LOL. 

Memorial puts their lights out...  Tell them good 'Knight'

The red 'hot'  Memorial Titans melt the 'Steele' on the field and make barbecue pits from the molten 'Steele'  for all fans for the State Championship send off tailgate parties.

[quote name="MBaller#1" post="1140554" timestamp="1323165532"] Vidor beat ozen just after Perkins left Vidor went to the playoffs I can't remember exactly what year but they did beat ozen Vidor had a team with lots of height [/quote]Well, their Center was like 6'6" or 6'7" with a soft shooting touch and the Williamson kid was a lanky 6'4" who was also a good shooter.  The rest of them was maybe barely 6'.  The PG was only like 5'9".

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1140457" timestamp="1323135604"] SoSoulja I guess Nederland and central were not good competition??? [/quote]Yes, it was competition for the 3a H-J. Now, I wasn't discrediting Prudhomme at all, because until proven otherwise, he is the best, IMO.  I was simply stating that English showed me a lot against top competition in the YMBL tourney, therefore, putting him in the conversation.  Also, of course HJ-2012 will say that since he is an obvious teammate of Prudhomme.

Key word...  Competition.  Nederland made it to the finals on great play from English.  You probably havn't seen him play, but he's in the conversation now.  Soooo..  its. 1. Prudhomme - H-J 2. K. Smith - Central 3. English - Nederland

After seing the tournament, I think the English kid from Nederland may have a say here.  She showed me a lot playing against top notch competition.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1140387" timestamp="1323126581"] I did hear about the William(son?) brothers @ Vidor. Saw one a couple of years ago. he was good [/quote]I remember that starting linup like it was yesterday.  I think the guards were Reese, Cole, G. Williamson, and J. McWilliams.  I'm forgetting a player, but they all could shoot the lights out.

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1140367" timestamp="1323124500"] nice sarcasism ..  its sad you live off others by making sarcastic remarks so you can get a rile out of someone  when all i was doing was saying how good of coach, coach english is. [/quote]The thing is that we all know how good English was.  We're not questioning that at all.

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1140339" timestamp="1323121324"] Learn how to read.  I said "[u][i][b]I THINK[/b][/i][/u]"  I didn't say "THEY DID".... And yes they we re competitive with ozen and central.  And the subject was about how good of a coach COACH ENGLISH is. [/quote]I actually can read.  I don't know why you would think otherwise.  I know they were competitive with Central and Ozen.  But the 'FACT' of the matter is that particular year, Vidor beat Ozen 3 times in one year.  That same year, they split with Central. I believe we beat you at home and you beat us at Central.  But the fact is that Vidor or any local team for that matter didn't beat any Ozen team that Perkins was on.  Take that for what it's worth.

Memorial's defense will rise once again.  28-17 Mighty, Mighty Titans.

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1140235" timestamp="1323112251"] Yeah very bad.  English had them competitive with OZEN and Central i [u]THINK[/u] they had some years there were they beat those two teams one out of 2 times.  [b]Even with Kendrick Perkins on the Ozen team....[/b][/quote]Ok, now you're going overboard now.  Those Kendrick Perkins teams were not to be beaten by anyone around in the golden triangle.  Ozen may have lost to other good teams in bit time tournaments or maybe the State Title game.

Major congrads on Memorial.  Earlier on in the season, Myself and AAW, stated that this talented bunch at Memorial stood the best chance in this area to make it to state.  Looks like those PA boys didn't dissapoint.  It's such a pleasure looking around at the local newspapers and see that feared red and black walking around Reliant like that.  It brings a sense of pride to see this team (a team that underachieved 2 years prior to this year) finally to the level that they should have BEEN on.  Also, by the Coach being a hometown guy and all.  I know yall are hungry.  Time to eat!  Lets get it!

Lets keep it movin'!

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1139588" timestamp="1323034205"] Soulja, that Aldine team you are speaking of was Aldine High and the player was Gary who went on to play for Texas. Aldine didn't play in a local tourney but played little ole 3A Silsbee in a playoff preview a few years ago. 3A Silsbee beat Aldine that night. ;) [/quote]Ok...  That's the team...  I believe Central played them..  I remember because he is the only one on that team that we had no answer for...  I'm sure it was a local tourney.. It may have been our own tourney, the James White tourney...

