No they can not win state good coaching and the effect of coaches kid on court will get wins around here but they are skilled or athletic enough. Will get run of the court. Oh yeah about stalling the ball Boutte did that for 15yrs or so.

Sorry Ned! It wont happen!

I'm also betting that the sun doesn't rise in the west. I like living on the edge.

Betting on a team not to win it all is too easy. They don't even cover bets like that in Vegas.

Nederland undefeated in district so far does not surprise me. But, district isn't over just yet. ;)

[baddog]

I am full aware that it ain't over. I never put the cart before the horse. Just along for the ride. Nederland basketball has not always been synonymous with winning. Not making any predictions, just enjoying it.

It's on you.

Hmmm...  You may see a blemish in that pretty undefeated record later this week.  ;) ;) 8) 8)

I can handle a blemish. Winning in basketball is still a little foreign, but it's fun.

Played poker at the boat Saturday night from 7pm till 4am, never once having to say it. It was refreshing.

A rather weak support (or lack of) statement there. How many games have U seen them play this year, and [b]have U seen the other 'top Dawgs' in the state??[/b][/quote]

Nederland sure hasn't, and when they do, they'll probably lose.  They're going to have to beat at least 4 teams better than any on their schedule up to this point in order to win state.  They're a very good team in this area, but this area is way down in 4A/5A basketball this year.

That's not my question ; I did not claim that they have faced an echelon team other than Christian Life. My question is; Have YOU seen these other teams play personally? If not, then how do U know how they will match up? For instance, I watched G. Ball play in the Nederland Classic. Nederland matches up very well with them-so it's not crazy to say they can get out of their region...

[Guest tappedout]

I watched G-Ball in the Nederland tournament and there is no way that Nederland can hang with them. They don't have the big's to contain their big's. Come on people, get real they barely beat PNG. 20-4A is extremely weak this year.

[baddog]

Most basketball wins fall under the "barely" column.

U can't base an entire season based on one (rivalry) game! Come on, get real! They can't hang with them??? That's funny b/c Ned beat Ball last summer in a tournament... I'll b laughing at all of you when they surprise everyone except me!

On a match-up basis, K-Smith and Forney can hang with Evans and Pettaway.. Just saying

So U are judging a team based on ONE game they played against their rival?? Really? Not gonna get much respect that way. BTW-Did U (or anyone) know that Nederland beat G. Ball last summer in a tourney?? Oh wait, I thought u said they couldn't 'hang with them'. Guess that shows how much U know...

yes, it is crazy to say that.

[Guest tappedout]

Last summer! I have been to several of Nederland's games this season. They have a good team but when you put a lot of pressure on them, they struggle. I'm just saying 20-4A is down this season and when the playoff's it will not last long. I hope I'm wrong because I like watching this team play.
