Nederland - 4 Central - 8 End of the first period Things getting chippy.  Nederland player hit the floor twice.  Nederland's star big man threw an elbow.  Refs give a warning.

There was a Nederland old timer fan that got clocked pretty good by a lose ball in the stands.  He's ok.  Got a round of applause.  Nederland JV - 48 Central JV - 64 Final

On my way off to the game now.  8)

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1171394" timestamp="1328299865"] Mitchell should be Central's #1 option. [/quote]Ding, ding, ding!  We have a winner! 

[quote name="BEARCAT" post="1171358" timestamp="1328296113"] Is Mitchell playing tonight for Central? If not Ned. will win. [/quote]We need Mitchell out there to assert himself since he's our # 2 scoring option.

Predicted Dunkothon H-J - 7 Orangefield - 0

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1171312" timestamp="1328292734"] Dick Vitale picking Nederland on the Basketball pickems. What's up with that? And don't even try to say that you think Central will win but not cover the spread. We wont buy that  ;) ;D [/quote]See?  I told you!  ;)

Only on the 'home' side of the scoreboard. 

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1171077" timestamp="1328274715"] With only a 3 point spread I doubt anyone picked  Nederland in the way you suggested. Good try though Soulja  :D [/quote] Ha ha.  Dang!  ;D ;D

I wonder if those worn pieces are dangerous to the kids?

I hope they play on a different day from Central.  I want to make the trip.  I've been wanting to see this huge venue for a while.  I hope Ozen recks shop!

Central won it by 3 on Nederland's floor.  Nederland won the second matchup in district on their floor. [/quote] Talent did NOT win the 1st game for Central. Nederland lost their cool MENTALLY, and it cost them the game. Nederland stayed mentally focused in the game that counts (district game) and won big. *See my post from a few days ago regarding what happened: Quote Remember though, Ned was up by 14 in that game in the middle of the 2nd Q, then this happened: -Central made a bucket, lead 12 -Central steals ball (no foul called), Ned player gets upset. Tech called. -Central makes both FTs, lead 10 -Central makes 2 more FTs from the foul, lead 8 -Central makes a 2 point shot, lead 6 -Ned misses a shot on the other end. -Central makes 2 more, lead down to 4 for Ned. All of the sudden, it's halftime, and Central has the momentum and is PUMPED! Ned heads to the locker room with heads down and demoralized. End Quote. The 1st meeting was heading toward a blowout win by Ned.the Dawgs don't make that mistake tomorrow night. Central's home court edge will keep it close. Ned wins 47-42 [/quote]They lost mentally to an undermaned Central team that suited only 8 players with the star player K. Smith missing?  Really?

Do anyone have West Brooks and Memorials?

[quote name="bigdog" post="1170711" timestamp="1328213002"] I'm guessing the Beaumont Bowl is still on also? [/quote]I assume it is still on. 

[quote name="gypsysoul" post="1170681" timestamp="1328211919"] I think this is kinda funny to see all these predictions on here.  Obviously someone on here loves him some Central and or Ozen teams.  Mr. rc please stick to your guns when you make a prediction.  Dont start to doubt yourself just because someone make a bet on here.  By the way [b]Nederland is gonna blow yall away[/b]!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] ::) Please  ::)

[quote name="rc2182" post="1170587" timestamp="1328209614"] I have never said anything negative about coaches ,but  i made my judgement based on watching both games. as for as talent is concerned that does not mean any thing if kids don't buy into what you are teaching .Nederland had home court advantage and I think that is what gave theam a slight advantage ,that wont be the case this time around so lets just see what happens both wins were close its not like they blew either team out. [/quote]Remember, Central Beat this Nederland team in the dog dome earlier this year, so I think homcourt at least to Central and Nederland is overrated.  These guys just get after it no matter what.

[quote name="stevenash" post="1170553" timestamp="1328208597"] [quote author=BLUEDOVE3 link=topic=95269.msg1170532#msg1170532 date=1328208100] You gotta give the props to coaches at schools like Nederland (and HJ). They keep winning with [s]no [/s] little talent  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D [/quote] I guess that depends on how one interprets talent.  From my perspective, there are a couple of different ways (probably more) to arrive at your conclusion.  In one corner are those whose evaluation is based on speed, athleticism, and shake n bake capabilities while in the other corner are those who believe that skill and understanding/achieving the game objective are major components of "talent". [/quote]Sweet midranged jumpers is talent.  It wouldn't hurt if you can do a shake and bake, a pretty spin move and push the dunk-o-meter to 5 a game.

I expect to see more school boards come up with rules like these due to economics . [/quote] I guess that doesn't affect Beaumont Ozen.  Looks like they will play in Jerry World in week 2. [Hidden Content] [/quote]That's awesome exposure for those Pear Orchie boys.  Go and get them!

[/quote] Most of them were close to the same as last realignment.  Central was the only big change and they were up over 200 students.  Maybe they can compete on the field now with all of them extra kids.  ;D [/quote]We always can compete, the the problem last year wasn't talent, it was ....  ;D
