I also said PNG scoring 35-42 and Nederland scoring 7-14 I missed Nederland by 2

No I said either 2-8 or 3-7 because I missed Dayton game. I did not realize at the time how weak Dayton was going to be, so yes my 3-7 turned to 4-6 and 4-7 after the bi- district loss I will say I missed my initial prediction by 1 game the 2-8 prediction was based on if they lost to SF and the 3-7 was if they beat SF looks like you may have misread my post

PAM just thought they were going to be district champs

I told everyone on this site that Nederland had finished playing the weak sisters and would finish 4-3 district and 4-7 after they get hammered in bi-district You simply need to pay attention to my posts because they 98 or 99 percent accurate

Both coaches have to agree on officials So they get the crew they agreed on If they can’t agree the crew is selected by the UIL cant blame the game on officials, PNG is just a much better team

It is definitely a combination of quality coaching and having good athletes in most cases I have seen some teams do well year in and year out with average talent. Examples East Chambers and Orangefield Both schools have very good coaching I have also seen teams do very well with Larry’s and Joe’s, who overcome weak coaching. Examples PAM and FBM I also have seen teams do well with good coaching and good players who are smart and make few mistakes Examples Alamo Heights, Alexis, SLC, Austin Westlake I have also seen teams with supposedly very good talent, be extremely poor so to bad coaching and players that are not very intelligent Example Dallas Cowboys In conclusion you need good coaching, good players, and an excellent system to be successful

Nederland has beaten all the weak sisters they played this season with the exception being WOS when the defense shut it down in the 4th quarter. The weak sisters are done and now they finish with good teams, so I believe these next 3 games will have a very similar outcome as the Silsbee and PAM games where it wasn’t even close

Great job by Rangers 11 runs on 15 hits Astros 4 runs on 12 hits 2 of the 4 were HR’s ahows what a poor job of hitting with risp big difference tonight Rangers pitching staff for the most part stayed ahead in the count and Astros pitching staff stayed behind in count

Off season. These 3 Astros pitchers either need to go back to triple A or be traded Fransis, Montero, Stanek Pena is a good SS but can’t hit, I would start Dubon who can hit at SS The other guy that is overrated is McCormick average OF’er but can’t hit

Pretty simple Rangers have a good hitting club and your pitchers can’t get ahead in the count, your going to get clobbered what a lousy series of hitting by McCormick, Maldonado, Peña, and Tucker at least 1 team from Texas in WS. Hopefully they will win it

I am thinking PNG 35 or 42 Nederland 7 maybe 14

Hard to win when you struggle hitting with men on base. Poor at bats with bases loaded by Dubon and the pinch hitter Singletary I question Baker on starting Valdez who has been miserable his last 3 starts and if I was GM Montero and Stanek would be gone as soon as off season begins. Those 2 have been bad all season Tucker and Peña have had an awful series at the plate I thought it might go 7 games

If PAM keeps playing defense the way they are BH has a good chance to win

Another nice win that was expected now 4-4 and 4-1 in district playoffs this season

This year PNG in a blow out

PNG will win by about 21. Nederland’s defense and special teams are simply poor

I understand what you are saying however Tic Price’s teams were more competitive than Brooks teams have been. Hopefully they will be better this year

We will see if they are better, however I think it will be tough with Brooks leading the way

Wow did they get rid of Brooks

Football team is doing much better hope they keep it up. Don’t know about new AD yet. He did not get rid of baseball, basketball, and softball coaches that are simply bad Hopefully he will see the light and get rid of them. Looks like a good hire for football

Game 2 came down to 2 things not scoring with bases loaded and no outs when you’re not hitting with runners on base you are not going to win too many Baker’s mistake pitching Valdez that has been bad the last few starts

Nice thought but rest assured it is not happening. Nederland loses to PNG and TC They simply can’t get it done on defense and special teams and I will be very surprised if they score more than 7 vs PNG and more than 14 vs TC

All 3 phases of the game are important Nederland’s offense- much improved from last season; defense- possibly a fraction better ( DL better, LB’ers fair, secondary still as bad as last year); special teams- not good at all add this up and you will know why they will finish 4-3 in district and 4-6 non district and district and 4-7 after 1 and done in playoffs

If this happens and Marshall wins out Nederland will be the 4 seed at 4-3 in district That means Dayton loses to Marshall-3 losses and TC will also beat Dayton PNG 7-0 TC 6-1 FBM 5-2 Ned 4-3

If Nederland beats GP they will be the 4 seed unless Dayton beats Marshall by 5 or less, then the Bulldogs will be 3 seed and Dayton 4 seed
