Nederland Kicker

[Michele]

So what's the word on our kicker for this season.....Ogreiziak(sp?) or Noel? 

[godawggo]

Hopeful that it is Noel. :D

[GrayDog]

They have a sophomore that has +50 yard range and is automatic on extra points that is likely to bring some good competition...

noel.
Ogriziak quit.

Who is the Sophmore?

[Michele]

Great! Will be nice to have some depth in our kicking.  Can't wait to see the boys in action.

What a lot of people failed to realize is that the district champions were good in that they played the field possition game better than I've seen in recent years.  The kicking game was part of that.  Good kickoffs and good punts leads to bad starting field position for oponents.  If Nederland's kicker is any good, that will make this year's edition even that much better.

[Michele]

I agree...we had some good placement

[outanup]

Does Nederland practice tomorrow? And if so, what time?

[Razor]

I believe they hit the field around 7am.

Soulja, that's a real good observation...I made that point last season...Nederland will be very strong defensively this season, as they were last...when you have that going for you, it is smart to play the field position game and make teams drive long distances on you to score...LSU was really good at that last year as well...I look for more of the same from the Dogs this season

Noel... He is a great kicker...he can hit 50 also... plus calm and cool under pressure...A big part of kicking is being able to handle the game being on your shoulders everytime you step on the field... and he can handle it... 8) 8) 8)

Noel will be the starter. He was hitting 50 today with room to spare. Those soccer kids can really boom the ball.
