Memorial was also in our bracket, but LCM sent them to the Loser's bracket. When the people made this schedule, they did not know PAM would be struggling this early on. And in case you didn't see the game (which i know you didn't), in the 3rd place game, Lufkin lead Kimball the entire game until the end of the 4th Q! So Lufkin, also a 5A team, may be better than you think. But then again, it doesn't help to speak logic to someone who is not logical! Good luck to your [s]Horns[/s], Panthers, or whoever the next team you choose to support. I've supported the [b]Nederland Bulldogs[/b] for all 44 years of my life! [/quote] I will say this about the Dallas Kimball/Lufkin game. That was not the Dalllas Kimball team that played the first two games of the tourney. They were just going through the motions against Lufkin for the first 3 quarters, never pressing one second of the game until the middle of the 4th. I believe it was because Royce Johnson, coach of Kimball, was still pissed about losing to North Shore. He never got off the bench during the game up until the 4th and they rotated players in and out much differently than in the previous two games. It was obvious they really didn't care about the game. What most folks don't know, Coach Johnson was threatening to quit the tourney (not play in 3rd place game) and never return to this tournament because he felt the officials (both on and off the court) were against his team. (I heard this first hand as I was back near the hospitality room where this conversation was taking place) Coach Johnson thought the foul calls were too one-sided and he questioned the bracket lay out. Needless to say, we probably won't see Dallas Kimball back at the YMBL. I think Ned's path to the finals became easier when both Central, PAM and Ozen lost in the first round. But, they took care of business and they did beat Hightower who had just come off beating down Central. ;)

[b]Some tough going for the Tigers[/b]. [/quote] I agree AAW. Not a favorable draw for Silsbee. I wonder how the YMBL determined who plays each other? Straight draw? Any seedings from previous years? [/quote] I spoke to those in charge of the tourney. The pairings were selected based on hoping to get a local in the finals, which it did. I think it was obvious to everyone the top half was the loaded half. At least that was the opinion of all that I heard from.

I am a believer now!! I was pretty hard on Nederland after the HJ game but this is a different team now, playing much better basketball. They will in the mix for the 20-4A district title and maybe even the favorite. Had some mixed feelings about this game and who to really pull for. (of course I was very unbiased in my broadcast ;) ;D). Nederland was our local team but the coach for North Shore, David Green, well he and I go way back to when we played on the same Little League baseball team in Silsbee. David and I went to school together in Silsbee and are good friends. Always love seeing him do well. This game was played by two very well coached teams. It was a pleasure to broadcast.

SEW WHAT!...He is also a football coach...it's called excitement, and the players feed off of it. Football coaches "chest bump"players after touch downs and big plays all the time, on all levels...that coach is a big part of Ozen's intensity and their ability to overcome adversity. I hardly think a ''chest bump" warrants a discussion in the mist of the biggest win of the year for those girls. IMO, it shows no class on your part to even post such foolishness that takes the focus away from a great achievement by the Lady Panthers! Now to put the focus where it needs to be....congratulations to the Lady Panthers and COACHES on a great tournament, and defeating 5A #3 ranked Clear Springs. Special congrats to Ozen's  All tournament team players, Beloved Brown, SanQuiesha Rawls, Nekia Jones and MVP Asia Booker....Go Panthers! [/quote] There was another thread that detailed the game, dim, (thanks to[b] AggiesWeAre[/b])...nobody is dissing the team.  That coach acts like a buffoon constantly and it gives an outstanding team a bad rap...even in fall ball. He needs to get control of himself.  Try to get some more fans to post for Ozen...they deserve it. [/quote] Uh, it's AggiesAreWe. ;) ;D I really enjoyed this game. The crowd was a buzz!!! Great atmosphere. Those were two very good basketball teams laying it all out on the court. Congrats to both teams.
