[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!

With so many young teams in the area, we may see more unexpected close games such as last night in the Lumberton/PAM game.

As you know, Dove, Nederland is young. Starting line up is: Senior Jr Jr Jr Soph Bench players: 3 Seniors 4 Jrs 1 Soph Good observation on your part (for once)-ha!  ;) Seems to be a lot of young teams in the area.

[quote name="RaiderGirl92" post="1122820" timestamp="1321673189"] Is Lumberton better this year than years before? [/quote] They didn't look very good last weekend when they scrimmaged Nederland. It wasn't pretty, so i'm very surprised this game went to OT.

Score?

Really?  ???

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1122296" timestamp="1321662176"] Should be a good game! [/quote] Not so sure. I think PNG will be rebuilding this year.

Good luck with that. I think it has been shown that there are more than just two good players for Nederland this year. When your best two players struggle and you still win by 20 points, that pretty much sums it up.

Without him bringing the ball up the court, we might lose that game on TOs and fast break points. Yes, he missed some shots that normally fall for him, but that happens. #21 is probably their best player, and i think he felt he had to do more than usual, and he tried to put everything on his shoulders. Yes, he did miss a lot of 3's, but apparently you haven't seen him or #10 play much. They both normally make a majority of their shots (wherever they are on the floor).

He'll still have to get better against quicker and faster teams for Nederland to be successful. [/quote]Okay forum, you're saying way too much.

I do know that they had two players who graduated last year who went on to play college BBall, and this year's team has a D1 commit to San Diego, another who has the physical tools to dominate (#50), and another who is highly ranked in the Greater Houston area (#4). Isn't that what you look for Dove, Individual talent? Also have some promising Freshmen on JV (including Sheryl Swoops son). Nederland's JV just a much better 'team'. I like what AAW said on another thread about one magazine ranking 'teams' vs the other who emphasizes players and individualism. I know which one i'm going to listen to regardless if 'Da Magazine' said that Nederland will sweep through district again. I don't think that's going to happen, but I would certainly welcome it (again). That's why we play the games. [/quote] #50 did nothing, but looked great coming off the bus. #4 did a little more than nothing. English and Weisbrod are pretty good, but not great...yet. St. Pius's 2 were shut down by Nederland's defense which left English and Weisbrod matched up against those 2 in the 1-2-2 defense they played. [/quote] I agree. #50 was intimidating, but did nothing. That's why i said he has the physical tools to be good. My other point is that #4 is highly ranked amongst PGs in Houston, and he did nothing against Ned. The few times he penetrated the zone, he was met by two 6'5 kids down low. 'Da Magazine' had St.Pius ranked 26 in the Houston area in 5A, 4A, 3A, and Private schools. They have Ned at 27 in the greater Houston area. They have never seen Ned play, but they have seen English and Weisbrod play. I think they must rank 'teams' according to individual talent from players they watch over the summer in the AAU world?? BTW-Can someone please figure out a way to put this on the Ned/St. Pius thread?  8)
