PAM turned up the pressure, they must have read my post at Halftime 🤣🤣🤣! PAM 30-26, end of 3rd

Nederland controlling the tempo, PAM need to apply more pressures. When Nederland rush they make mistakes. Nederland up 20-14, Halftime

I like the lefty from Nederland, he have a good shot form. Nederland came to play tonight. 18-5 4 mins left I. The 2nd

8-3 Nederland end of 1st. Slow start for PAM, but I only imagine they will pick it up as the game goes.

First timeout, 4-0 Nederland. 3:52 remaining in the 1st! Nice crowd out tonight.

Whoa is right, didn’t see this coming. I was at the Sterling/BH game, smh I went to the wrong one.

I let a 10 point player go and I am losing games with district implication by less than 10 points, you do the math! You guys follow Bball, you know how hard its to get a HS player to average 10-15 PPG! I know the kid that left this year personally and I sort of questioned his playing style/shot selection when he was a freshman. He played for this coach on the JV and Varsity teams and he tolerated this playing style. But now as senior you want to put him on a tight leash and show displeasure of his playing style. Well the coach turned a blind eye in 9th, 10th and 11th grade, but now as a senior his playing style is intolerable. SMH

Of course I am not gonna say for certain, but I do have some quality sources in the district admin bldg. The PG that left in 22 was involved in some internal teams issues/disputes etc..... The PG that left this year was supposedly a coach and player difference of playing styles. But I couldn't imagine as a coach letting players that can get buckets go to other school to sit on the bench and not be qualified. I may be coincidental but the last 2 years in a row players (starters) departed to become ineligible at other school. Coaches should be cultivating talent. Per the state of Crosby's team they could have been used, but you know the DEC nor UIL wasn't having that.....

Of course we won’t ever know 🤣🤣, but if you lose a player that’s averaging at least 10 points per game and the team lose by 2 in double OT 🤷🏾. Watched that kid for a couple years and no one could keep him out the paint. Points are hard to come by in HS (lot of low scores nowadays) and for a coach to let players that average 10 points go is amazing. These players are leaving as seniors, not underclassmen. Therefore the coaches tolerated whatever they didn’t like for a couple years 🤷🏾. Seem like they cultivated the problem(s) and as seniors pushed them out. As a senior a player is no longer serviceable (for the future) to coaches, because they graduating.

2 years in a row GCM lost a "point guard" as a transfer to Crosby, although they didn't play at Crosby those players could have contributed to GCM success. Hard as it is to get decent players, for the life of me I can't understand how one school keep losing decent players. Each one of those players would have given the team at least 10 points every game. If they had that PG (Avant Coleman) last year, GCM beat BU and goes to state! SMH!!

This loss can also have serious playoffs implications for GCM, this would push them down to 3rd place. Now in the first round they will have to play the opposing district #2 seed versus a lower seed. Making it past the 1st round this year will be harder.

So when you say team, I assume you are referring to the coaches🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, because the kids are only doing what they are allowed to do 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️. They have a height and athleticism advantage over most district opponents, yet they keep shooting 3 pointers. Can’t make this stuff up.

Nederland basically had control the entire game. This game might make it hard for Crosby to compete for that 4th seed. They are definitely not the Crosby of old.
