TABC woke up!

[Honest Abe]

TABC has adjusted their Final Rankings for class 4A. Nederland is now #12 as they so deserved!

[AggiesAreWe]

I have adjusted to reflect the change.


Something told me that was a misprint.

[CThoops]

I knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

[ForeverADog]

Way to get it right tabc.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Im not sure about that... Losing all the major players, and replacing it with going to be juniors and sophomores.. Fat Chance

[/quote]*shrugs* ive seen it done before. That freshman is a pretty good inside presence

Oh I know the group coming up is really good and the growing pains will be a problem fixed in Summer ball, but not many coaches really know what Nederland has next

[Honest Abe]

It's possible-mainly b/c they've won back-to-back district titles. I agree w/Dogs1218 though. A lot of good young talent, but will take time to get to a top 20 ranking. I DO think they will battle for the district title again, but replacing 5 starters is NEVER an easy task.

I actually think the younger players will play better and looser with a little less pressure (not expected to win district, not expected to go undefeated in district, etc) and it will be exciting to watch as this new group grows and develops and it becomes "their team".

Very true. Nobody intimidates them, and they have won so much, that they expect it from themselves. Once they reach their mid season stride, they'll be battling for their 3rd straight district title. They KNOW how to win!
