And in some years MORE than we did at Ozen. This year Central has GREAT young talent, but the only way Nederland has ANY shot at beating them is the fact that Brian English is a much better coach than Central's coach...MUCH BETTER. With the right guy on the Central sideline, they blow that district away, UNDEFEATED. JUST like we did.... ;) [/quote] Let me  pose this question to you Dickie.  If Boutte was at Ozen and you were at Central, who would win the head to head matches and who would win the district title? [/quote] I cannot wait for this response!!! ;D

The district standings thread has been updated to reflect the results from last night's games. It is in a sticky topic up top of forum.

[quote name="bullets13" post="1370718" timestamp="1360174485"] what confuses me is which bracket this game is supposed to bust... [/quote] Winner gets an automatic bid to the Texas High School Class 5A boys basketball playoffs.

I copied and pasted the last few posts and started a thread for the talk on Kelly's district scenario. Please use that thread to continue the conversation.

From bmtcpa87: That's correct ballislife.  But what I think would be better is for Pius to beat Thomas.  Then all Kelly has to do is beat Thomas.  They don't have to worry about beating Thomas by 6.  That assumes Kelly can beat Concordia, which isn't going to be easy.  We will have to play much better than we did at home against Concordia.  Kelly was lucky to win that game. 

From Ballislife: If Kelly wins their next game, and then beat St. Thomas by +6, they will have first place no matter what St. Thomas does in their next game. If Kelly wins the next game and loses to Thomas, they will have a tie breaker with Pius for 2nd, depending on the outcome of the Thomas-Pius game

I took some posts from another thread and posted them here for continued conversation on the subject. From bmtcpa87: Not sure where else to put this.  St. Thomas beat Concordia last night 67-59, so St. Thomas is 3-1 and Concordia is 1-3.  Kelly and St. Pius are both 2-2.  So far in district, the home team has won every game.  Thomas has road games remaining at Pius and Kelly.  Concordia has homes games with Kelly and Pius.  Kelly plays at Condordia and then home against Thomas.  Pius plays Thomas at home then at Concordia.  If the home teams continue to win we will all end up 3-3.  I have no clue how that tie breaker would work. Finally, the Kelly and Condordia game has been moved from Friday to tomorrow, February 7.  Obviuosly a huge game for Kelly.  A win by Kelly guarantees a playoff spot as top 3 go to playoffs and would set up a district championship game next Tuesday against Thomas at Kelly.  Kelly has the tie breaker on Pius due to point differential so it would be best if Pius wins their final two games and we both end up 4-2.  Gotta win one on the road.

I was obviously not at the game last night so I cannot comment on if the officiating was bias or not. I can say this. I have been to many a basketball game in this area where games were officiated by either the local TASO or UIL Chapters. I have seen officials from both chapters greet and talk to fans before and even sometimes during the game. Because these guys know some of the people in attendance and acknowledge and speak with them cordially, does that mean those guys will call a bias game? I don't think so. Like I said, wasn't at the game last night, so I really do not know. But I think you guys are making the "conversing with the fans" a mountain out of a mole hill.

I'm talking about him mingling with the Ozen fans like he knew every one of them. Same ref that gave coach E a tech in our 1st game against Ozen. [b]Maybe he's just mad coach E wouldn't agree to a local chapter and he had to drive all the way from college station. [/b]Regardless, horrible ref. [/quote] The officials did not "have" to come to Beaumont. They could have very easily turned the game down. Those guys get paid for the mileage so that is not an issue. A lot of the officials across the state know each other so seeing one greet another in the stands is no big deal. [/quote]Is it also the norm to shake hands and talk to fans who are not officials? It was apparent that he knew other fans than just that one ref. [/quote] See my last post.

BTW, if the tall official is the same College Station chapter official that officiated the HJ/Silsbee game at Ford Arena, then I can understand why he greeted and chatted with some fans at the game. He is from this area.

[quote name="baddog" post="1370634" timestamp="1360167937"] Typical loser's stance bringing in the refs. Funny how Ozen is never outplayed. It was either bad coaching or bad refs...and that is what is fed to their players. Ozen lost....deal with it. [/quote] It was a Nederland fan who was complaining about the officials. Quote from: Bulldog10 on February 05, 2013, 08:45:39 PM     That why I couldn'tmake it.... Nederland always plays 8 on 5 there

Score??

Score??

Still needing score for Brookeland at Zavalla

[quote name="baddog" post="1370552" timestamp="1360159793"] Who won? [/quote] Ozen
