[quote name="ForeverADog" post="963663" timestamp="1297281744"] What district number is this district? [/quote]24-4a...

Nederland have 2 6'5" bigs, but Ozen have 1 6'8" kid that have the length that can bother Nederland. Ozen still does have weapons at their disposal.  It will be interesting to see how Ozen plays this one...

[quote name="datboydmill" post="963572" timestamp="1297272886"] 68-62 ...looks close but nederland outplays em for FULL four quarters.  8) [/quote]This score would be about right if they played a few weeks ago.  Right now, Ozen will need to find consistant scoring to keep up with Nederland and I'm not sure if they can.  I predict 59-45 final...

Good win for the Titans.  Should I start singing the 'Mighty Mighty Titans' song? 

8) 8)

I thought about trying to find you at the Central/Humble game, but it got so cold, I didn't want to move much! If Washington loosens the rains on Mitchell and lets him run some more, Central could have a big run. FWood looses Metzhold, Dawson will take a step back, Angleton will drop back, Humble looks tuff. Big school region 3 could be up for the taking this year? Unfortunately I don't see Washington changing his stripes. As for DII...As much as it pains me to say it, It's all LaMarque! Even Brenham won't get past the Coogs. I think we will see an Aledo/Lamarque rematch. Probably withe the same outcome. [/quote]Mitchel is athletic and runs good, but what makes him special since he was in Middle school is that he throws lasers.  They want him to be able to pass the ball in the pocket.  I believe the coach figured out that his running ability could be great later on in games when the defense is tired.  I think the rains will be a lot looser as he will be a Junior and 3rd year on varsity, second year starting.  Yes, it was cold at the Humble game.  No one wanted to move!  I don't blame you!  Friendswood will continue to be good.  A couple of years ago, F'Wood had a blue chipper QB and when they lost him, I thought F'Wood would be ready to beat.  But that Metzhold proved me wrong.

Ozen 7. Nederland 8. Lumberton huge battle between 3-7, but this district is wide open. anybody can win on any given night. all teams lost a lot of players with the exception of livingston. [b]lcm returns a lot of offense[/b], vidor returns a lot of defense. that's my opinion. [/quote] Who?  LCM looses 90% of it's offense with Gonzo and Sonnier! I think the top three are correct, but Nederland will be #4 in that mix. Not necessarily 4th, but top 4. Ozen has talent, but they always do!!! Vidor is back to being Vidor as is Lumberton (notice how quiet it has been the past few years from up north!  ::) ).  And as I stated before the Bears are loosing it's 1-2 punch! If I had to rank 'em today. 1. Livingston (Can win the district, but will struggle to win in the playoffs due to the system) 2. Central (Mitchell takes the next step) 3. PNG (New signal caller, but great weapons at his disposal and this coming Senior group won a lot coming up through the ranks) 4. Nederland (Young QB got his feet wet last year and they had a lot of Soph's step up last year...Good 2013 class means a year away from a DC) 5. Ozen (Talent alone gets 'em close) 6. LCM (Crouch gets 'em close) 7. Vidor (Mathews gets 'em close...to the bottom) 8. Lumberton (Got some good youth programs, but a few years away) I don't see a standout in this district that will compete for a State Title.  [/quote]I love your breakdown here.  I need to set with you at a game!  We'll get along fine!  ;D ;D

I think most teams double him and make someone else step up. Just my observation and I think he's been hurt some this season which really hurts the Bears. [/quote] Is he back from the shoulder injury?  Good player!! [/quote]He's been back, but IMO havn't been productive enough...

[quote name="NHS83LU87" post="962313" timestamp="1297093382"] Saturday made it very interestinfor the final three games.  PNG plays on the road for 2 of the games(LCM and Central) and home against Vidor; Vidor plays on the road(Central & PNG) and home against Livingston; Livingston plays on the road(Ozen & Vidor) and home against LCM; LCM has home(PNG & Nederland) road(Livingston).  IMO 4th place is going to have a losing record:  PNG ends up 6-8; Vidor ends up 5-9; Livingston 5-9; LCM 4-10.  The key game to decide if Livingston ties PNG or not is their final game at Vidor.  I just think the road games will be losses for these teams.  Central should win out and finishes 10-4 in 3rd;  Ozen wins at least 2 of 3 and finishes 11-3 in 2nd;  Nederland wins at least 2 of 3 and finishes at least 12-1 for 1st.  Key game Ozen at Nederland.  Nederland clinches at least a tie for first with a win @ Lumberton Tuesday.  [/quote]This seems completely accurate...

