[quote name="baddog" post="1179262" timestamp="1329403515"] You mean just because we won district titles in every major sport in 2011 and basketball (so far) in 2012 , we can't toot our horn? We must be doing something right to get an all caps post from the biggest blow hard around ( kidding of course) [/quote] Toot on, buddy...But the buck (or those #1 seeds in hoops) stops HERE!!  >:( ;D...BTW, what the heck is a "blow hard"? ???

[quote name="NB-Dawg" post="1179239" timestamp="1329401989"] Nederland fans, go back to your holes. We need to give full attention to 20-4A's 3rd place team.  ::) How dare y'all come on here to congratulate your team!  >:( [/quote] Some fans get on and congratulate their team....Nederland fans claim GREATNESS HAS ARRIVED...WORLD DOMINATION!!  ::) ::)....You guys can have baseball, and even football in some years, but in 20-4A YOU CANT HAVE THE HOOPS!! I have seen ENOUGH!! >:( :D....Time to shift the power back!!  8)

UNACCEPTABLE! >:( >:( ;D ;D....Good luck on your playoff run, Bulldog fans...It will be your LAST in the #1 slot!!!  >:( 8)

I think this just happened to be the final district game for both teams, and they were tied atop of the standings.

Well, If the old man is on the sideline, I am going with Wheatley in a shocker!....102-97! ;)

I think Nederland gets by Dayton fairly easily....58-44 ;)

[quote name="sleepy" post="1179187" timestamp="1329396777"] HJ clearly has no chance vs Yates just as they had no chance a few years back when they played wheatley in a warmup game.  Pointless to play a team you know is gonna beat you by 30 plus  ::) [/quote] No sleepy, they won't beat HJ by 30!....Maybe 25, not 30 though!  ;D ;D...Look I KNOW you guys are not afraid of Yates..Its really not a big deal them dropping down...Those 09 and 10 state teams is LONG gone and I think people are still connecting this Yates team to those guys...Honestly, they are VERY beatable. I am curious to see what this wounded Wheatley squad does against them in the first round of the playoffs....Remember this prediction, sleepy....Wheatley 102, Yates 97... ;)...I pick tradition in this one... 8)

Thats it!  >:( >:( >:( I have HAD IT WITH NEDERLAND FANS!!! I am formally announcing that I am going back to Ozen next year, with Coach Savaet, which will attract the Fantastic incoming class of freshmen from King Middle School to attend Ozen (ALL OF THEM), and get the mojo BACK in the Pear Orchard!!!....NEDERLAND BRAGGING about a darn CO-DISTRICT banner...CO? And then have the gall to call it a "re-building year"!!! ITS NEDERLAND!!! Thats it!!! "The Decision" has been MADE!! >:(..... ;D ;D (just joking).....maybe ::).....

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1179139" timestamp="1329366596"] I can assure you that HJ is not afraid, nor am I!!!! You mean to tell me Yates has no warmup game??? [/quote] Well Hong Kong wasnt afraid either until Godzilla actually SHOWED UP!!! :D :D 8)...I don't think so..They WERE going to DALLAS to play in a playoff preview, but that fell through.

Coldspring may POUND LCM!!! :o

I have a 713 area code number in my speed dial.... ::)....He may be looking for a 3A team to get acclamated to for next season.... ::) ::)...Coaches at a small 4A school across from the University of Houston...you want the other seven digits? 8)

[quote name="dogs1218" post="1179113" timestamp="1329365480"] I know one thing about Wheatley, they dont mind a running game at all.. Track meet type games are welcome to them.. Could get interesting [/quote] My man, that has been the case for over 50 years now at Wheatley!! Thats the ONLY way they know over there!! I will NEVER forget Coach Carr's favorite quote: "I will take a bad shot over a bad pass any day"....This was after he was asked by a local reporter about his teams low shooting percentage one night...CLASSIC COACH CARR!!! ;D ;D ;D

Heard those kids from Wheatley were playing out of their minds tonight! They GUARANTEED a win over Yates in round 1!! Oh boy, oh boy!! Dove, you wanna make the drive to Houston Tuesday night? I can pick you up on the way out..... 8)

What kinda team does Bye have? ;D ;D

They were in the playoffs anyway because Washington beat Furr in the early game, which eliminated any chance of a tie for fourth place...Wheatley will face Yates Tuesday night in the Bi-District round at Delmar Stadium....Legendary Coach Jackie Carr is out of retirement again, coaching the team along with the JV coach.
