[quote name="Bulldog10" post="964630" timestamp="1297449875"] They did make the playoff in 1993!!!!! [/quote] Who was in the district that year? Wasn't that the 1st year that 3 teams made the playoffs?

We sucked when I played, and for the majority of the 50 years before that. Don't over analyze a simple post. [/quote] If your point is that this Nederland team might be special and is probably the best ever at Nederland, then yes I get your point.  If your point is that Nederland has never had good basketball teams (which is what you implied), then no I don't get your point. [/quote] I think anyone (including myself) who played at Nederland (before English arrived) agrees that Nederland did suck from 1987-2007.

[/quote]Yes it will be pack ozen bring fans to this game from what my son tells me they have a bus for students for this game. [/quote] The more fans (from either side) the more exciting. I welcome Ozen fans to make the short 15 minute drive to the Dawg Dome. If it is anything like the last time these two met (at Ozen where there were twice as many Ned fans), I predict 4 times more Nederland fans than Ozen fans tonight!

Although I personally don't see Roc giving up the Montagne any warmup or play in games!!!!! [/quote]Seems I remember last year there being warmup games played at Lamar. I think Kountze and Silsbee and Spurger and one other team played. And I think it was a packed house. [/quote] I believe Nederland and Ozen played at the Montagne last year for district seedings for the playoffs since they tied for the district title (which Nederland won-BTW)

Going to be another packed house-better arrive early.

Oh, sorry. I predict y'all will win by 10 or more at home. Thought y'all already played them twice-my bad...

Better get there early or you may be standing. I'm predicting SRO for the stragglers.

So...BOTH games were played at The Reservation, BOTH games had the same ref officiate, BOTH games won by two points on a last second shot. I don't want to take anything away from how well the kids played in these games, but one has to wonder why BOTH games were so much closer AT PN-G. Dawgs and Jags won by more than ten at home. Someone needs to investigate this guy.

Is that guy a PNG grad or what? It is obvious that he calls in their favor. If the Vidor coach reads theses remarks, maybe he'll scratch him before it's too late.

Definitely want to give props to the boys soccer team winning district for 15+ years in a row. I know MANY of those years they were undefeated.

Sounds like Ozen is hungry for the upset. I'm sure English will have them ready and motivated for an undefeated district record!

PNG by 6

BALL won't lose 2 in a row-they win by 7.

Ball is a GREAT team, no doubt, but Kimball reminds me of PA Lincoln 'back in the day' when they won their state titles. I (unfortunately) played against one of those teams. Got beat by 50+ EVERY TIME!!!

Nederland needs to play this game like a playoff game. Ozen will come out stronger than last game. If Nederland thinks they will walk over them (as they did last time), they will get their 1st L in district. Ozen can score in bunches quickly. Nederland was pumped and on fire last time, just wondering if the players will have that same intensity on Friday?

Man, you're fast-Thanx!!!

BIG game this Friday at the Dog Dome in Nederland. Will Nederland be hungry enough for an undefeated district record on Senior night? How badly will Ozen want revenge on the Dawgs after Nederland dominated them for the first 26 minutes at Ozen?

I've seen two different standings for this district. Does anyone (aggiesarewe) have the accurate standings?? Thanks!

Looking more likely that there will be a tie for that 4th playoff spot. Which two (or three) teams is (obviously) still up in the air. Should be exciting to see, although I don't see them (whoever it may be) get out of the first round-IMO.

[quote name="SHSTIGER" post="963417" timestamp="1297233135"] Thought that it would be unlikely for us to have a warm-up gme against a 4A team? Off topic, but what weekend is the state tournament? [/quote] I think it would be a great opportunity for the Tigers to face Ball as a warm up game. Any time you can face an echelon team from an echelon district, it only makes your team better, regardless of the outcome. I will be cheering for the Tigers to win as I did when they played them in the Bulldog Classic.

They are beatable Nederland.
