Honest Abe

Whoa! This conversation is waaaaay off topic, but I digress.

I heard he scored 51. Either way...wow!!

Half: LCM 20 Nederland 24

Let’s hope and pray he chooses UT!

My bad. I assumed CP and WB were in the same district in Bball too.

College Park Senior, Quinten Grimes made his decision tonight at CPHS. The #1 prospect in the state will play college (possibly only one year) at Kansas. If you have not seen this young man play, make sure you go see him and College park visits Westbrook this year.

He scored 21.

That post was a joke/jab towards Soulja. Hefner did not score all 25 points in the first half. I don’t know the stat line, but I can find out.

Final: Nederland 63 Kelly 50

Ned up 45-34 with 6:00 remaining in 4th

It’s a joke from a previous thread.

Half: Nederland 25 kelly 14 Soulja-Hefner is 10-10 from the field and has scored all 25 points.

End of 1st Q: Ned 11 Kelly 6

He is the 1st Freshman to start immediately, and this is the earliest (in a Bulldog Uniform), that anyone from Ned has been offered (multiple) scholarships heading into his Sophomore year. Weisbrod was moved up to Varsity during his Freshman year, but did not start. That was also the year Ned went 14-0 in district, so we were loaded that year.

I watched Oak Ridge play a couple of weeks ago. WB better bring their A game if they take home the dub.

On Monday morning of this week, Texas A&M made an offer to Nederland Sophomore Hayden Hefner. This is Hefner's 5th offer, others include: Incarnate Word Lamar University University of Houston Oklahoma University Texas A&M University I know his family well, and I have no doubt that he will continue to work hard and improve over the next 3 years! Congrats young man...

Too bad he and Weisbrod won't play together. That could have been special.

This game is also for seniors only, correct?

I wouldn't blame him if/when he leaves. He isn't being appreciated by NISD, IMO. However, I've heard nothing about him leaving yet...

Congrats to Nederland PG Darrell Jones on committing to John Brown University. With Zach English graduating this year, JBU signs another Nederland Grad!!

Watched a clip of PAMs last play of the game as the shot hit the front of the rim. Hard way to lose a game for sure. Was hoping someone from 22-5A would reach the regional tourney. This is the 1st year in a long time that we didn't have a team in the regional tourney (from our district).

I agree with both.

I don't believe that It's not as 'off topic' as you claim. I read numerous posts in this thread stating that it would be good for coach E to 'get a bump' (in pay) as he 'deserves' if Monte gets both titles. I think the remarks were to the effect of him having a master's degree. Not sure how much (if any) he receives for that accomplishment, but a reason to obtain such a degree (in education) is in hopes of an administrative type job. The AD is a type of admin job, especially based on the pay scale. A reliable source tells me he's not receiving $7.5k/year as a stipend. That same source also confirmed that he IS the lowest paid coach in 22-5A for certain. I'm being vocal about this bc I want coach E to stick around a bit longer for my youngest boy. I want him to have the same opportunities as did my oldest son.

I know it's true amongst 6A/5A/4A coaches, just didn't know/think it could be true for ALL classes. Either way, he deserves more, IMO.

Gotcha. I heard chatter that English is the lowest paid basketball coach in the area (regardless of classification). If true, that's a shame...My kid went through the bball program a few years back, and I know that Coach E. puts in more time with his kids than any bball coach in the area. Too bad there isn't more of a direct correlation with time/pay.
