It's gonna be tough for Big Ned...

If it was not contested, I'll let him take that shot any time.  He's a really good shooter...

Houston Madison vs. [b]FB Hightower[/b] Seven Lakes vs. [b]FB Travis[/b] Nederland vs. [b]Galveston Ball[/b] [b]LaMarque[/b] vs. Kingwood Park [b]Hardin-Jefferson[/b] vs. Mexia Athens vs. [b]Sealy[/b] Tatum vs. [b]New Waverly[/b] White Oak vs. [b]Crockett[/b] Evadale vs. [b]Mason[/b] Cayuga vs. [b]Tenaha[/b] Clarksville vs. [b]Grapeland[/b] Dodd City vs. [b]Laneville[/b] [b]Roxton[/b] vs. Saltillo [b]Lubbock Estacado[/b] vs. Burkburnett [b]Argyle[/b] vs. Liberty-Eylau

Is Ball High a good free throw shooting team?

[quote name="football04" post="976046" timestamp="1299126389"] While I admire Coach Suggs, as a Nederland fan I don't want him back in 20-4a [/quote]I can see why.  When he was at Central...  well, you know the rest...  ;) ;)

[quote name="Scooter!" post="976013" timestamp="1299124515"] i dont fault the kid. I fault the person that told him to shoot it instead of drive the lane. smh. I know Boutte wouldnt have called that for him to shoot a 3 in that situation, not saying the coach did but i know he wouldnt have. Just saying.  ;) [/quote]It was one of those situations where coach probably said 'son, I want you to take it all the way to the cup.  If they play off of you, TAKE THAT OPEN SHOT.'  I didn't listen to any broadcast nor was I at the game, but was Green's shot contested?

Major congrads from this Jag fan! [/quote] Can't believe upicked them to lose Soulja-U disappointed me ;) [/quote]I tell you one thing.  It will be VERY difficult to pick against this team.  They're deep in these playoffs and they are for real.

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="975951" timestamp="1299121592"] Ned hasn't played Ball yet. Ball won the Ned tourney but they never played. [/quote]Ok.  Your right.  I knew it was a good team that gave Ball everything they could handle.  It was Silsbee.  I was thinking of nederland...

[quote name="Scooter!" post="975961" timestamp="1299121920"] when you got that much time left you drive to the cup. worse thing that can happen is you get fouled and go to the line [/quote]Roger that!

Exceptional season, Panthers.  You continued to stay as a team all season long and made 20-4a proud. I look forward to seeing you ddo the same thing next year. It was fun seeing you this year...

[/quote] Ball is not 5A. [/quote]Ball WAS 5a when he arrived...  This is their first athletic season as a 4a school... [/quote] But it is not their first season with 4A numbers. It's a "one school town" but Texas City and Lamarque get their fair share of Galveston athletes. [/quote]Ball did make the playoffs as a 5a team (with 4a numbers).

Ok.  Just pretty much name any player off of the team that you follow and say HE'S in the top 25.  Just because...  :D :D

I know.  We're (Rockets)  3 games back from the 8th spot, which is currently occupied by the Suns.  That's why I mentioned them...

The [b]SUNS[/b] did not play last night and are currently on a [b]4 [/b] game winning streak...

I still say----->why leave Aldine Nimitz for Ball High?  ??? [/quote] Ball wasnt always like they are now..They use to be a Texas power house, plus all the talent their in the Galveston area..Maybe he thought he could get people out to play football, but Its really bad out their right now.. [/quote]I've heard that most of the talent left Galveston for LaMarque and other nearby schools after the Hurricanes...

And he's a lot closer to home...

They'll make the playoffs.  They are the hottest lower tier team in the West right now.  We just need to hope the Suns lose a couple as they are currently 8 seed and are on a 4 game winning streak...

Wow!  Spray painting the stands?  Yes, Burnett did the right thing.  Lock it up after school hours.  Only open it up when there is staff there to monitor.  It's sad when grown people have to be chaperoned...

Dionte Forney [/quote] I like this list as well, but [b]I prefer Cunningham over Smith.[/b] I truely believe Cunningham is Ned's best player. Prudhomme is the better player than Gus, but I really like Garrett's leadership on the floor. [/quote]You may have an argument there!

Send him back to Central!  ;D ;D

[quote name="PaBees" post="974500" timestamp="1298992972"] I can't put out a list of twenty five, but I can throw out a 1st team, 2nd team, 3rd team scenario.  I'll do it with five on a team the way it should be done, rather than an all-district team of 30 guys. 1st Team SETX: PG Earl Bray, Port Arthur Memorial SG Brennan Doty, PNG SF Chris Cunningham, Nederland PF DC Stallworth, Silsbee C Kelvin Smith, Nederland Everyone in this group is not necessarily in position, but I think these are the best five in the area. Second Team: PG Garrett Gustaffson, HJ SG David Green, Ozen SF Hunter Gonzales, LCM PF Shawn Prudhomme, HJ C Dionte Forney, Nederland Third Team: PG Kelton Gaines, Silsbee SG #2 Livingston.  I want to say Jacory Thomas, but that could be way off. SF Kristin Smith, Central PF Prentice Lane, Silsbee C Jeffrey Ieans, Ozen There should probably be one or two from West Brook on this list and maybe another from PA, but I just haven't seen much 5A basketball this season.  Sorry in advance.  A few guys are a bit out of position, but I tried to take what I thought were the best five and put them together and then do the same with the second and third teams.  HJ guys, I know you will say Prudhomme will be higher, but I don't think he's there yet.  With that said, everyone ahead of him is a senior.  Flame away! [/quote]Nice try, but no cigar...  ;D
