[quote name="CoachKfan" post="976591" timestamp="1299178337"] Perhaps I should have said they are one of the top PROGRAMS in the area if not THE top (program).  Hats off to the teams that have beaten them THIS year.  They are all some very good teams.  My point is that you can not say that HJ is not one of the elite programs in the area.....and this year, once again, one of the elite teams.    [/quote] No doubt about being one of the top teams in the area this yr, and in yrs past...

[/quote] HJ is having a great season, no doubt. THE top team in the area...come on! Silsbee beat them twice, Nederland, Central, and LC-M(?) also beat them. They are a solid team, but not better than Silsbee or Nederland (regardless the fact that Silsbee is already out-they beat them twice!) [/quote] Abe, you are probably right but I am betting  they are more improved over the past 3 weeks than anyone else in this area. [/quote] I'm NOT going to argue with that! After their win last night, I'm on board...Unlike AAW and Soulja NOT being on board w/Nederland. Come on guys...what's it going to take???

[quote name="tappedout" post="976491" timestamp="1299171826"] Ball's pressure defense will be the difference in this one. Nederland struggles with pressure and they will see a whole lot of it against Ball. I hope I am wrong and Nederland pull's it out. Either way it has been a great run for NHS. [/quote] Humble pressured Nederland all night, and they did just fine. This continue's to be a 'non-issue' in games when teams put pressure on Nederland. Bring something else...

Nederland won last night by hitting their FTs late in the game-as I predicted. They'll do it again against Ball.

[/quote]They made them when they played LM [/quote] [color=navy][b] Ball's FT% is 66.6% over 36 games[/b][/color] [/quote] As a team, that is exceptional for HS.

[quote name="NHS83LU87" post="976356" timestamp="1299166969"] Good teams find ways to win even when it's ugly...Nederland has been able to do that....Our district was better than what people have given it credit forr based on Ozen and Nederland's performance.  At this point anyone can take state but you can't have an off game. [/quote] That's where U need a deep bench-and as U mentioned on the other thread, Nederland has lots of players who come in and spark the game from the bench.

Ya-maybe I should have said the most talented INDIVIDUALS on a team do not always win the game. *See LeBron James Rings (or lack of)*

[quote name="badndn" post="976219" timestamp="1299161232"] Ball by 10. Someone mentioned Forney containing Balls bigs!!! ::) He will be in foul trouble early. [/quote] You don't have a clue about what you are talking about! Forney has not fouled out of a game ALL season, and Kelvin Smith has only fouled out once (against Huntsville). Even if ONE of them does foul out, you forgot about our Freshman, Weisbrod, who can fill in for either one of them!!!

At this point, ANY of the 16 teams can win state. Takes a lot of good and a lot of luck to bring home the trophy. Nederland has been the underdog most of the yr. They've surprised (just about) everyone! The most talented team does not always win! *See Duke Nat'l Champs over UNLV in 1991?*

AAW-Are U finally a believer??? U shouldn't have picked against my Dawgs! ;) not too late to get on the band wagon!!

[quote name="Scooter!" post="975866" timestamp="1299119856"] I cant believe i told one of my friends today Ned will play Ball next. i was worried all day bout what i said.  :D [/quote] I was worried too Scooter!

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="975925" timestamp="1299120889"] Them 'dogs, them dogs, them dogs.  What can I say?  I'm SOO impressed with the Never give up Dogs.   They REFUSED to go away.  Now this team from 20-4a is advancing to the regionals against a team they have played and hung with earlier in the season.  Bulldog nation is going bananas!  I LOVE IT! Major congrads from this Jag fan! [/quote] Can't believe upicked them to lose Soulja-U disappointed me ;)

[/quote] Forney isn't even close to being the best player on Nederland. There is another big guy for Ned that's better then him and several PG or PF that are better. [/quote] The kid from Nederland is named Kelvin Smith.

[quote name="dogs1218" post="974363" timestamp="1298952288"] We could give suggestions on this thread, then a moderator compile it all and give a list? Just a thought since we dont have a list yet.. 3 kids from Nederland that could start for any team in SETX 1) Kelvin Smith 2) Chris Cunningham 3) Dionte Forney [/quote] Forney is not a top player. Maybe last year, but not this year.

But other than that the list is very good!!!  I disagree with the order of some, but nonetheless good names!!!! [/quote] No. The best player in SE TX is Kelvin Smith from Nederland.
