Congratulations Jaylan from the entire Ary family!! Congratulations Mom and Dad !! Big time accomplishment!!

I was surprised at first seeing this score, but then realized Ozen owes this win to Nederland. Central had tired legs after Ned let them run up and down the court for lay ups and dunks Tues night

Wish everyone would quit posting on this thread. I'm tired of seeing the score every time I log in

Yep, 3-4 Central peeps respond on here. More Ozen peeps. But it would be just as bad if more Central peeps. With Fiddler being the most regular Central person, not too much back and forth between Central & Nederland.

Very true. Not many folks from Central on the board. Now if Nederland were to play Silsbee, the thread would be 25 pages long...before tip off lol

True. I really think Central should put their full focus on that Fri game, tonight's game means nothing

Sounds like they are doing a lot of celebrating about beating Ned in OT around here.  

Just pot stirrin 

Possibly, they need to learn how to finish off a game.

I will see what I can find.
Wish there were a district statistician for basketball like there is for football.

Interesting, we've talked about this too.  Lol.  And I agree with this statement.. 
 
You may be wrong.  The Ozen team this year mirrors the team last year.  Records almost identical, there is that 1 guy that  you can iso and he can do his thing (Hunter last year, Boyd this year), there are a couple of pretty good big men coming along (Wyngard and Bolton last year, Pierre and Gibson this year), and the rest of the experienced group returns.  The X factor is that Broussard is playing so well and Tyler is healthy this year (very underrated on the ball defender) .

If you are constantly reloading with talent galore and competing for state titles, why in the world would little old Nederland get under your skin this bad? Teams that aren't competitive wouldn't command this many posts.

They are BOTH great coaches....One has a DIFFERENT body of work and accomplishments than the other, yet they are BOTH great.

Here is the simple reason behind the seating. Anyone can sit anywhere they want in our gym. There is one, and only one, exception. It is the seating DIRECTLY behind the benches. This applies to both HOME and VISITOR sides. The seating there literally starts one foot behind the benches, and it is not the best idea to have opposing fans that close, for either team. Wiuldnt you agree?. It is our gym and those are our seating arrangements. If that's not to your liking simply don't come to our gym. Honestly, is the seating that much of an issue?

I guess what I don't understand is why a few Ozen fans seem to get their panties in a bunch when English is complimented on the job he's done.  This started with a statement I made about how much the Bulldogs have improved this year.  If you saw them at the start, and have seen them now (and know anything about the game), you really can't argue this fact.  
No one was putting down Saveat.  In fact, he's been consistently complimented in this thread too.  And I know many of you love Boutte (he is routinely brought into these threads especially by one of you), and I have nothing but respect for him.  Clearly he was a heck of a coach.  But it would be like every time his name is invoked, someone pointed out - "well, he is certainly no Bob Hurley or Morgan Wootten."  
We have several outstanding coaches in this area and to praise one is not to deride another. Just wondering what the undercurrent is because some certainly seem to have an agenda where Brian is concerned.  

Funny how some people can go back 9 years to make their point but others are told not to live in the past. Also, very comical how "after" the game is done, the barbs are thrown at the "non-competitive" team.  Lmao.

You are simply unable to be enlightened

Great game. One of the most entertaining games this year. Fourth quarter was a replica of last meeting. Ned makes free throws they win, we just didn't get it done. Ozen fought back and deserve the win

You should have seen him a few years ago. He is well behaved now 

Kind of turned out how I expected.  A lot of us thought it would be another dog fight (no pun intended).  Nederland continues to impress me, especially with how the season began.  I don't know why I am surprised at this point, it's what we should all expect from a Brian English-coached team. 
At this point, they need to learn how to finish and win these types of games.  Very good showing but I am sure disappointing too.  Two really good opportunities to pull off a big upset lost.  But I am sure they will learn from it and continue to improve...

I wish Ned would have 'put the game away' in the 2nd when we were up 18 points. We let Boyd gain confidence as he scored 7 'easy' points in the last minute of the half. 
Speaking of fouls, was that not the longest game ever?

Agree 100%. 

He is an X-factor. Hopefully he will be "on"
