Shlykbmt is correct.  The PN-G coach called a great play.  You have to do fundimentals like boxing out.  Had PN-G secured that reboud, you go into overtime with the pressure on the Bulldogs because their thinking 'we shouldn't be in OT with a team that will not make the playoffs'.  Plus, PN-G had the home court and fan support on their side. You force the action, you foul them and send a good free throw shooter to the line and your still down or you make Nederland score and then the pressure is on you to answer that score in limited time.  Good decsion, Coach Abel (sp).

If we are going to try and win state, I don't think any 5a teams will be in the way. It's funny that Nederland has hardly ever been included in playoff basketball talks, but when we are doing very well and could possibly make a big push towards state (who knows how far we will go) we have threads predicting which game will be our demise instead of having anything encouraging said.

[quote name="ShlyKBMT" post="956946" timestamp="1296272512"] Never right to call anybody that. But Ned used to chant that at Brandon Arceneaux back when I was in high school. Great game. I hate there's no shot clock in HS ball but PN-G did the right thing by staying back they just didn't box out. Dogs keep finding ways to win period. [/quote]+1 for you! 8)

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.

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.

Smith was from PA until HS. At any rate, the rest has been in NED for at least middle school on. I think what X is really wanting to say is a white player can't play basketball as good as a black.
