[quote name="BEARCAT" post="1326750" timestamp="1352586019"] How did English and weisbrod do? [/quote]They both played well in the 1st 2 scrimmages. Only played about 1/2 of scrimmage against Sterling, as did all of the starters. J. Lormier, D. Franks, and J. Rogers also had a good day.

Final scrimmage: Ned 28 Sterling 30

Eisenhower over Sterling 22-19.

Also, Sterling over Clear Creek by 14. Not sure of score.

22 min running clock. First scrimmage: Ned 28 Eisenhower 17 2nd scrimmage: Ned 29 Clear Creek 19

Being played at Baytown Sterling HS today. Correction: Clear Creek, not Clear Lake

[quote name="bronco pride" post="1326373" timestamp="1352566672"] At this point im picking dayton just because its my team. If I didnt live in dayton and support this team theres no way I could pick them to beat ned. Alot stuff has been happening this year that leads me to believe some of the kids on this team have no respect for our coaches and are above the team. Dayton has an excellent group of sophmores and freshman that need good leadership. I think dayton started 6 sophmores on offense last night and I was good with that. Its probably to late for this year but our coaches [b]need to let these kids know they are not entitled to anything you have to earn it[/b]. Im still steaming about what transpired last night and im not talking about the sc beat down dayton received. [/quote]Unfortunately, our society has become an entitlement nation. It starts from above, and it trickles down to the kids. Not from Dayton, So I do not know the situation, but I am speaking for kids everywhere. I think it started when "everyone gets a ribbon "but that is a whole other topic isn't it? However, it does coincide with what you are saying.

[quote name="BigRed42" post="1326356" timestamp="1352565659"] The 2012 Bracket Challenge will officially be up and running at some point tomorrow! I have to wait until some games are played today and all playoff spots are set in stone, but for the most part most of the spots are good to go. There will be a 5A Division I & II, 4A Division I & II, and 3A Division I & II. If you are interested in participating, you must have your brackets filled out by November 15 at 5 PM. You are more than welcome to participate in one category or all categories! [/quote]Who won the Elimination Challenge?

[quote name="85' HUSKER" post="1324848" timestamp="1352501323"] Watch out for those NDNS. I think they will be a sleeper for that 4th spot. [/quote]I agree. They have as good of a chance as LCM or Livingston for the 4th spot.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1324868" timestamp="1352502720"] Hmmm? Central will go undefeated in the district, at least according to some of their people. [/quote]Not saying they won't win district, but they will lose at least one to either Ozen or Ned.

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1324831" timestamp="1352500503"] Yes the 20 4A race will be FUN and even tighter this year than last. [/quote]If you remember, there was a 3 way tie for first until Ozen lost at Livingston towards the end of district. I think it was the 2nd or 3rd to last district game. Could easily have been a 3 way tie for 1st. I expect this year to be as tight.

Very impressive start to his college career. I am not at all surprised by his early success. MCC is fortunate to have a player like Shawn, IMO.

[quote name="BEARCAT" post="1324400" timestamp="1352476826"] Dove, LCM should only be on your "slightly mad" list (not hater list).  We have no shot at the eventual stat champs (Central), perpetual 20-4a dist. champs (Nederland) or those ultra quick, world beater Ozen Panthers who are going to bring sanity back to 20-4a by dominating once again. :) [/quote]Entertaining Post!  :)

Was it evenly matched? [/quote] I was wondering if we would ever hear what teams looked like and not all this other stuff..

[/quote]I don't know, did you? Even if they were there, does that mean this [b]prediction[/b] is wrong? Who knows? They were wrong last year for 20-4A predictions. From the information they likely have in regards to records from last year and returning players, it's hard to argue this prediction. It's a long season, and I suspect the 20-4A district race will be as close as it was last year.

[quote name="diaperdandy19" post="1323115" timestamp="1352335665"] Which 3 will Ned get from football? [/quote]The DEs, Couron and Washington, and the DB/WR Kimler. They all lettered on Varsity last year. They're 6'4"6'3", and 6'2" and all are physical.

I keep hearing about Ned's Fab Freshman guard from Memorial. I keep hearing from several knowledgeable BB guys that he is the best ball handler in Ned and should be up on Varsity. Although, English usually keeps his Fresh down and together will this kid make the jump or will he play down all year? [/quote] He transferred from Beaumont, I believe. Anyway, he is very talented, and he COULD contribute on Varsity later in the year. As of now, he is not ready, IMO. if he is good enough, English will NOT keep him with the Fresh group simply to keep them together. As you may remember, Weisbrod was brought up mid season when he was a Freshman. As far as being the best ball handler, he is good but not better than all of the Varsity kids. A true point guard is what this team is missing. Since he is a true PG, he may find a spot on this year's Varsity squad. Would love to see it so Z. English can be more of a scorer as he won't spend so much energy on bringing the ball up the court. I have seen him play, and I believe he COULD be the real deal, only time will tell. Depends on his work ethic and his desire. [/quote] Hopefully English doesn't have the time to read these posts Abe, but you are [s]finally [/s]making some sense. [/quote] Haha. Careful, you have agreed with Nash a lot lately. Agreeing with me does not help Ur reputation.  ;)
