locker room talk

Heard the game was in Barbers Hill, that is always a hard place to win with the Refs over there.

So lcm beats Png by 2 in double OT and Lumberton beats Png without their post players  by 10 Lcm vs lumberton is always a battle, Lumberton lost a special player last year and a pretty dang good guard and you expect more out of them lol when they are 5-2 which isn’t bad being so early. Huffman will be fine once they find their identity, I think LCM Vs Huffman will be a good game tonight. HF has way more depth than HJ and I could actually see Fannett running away with that title. Fannett isn’t more physical than Hj, Fannett really doesn’t have a post player and HJ has two good bullies down low, all about matchups my friend. Nederland also has made strides just in the last week by watching them play in the tourney that what happens to a veteran ball club who has 10 plus seniors. 

PNG is up and down.  I was somewhat suprised that Lumberton beat PNG.  I think LCM has no problem with lumberton.  I don't totally disagree with your HF/HJ analysis but I still think they likely split.  With all of these teams and games.  If one team gets hot and eliminates turnovers, they can win.  Turn the ball over and miss shots, it is hard to win.  Overall, I stand by my above post.  I do get your point though.

I watched a lot of the Nederland tournament and will give you my thoughts for what it is worth.  LCM beats Lumberton easy.  Orangefield has one kid that can get hot from the 3 and knows how to drive.  Huffman did not impress me at all.  I think HJ and HF beat Huffman with no problem. I can see HF and HJ splitting.  HJ can get hot and are hard to beat.  HF is more physical and athletic.  If the HJ point guard is not hot then I think HF wins.  As stated above, Lumberton can't compete against teams that have any talent.  I expected more from them.  I have not seen Silsbee play yet this year.  Obviously not all teams mentioned were in the Nederland tournament, but I have seen all that I have mentioned.  In regard to WOS, coach has some talented kids, but from what I hear, one of his best didn't play and the other big was limited in play time (discipline issues)

He is a great kid all around.  Happy for him and his family.

I thought otherwise.  I will try and see if I can figure this out.  

He actually beat a Perkins led team when he was at Vidor.  May have beat them twice that year.  Scouts were at game to watch Perkins at their own little table at Ozen.  Vidor lit it up from the 3.  Fact.

I agree, 2 good coaches.  Even though I see United winning, I never count English out.  I remember him beating K Perkins when he was at Vidor.  He always has something up his sleeve.   I hope Ned makes it respectful.   

I watched the game last night and it was fun.  Nederland pulled out the win despite a bunch of turnovers.   Once their offense starts clicking, they are going to be tough to beat.  I didn't have them doing this well before the season.  I hear they have some younger ballers on the team that are getting adjusted to the varsity level.  Once they get going with number 21 and jackson, they are going to be fun to watch.

he will be back soon

Congrats to Hefner on his success.  Got to say, he is the best player to ever come out of Nederland.  I have been watching the dogs for many years and he always impresses me.  He always finds a way to get to the basket and is super smooth.  I know that Weisbrod is going to play overseas and congrats to him as well.  He is a solid player and works hard.  Hefner, however, was recruited by many D1 schools and seems to be a head above the rest.  Coach English should be proud.

PNG plays Nederland at 6 p.m. Thursday at PNG gym

Oh and they do rely heavily on those 4.  Don't think they could beat the red birds this year though

Yes, I know who Hawk05 is!!! Only because of his past post from last year.  He was a coach from nederland.  I have met him once last year while we were both watching teams we were going to play.  Not sure if he remembers me though.  My name is Ruben for what it is worth.  I get around and have lots of friends from the mid county area.  Most are in junior division still but a few talkers from the senior teams in that area.  After rereading your post, I guess you were asking Hawk, not me.

Talk to those LCM boys and see what us redbirds did to them this past weekend.  Mercy it was good!!!!

Display Name, you sound like the junior Ned black parent from last year that tooted his horn all year and got  beat by white.  He is still on that team but ya'll talk like brothers.  I like the smack though

I wonder who this dad is and what team his son plays for.  Sounds like the coast gaurd talking to me.  How about the boys from Bridge City?  show them a little love.  You must not have seen them yet.

Hey Bugatti!!!!  Man I have missed you on here.  Been kinda boring.  Let me guess you are about to start defending the actions of whatever happened and explain what a great guy this is?  Tell your buddy Jag hello.  we miss him too.  

Wow what a difference one year makes. Lumberton goes from victim of Nederland and Bmt to villain of "Spirit of the Rule".  We have "inflategate" I hear.  Balls over inflated used only on kickoff so as to bounce out of control, and onside kicks when score is lopsided.  I personally don't like the way the rule is imposed so it doesn't matter to me.  Just find it funny that the team that caused coaches to get suspended last year could face the music this year for the same thing.  I am not sure if it is even the same coach as last year but I do know it is the same team.  Would be curious to hear if it is. 

I hate all this LOVE out there.  The season is early and I am sure that will change.  Those Nederland boys are glad beaumont is giving them a chance this year.  I loved watching the talent on that team.  Great kids and some good coaches in my book.

may be a tough year for nederland gold sr. if they don't speed up their offense and stick with the basics.  suprise to me how that one turned out.  lumberton is good but still a suprise with some of the talent on that nederland team.  LCM is now my team to beat.  big and small school

well jr.ned white didn't do so hot.  star running back hurt on first play.  not sure if that was the difference or not.  

Maybe I didn't see the whole game.  I know that there are some talented good kids on that team whisperer, but the only one I saw that scored or gain positive yards was #9.  He had about 600 yards it seemed like.  Who is that kid?  is he new?

saw beaumont juniors practice against each other, hopefully they have made alot of improvements or it will be a long year for them.

another cake walk for the nederland boys in junior again this year.  LCM might be a good game for them though

I hear PNG may be good this year too!  what about the other nederland team, anyone know?
