  1. [quote name="5 on 5" post="1380108" timestamp="1361930652"] Very slow game. LOTS of missed shots by Ned [/quote]Ned missed 4 or 5 shots under the basket in the 1st half. Ball just wouldn't drop. Also, Ned struggled at the line. We started 2/9 and finished 6/13 for the entire game. Our season average is over 72%. Hate to see these kids end their season on a game like this.
  2. Tough way to end a season when you lead the entire game and give it away at the end. Great season guys, proud of all of you. We will miss you Seniors. Thanks for the memories, and good luck to you in the future. For those of you coming back, remember this feeling, and don't let it happen next year. Will be a lot of new faces on the team next year.
  3. Thanks for updating for me Phatmack. Muchly appreciated.
  4. I will provide updates unless Phatmack will be there to do so.
  5. [quote name="DOGS1988" post="1379194" timestamp="1361800943"] Can't wait for this game!  Does anyone know if Magnolia's gym has chair seats or bench?  I'll bring my bulldog seat just in case  ;) GO DOGS!!!! [/quote]I think they have bench seating, so bring your seat back chair. Will be the last time this year that we will need them. ;)
  6. Trust me, I'm the last guy who wants to give everyone a blue ribbon. I think 4 is too many. When I was in school, only 2 went. Back then, WOS won district/state in FB nearly every year and Lincoln did the same in Bball. That meant only one other district teams plays in post season. There was always at least one good team left out. I support 3 teams advancing.

Did I read that correctly? OMG!! [/quote] If that happens they may as well play UIL games at the local YMCA's! They already allow way too many teams in the playoffs, and we all know who they did that for.... ::) ::) [/quote]Who would that be DV?

  9. [quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1379516" timestamp="1361884493"] [quote author=BIG SHOW link=topic=109680.msg1379318#msg1379318 date=1361825712] It's funny to read some of the comments on here about Centrals head coach!  I can remember very clearly at the Nederland Vs Central game the announcer introducing coach Lee as the Legend!  Now they want to fire him?  LMAO [/quote] No Central fan pays attention  to that announcer.  He's clown and he's wrong for that.  Lol [/quote]I thought he was rather entertaining. Very energetic and passionate. However, I can see how it would be annoying after a while. I noticed many Central people NOT participating along with him. 8)
  10. [quote name="BADSANTA" post="1379392" timestamp="1361838346"] I hope Kountze, HJ, Evadale, Jasper, and Beaumont come out to support. We need the Tiger side to be standing room only. [/quote]The gym at SHSU holds over 6k people. I doubt it will be at capacity! ;)
  11. [quote name="chocky" post="1378893" timestamp="1361707985"] Crosby vs PNG final score was 39 to 30 go Panthers [/quote]Don't forget that the score in the 1st game between OZEN and PNG was 47-44. ;)
  12. [quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1378968" timestamp="1361731685"] Abe, can I ask you a serious question? What do you think that Brian English would have done with THAT bunch at Central? [/quote]That's a hard question. That's a lot of talent to coach! ;D Don't know if Coach E would implement his style of play/coaching or play a more up tempo style. His record shows that he can do more with less, and suggests that Central would still be playing if he were their coach. I didn't see the game (obviously), so it's hard to say what would have happened in THAT game. He may have done a better job at adjusting (during the game) to the matchup against a team like Georgetown. Sometimes though, the coach can put his players in the right position, but kids gotta execute that plan. What do you think?
  13. [quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1378933" timestamp="1361726660"] Not once did I get on coaching or .  Our kids had a great season.  I would have liked to go further, but sometimes, that's  how the cookie crumbles.  Since we basically return EVERYONE, our coaching staff will get more chances with this talented group.  I'm patient enough to see this.  Actually, this year, my realistic predictions of the season was NOT to make it to state.  It was others that made rash state championship appearance comments... [/quote]I noticed that you were not one of those wanting him fired. You have given him props when he deserved them, and you have been consistent with that (this year)! ;) Jags had a much better season than MOST expected. The future is bright for da young Jags!! 8)
  14. [quote/] How many will survive to the next round? (of course we will lose at least one with the Crosby/Ozen game) [/quote] I like Nederland's chances against Georgetown. It concerns me that they beat Central Tuesday night. A team we could not beat in 3 games. From what I hear, we match up well against them. I don't know if we have lost a game this year who plays a slow tempo other than HCYA. HCYA beat us by 2, in a game we should have won by 10. We were ice cold in that game. The Ozen/Crosby game should be a fun game to watch. Both quick and athletic teams, but I think Ozen's D will prevail in the end. I think we all agree that Silsbee will have the biggest challenge advancing. Tigers need to do better shooting FTs. They also need to limit TOs, block out for rebounding, and STAY OUT OF FOUL TROUBLE!!!! Sorry for yelling, but I've noticed the Tigers seem to have a few players with 4 fouls just about every game.
  15. Seems like these two teams are very similar in style. Should be an evenly matched game. Coaching could be the difference.
  16. [quote name="sasquare" post="1378883" timestamp="1361686366"] Many of you all have forgotten, that Silsbee has always been a top competitor. We battled Port Arthur Lincoln and Baycity  every year when we were 4aaaa. we consistently ranked in the top ten and made it to Austin several times along with going to regionals so many times can't count. Port Arthur Lincoln had talent like Yates every year. [/quote]True that Lincoln and Sislbee didn't have move-ins back then, but neither did the competition from Houston. 20 years ago, teams simply suited up the kids who lived in their districts (the way it was intended to be)! All recruiting was left up to colleges ONLY!!
  17. It's all about match ups, and Nederland matches up well, IMO (much better than against Central). At this point, all teams are good, but all teams are beatable.
  18. [quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1378597" timestamp="1361639927"] [quote author=Honest Abe link=topic=109737.msg1378596#msg1378596 date=1361639893] Anyone know if Crosby won last night? [/quote] They play today at 5pm. [/quote]Gotcha, thanks!!
  19. Anyone know if Crosby won last night?

On the offensive end,[b] there were not many plays that were run[/b], but Central made their shots by creating them (for the most part). What wasn't done by the coach that should have been done? What did he do differently in this game that he didn't do in those 27/28 wins? [/quote] You made my point for me. They don't run any set plays just a go one-on-one park ball offense. They have no offensive system or rythm whatsoever. Put that talent into a system and develop that talent and the sky is the limit. Otherwise they'll lose in the second round year after year after year to inferior teams. [/quote]Again, there was nobody complaining about the lack of plays being run when Central dominated Nederland 2 weeks ago. Why is it now an issue? I'm not defending him, I'm just curious.

  22. Dawgs may play at Magnolia West Tuesday against Georgetown. Not a done deal yet.
  23. [quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1378530" timestamp="1361626252"] Congrats on the big win, Big Ned.  Keep it going for 20-4a! [/quote]What can you tell us about Georgetown? They big? Quick? Patient? Aggressive? Sounds like they played a slow paced game.
