[/quote] I can't stand St.Pius. Kick their butts Kelly. [/quote]Another team on your 'hate list'. What did they do that U dislike them?

Should be a really good game. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Kelly beat St. Pius a few weeks ago. St. Pius has good individual talent, but Kelly has been better than expected this year. I like Kelly at home by 6.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1362250" timestamp="1357769078"] So, yall saying if Ozen (happens to) win, it will be an upset? Hold on a minute, let me make sure I'm not on the football forum before I post this. [/quote]I don't think either team should be expected to win or 'favored' to win. They are evenly matched, and I think home court will make a difference. These teams each won their game at home in district last year, and I would not be surprised if the same happens this year. Over the past 3 seasons, these two teams have played 8 times. Ned won 5 of those games, so I'm uncertain of your reference to the FB forum?

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1362239" timestamp="1357766462"] (14.3%)Nederland (85.7% Ozen Voting Results as of 3:30 p.m. [/quote]I think you have that backwards. We would rather be the Under'Dawgs' though!

Nash brings up some good points (again). He's used this analogy a few times in which i haven't heard a strong rebuttal against. I have yet to see anyone 'stop' Weisbrod. Some have slowed him down, but he's going to score. He's averaging 20.2 ppg. PNG held him to 5 first half points by packing in their zone. The result: English made 5/8 3s, Kimler added 2, and four others made 1 each. He ended the game with 15. His season low was 10 against Cy-Ridge, a game where English did not play bc of his ankle. I watched 3-6'6" kids triple team Colton this summer in an AAU game, and he scored the game winning shot. He probably should have passed the ball to an open player, but fortunately it went in. I don't recall Ozen having any Bigs who play much or who can 'stop' him. Maybe someone can correct me on that fact.

Since we BOTH perform Voodoo, then it will cancel out! ;)

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1362102" timestamp="1357747968"] Ozen's only hope is if they have a  kid on their roster that  has the size and strength to check Weisbrod.  I think the transition game will also be key as well.  They'll need to force turnovers to make this happen. [/quote]Good analysis! I couldn't agree more...