[quote name="dogs1218" post="962279" timestamp="1297089401"] Who cares what word he used??  ??? It doesn't change what the record book says... 2 "L's".. [/quote]Congradulations.  I've already commended Nederland on having a great team and I've stated that if consistant, this team is VERY dangerous.  But now, Nederland is all world and DOMINATED a team.  I guess that's just how some fans react when their program isn't really used to winning a lot.  I understand.  enjoy the wins, Nederland.  Even though you have a few non-knowlegable fans and it makes it hard to deal with, I will root you on for the rest of district and the playoffs...

He's not the only one that stated this.  So I guess we need more than 1 pocket dictionary...

I love the way you use the word 'dominate' in a 10 point win...  ::) ::) Whatever keeps your wagon rolling, I guess...

[quote name="baddog" post="962002" timestamp="1297016485"] You are definitely entitled to your opinion Soulja, but you also predicted two Central wins this year.  ;D [/quote]Hey great minds goof up some times...

Whoever Green throws to...

[quote name="vhs1960" post="962005" timestamp="1297017138"] Livingston will be very good next year.  I expect they finish somewhere in the top 2 or 3. [/quote]I agree!  Livingston will be good...

It would be a much different game today. Ned is a lot better than those first 10 or so games of the season. Much like Silsbee would like to have the Ozen game back. [/quote]Im going with the new[color=red] Thomas Jefferson [/color]NED. But still dont think NED. can handle PAM in yo face de thats the key to beating the bulldogs. [/quote] If this were even close to being true, how do explain Englishs success at Vidor. It's the coaching. That's what it always comes down to with Nederland sports. Lombardi once said to an opposing coach......." I could take your team and beat you." [/quote]Also helps that on his Vidor team, he had a really good inside outside big man 6'7".  With this Nederlandl team, He have 2 big men (both 6"5") that are better than the Big he had in Vidor.  Seems that English is good at playing a slowed down game with good post play.  Coach Williams have proven that he can Play a more slowed down style as last year, he had a great roll player in Stallworth, a very good 6'8"  big man that played good defense with great guard play.  This year's Silsbee team don't have a player taller than 6'4", but that don't stop them from competing and dominating teams with superior size.  They run and gun, they play smothing defense, they're athletic, can shoot, and the big man they do have plays 4 or 5 inches bigger than his size.  All and all, I'm a fan of good big men, but seeing that I've seen both teams play, I have to go with the Tigers with a -7 line...

Yes, that's right.  Fruge didn't play.

I'm just sayin'... [/quote] You Sound like a bitter loser to me...I'm just sayin'... What happened to that upset tonight? Chuckle. That was ur response, right? [/quote]Not bitter at all, but I figure I would make light on our loss to Nederland last night.  I did make a prediction that didn't come true.  And guess what?  I have plenty of wrong predictions to make.Nederland is a good team, but not on Silsbee's level.  They have great athletic players and they are very well coachhed..  Silsbee takes it...

Tigers would win..  They are like PA Memorial...  But Better.  Nederland do know who PA Memorial is... I'm just sayin'...

[quote name="dogs14" post="961823" timestamp="1296966633"] Man, Soulja you were so sure about that win, man thats just too bad that nederland just keeps beating up on all your little beaumont teams :'( [/quote]Glad you feel good that you gloat about it.  :-* :-* Dogs played well. 

Good game, Bulldogs.  Your team played a complete game.  #24 for yall got hot early.He was the key.  I also like the way you withstood our runs.  Good teams do that..  You took advantage of your height advantage.  And that 6'4" freshman?  He's a phyical speciment.  Not afraid to get physical.  Nederland will be a good district champ and if consistent, they will do damage in these playoffs.  Congrads to them. I think Central did well.  I just think that you need to keep a scorer on the floor.  If Smith goes out, Fruge needs to be in.  I also think that in a game where your playing againt big men, you have to make them defend.  Shoot the midrange jumper.  We need more movement on offense. More screens and backdoor cuts.  Love the way we kept battling.  Jags will be ok.  Since this big game is out of the way, time to get back to winning and hopefully make some noise in these playoffs...

Central - 70 Nederland - 80 Final

55-41 Nederland at the end of 3rd period

Central - 31 Nederland - 36 Halftime

21-11 Nederland after 1st period...
