Wow!  This seems like it was a good game as well!

Wow!  That's the same way the Indians lost to my Jags... On a last second tip in with the game tied. IMO, I think it was a great idea to let Ned hold for the last shot.  You let your defense determin the outome of the game.  It sound like it worked just as the PN-G coach planned...  Except sounds like the Indian team got caught with their mouths open and forgot to box out, which cost them the game.  How could you not find one of the star players at this time?  You knew they would crash the boardds..

Livingston - 57 Central - 72 Final

41 - 52 Central at the end of the 3rd period

Livingston - 29 Central - 36 Halftime

12-21 Central at the end of the first period.

Do you see what having dominant bigs in the middle will do for you?  Both are 6'5" and both have moves down low and play good defense.  If you can consistant medeocre games from the guards, this team will not go down easy for Yates, Ball (they know who Nederland is already), or LaMarque...

Nope.  Even if Nederland somehow played very consistant ball, they wouldn't win state.  Maybe they can play with G-Ball or LaMarque and make it a close game if they are consistant, but they won't comming out of Region 3 let alone making state.

[/quote] I think it would be an upset because Central is currently +15 on the season series, has more talent IMO, and currently has a 2 game district edge over the Bears. [/quote]Very good points.  That makes a lot of sense.  I, myself, don't think we'll be losing to them @ Central...

I think he said within the last 3 years...

I do understand what you are saying, but the job he did on that 2007 state finalist team with 'medeocre' talent was superior coaching.  That team consisted of Kris Richards and a bunch of 'ok' players.  They beat Central twice that year, which IMO had the more talented team that year.  then they proceeded to get win after win in the playoffs, beating teams by like 1 or 2 points.  Ozen's coaching was a thing of beauty that year.

We used to beat them all the time  before Kendrick Perkins arrived, which was like in 2000.  We didn't beat them in 9 years after.  Beat them last year @ Ozen in OT.  Beat them again yesterday @ Central.

Not just any win. A win against Ozen is EXTRA sweet! 

[quote name="HooperSG25" post="955116" timestamp="1296064585"] Central's seniors really showed up last night. Allen, Fruge, Fonteneaux, and Ferguson played really well knocking down open shots and playing excellent defense. [/quote]Allen did a good job of battling tough with a kid that's about half a foot taller than him.  Ferguson came in and played excellent defense helping to force a few turnovers.
