Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I wouldnt say overrated but slightly frowned upon because of the schedule i just read----Vidor. Not overrated but close to if they dont do good in district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Two-Dogs... Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Not yet (they haven't played anyone capable of exposing their weaknesses) but after Friday it will be Vidor! They will finish district play with very few wins Simply because they weren't properly prepped for A game as tough as a district game can be. I'm trying to not take anything away from their kids, they may actually have some talent but without true pre-season preparation they will be half way through district before they are beginning to come around. The players will be playing catch up to the teams who played a real schedule. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny_torpedo Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I disagree Two Dogs. I think there is something to be said for building your kids' confidence. Those kids at Vidor are believing they can compete with any team in the district right now. They are off to the best start in school history and while you are right that Friday night will show just how good they really are, you can bet they believe they can win. And that kind of heart and attitude is exactly what that team needed. I think it will be a great game with Vidor having an excelllent shot at pulling off the upset at home. They already played Nederland tough in a scrimmage setting earlier this year. Those kids are ready to run through a brick wall. Gonna be a great game.

Guest Two-Dogs... Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Tinytorpedo I agree about building confidence. That can be done by playing a few "gimme" games in the pre-season not the entire schedule though. I think today's kids are smart enough to realize they haven't played any competition so I'm not sure how much confidence those vidor boys may have right now. I say this with experience as I am a PNG fan. For the last several years we have played a pre-season schedule similar to the one vidor has set up this year. What I saw those years once we reached district play was a group of kids that were totally unprepared to play against the sharper players who had been forced to actually compete in the pre-season. BTW we may have swung a bit too far the other way this year especially with the late arrivals of our football players but only time will tell. I hope I am wrong about vidor but my brain just keeps reminding me that you gotta play "up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Wolf Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 After looking at their schedule, Vidor will loose to Nederland and then won't know how to pick themselves back up after their first loss of the season and loose to Legacy who has played a tougher schedule then they have. I'm just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wOUTanEXCUSE Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 How can Vidor be the most over-rated?? Haven't seen or read anything giving them a good review.. If anything I would vote Vidor under-rated... Good athletes around a great scorer in Williamson, makes for a team that is able to pull off some upsets this. And I EXPECT them to.

Nobody is on here beating their chests saying Vidor will win district. Nobody from Vidor is talking smack. They are not ranked or getting any POSITIVE publicity. To be overrated, you would first have to be rated. Vidor is QUIETLY winning games, gaining confidence, learning to win and growing as a team. It is a shame that so many haters have come out.

Cool Hand Luke Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Nederland has a lot to prove. Based on their inconsistency of play....they could be overrated. They can't look past anyone. I'm not sure they should be state-ranked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wOUTanEXCUSE Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 The KIDS don't make the schedule and the KIDS won all the games they were supposed to win... Seems that people are bitter that they haven't loss.. Vidor has lost to some of these teams in recent years.. I'm not saying they will win state, or district for that matter but no need to discredit what the kids have done so far because the COACH put together a weak schedule. At least wait for them to get blown out to rip them apart, and tell them how over-rated they are. Then I'd be right with you guys.. As I am just as against THAT weak of a schedule.