Good luck to your [s]Horns[/s], Panthers, or whoever the next team you choose to support. I've supported the [b]Nederland Bulldogs[/b] for all 44 years of my life! [/quote] I will say this about the Dallas Kimball/Lufkin game. That was not the Dalllas Kimball team that played the first two games of the tourney. They were just going through the motions against Lufkin for the first 3 quarters, never pressing one second of the game until the middle of the 4th. I believe it was because Royce Johnson, coach of Kimball, was still pissed about losing to North Shore. He never got off the bench during the game up until the 4th and they rotated players in and out much differently than in the previous two games. It was obvious they really didn't care about the game. What most folks don't know, Coach Johnson was threatening to quit the tourney (not play in 3rd place game) and never return to this tournament because he felt the officials (both on and off the court) were against his team. (I heard this first hand as I was back near the hospitality room where this conversation was taking place) Coach Johnson thought the foul calls were too one-sided and he questioned the bracket lay out. Needless to say, we probably won't see Dallas Kimball back at the YMBL. I think Ned's path to the finals became easier when both Central, PAM and Ozen lost in the first round. But, they took care of business and they did beat Hightower who had just come off beating down Central. ;) [/quote] I did notice they weren't pressing. I thought they were just mad they lost. Didn't kmow the coach was upset over the officials. Goes to tell u there is always another side to the story. According to the score, it sounded like Hightower handled Central fairly easily. Was Central ever in the game? In the preseason poll, i picked Central as being one of the top 2 schools in 20-4A, and i still believe they will finish 1st or 2nd. But Nederland played a great game and beat that same HT team. To discount their victory over HT would be ignorant IMO!  ;) [/quote]We were in the game.  We were actually up at the end of the first period.  We allpwed # 23 to get going by not holding him tigt after hit crossed halfcourt.  We'd guard him only when he was close to the three point line when obviously, this kid have range when he was hitting shots well past the NBA range.    After that, he was heated up and begin to take our players on one on one in the 4th... We NEVER brought a double team to take the ball out his hands or anything. Also, on offense, we never ran any plays to get K.Smith opened.  Everything he got, he had to earn it. Obviously, they know which player to watch.  We'll be fine, though.  I still think we'll have a good showing at the Nederland Tourney, though. [/quote] Not a lot U can do when they have that kind of range. HIghtower did the same against Ned and took English out of the game by having their tall, long kid cover English. What they didn't plan on was Lubera getting hot from 3 Land and scoring 18. Ur Jags have a solid team, for sure. I hear that The Village is pretty talented too, and that's who Central will face in the 2nd round. Look forward to watching that game and the Ned/Silsbee matchup (they both have to reach the semis for that to happen). [/quote]We still have to beat Memorial, though.  This Village team...  What type of team are they?  Tall and lanky, Much size, or a quick guard type team? [/quote] They have a huge 'kid'/man who is 6'9" and is ranked as the 13th best Center in the country. He has verbally committed to Maryland! They beat HCYA by 28 and Lamar Consolidated by 12. His name just happens to be Shaquille! Not sure what else they have, but Dogs1218 or BlueDove may know other kids they have on their team who they watched play this past summer. [/quote]Ok, I see.  A big kid.  This may be similar to the team Aldine had a few years ago where they had one kid (i believe his last name was Gary' played for them.  He was a 6'9" shot blocker.  I believe that Aldine team participated on one of the local tourneys... I believe it was either the YMBL or the Gamble Tourney.  Either way it goes, I hope we're ready.

It's really interesting.  We have to face Memorial 2 times within 2 days.  Its ok, though.  This is my Jags debut to the Bulldog Tourney.  We hope to make a good first ever showing.

do anyone have the all tournament first teams?

[quote name="EZDawg" post="1139128" timestamp="1322961379"] What is up with the North Shore fans? I can hear them on the broadcast. Very disrespectful throughout the entire game.  :-[ [/quote]Yes, they're a rowdy bunch.  I sat right by them today.  They heckled the refs and the opposing team's coach all game long.
