This is a thread of poor taste.  It's good as locked.

Nederland seems they have overcome problems.  They had problems with pressing teams (H-J).  They had problems with bigger teams (Central ). Since those loses, they have key wins vs those teams.  Also, take into account that Nederland has already beaten Silsbee, that will add to the confidence factor.  I know it's Silsbee's first home game of the year. But I dont think they will be rattled.  They've played in a hostile environment (PA) and left with a win.

I do see Bullet's point, though. [/quote] I don't see the point. Have yall really looked at HJ's schedule??? ::) [/quote] I didn't say I agree.  I say I see his point.  If I agreed, I would have picked the Hawks over the Jags. [/quote]So, you (also) are agreeing HJ has played a a weak schedule  ;D [/quote] It may be one of those comparing oranges to apples type deals. Those weak teams, as you described them, may be the born in 3a ball. That's pretty apparent since most of us agree that the cream of the crop in 3a ball consists of Silsbee and H-J. Btw, dove, I never said that either.  ;)

I have Nederland by 6.  They went I. The road with a bad shooting performance to beat a legit Memorial team.  I see Big Ned flexing their muscles.  8)

I never saw anyone claim that the FB kids should not be allowed on the team. I believe they are desperately needed in order for us to make another deep playoff run. Regardless of what skill set 5on5 believes they have or Big Show or Brubaker or myself believes. What matters is what the coaches think. Last year, these guys played a big role in our success. If we play a BIG team, then Washington and Couron will be utilized more so than when we play a team like Silsbee. Kimler is more diverse, bc he's fast AND he plays physical (which we desperately need)! Kimler was a defensive specialist for most of last year, and he played limited minutes. When he asked Coach E. to move down to JV for 2nd half of district, he was able to work on his offensive and skill sets. He returned to Varsity for playoffs. If he has developed an outside shot since last season, he could be deadly.  Did these players improved their basketball skills since last year, IMO yes, just not as much as the non-FB kids. Brubaker mentioned English's brother being good at both sports, but that was over 20 years ago when kids didn't play year round. Plus, he was more of an exception rather than the norm. In addition, since our FB team made a deep run this year, so those kids will have to put in extra time if they want to make a serious impact for the team. It can happen though: Just 2 years ago, D. Forney was our QB then starred on the BBall team. It took him about a month to get to where he was from previous year as it will take a while for these kids too. Hopefully they will work hard over the Christmas Break so they can be 'ready'. Bottom line: We need them in order to make another deep run! [/quote] Yes, bring the big guns in.  Nothing wrong with that.  They will be utilized. [/quote] Oh I gotcha Souljah, in other words Central got this over Nederland no matter who they bring to the gym that night ;)  ;D [/quote]  I didn't say that, but...  ;D

[/quote] Yep. Eagles just gotta continue to play lights out. And I think they will, but I've already kinda got a bit of a knot in my stomach. Newton and Cameron have had some unbelievable games in the playoffs through the years. Go Eagles! [/quote] Now, go and blow all those fools out of the water!  I told a couple  of my football buddies that Newton was a runaway train to the state title.

My immediate expectations for Central is to getting back to what we do best... Running the ball downhill and hard hitting defense.  That's not asking much.  The rest will fall in place.  our running game have been nonexistent now for going on 3 years and on defense, teams used to gear the defense.  Now, we've became a joke of a defense.  Get back to our identity, by ANY means necessary.  It's sad that there's people that's been on our staff for 25 years and counting but somehow paid NO attention to the greats of past.
