Just to response to DickieV's comment.  I can see where he's going with this.  Central IS talented every year.  Just like last year, we beat Nederland in a nondistrict game.  But, last year's team ended up splitting the district meetings.  The game that Nederland did win was  in the  dog dome..  They ended up tied for first.  Dickyv sees a repeat of that this year.  I do not.  This year's group is special.

[quote name="Pumper" post="1364683" timestamp="1358521580"] This is the type of matchup that makes high school basketball great.  You know it will be a packed house.  And after the game everyone will try to draw lots of conclusions about what it means, etc.; but I can tell you now that [b]whoever loses is still a good basketball team that will be in the playoffs. [/b][/quote]...and make a lot of noise!

I don't think I really need to expound on your statements for Nederland fans..... Surely they see what you are really saying about this game... :o [/quote]  :-X    :-X

The thing that I like is that a majority if their games, their halfcourt defense got the job done and most of the time, the full court press wasn't even used... That in itself could go a long way...

[quote name="freeze 1914" post="1364658" timestamp="1358518721"] If Central does win it will be because of they defense. I look for it to be a close game. [/quote]Central have held a lot of common opponents to season lows in point totals and I think season highs in the opponents turnovers...

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1364645" timestamp="1358517925"] True Dove. I predict Ned will win because its a must win tonight. Central will not know how to handle the loss so it will send them into a tailspin losing their remaining district games.  :D [/quote]  :o ;D :D

Three of Silsbee's top 5 scorers (1. Elam, 2. Holmes, 4. Reed) were still playing football and 4 of the first 5 off the bench(Jackson, Barnes, Brydson, Scott) were still in football those first 3 weeks. Personnel wise, Silsbee is no where near the team they were those first 3 weeks than what they are now. You cannot make that claim with Central. Silsbee has grown much more as a team than Central. That is a fact, not opinion.

TWO!! Every other player were JV or freshmen players the year before. (besides Thomas who left Silsbee last year in December to go back to PA Memorial). [/quote]...and I'm willing to bet they were impact players that night and the rest of the games those football players were absent in...

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1364451" timestamp="1358448854"] I honestly do not know who would win out Central and Silsbee right now. What I do know is that Central losing to a Silsbee "JV" team is the biggest head scratcher of the season so far. I honestly do not know how they lost that game and I believe had they played that game over again (with the same players as before) Central wins by 20 or more. I think Central took that Silsbee team lightly because those kids knew that wasn't the "real" Tiger varsity team. [/quote] I can see that being the case...

The Baytown Lee loss was a bad loss for Silsbee even tough it was the first game with the football players with 1 practice under their belts and on the road. A couple of those football players did not even suit out for that game. Do I think Silsbee beats Kountze now? Yes. Do I think Silsbee beats Central now? I don't know but I like their chances. I can assure you that based on what I have seen from watching Silsbee and Central early part of the season till now, Silsbee has improved much more as a team than what Central has done thus far. Does that equate in a Silsbee win over Central right now? No it doesn't. But then again, Central had no business losing to a Silsbee JV team neither. ;) [/quote]My basketball credibility is only based off of an opinion (your opinion).  ;) I Never said Silsbee don't get better than they were vs 3 weeks ago.  Where did you pull that information from?  I said Central have gotten better, which is scary considering they were already good at the beginning of the season (evident in blowing H-J away).  But it seems you're trying to downplay the Lee loss (HORRIBLE team with a HORRIBLE record to boot) by making mention of the Silsbee loss (who still had 2 of the regular starters on the game that played well may I add)
