No Timouts being called or nothing. We expect a dep playoff run and we're not even competing with a 3a school. I know H-J is good, but geesh, show some fire and urgency. Lets see what we'll do in the second half. [/quote] A 3-A school. Sorry, but Central should be ashamed! [/quote]You have to look at the team and not the classification....There's 1A schools out there that can beat a lot of 3A's......but Dove, I cant help but think nash is behind this some how... [/quote]Put it this way, those Hj players can play with any 4 or 5a school in this area. They are well coached. Those kids stay within the game. i watched all three games and Hj and Silsbee has good sound coaches. Two 3a teams that can compete with any 4a or 5a  team in this area. [/quote] I think Ozen and PAM full throttle will be hard to beat IMO [/quote]I think PAM is the closest team in this area that can compete with HJ. HJ will win their district. [/quote] Not sold on PAM, why are you? Lumberton took them to OT last week. I know it's early, but that can't be very encouraging for them. Unless Lumberton's transfers are that good?

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1129884" timestamp="1322262555"] H-J - 39 Central - 25 Halftime With a heave up 3 at the halftime buzzer by # 12 from H-J.  When you're in a pickle and need plays called , we have staff members sitting on the bench with them head in their hands.  No excuses this year.  At he rate we're going, we'll get ran out the gym. And it seems that 'they' are ok with it.  Lets see if any halftme adjustments are made. [/quote] They r just that good, IMO.

Whoa!

After an impressive showing Monday night, I'll take HJ: HJ 63 Central 55

Sometimes u just gotta bite ur tongue. I'm proud of you, Dove! ;) [quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1128185" timestamp="1322059577"] [quote author=5gallonbucket link=topic=92086.msg1128126#msg1128126 date=1322056005] Whats there to explain?  Its self explanatory.  This happens at alot of schools across the nation.  Parents send their kids to schools that are gonna be more helpful in allowing them to be seen by college coaches (athletic reasons).  HF....no basketball history OZEN.....state championship....long playoff runs....sends players to colleges/nba Come on be honest.....What looks more inviting? [/quote]Okay! Let me get something straight right now and clear some things up. And this may not come out sounding cool to some of you. [Edited} LOL! wHEW! Amazing! I deleted several points I was going to make. LOL! oops! I deleted again. No matter how I type it, just isn't coming out right. [/quote]

[/quote] HF has some talent. They are better than I expected, but Nederland looked much better than last night. HJ will beat them by as many as they want though if they played tomorrow.

Ned 72 HF 44 Final

Ned 52 Hf 35 End of 3rd Q

Ned 43 HF 20 Halftime

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1127357" timestamp="1321976628"] I thought he was pretty good on the block last year complimenting Nederland's senior bigs.  I agree.  The kid is 6'4" ish with size.  He should remain on the block untill he proves he can consistantanly be a threat to hit the mid range jumper or the 3 ball. [/quote] I'm not a big fan of him shooting a lot of 3s either, but he hit 7 3s against Kingwood a few weeks ago when they beat them in Houston. It's only the 2nd game of the season though. They'll improve. Two years ago, when they won district for the 1st time, they started the season 3-9! HJ beat them early that year as well by 20+. Again, i predicted last month that they will struggle early on (because they are young and inexperienced), then they will get it together in time for district.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1127175" timestamp="1321938410"] Scrappy??  You got that right.  [b]One of the most physical teams[/b] I have seen in a long time.  Hope #40 and #20 are alright for Big Ned!!!! [/quote] I don't think that has EVER been said about a Nederland basketball team, but i agree with you. Ned has always had passive teams/players. However, they seemed to play with a different mentality tonight. Maybe it was the atmosphere and level of competition??

If I could bet on them, I would. Ned will be fine. They just need to work some things out. [/quote] Way too early for that kind of talk - lets just try & get through district first. [/quote] Well I have not seen them play in a while so that is just my first impression. Obviously I was very impressed. Congratz on the victory HJ. You were definitely the better team tonight.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1126917" timestamp="1321926948"] HJ 22 Nederland 17 with 5:06 left in half Where you at Honest Abe???  Come introduce yourself!!! [/quote] Just now seeing this post. Well I got to meet you afterth e game anyway.
