'great atmosphere'. [/quote] Yeah BMTSoulja1, AND more butts in the seats also means more money for the schools. In my opinion, the schools miss out on a lot of money because many fans, not your die hards, don't want to have to try to leave work early, fight the crowds and stand in line and hope to get in.  They just say, oh well, I'll catch the highlights on the news. I also agree, more fans/butts in the seats, creates a hostile environment and a great atmosphere. [/quote] 8) 8)  A big rivalry game like an E-C vs. Kountze, Silsbee vs. H-J, Ozen vs. Central, or even Nederland vs. PN-G would reap nothing from benefits from this.  But Just like Stevenash stated, who would be willing to fork over the dough to build this facility?

[quote name="atb63" post="1161404" timestamp="1326812250"] Hey, they already have the "Butch" for football, they can just add a gymnasium. That's how they have it in Fort Bend County. I live in Fort Bend County.  There are two athletic complexes for the 10 teams to play their games including a football field and a gymnasium, and the newest one also includes a natorium (sp?). I don't know why they didn't build a gymnasium at the Butch.  Central's gym is definitely too small.  West Brook and Ozen's gyms are ok. But, when you have the boys and girls teams playing each other, even Ozen's gym gets crowded. Especially last year with both girls teams being ranked in the top 10 and this year with Ozen's girls being Ranked #1.  Either way, Ozen vs Central will always have a packed house, and when either team plays West Brook. Also, HJ, Silsbee, Kountze, and some of the other teams are normally ranked and if not, just because of the rivalry, the fans will come out to see the game. That's a good idea Bluedove [/quote]I completely agree!

Let me guess...  this wouldn't work because it wouldn't be the same 'atmosphere'.  ::) ::)

Yea, I went to a lot of Central games and saw a lot of things during the old Coach's tenure.  All of the things I've menttioned happened, unfortunately.

Tigers will have jetlag.  They'll still win, but you'll see a slow start.  Tigers still win by 15+.

On a holiday?

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="1160781" timestamp="1326662165"] Sorry Soulja, I forgot the score of the first game. And I think the district winning streak is about 25. I remember us getting hot at the end of district 2 years ago. I think we won our last 6 that year. [/quote]Yea, it's kindof easy to forget that one...  That game was played at 8:00 am in a consolation round of a tournament.  There was only about 10 or 11 spectators in attendance.  ;D ;D. 

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="1160542" timestamp="1326647789"] This is a very talented team. Much like Central. Central has beat them 3 times but it has been close all 3 times. I hope Nederland is ready. And comes out firing because this won't be easy. I like Nederland by 6. [/quote]Wrong.  All 3 games were not close.  First game, we won by 21, second by 8, and last one was by 2 (without Kristain Smith playing).

You know, this could be an interesting game.  Ozen has the size and athletisism to give Nederland fits.  I also think that Coach Saveat can and will make better in game decisions than our staff does.  But due to the face that Overall, Ozen does have less overall talent than we do and Nederland was able to overcome us by double digits when it counts, I have no choise but to give it to Nederland.  Sure, you'll say thet struggled with Lumberton, but that was only jetlag.  They'll get back to what they do best and win by 10 since Nederland plays at home.

[quote name="D3zii" post="1160483" timestamp="1326624175"] Central had at least 3 that could have went to state ( 03,05,08 ) Once the right coach comes in that knows how to coach these type athletes, their will be more 4th and 5th round apperances, then just every blue moon, and  3rd round would be the norm.. [/quote]Preach on, Brother Jag!

ok.  7th place is cool too, I guess.  ;D

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1160128" timestamp="1326582837"] I think that dunk pissed Silsbee off. If Prudhomme would have just did a layup maybe the out come would have been different. Don't dunk on the Tigers and expect to win.  ;D [/quote]Ha haaa!  I love it!!!! 8)  8)

I'm tied for 3rd!!!!  Wooooo!  ;D

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1160028" timestamp="1326573919"] [quote author=AggiesAreWe link=topic=94174.msg1160018#msg date=1326572891] Was just going through the game broadcast from last night. [b]At the 3:51 mark of the 2nd quarter, HJ's Shawn Prudhomme got a break away 2 hand slam(only dunk of the game for either team)[/b] to up the Hawks lead to 25-14, largest of the game for HJ. From that point on till 3 seconds left in the 3rd quarter (game time total of 11:48) Silsbee out scored HJ 35-6, to give them their largest lead (and the largest lead for either team) at 49-31. This 35-6 run is a pretty good reason among others as to why Silsbee won the game. ;) [/quote] BTW, for those "dunk enthusiasts", that dunk for HJ didn't do them much good but it sent Silsbee on a 35-6 run. ;) [/quote]Whoot, there it is!  8) 8)

I wasn't trying to be a smart butt, I thougt maybe the two guys named Saveat confused you.  But to answer your original question, you're correct.  They both could do better.

Very good explanation.  I understand it perfectly.  Senerios fit the situation.  Just one thing...  Your own teamates will not be laughing at you if you get dunked on...  Well, at least not in THAT game.  Now, the next practice....  That's another story.  You may be the butt of some jokes.  ;D ;D

Central vs. Ozen

my point exactly! Lol

[quote name="vp32" post="1159827" timestamp="1326547510"] Maybe a dumb question here but isn't this the same coach that brought em 3 rounds deep a few years ago? [/quote]Yes.  That team was Donald Stower's leftover talent.  They were bound to be good no matter what.
