PoppaBearstarr Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Sorry I couldn't make it tonight, but I will be there the 25th fo sho..Glad the Hawks took care of business against a scrappy Nederland team...
Lazeek Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Scrappy?? You got that right. One of the most physical teams I have seen in a long time. Hope #40 and #20 are alright for Big Ned!!!!

However, they seemed to play with a different mentality tonight. Maybe it was the atmosphere and level of competition??

Dont get me wrong this HJ team is good, but don't under estimate Nederland. That is why you schedule tough teams in the preseason. So it gets you ready for District when it really matters. Nederland has potential, and thats one of the scariest things in Basketball. Great win HJ! Best of luck to both teams on a great and SAFE season.
DP#1FAN Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Have Mercy, They are better than I thought.
BMTSoulja1 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 This have to be a good team. I know that our defending district champions have lost a lot to graduation with 2 6'5" players in Forney and Smith, but I did expect a more difficult struggle. to come in and beat the defending champs by 20+ says a lot. I know it's early in the season, but still. We beat H-J last year and those young guns Prudohm (sp) and Bosh were a scrappy bunch. With an extra year under their belt and the experience with that deep playoff run, I would imagin that sky is the limit for this team. I want to see their size. I guess I'll see that first hand Friday.

BEARCAT Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Does Ned. have any good players still in football (those that should contribute good min.)?

stevenash Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Does anyone else out there agree with me that Weisbrod should spend more time in the paint as opposed to the perimeter?

BADSANTA Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 From where? He is a dang good player.

I just didn't understand why he was out on the perimeter and not down on the block somewhere. Just doesn't make much sense. Particularly with his shot, not very good. For him to be outside shooting three's with that shot is not a good game plan. No arc on his shot what so ever. Also, he was relied on heavily to help bring the ball down the floor against the press which helps keep him out of position, down on the low block. Again, what I saw from Nederland last night was a far cry from their team from last year. Only a 7 man rotation (only went to that 8th man when an injury occurred). The guard play was very erratic and cracked many times under pressure, several bad passes and poor decisions. Now, that HJ pressure will do it to the best of them, but I have seen enough of that HJ pressure over the years and that was not the best that this HJ bunch can play. HJ is very, very good but I still say they didn't play as well as they could have.This game IMO was more about Nederland's inabilities than HJ's abilities.Unless Nederland is getting some inside help and scoring from some football players, based on what I saw last night, I predict they finish 3rd in district, behind Central and Ozen.Just my opinion.

BMTSoulja1 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 I thought he was pretty good on the block last year complimenting Nederland's senior bigs. I agree. The kid is 6'4" ish with size. He should remain on the block untill he proves he can consistantanly be a threat to hit the mid range jumper or the 3 ball.

It's only the 2nd game of the season though. They'll improve. Two years ago, when they won district for the 1st time, they started the season 3-9! HJ beat them early that year as well by 20+. Again, i predicted last month that they will struggle early on (because they are young and inexperienced), then they will get it together in time for district.
ForeverADog Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Disappointing result. Still a work in progress. With such a young team I expected growing pains. If Weisbrod wasn't in the post than that is a crying shame. He is one of the smoothest post players you will see at this level. Great second half HJ and best of luck on the season.
Lazeek Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 He played a bunch on the perimeter, but he posted up several times. He has great moves on the block as well. Behind English he is the best ball handler on the team from what I saw. #35 struggled with the pressure, but I see him being solid once they get some experience. My verdict still remains the same...........you do not always have to have the most talent to win, as long as you have the best coaching!!! And no doubt that Nederland has the best coaching in 20-A!!!!!
PoppaBearstarr Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 Must have been some great coaching adjustments at the half....Nederland will be fine. Just wait and see.
