Just like I predicted, district play in 22-5A Ozen/Nederland dog fight to the end.Congrats to both teams for a great effort. 

Ozen's big man dunked on a Nederland player and pointed at him.  Got a T.  After that, Nederland stole the momentum.  Dunk and move on, big man!  Geesh!

Ozen Freshmen won 40-37

Nederland...

I'll take Nederland +15 all day. Not predicting a win, but I wouldn't be shocked if it happens. I say the dogs keep it within 10. We always play well at Ozen. 

Well Orange does its team and Beaumont does its. We decided to do ours with the teams we cover. It actually makes more sense. Can't please everyone. 
But here is a question. You started out saying we don't cover PAM and we didn't have many Titans on the Super Team. Now you would rather we put players from Beaumont and Orange area which would then mean LESS Titans players on the team. Which is it?

11 Bulldogs, 11 Indians and 7 Titans if my memory serves me correct. The teams with 11 players went 8-4 while PAM went 3-7. In fact, this is the first year we took the Beaumont and Orange area out so that we could include more players from our immediate readership. 
Thanks for the support

Colton was and is a special kind of player.  Has plenty of talent but also a rare kid who gets every single bit of production he can with what he has. However, we all knew English could coach before he had Weisbrod and before he was even at Nederland.  I saw them the Bulldogs the first game of the season and they have definitely improved a lot since then.  Which you would expect from an English-coached team.  Ozen is and should be a heavy favorite in this one.  But I am long past being shocked any time Big Ned pulls off an upset in this district.  

Dude can coach...  Plus he had Wiesbrod, who apparently has game..judging by his performance while at Nederland and while playing d-1 ball...  It helps to have a monster at your disposal...

Ozen should skip this tournament because like the YMBL ,the Gamble hasn't been competitive in years . It doesn't benefit Ozen to play Memorial for the 6th time(including preseason) and West Brook (possible 2x). Your right play whoever is in front you. I absolutely hate seeing SETX tournaments mainly YMBL & Gamble . Nederland & HJ make their tournaments competitive why cant these tournamentsdo the same.

and who beat Central in the championship game 42-39? 
 
Lace up and play or go home and whine. 

So will they be disappointed with a split with Ozen?

nice cover up BD!

I think Nederland will beat Central at least once.  ***shots fired*** LOL

This ones for you Soulja.....
Memorial 62
Ozen 64
 
Memorial 66
Nederland 75

Y'all?

The screen blew up. Then started posting messy stuff to start a Nederland / Central debate. Genius at work!

user error. 

yes, Jones did transfer from PA last year and played on Neds JV team. His development over the past 12 months have been impressive. He wasn't very polished when he arrived. The program at Nederland has helped him develop his skills. He has done a good enough job that we aren't missing Ballou like we thought we would. He's been selected to the all tournament team in 2/3 tourneys this year. 

i thought the basketball forum needed a little flavoring  to get some chatter going.

Hmmm? Sounds like Nederland thinks it can give Ozen a smackdown. Hmmm!

lets re-visit this post in a couple months. 

I'm messing with you. lol

i think ppl who don't really know sports just like to talk. Ppl still havent learned it doesn't matter what so callled classification you are or wherever you are from if you can play that particular sport well and do it as a team you have a chance to beat anybody. Never underestimate your opponent because you feel like your 6a and their 2a. But is their overall basketball game a 2a . Big Sandy would give alot of teams problems because just like in every sport its about matchups and which ones will be exploited. A la Golden St. , Boise St ,or Monmouth. Stop putting labels on these teams and watch them play thats the only thing that matters at the end of the day. CAN YOU PLAY...PERIOD...
