[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1126678" timestamp="1321913069"] see what kind of arrogance I have been putting up with thse. years dogs. They really think they can beat the dogpound. Now you see it for yourselves. [/quote] Dove-There's nothing wrong with supporting and believing in your team.  :)

[quote name="PoppaBearstarr" post="1126416" timestamp="1321899747"] Cant wait to see him in the HJ Central game... [/quote] When is that game? Would like to see that game!

[quote name="stevenash" post="1126548" timestamp="1321906595"] Does that mean we lose by less than 20 or more than 20?  If that teams players are out running around time this close to game time, it is obvious they are quite confident of the outcome.  I just hope HJ can make a decent showing. [/quote] Nash-You and I know this will not be a 15-20 point victory for either team. Stop trying to get the HJ players fired up so much.  ;) BTW-The results of this poll show that people are split to the outcome of this game (as i predicted).  8)

Its highway 365 out of Nederland and then turns into 326 I believe. Rebounding and turnovers are the key to this one. I think Ned has a small edge in both and wins by 5. [/quote]rebounding [/quote] OK Dove- I know how much pride you take in your "predictions"-  Go ahead and project the rebounding advantage for Nederland that you keep mentioning. [/quote]I predict Prudomme will get in foul trouble ;) I can't stand Nederland. I wish it the other way around. Nederland and their fan's egos have gotten a bit too large :o [/quote] Don't be hatin' Dove. You have to realize that we've been excited because we've not been very good at basketball over the past...ummm 55 years or so. Kinda like how Lumberton had a good football team a few years ago, and Vidor in FB this year.

Hey Nash-How do we get that valet parking at HJ that you were talking about the other day?

[quote name="TheRef" post="1126069" timestamp="1321846406"] HJ by 15 [/quote] This game will be closer than that. HJ may win, but it won't be by 15.

Kelton Gaines and a reserve. [/quote] The two players waiting to play (sitting out their required UIL time), one is a soph., other a junior. Silsbee only has two seniors on varsity this season. [/quote] AAW-How long does a kid have to sit out before they can play Varsity ball?

I have an idea whose going to win this one. I'll save my comments for Monday afternoon. Don't want to tip off coaches ;D :o [/quote] No need to wait Dove - you know you are going to pick HJ to win.  This way if you are right you look like Jimmy the Greek and can rub it Nederland's face that they lost but if you're wrong you can still fall back on the fact that HJ plays a weak schedule and is overrated. [/quote] Okay, actually I'm picking Nederland to win this one. They will control the boards and the inside.  ;) [/quote] On that small chance that the Hawks pull this one out, I am saving this post so it can't be modified after the fact. [/quote]Oh wait a minute!!!!      [color=black][size=24pt] Nederland [/color][size=24pt]Will Beat[color=red] HJ[/size] [/quote] Now thats better.  And don't worry about anyone challenging you on your predictions as I will be keeping an official "scoreboard".  Additionally, [b]if[/b] [b]HJ pulls off the upset[/b], you will not be able to say you were referring to any game other than the one being played Monday, Nov 20 at the HJ gym between Nederland and HJ. [/quote] Nash-How would it be considered an upset? Just because Dove predicts Ned to win? You have disappointed me.  ;)

[quote name="Pfrezzi" post="1125701" timestamp="1321822684"] However, I can't confirm that since it is just a rumor [/quote] Don't think rumors are permitted on this forum. Remember, these are kids we are talking about here.  :)

[/quote]PAM lost to Ridge Point ....new school...sophs and juniors.  :-X [/quote] PAM also lost to Ned in a preseason tourney, and we all know how weak Ned is this year.  ::)

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1125561" timestamp="1321815805"] Also, let it be known that I'd prefer HJ. I just don't think HJ has the arsenal to beat Nederland. They will be tough on the boards. [/quote] I think you're trying to motivate those Hawks, Dove. We all know that HJ has the 'Arsenal' to beat Nederland or they would not be ranked ahead of Nederland in 'The Dirty Dozen'. I'm obviously pulling for Nederland, but i believe these teams are evenly matched. It will be a great experience for both teams to play in a semi-high pressured game this early in the season in preperation for the remainder of their seasons.

Where are all the senior players in the area? [/quote] My whole point to this thread. [/quote] I realize that. I just figured that there was ONE team in the area with a large number of Seniors.

[quote name="BH eagle 99" post="1124292" timestamp="1321738037"] I don't feel so bad about losing to ozen anymore [/quote] One of the best 4th place teams i've ever seen. Must be a strong district!  ::)

[quote name="PNGFan" post="1124338" timestamp="1321738405"] I'm just picking with Brenhamfan.  He is a true football fan. [/quote] Oh, ok.  8)

[quote name="wasone03" post="1124309" timestamp="1321738214"] Could this be a state-bound team? [/quote] Need to get that offense clicking a little better and reduce the TOs. Want to see that same offense we showed when we played Ozen.

[quote name="PNGFan" post="1124250" timestamp="1321737745"] What about Brenham and there big D1 athletes BrenhamFan likes to brag about????? [/quote] Come on man! Everyone hypes up their star players. BrenhamFan is no different than you and me, and he has already come on here with a congrats to Ozen and requesting his crow! He's a good sport.

Kimler is a stud!

[quote name="DP#1FAN" post="1123725" timestamp="1321727470"] Nice post Honest Abe [/quote] :)

That's just crazy! Where are all the senior players in the area?

Great matchup on Monday night as Nederland travels to Sour Lake to take on the Hawks from Hardin Jefferson. HJ has the traditionally strong basketball history, and they look to get revenge on the Dogs who beat them in a close game last season. The Hawks have two strong players returning with Prudhomme and Bosha. Meanwhile, Nederland is looking to establish themselves amongst the best in the area after back-to-back District Championships. Nederland's only returning letterman are underclassmen, English (Jr) and Weisbrod (Soph). Both teams made the Regional Tourney in 3A and 4A respectively last season. This will be a statement game as both teams are expected to do well this season. Good Luck to both Teams!
