  Toe-Toe did what he wanted and when he wanted in the paint.  Also, had Nederland would have made those open looks, it would have helped them.  Central should have stayed in the full court press and the score probably would have gotten out of hand.  They allowed Nederland to slow the game down, and that's what got them  back into it.  This second meeting will be interesting to say the least.

I can explain this situation that I've never seen before, Abe.  I arrived at the game in the 4th quarter of the JV game.  When the JV game ended, there was an announcement prior to the varsity team introductions.'there are NO Central fans allowed to sit on the Nederland side (behind their bench).  Please sit behind centrals bench, Central fans.  Nederland fans sit on Nederland's side'.  He announced this at least 5 times and then got the police involved to try to make Central fans move.  This is a first to me.  In ANY gym, including the dog dome, teams were always allowed to sit wherever they please.  Now, if that section was reserved for a specific group of spectators (parents, elderly, subvarsity players, cheerleaders, ect.),  then it should have been roped off.  ...and from what I heard, the Ozen fans, when they were there WASN'T harassed like that.  Completely unacceptable.  I was a fan that was in that section, and I wasn't worried.  If I were ever asked to move, I would have politely ignored them and continued watching the game.  Also, Abe, the is NO such rule in place at Central where opposing fans are forced to  move. There is a section reserved for students a Central that's roped off even before the freshmen  games begin, but it's NOT behind either teams bench and no fan is ever asked to move.  Not sure where you got that info from, Abe. Now, #1 for Nederland?  I think Yeoj was talking about the action after his first score.  He ran toward the Central bench heckling them and ran by coach Lee, Central's HC, and said something to his face.  That upset the Central coaching staff and bench but nothing was done about it.  Another incident was when he threw a few elbows at Central's Mitchell.  Ref saw that one but swallowed his whistle.  There continued to be extra pushing and jousting between these two and again., nothing was called...

I'll leave you my number via inbox.

Well, I hung around like 5 mins after the game.  I didn't know you wanted to meet.  I'll catch you in the second meeting..

I'm at the game, Abe.
