The same as last time, Ang Green. Lady Tigers win again.

50-47 Lamar leads at the half A barn burner going on!!!

43-42 NW St. leads 2:40 left

I would guess a week or so probably. Are you saying it will be a week or more before we find out if and who will be suspended or you saying that players will be suspended for a week or more. I think 24 was asking when will we find out.

Well, just another great game that I was fortunate enough to broadcast for our game of the week. I am living the dream!! ;D This game was won in the 2nd qtr. Ozen scoring 32, which is almost half the points they scored for the entire game, was the difference. Got to hand it to Nederland though, they made quite a comeback after being down by 15 at half, actually cut it to 1 with 30 seconds left in the 3rd. The Bulldogs played tough through the 4th but just couldn't get over the hump. They cut it to 4 with a minute left but got no closer as the Panthers made the clutch freethrows down the stretch. Both teams made the game a three fest as each team made more than their share of three's. In the end, it was Ozen's ability to pull Nederland out of that zone and create some penetration opportunities that got them some high percentage shots. Kudos to Coach Boutte and Coach English and all the players for a well played game by both teams. One side note, Willie Jefferson did not get his first points until there were 6 minutes left in the game. I have to wonder if he has been held scoreless for that long in any of their previous games. Again, thanks to NISD for allowing me to broadcast the game. I hope to be back again.

Mike, I appreciate what you guys do. I can't imagine what you guys have to go through on a weekly basis. You are right, you can't cover them all. I am realizing that myself with me doing the Game of the Week broadcasts for Setxsports. I am trying to spread the wealth as much as I can, but try to bring the most exciting and important games is the priority. I have gotten a few " why don't you broadcast our games ". Believe me, I do understand where you are coming from and mine is on a much smaller scale ( not for long, hopefully ). You guys keep up the good work, it is greatly appreciated. What you guys can't get, we here at Setxsports will pick up the slack. ;D

That's right '85. I've seen so many they start to run together. Okay, I am off to broadcast the Ozen-Nederland game. See ya.

That's got me wondering, what high school did you play for and what years? Was it Yates? ....No way!! Those used to be be fighting words, man!! ;D..I played at Madison, and Yates was our crosstown rival!! I played from 88-92. Oh, okay. Home of the 1984 class 5A state basketball champions, Sean Gay and co. Man that was a great team. Sorry about the Yates thing. ;D

That's got me wondering, what high school did you play for and what years? Was it Yates?

You can't be serious?? First of all, none of the players mentioned are nowhere close to the ones you have in this post. Secondly, none of your guards are '6"6 and could actually play inside if needed. That is nowhere near a fair comparison. But to answer your question, I'll take Russell and all his championships. ;D

Tonight's the night!! Who will be going and who will be listening? Hopefully, many.

I may have misspoke. Are you asking to take one of the threesomes over the other or one individual player over the other 5?

This is easy, I'll take Bosh. This guy has proven he can play inside and outside. Runs the floor better than any big man that I have seen come through high school. He was just shy of being another Kevin Garnett in high school. BTW, classification doesn't matter in this regard.

I am not sure where he went to college. He was one heck of a player though.

Say Dicky, that player you are thinking about is Robert Tovar. He started for them all four years in high school, winning the state title his soph and junior years, lost in semis is freshman year and lost in the finals his senior year. He made all tourney all 4 years.

I'll put my 2 cents in here( which maybe only a cent and a half) I agree with most of what each of you have posted. I believe exceptional guard play is the key to great success in high school basketball, but with a disclaimer. I think it is more prevelant in the 5A-4A level. Usually those classifications all yield their share of big men, so usually they cancel each other, unless you get the great ones, which they don't come around as often. Now in the lower classifications, 3A-1A, a big man is a great advantage. Most schools in those classifications can only put a '6"2-'6"3 player down low, but if you have a big man in the '6"7-'6"10 range, that can fill it up and grabs every rebound, you are probably going to win more than your share of games. I've been going to the state tournament since '72, haven't missed a year since. I have seen my fair share of great teams at all classifications. What I have seen is the 5A-4A teams that win state usually do it with guard play, but the lower classifications usually have that big man that nobody has to match up with, and use it to their advantage. Yes, there are exceptions, but usually the state champion in those lower classifications had that big guy that dominated inside. He might have been only '6"4, but he was the key. Just my humble opinion, now back to the debate.

I'll be in Nederland Friday night at the Dog Dome bringing you live broadcast of the Setxsports.com Game of the week. Big 22-4A matchup between the Bmt. Ozen Panthers and the Nederland Bulldogs. Ozen is undefeated in district and looks to keep that way as the Bullodogs try to keep pace with Vidor in that battle for that coveted third playoff spot. Come on out and watch this exciting battle or catch the broadcast here, LIVE, Friday night. Just another great GOW from Setxsports.com!!

My picks would be Hussey for offense and Thomas for defense.

now if im not mistaking boutee came to ozen when the school first open and there werent any seniors at ozen at the so i would consider that as being at a program that is unestablished....................and if im not mistaking doesnt boutee have the most wins than any other highschool basketball coach in texas?? No, he doesn't have the most wins of any high school basketball coach in Texas, active or retired.

Why you ask? Because sometimes we say things that people will always hold us to the fire on, be it right or wrong. Just ask Don Imus(the nappy quote), Rafael Palmero(I didn't use steriods), George H. Bush( no new taxes), and many,many others, including yours truely.

A bit of an interesting night for 3 of the 4 top teams in the district. Other than Silsbee, it was some close calls with the others. The Orangefield and Jasper wins were closer than most expected but the 4 point win that HJ squeaked out over WOS is a total shocker, even without Burrell. The low scoring in that game is quite a suprise. Obviously Trey means a whole lot more to the team than some thought. It's going to be interesting down the stretch to say the least.

Another great Setxsports.com game of the week. First let me say thanks to VISD for allowing me the opportunity to broadcast this game. Many thanks! Now for the game. I was very impressed with Vidor, very fundamentaly sound and great tenacity. The Pirates only suit up 7 players which is quite impressive for a class 4A team. Coach Robertson definetly gets the most out of his team. Jared Williamson, you young man are a player. Great game you played tonight. You put your team on your back at times and carried them to victory, congrats. Congrats to the Vidor Pirates!! A well deserved win.

Easy to say with HJ's 2nd best player and best defender on the sideline for 3-5 more weeks with a broken jaw. : I like easy.

Yea, I do, just given you a hard time. ;D Good luck to you guys tonight. No injuries.
