Central - Many returning starters and with the Goof troop gone, I agree that Central should challenge for the title. 3. PN-G - They won't have 2 horrible years in a row with Faircloth at the helm. [b]4. Ozen - I expect everything the team does will center around Brown with all his all world speed. [/b] Vidor - they'll  it hard to replace Quirante.  6. LC-M 7. Livingston 8. Lumberton 1. North Shore 2. Memorial 3. West Brook 4. LaPorte 5. Deer Park 6. Sterling [/quote] Brown is extremely gifted athletically but, insignificant as a football player! Ozen's team will be led by #11 who's the heart and soul of their defense. And be on the look out for the new RB who's going to be stud.

[/quote] The open enrollment is why i say they should be 5-A.  The Hunter boys could transfer to Central if they wanted or all the starters from Central could have chosen to attend Ozen. Some of the starters from WB could as well.  Yeah that's real fair for other 4-A schools in the district.  ::) Close the open enrollment and make kids go to the school in there school zone and i am good with it. [/quote] Really? So Nederland sports have never benefited from Port Arthur transfers? And none of what you're talking about has anything to do with how UIL classifies schools.

At the end of the day Central won! Talk and post whatever you like but, you can't change that fact. For the second time this season.  ;D Use your dictionary to look up the word for a team that loses twice to another team! Lmbo

And by the way, no one took the seats that the Central fans were forced to give up. They remained empty for the duration of the game.

The entire seating area across the from the scoring table was ninety eight percent Nederland fans. And you want to cut the side behind the scoring table in half. My question is, does NISD expect the entire Central basketball fan base to sit in that little fourth of gym space? And are they really going to use the Nederland police to enforce that ridiculousness?

Nothing is really wrong with the Bulldogs. They are simply just the third best team in 20-4A. It's actually quite obvious.

[/quote] I wouldn't get too excited! Central has two freshmen on varsity and at least three other freshmen on JV.

Went to this game and the refs were horrible! Central played 5 against 8 all night.

The JV team myth: Central started two freshman that game that were new to not only varsity basketball but, high school basketball. The other three staters had one year of high school basketball experience. Fielding a JV team or not, it's arguable that your Silsbee Tigers were the more experienced team.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1364441" timestamp="1358447712"] That is not bias, that is fact based on the personnel of each team. Central still has the same team they started the season with, Silsbee does not. Is Central playing better basketball than they were early in the season? YES!! But Silsbee was basically fielding a JV team those first 3 weeks of the season and now have their full compliment of a varsity team (4 varsity players before, 14 now). Three of Silsbee's top 5 scorers (1. Elam, 2. Holmes, 4. Reed) were still playing football and 4 of the first 5 off the bench(Jackson, Barnes, Brydson, Scott) were still in football those first 3 weeks. Personnel wise, Silsbee is no where near the team they were those first 3 weeks than what they are now. You cannot make that claim with Central. Silsbee has grown much more as a team than Central. That is a fact, not opinion. [/quote] Nope it's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But, there are some who believe the Jags have grown more as a team and it's their opinion.

[/quote] You are aware that Kountze have already beaten Silsbee by 20 already, right? [/quote] and we all know that was 3/4 Silsbee JV team at that time. Only 4 (just 2 starters) of the current 14 varsity players were playing at that time. But, that team was good enough to beat Central the week before. ;) [/quote]...and good enough to loose to a Baytown Lee team AFTER receiving the football boys back? 8) [/quote] Soulja, your basketball credibility is lacking if you are saying that Silsbee is the same team now as they were the first 3 weeks of the season. The Baytown Lee loss was a bad loss for Silsbee even tough it was the first game with the football players with 1 practice under their belts and on the road. A couple of those football players did not even suit out for that game. Do I think Silsbee beats Kountze now? Yes. Do I think Silsbee beats Central now? I don't know but I like their chances. [b]I can assure you that based on what I have seen from watching Silsbee and Central early part of the season till now, Silsbee has improved much more as a team than what Central has done thus far.[/b] Does that equate in a Silsbee win over Central right now? No it doesn't. But then again, Central had no business losing to a Silsbee JV team neither. ;) [/quote] Since the Silsbee/Central game the Jags have lost three games, the Tigers have lost seven. Two of which to a good Nederland squad that Central has beaten once. You're making at bias statement as a fan of the Tigers but, the proof is in the pudding. Central has grown more as a team!

Having seen both, I have to say that Jordan Hunter has more facets to his game and is the better player at this stage.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1357331" timestamp="1356046226"] Silsbee has the best individual talent of anyone. When they get it to mesh together, it will be scary! [/quote] Ridiculous statement! Central has at least 4 legitimate DI players on their team. How many does Silsbee have?
