Exactly, but safe to say those are great teams that we went toe to toe with. Just gotta learn how to close out games and we can compete with the best of them. Those games will help us out come district and playoff time. 

Final:
Nederland 75
Katy Tompkins 70
@tylerjackson_11 31 pts 9 rebs, @HaydenHefner5 21 pts 5 rebs

2:50 remaining in half. Ned up 46-34

Nederland missed a lot of layups i think that decided the game. Is Hefner injured or coming off of an injury. He should’ve taken the game over best player in the gym I really wanted him to score every trip down ,but he’s so unselfish it’s frustrating lol. Of course in a good way!!!

A little outside the norm.  The winner of the dunk-o-thon loses the game.  🤷🏾‍♂️

OVERTIME!
43-43

End 3rd
45-31 Nederland

Nederland will play winner of Lufkin/PN-G, about to tip off, tomorrow at 11:30...got a lot of purple on the floor 🤢

Tyler made noticeable upgrades in his game over the summer. Kid is playing great right now...averaging 30 a game in the Classic shooting 70% and challenging other teams shots around the bucket 

That long and skinny kids name is Tyler Jackson and he’s the best post player on the team. He is currently killing Sharpstown. Ned up 51 to 31 with 6 mins left in the 4th.  

Nederland's team as a whole will be much better in the long run for playing without Hefner for a bit.  And they'll need to be because PA is a monster and Barbers Hill seems much better than anticipated.  I think the long, skinny post has really improved.

Who can forget Triple A academy a few years back with 5 division 1 kids playing in the 1A division.  Stole a state title from Mumford.  

I think many of us have stated pretty much the same views over the past several years.  Even though my Tigers have been the standard the last few years, I still have fealt that overall a school such  as Silsbee having to compete with some of these big city “small” schools is not quite an equal playing field.

Faith Family in the UIL state tournament is a joke.  The head coach was the head coach at Cedar Hill and FF offered him 6 figures to come over and allowed him to bring his whole staff.  Guess what...Cedar Hill players followed.  This is why you havent heard from Cedar Hill lately.  It is fitting that FF and Yates have to play each other and a sign of the sad sad state of UIL basketball.  And that is before you get to Madison being in the 3A tournament which is an even bigger joke.  HISD and DISD use their open enrollment status and “magnet programs” to manipulate their enrollments.  FF has about 200 kids in the school.....but 10 of them just happen to be good enough to get to the 4A state tournament?  Please.  It is becoming a joke what all is allowed and a shame.  It is ruining high school basketball.

Only thing I hate for SeTx schools.  Smaller (relatively) schools I mean.  It seems like there is an ingrained idea that you can just fly around and scare the other team into turning it over (Kountze, HJ, Silsbee, EC).  That may have definitely been the case in the past but now eventually you'll run into just a sound basketball team.  When forced into a halfcourt basketball game with a good basketball team it usually doesn't end well.  I know people will say that Silsbee had great success with it, and that's true, but with that amount of talent it probably didn't matter.  

Dawg fan here....
 
Very painful loss!!!
 
Friendswood played with lots of heart and fight, not trying to say they wanted it more but in the end they won.
 
Good luck in the next round, we’ll be  rooting for ya, Good Luck!

Kaiden DuBose 8p,9r
Tyrone Waggoner 9p,7r
Logan Risinger 3p,3r

I think we may be Bi-Polar! 

37-32. 3 mins left
I wish Ned would of scored like this in the 4th against PAM

Just when we thought PNG was becoming a basketball school... good win for Vidor! They have some talent and their district record shocks me to be honest.

Sorry... I’ve been waiting a while to say that.

I will say this....  I know Memorial has a great defense.  He did good against a team of this caliber...  Maybe next time they'll take them in Nederland.

Make FTs, we win. Not typical of this team to shoot so poorly at the charity stripe
