Ummmmm.......After what happened, don't you think future opponents should be warned that this may happen? It's a mentality of the players. The coaches and "adults" didn't cut them loose. If these kids can't hold back their anger any better than that, then they should not be allowed to even play organized sports. Let's keep making excuses for the truly guilty. It's part of why they act as they do. Someone always tells them it's someone else's fault.

[/quote] After watching all of that talent last night at the Yates/Wheatley game, I may fall asleep watching all of that "intellectual" brain power on the HJ floor tonight...  ;D [/quote] It should perk them right up just knowing you are there.

Why would anyone want to play a team and put on notice that something like this might happen? Says a lot about the players themselves, not the coaches or "adults". The UIL is soft. No place for this type of behavior in sports period! Maybe if we keep slapping wrists, we will end up like European soccer matches.

How about neither team should be allowed to even play football against anyone for fear that an "incident" might occur? I think the probation without any type of playoff suspension or denial of a district championship is a mere slap on the wrist. Assault and battery is not a sport of any type that I know of. What happens if their probation is broken and what type of "incident" is required for a stiffer penalty to be served?

In a three-way playoff, what are the scenarios for the non-winners.......what place money do they get and how does it affect the field who were not involved in the playoff?

I guess everyone on the team was a senior, and so was everybody involved in the fight. As far as I know, punishing the group for the actions of a few (this was slightly more than a few) is the norm, not something I just invented. I really can't see anyone being able to punish only those involved. There were too many.

[quote name="skipmeister" post="1180058" timestamp="1329507306"] I hoped the probation included a postseason ban for one to two years. That's what should both teams get for their involvement! Representing your school in the postseason should not be a right in my opinion! [/quote] I totally agree with this, even as far as denying any district championships also. Time to quit making excuses and making dang sure that this will not be tolerated. Anyone who is willing to overlook this as just some kids getting caught up in the moment is delusional.

Definition of blow hard....take your pick.......I'm joking of course.  ;) I kinda like the Urban Dictionary version. [Hidden Content]

You mean just because we won district titles in every major sport in 2011 and basketball (so far) in 2012 , we can't toot our horn? We must be doing something right to get an all caps post from the biggest blow hard around ( kidding of course)

How selfish of me. Congrats to Mr. Singleton on a fine season. I was just so happy to see one of our players win, I forgot to give kudos to the other winner. My apologies.

Nederland is #1 seed, Central is #2. [/quote]Good deal. North Forrest it is. [/quote] Just noticed that CE King and North Forest are tied for 2nd. Has that seeding been decided already? Will they have a play-in game or did King win BOTH meetings? [/quote] Nope. They flipped for the seed this morning. NF won flip and is #2 seed, King is #3 seed. [/quote] Ok. Thanks. What does King have? Does Central match up favorably against them? [/quote] CE King is more of a guard oriented team. They do have a couple of bigs in '6"5 Woodson and '6"4 Anderson, with Anderson being the better player, averages 12 points and 8 boards. Hardy, the two guard, is the player for that team, averaging 16 points a game. If Central keeps that defensive intensity up like they have shown lately, I expect the Jaguars to beat CE King. [/quote] Got any insight into the Ned matchup?

Alright Corbin!!!

Great win over a quality team. Really thought the score would be much closer. Let's Go Dogs!

[quote name="jesusfreak" post="1177879" timestamp="1329258331"] There won't be a tie... Bears win  :) [/quote] LCM has a very good team. Ned will have hit their shots.

.....and DV gets the last word. Who cares what you think about our program? I don't but will defend our kids and town. Move on to something else DV. We know your POV.

Yep, just what I thought.

[quote name="Nedball4" post="1176899" timestamp="1329125472"] I don't post on this site, but I do read discussions quite often on here. I have read multiple threads where dicky v has hammered his opinions upon people and those who disagree he accuses them of not allowing him to have an opinion. Why dont you look in the mirror, you are the one who can not accept others opinions. You have stated your opinion to the point where I'm sure everyone on this board knows where you stand. Why can't that be enough? Instead you come on here and make one of the most ignorant threads I have ever seen on this board mocking and making fun of Nederland posters who don't agree with you and claiming they say stuff which has not been said or even hinted (I.e. "Nederland is going to win state"). On top of that I have seen you call out KIDS, who we all know read this board, by name and call them "jv at best." I don't care how much you boast about being a coach and how basketball savvy you are. Honestly, I doubt anyone on here does. Your right, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but just because they differ from yours doesn't mean they are inhabiting your right to your opinion. You are the one inhabiting others from theirs. Everyone knows your opinion, this thread was completely unnecessary and is a disgrace to this forum [/quote] That's hitting the nail on the head. Grad, correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember a thread where someone said that WOS football, winning in 4A but not winning it all in 3A, was umpteen pages long with lots of WOS fans defending their team's honor. Guess it depends on whose honor one is stepping as to whether the proverbial nail has been struck. I bet even this statement gets a rise.

[/quote] No, the funny thing is that I am not upset in the least...and your lack of a better response further indicates that you have nothing better to say...Funny...isn't it? Now...If we can get off of me and back on topic, that would be a good thing... ;) [/quote] Funny, I thought my response was appropriate. Some people can say more with less. My statement was decent enough to provoke a response from you. Funny.....

Funny how people who tend to single themselves out get upset when other people single them out.

A coach with a state champ ring living on a message board messing with the fans, sitting on his pedestal, tooting his own horn because no one else will. Isn't there a coach's board you could frequent, or does a board of your peers take you down a notch?

Whether best district in the state or the worst, when being judged by teams in the same district, being tied for first place, and being referred as not good, I call foul.

We're #1, but we're not very good.....according to some people. Too many wishy-washy statements made around here. Ned. won district last year and tied for first this year.....B-U-T........ ::)

Nederland played the game right. Ozen just hit their shots and Nederland missed theirs. That's how a team loses the game. ......missing shots. Ozen was the better team last night. Congrats. You won't hear me cry about our coaching or the refs. Sometimes you simply get beat. I can admit that.

Go Duke!

I guess Dickie was too busy with Ozen beating Ned., he forgot about planning for Livingston. Great coaching
