Nederland over Ozen. 

Nederland over Ozen. 

I remember when everyone thought the PA merger would create a powerhouse.

As i stated to Mr.Shapiro kids or parents cannot get in their feelings. 15 Man roster for varsity that’s it , 12-15 for both JV A/B,same for freshman. The true question is how many of the those kids are varsity level players especially if you a junior on jv aometimes the writing is on the wall not for all but for some it is. The truth is unless kids are putting in the work during the summer they will get left behind period point blank. I hear ppl talking about scholarships how many guys have earned a scholarship from all 3 Bmt schools in the last 5 yrs. if you do a breakdown it seems like a lot but you can be fooled by so called talent. Last year only 3 kids from any of the Bmt schools went on to play college ball. Here is a very harsh reality about HS . No matter how many points certain players score, it may not ever translate in to playing  Juco,NAIA,D1,D2 or D3.  Ppl may not like it, but it’s the absolute truth.

The dunk-o-meter will be going wild!!

Yes, we're going to need a special autographed dunk-o-meter

Good road win for the Dogs! Dogs have the inside track to the final playoff spot at the moment.

End of 3rd Q:
Nederland 32
Vidor 34

Ned is led by a sophomore that doesn’t have a lot of help around him, but I know you love to hate him. He’s very unselfish and doesn’t force things often. Very solid player, but I think his best days are certainly junior and senior season. His first game vs the “Big 3” wasn’t a very good game for him, but he scored 15 with 6 boards and he was the only one to register on the dunk-o-meter that night. Ned only scored in the 30’s that night. Ned will have a lot of close games and a 3rd or 4th place district finish, but the kid will continue to improve. Hope to see him add some weight in the next 2.5 years though!

Sorry, I don't use Geico Insurance and I don't associate with Neanderthals...

See, a little bit of effort and you can answer your own questions.
So easy, even.............

Nederland is doing the right thing for their kids this year. They're young. Next year I'm sure they step up a little bit. 
But that's not to say the teams they're playing are push overs. They're at or a few notches above the teams they have to beat to make the playoffs.  
Playing PA Ozen and Central twice will get them ready for the playoffs.

I understand what your saying but gaining a lil confidence doesn’t guarantee anything.throwing em to the wolves every now and then can’t hurt either,,just my opinion!!!

You have to keep in mind that this team has 2 returning starters from last year on a 4th place team in district. Only 4 letterman returning. One of those starters/lettermen was a Freshman last year. Young teams like this need confidence to thrive early in the year to prepare them for district. Basketball is a 60% mental game/40% talent, IMO. These kids can gain confidence by winning and that confidence can go a long ways once district begins. Had This team played in a HOUSTON tournament this year, it is likely they would have been 2 and done and depleted in confidence  
If this was a team from 4-7 years ago, I would completely agree with you. If you remember those teams from 4-7years ago played a lot of Houston area teams and played in ‘Bigger’ tournaments, competed, and beat a lot of them. 

Final:
ned 54

Good Luck this evening to Nederland. I had a chance to watch Nixon this morning, they were impressive. Uptempo style, shoots ALOT of 3's. 

Well, regardless if it is about them or not, I hate that coaches have so much power. It is one thing if a kid is still living in your district and just going to a school outside where they live for athletic purposes. But, if a parent decides they need to move their child for whatever reason, and picks up and moves the entire family, then a coach should sign off on the PAPF. 

I’m not gonna get into that on a public forum,but If it is about the kid that I think,it has nothing to do with playing varsity,it’s all about What’s wrong and what is right.When someone sales a home and buys a new home in a differant city for various reasons a kid shouldn’t be held accountable for a family decision..especially when it is beneficial to the well being of kid!!

that is the only way y'all beat nederland........

I hope he hit another 28, except against Ozen

Heard rumors he was a redshirt his first year, and is now a fifth year senior.  Probably some bad info, right?
