[quote name="freeze 1914" post="1378527" timestamp="1361625929"] Why blame the coach? He was not out there turning the ball over. If you're going to blame the coach you have to blame him for winning a district title as well. It just wasn't Central's night. They got out played by a very well coached team. They stuck to their game plan and that was to slow Central down and it worked. [/quote]True! If you blame him for the loss, them you MUST give him credit for going 13-1 in district! I didn't hear ONE word about his coaching flaws until last night.

[quote name="Who By Fire" post="1378480" timestamp="1361598500"] How many times has the youth of the team been discussed on this forum?  I think they have done a great job this year, especially with young age of the team.  Tonight's issue was missed shots, and turnovers, and just like they couldn't miss Tuesday night, tonight they couldn't hit.  How many of you could play in an area game, as 14 year olds, and not be just a little nervous???  Get off their case.  We should be praising them for the season they had. [/quote]The youth of this team has not been seen for most of the season. Central played like upperclassmen throughout district. Playoffs are different, but they still had a great season. Other than Stevens, they all return next year, and they will be hungry! Impressive season Jags!!

Dawgs up 26-16 with 2:36 remaining jn half.

Nederland vs Central in the reg. qtr. finals in the Montagne Center [/quote]Or will the Central & Nederland coaches haggle over another neutral site?  :D [/quote]Possibly! ;) Both gotta win tonight though!!

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1377950" timestamp="1361557540"] Yates has a team full of recruits and a bully for a coach! Wise thinks he owns Houston. Yates isn't the best school in Houston. FB Bush, FB Travis, Seven Lakes, and North Shore are better without recruits every year! [/quote]Here's the difference: Those schools you named are NOT in Houston. They are in the suburbs. Do you live in Houston? No. You live in Cypress.

Dove-What do you know about Elgin?

Which 20-4A team has the toughest matchup tonight? Ned Vs. Manor Central Vs. Georgetown Ozen Vs. Elgin

[quote name="Stephen A Smith" post="1377604" timestamp="1361502145"] Silsbee will compete against them WOS will get blowed HJ will an did get blowed Ill be surprised if Silsbee wins heck I'm SHOCKED if WOS wins Tomorrow [/quote]I agree. Silsbee WILL compete, but so did HJ for 3Qs. Anything can happen, and I'll be ecstatic if Silsbee or WOS upsets them. WOS has a tough game tomorrow, but they should bring home the W.

Im shocked HJ kept it as close as they did without a key player. WO-S or Silsbee might just beat them i agree with others. I thought it was gonna be a pure blowout [/quote] Since when is winning by 28 a bad thing? You can't make losing, winning... SMH about a 28 point (loss) moral victory. [/quote]Yates will not win state.  8) Take that to the Bank. [/quote]And...who will beat this small college? A 28 point victory over a solid HJ team is impressive! Yates could probably win the SLC. Dallas Madison has the best chance at beating them, and they won't meet until the state finals.

Come on HJ! Hang in there!!

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1377366" timestamp="1361480634"] Yates is a public school that plays national competition. This teams gets a lot of exposure from the national media. pLUS, the kids want to play against the best. To play the best, most kids would have to attend an  expensive east coast prep school. JY is the closest thing in this area to a prep school. That in itself is the drawing card for JY in its present form. The players adhere to the rules. They transfer, play a season of JV if they come from another district. [/quote]If they receive special treatment, then maybe they should be in the same division/conference as a team like The Village. Other schools who compete on the same level so not have those advantages and we want to be 'fair', right BD3?

[/quote] One could claim that. I spoke with a person last night who is close to the Yates program and he was quite forward with an answer to a question I had for him. I asked how many of the current Yates varsity players came up through the Yates feeder middle schools. He said of the 15 on varsity, only 6. I do not know how HISD works as far as middle schools and where those kids move on to high schools. [/quote]That confirms my accusation/suspicion that i made earlier that over 1/2 of their team is from other zones including towns/states/countries/continents.

Nederland will play their area round playoff game Friday night against Manor. Game will be played at College Park High School in The Woodlands, TX. Tipoff at 7:30!

They were not very competitive until their FB season ended. They lost to district champs Elgin only 10 points.

Nederland Vs. Manor at College Park High school in The Woodlands, TX Friday 7:30 tip

Doesn't make sense as to why Central would play zone against KW Park. If they did play zone, Absent is right 3-2 Vs 2-3 since they didn't have bigs. Box in 1 is usually reserved for teams who have ONE dominant player.

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1376352" timestamp="1361334408"] Ned won this game at the free throw line! Would like to see the box score [/quote]we shot 72% (24/33) from the FT line. English made 12/13. We are shooting 73% for the season. We usually dont shoot 33 FTs in one game. Season avg: 16 We also made 50% of our 3s (7/14). We are shooting 30% from 3-land for the season. Jamiere Rogers had a career night shooting 5/6 from the field and 2/2 at the charity stripe AND he grabbed 8 boards and added 3 assists! He definitely came to play last night!! Great team win which is what will help us to continue to advance. Now let's get ready to whip up on Manor!!
