[/b] Last year, ESPN was there to cover this event. It's not your normal high school Fall basketball pre-season tourney. There will be out-of-town media to cover this event.  Nederland, Central & Ozen will represent this area. [color=red]Nederland's[/color] Pool: Pearland, Clear Springs, & Bellaire [color=red]Central's[/color] Pool: Kingwood & Strake Jesuit [color=red]Ozen's[/color] Pool: Westfield, Nimtz, & HCYA [/quote]Nederland competed in this event last year too. ESPN ranks kids at this event and provides National recognition to those they feel deserve it.

Whats the look for who's going d1 and d2? I see the 4 playoff teams as ned vidor ozen and livingston in order. Who would go where? [/quote] Nederland  (1478.5) Vidor (1398) Ozen (1264) Livingston (1143) Vidor has the 4th biggest enrollment in the district.  If PN-G & Central miss the playoffs then Vidor goes D1. [/quote] I'm hoping we miss the D1 in fear of meeting up with SC. They would go D1 if they make it right? [/quote] Can't fear anyone in the playoffs. To be the best you have to beat the best. [/quote] Oh don't get me wrong i'm not scared and neither is Vidor but if its possible to face someone other than SC and Dayton in round one i'm gonna hope for it. But if it happens i will definitely cheer my pirates onto victory. [/quote] we would have to be the d2 #2 seed in order to face Dayton in round 1. which basically means we finished 3rd or 4th in district. don't see that happening. we will be either D1 #2 wich will likely get SC or D2 #1 in which case we wouldn't see Dayton until quarter finals. but hey, we got alot of football to play first. you never know how it's goona pan out. [/quote] Yeah i know lol. [/quote] Humble Summer Creek (2019.5) [s]Sheldon C.E. King (1746)[/s] [s]Kingwood Park (1664.5)[/s] [s]Humble (1550)[/s] Dayton (1443) Crosby (1440) This is the top 6 enrollments for 19-4a.  Summer Creek and Dayton will most likely both go D1 and matchup with Nederland & Vidor in the 1st round.  Still a lot of football left to play though! Crosby has always went D1 in the past, but Dayton recruited all of their athletes and passed them up this year in enrollment.  ;D [/quote]Hey PhatMack- Why did you cross KW Park out of the playoff picture? I realize the Hillies beat the 35-3, but are they not a playoff team in that district? If not, who is favored to make the playoffs in that district? Dayton, SC, BH? Crosby? KW Park?

[quote name="PA4Life" post="1281052" timestamp="1348520173"] There was some good competition there.  Teams got an early look on some of their players. PA Memorial was 1 - 2.  Beat Hightower and lost to Elsik and Eisenhower.  PA Memorial will be okay.  They are young and learning everyday. [/quote]I like the way Lott and Chapman play. Don't know the names of other kids. Would love to see PAM return the glory days of Lincoln.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1277187" timestamp="1348191932"] 3-4 of Texas Tech's players wanted to transfer to Lamar to play under Knight. Knight told them no. [/quote]Wonder why? Didn't Lamar lose a lot from last year's SLC Champ team? Were they 'bad kids'? Just curious.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1278603" timestamp="1348284288"] Not too many coaches travelling in S.E.Texas to watch any talent unless its football. [/quote]True. However, for the last two seasons, D1 coaches/recruiters have visited Nederland during The Bulldog Classic. Granted they were there to see Houston area players. The Bulldog Classic should attract a D1 scout this year too.

[quote name="ST413" post="1274816" timestamp="1347936841"] I know Kelly beat what I  was told was pretty much Vidor's varsity in a close game.  The early games were listed as jv don't know anything about those and we left early in the Nederland/Memorial game.

My question, is that Nederlands varsity or JV? [/quote]It was Ned JV. Ned varsity playing PAM tonight.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1274136" timestamp="1347891900"] Central has all the experience, height and talent. They will float on air when district play starts. They truly will have a mega team this season. According to a couple of  reports I've gotten from this weekend (after GASO tourney this weekend) is that Houston & surrounding area teams are really watered down this season with lack of talent. 4-A is prime for a Beaumont team like Central to go a long way. In fact, maybe we should just give Central the district crown now. :-\ [/quote]Who are you, and what did you do with BlueDove?? BlueDove, if you are reading this, someone hijacked your account.  ;D

[quote name="ATWILDCAT" post="1273405" timestamp="1347768047"] Just now able to post my observations on the game yesterday. You guys have one heck of a football team over there. Big and strong kids. Gave us all we wanted. We needed a game like that after the BWood game. So many turnovers on your side and all those dang penalties on us and still went down to the wire.The[b] Bulldog secondary pretty much put the clamps on our passing game[/b] and Coach Roark adjusted some after the half and pounded the rock just enough to get some scores and pull it out. Hats off to the Nederland HC to go for the win after closing 32-31 instead of the tie. Our defense made the big play there. And what about that rain! That stuff was coming down sideways. :o Glad it slowed up some to play the second half. Anyways good luck the rest of the year and hope to see the Dogs in the playoffs. Also hope the injured players get healthy. We had our best DB, which is also our fastest kid, get injured and only played the first half. I think he has bruised ribs. He'll be sore the next couple of days , but he'll be fine. Was a very physical game. [/quote] I was afraid about #9 all night. He could be VERY dangerous if y'all can get him the ball. I know y'all tried a few times early, but the Ned DBs made great plays. He's probably 6'3", fast, and a big frame on him. He is a great weapon to have for sure.

63-10 Final. Not pretty. I knew they were good, but wow!!

315.5 hours until kickoff, and we are already on page 6. Grab a drink and some snacks, sit back and enjoy cheap entertainment (no offense)!
