What are you talking about? Central's Varsity had much more experience last year than Ned, including K. Smith. We had ZERO starters who returned after 2010/2011 and only 2 Lettermen (English and Weisbrod, a Soph and Jr). We started ONE senior last year who did not play on Ned's varsity the year before. During AND after last season, you were the lead voice to get rid of coach Lee. We learned of his incompetences through you. [/quote] I never said he want incompetent.  Lol.  Heck, he's even done some incompetent things this year.  But, it's really hard to argue with results.  There were results last year, so I can see why he got coach of the year.  Now, if you recall, I was with you.  I think English should have gotten it.  8) Now, last years's Nederland team was more experienced that last year's Jag team.  I do know that as a fact.

[quote name="TopFlight" post="1365813" timestamp="1358891662"] This is the same scenario as last year ....Central won the first couple of meetings and Ozen won the last installment of the series...I ecpect Ozen to come out and play with a fire we've never seen before...Central is a good rebounding team but poor shooting team if Ozen can somehow force them into jumpshots then the game is easy..IMO.. [/quote] Understood.  I can honestly see that happening...

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1365702" timestamp="1358872799"] [b]Central is becoming cocky and arrogant.[/b] Already beating Ozen twice they think it will not even be a challenge. This is why It is so hard to beat the same team 3 times in 1 season. Central will make no changes, however, Ozen will make needed adjustments based on the 2 previous losses. Central WILL NOT beat Ozen. [/quote] How is THIS concluded?  I think our young team is very humble and just happy to be in this position.

Just for the record, the majority of the  Central fans behind the Nederland bench Friday DIDN'T have our school colors on...  ;)

I don't want Fontenot.  He's more of a 'hype man ' than an actual coach.  I want someone that knows their x's and o's...

Strength of schedule, I assume...

The Beaumont Surprise back at it again.  They said Central REMAINED at 19.  Umm, they were 10, which means they are are #10 now.  Smh.

They almost lost to PNG because they couldn't get there shots to go down.  There is a lot of basketball left. Anything could happen! Also IMO, the BMT schools should be the top runners in the district in all three sports. Football, Basketball, Baseball.  You have 100K + to choose from with a open enrollment with a 5A school already in the area vs the rest of the district with 16k that have 1 school. I think Ozen and Central should be playing 5A. IMO, i think if you have a area with 5A numbers and a open enrollment, you should be playing 5A. Or close the open enrollment and make them go to the school in there living zone. I bet there are some 7 graders and 8th graders right now playing together from different zones in BMT debating on what school they should all go to when they get to high school. Other schools in the district don't have this luxury. [/quote]Using your example, Worthing High , Davis, Sterling, YEP, etc all should have good basketball programs in Houston because of the population advantage, but they don't.  #2, there isn't a school in this area who can compete in 5-A playoffs against Houston schools. But 4-A is wide open- no dominant teams. [/quote] Do those schools have open enrollment? Sure there is! Ozen and Central would compete just fine in 5-A.  If i am not mistaking but Ozen has won some state titles in 4-A already in there short school history.  I know it will never happen but i think both schools belong in 5-A. [/quote] So you want Ozen with its 1200 students and Central with its 1600 students to compete 5A? Your whole thought pattern is flawed. Once again meaningless... [/quote] The open enrollment is why i say they should be 5-A.  The Hunter boys could transfer to Central if they wanted or all the starters from Central could have chosen to attend Ozen. Some of the starters from WB could as well.  Yeah that's real fair for other 4-A schools in the district.  ::) Close the open enrollment and make kids go to the school in there school zone and i am good with it. [/quote] Really? So Nederland sports have never benefited from Port Arthur transfers? And none of what you're talking about has anything to do with how UIL classifies schools. [/quote] Not sure! Maybe, if so is because they moved into the area.  I know how UIL classifies schools, that's why i am stating my opinion. I think they have it all wrong. So you think Ozen would have won there state championships if they didn't have open enrollment? I will answer that... NO [/quote] Ozen only has ONE state championship.

We know about Ozen's shooters.  Ozen's only Chance is to get some kind of inside game going.  They will also need to control the boards.  A strong task for them.  We know about Hunter.  He'll get his, but will someone else step up?  I don't know.  Ozen thrives on forcing turnovers.  We need to not turn over the ball, make our free throws not allow there to be a dry spell in scoring.  bench play could be key. I have Central by 8

Ozen will be looking to redeem themselves at home!  Could be a barnburner!

[/quote] 40. [/quote] Let me reword it.  The 40 points are amongst the lowest total for Nederland this season... [/quote]Yep. Not gonna win many games scoring 40 points against an elite team. The defensive effort for Ned was impressive as well. Since the Lufkin tourney, the Jags have averaged 64ppg. Holding the Jags to 50 is not easy. 50 points is amongst the lowest output for the Jags this season. Central has scored exactly 50 in 3 games this year, plus a 38 point and 44 point performance in the Lufkin tourney. In order to win games, we must show up in the 1st half. We have come from behind too many times this season. We must find a way to get a lead early. Gotta play hard and aggressive all 4Q's, not just the last 2 when we are behind. [/quote]Very good info and very true.
