Honest Abe

[quote name="PoppaBearstarr" post="1156537" timestamp="1326082191"] There's just something about this rivalry that is special...the atmosphere is electric....I have never been to any other indoor sporting event where the fans are so passionate....I literally look forward to this game every year..I just wish it could be played in a large enough gym that everyone who wanted to see the game could..it is truly something you will never forget..as ST413 said I love watching these two teams get after each other....good luck to my Hawks..Although our student section has all but gone away, there are plenty of other fans to take their place.. [/quote] Sounds about as intense as MCM! May skip the Ned/Lumberton game and drive up to Silsbee instead.

Interesting week: Tuesday #2 vs. #2 Friday #1 @ #4

[/quote]Plus, Hightower been winning since their football players are through playing now. :D [/quote] Ya Dove, every team Nederland has beaten this year gets better later in the season for this reason or that reason!  ::) It just kills you to give them credit, doesn't it?  ??? Oh well, I find it amusing!  ;D ;D Oh ya, Nederland wins this one regardless if Central suits out 5 players or 15. Last I checked, only 5 play at one time.  8)

[quote name="ballin4life" post="1156354" timestamp="1326064522"] if central pressure Ned. they win [/quote] I hope they do. Ned can handle their press which will lead to easy buckets.

I would have to say in [s]2012 when HJ swept the series en route to an undefeated season and a trip to Austin. [/s] Oh wait! That hasn't happened yet.  ;D ;D ;D

Heck of a come back! Great win Tigers!!

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1156000" timestamp="1325965746"] C.O. Wilson = grad to Nederland as well as their parents ooops. off topic [/quote] Ned always has a big crowd from 7th-12th grades. Back on topic though. Sounds like Vidor played a decent 2nd half? I would have figured Ozen would have outscored Vidor more than 1point in the 3rd, and 5 points in the 4th.

If Nederland gets hot from 3-land, they win big. If not, then they lose in a close one like they did in their 1st meeting. The two reasons Ned lost the 1st meeting was missed 3s and not blocking out. Central had lots of offensive rebounds which led to easy put backs. Blocking out has improved since then, just need to keep doing it.

[/quote] ???  ???  ??? [/quote] Wrong thread. Last I checked, this was a Vidor Ozen thread.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1155952" timestamp="1325958032"] Memorial has a losing record 2 quality wins and Central isn't better than Nederland or Silsbee. Silsbee,s schedule is harder than any team in the Golden Triangle. [/quote] Last I checked, Central beat Nederland by 4(or5) in the Ned Tourney. They have similar resumes with wins and losses. I would say Ned, Silsbee, and Central are about even.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1155919" timestamp="1325952949"] We've split a two game series vs. Pa Memorial...  Both games went into ot. [/quote] Missed that one. I'll correct it.

[quote name="stevenash" post="1155906" timestamp="1325950703"] Kingwood Park played in the HJ tourney.  Very sound and athletic.  I was told they are the team that has eliminated Ozen in the playoffs the past 3 years. [/quote] I know last year they beat Ozen by one in OT to make it to the Regional Tourney where they lost to State Finalist Lamarque by 9. 

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1155899" timestamp="1325949527"] The key here is common oponents.  You guys beat Hightower whereas we lost to them twice, one of those losses were double digits.  Maybe not a cause for concern i guess since it happened earlier in the season. [/quote] No doubt, we had a good showing at the YMBL and beat HT. Ned was playing good team ball at that time. I am sure all 3 teams have improved since November. Should be an even matchup if you want to look at common opponents: Ned beat HT, central lost to HT twice. Central went 1-1 against WB, Ned lost to WB. Ned beat PA Memorial twice, Central split with PAM. Either way you slice it, should be a really good game. I believe Ned has won the last 5 district meetings between these two??

Either way, both of these teams sound strong. Both teams lost a few keys players from last year, but sounds like they both have reloaded. Humble lost a couple of guards, but still have the 6'7" kid. KP lost most of their team, but appareantly they have a deep program. Gonna make a short trip to see them both play soon to get an idea of a possible playoff matchup.

[quote name="vp32" post="1155889" timestamp="1325948699"] [quote author=BLUEDOVE3 link=topic=93876.msg1155837#msg1155837 date=1325914003] :-X [/quote] ??? [/quote] I agree.  ??? When has BD3 ever been speechless?

The loss to Central earlier in the season will motivate the Dawgs to come out and play team ball. They seemed a bit intimidated the last time these two teams played. Also, I believe they were disappointed from losing to WB and not advancing in the winner's bracket as they did in the YMBL. The crowd at the Doggie Dome will play a huge factor in the game. Ned needs to jump on the Jags early and take a strong lead. According to Soulja, Central doesn't make enough in-game adjustments when trailing. On the other hand, if Nederland falls behind, I believe Coach E will make the appropriate adjustments to guide Ned to the W! Dawgs 54 Jags 51

The Central Jags (12-7, 3-0) travel South Tuesday to battle Nederland (18-5, 3-0) in The Dawg Dome for 1st place. Who ya got?

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1155766" timestamp="1325907436"] Again, the game was never in doubt!!!  Great job Dogs.....[b]Now get ready for Tuesday.[/b] [/quote] Speaking of Tuesday, let's talk about it on a new thread!

[quote name="85' HUSKER" post="1155752" timestamp="1325906083"] WOW! If LCM is truly a playoff team, than there appears to be quite a gap between #1 and #4 or #2 and #4 in 20-4a. [/quote] Still early in district play, and maybe LCM had a really bad game?? Wasn't there, just speculating. There usually is a big difference in the 1st place team and the 4th place team, unless the district is really strong. PNG was a strong 4th place team last year. It was evident when they nearly pulled off an upset against Crosby.

Dawgs 54 Lions 32 2 min remain

Half: Nederland 28 Livingston 18

At home, Nederland takes care of business: Dawgs 61 Lions 52 Next month AT Livingston will be much closer.

I'm sure you'll finish closer to 110 by the end of the year. When you have a chance to announce the Tigers in Austin will see at least 8 teams you haven't seen this year. [/quote] That's not true, because he has already watched Nederland play a few games!  ;D ;D ;D [/quote] BS said you will get to see at least 8 more teams at state ( i guess that's what he meant) if u broadcast a Silsbee game at state. I said that's not true, b/c Nederland will be at state, and you have already seen them play a 5-6 games. What's not true? ??? [/quote] [/quote] Well truth is, I'll be at the state tourney regardless of if any local team will be there. So it's very possible I will be watching as many as 24 new teams that I have not seen this year. I'll be making my 41st straight state tourney in March. [/quote] Let's hope at least one team from our area makes it to the state tourney. BTW-I'll be there too. On a side note, I just saw where Humble beat North Shore over the Christmas break. Humble gonna be tough to beat this year.
