It will be a good game as both teams head towards the playoffs. I think if you keep most of your fans away from this game, yall have a better shot at this game. Let me share one of my (many) inspirational quotes: Tis better to beat Nederland and go to State than to beat Nederland and not go to State!! da Dove!! [/quote] Actually All the Ned faithful gonna come to this big nice gym with ample seating cause I'm afraid Central just gonna have one very small roped off section with armed militia for Ned fans to sit in next Tues night  ;D ;D [/quote]Okay, don't forget  the game starts at 8:30.

[quote name="Stevenash" post="1369841" timestamp="1360004610"] Such a nice gym and such a lousy lighting system. [/quote]Maybe you need to get your eyes checked ;)

We only had 6 or 8 points from the rest of the team. We just gotta get some others involved offensively. If I remember right, English had 18 of his 22 in the 2nd half.

Yall bring it on  :P [/quote]You know i'm a bit slow. Can you explain that one a bit more. [/quote]We have guys as well who love to perform in big games ;) All you guys gonna do is set up in that zone and play %'s with Ozen's shooting. Ain't gonna work if yall don't get no rebounds  ;)

Ozen was blowing Nederland away. Ozen took the pressure off and Nederland took advatage of an opportunity.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1369549" timestamp="1359911205"] Still, no one made a prediction, so, I will... Big Ned - 55 Pear Orchard - 63 [/quote]Too close! Will be by a larger margin

Sunday morning and it's already starting. All three teams make the playoffs. So is this about school bragging rights and/or  district banners in the gym. Plus side is that 4-A is so wide open this year, there  is no clear dominant winner in our region. So Nederland should not take this upcoming game so serious. 8)

Thanks, I need to watch this game and a kid from Clear Lake

[/quote] Is that the case in this particular situation? [/quote] What particular situation? I thought this was just a general, hypothetical situation? (and we will not discuss any particular situation on this board) [/quote] I believe this thread was started in regards to a particular situation but I am not about air it out here.  Just wondering, if we won't discuss a particular situation on this board then why did you ask me "what particular situation"?    [/quote] I started this thread with my thoughts on how some athlete's decisions can affect their team.  I could have been talking about PED's in MLB or the NFL.  It really doesn't matter what particular situation initiated the thought process.  But we have a problem with a "me" generation and athletes not being held accountable for their actions by their teammates. [/quote]So, if an athlete in high school is doing something that can potentially hurt himself, are you saying the team should have a "come to Jesus meeting" with the teammate in question?

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1369027" timestamp="1359759352"] In Houston, Dove we don't REALLY have "Senior Nights", because our district games are played at the stadiums.  Therefore, it's only Senior Night if they just CALL IT that in Houston...My "senior night" was our last district ball game against Bellaire....Scored 34...won by 30...Dad had us (starters) sitting almost the entire 4th quarter talking about getting healed and rested for the playoffs! >:(....I think he was taking it easy on his buddy on the other sideline!!!  I could have scored 50! That's YOUR coach, Bluedove!!! :D :D 8) [/quote] True, games were in the stadiums. Forgot, its been awhile. Coach must have been getting soft during your time. He didn't care who was the coach was - he wanted blood.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1368991" timestamp="1359754764"] Been going on for many years. You just now noticing it because your kids are just now playing varsity basketball. ::) (would have noticed this a few years ago had you stayed at HF) ;D [/quote] I first heard about it at HF about 2-3 years ago. Kinda like when I first heard about Little Dribblers  back in the early 2000's. I thought Lil' Dribblers were  4-5 year old kids playing basketball.

Is this a tradition in S.E.Texas and other small communities?  Never heard of this until a few years ago.
