Nederland fans were just wondering why leave now? He could of done the same things this year at Nederland. Imagine Nederland with Ballou still here? I can't imagine the impact he would of made on the season if he would of stayed. Sad when I heard he left, could of been a special year, but at the same time I am happy he has found success and recognition. Hopefully he earns the recognition of some colleges to further his playing days as well as his academics.

Good for him. Glad he was successful at accomplishing his own personal goal while he left his teammates in his rear view mirror. Basketball is a team sport, and it always will be. For kids who seek individual accolades, golf and tennis may be more appropriate. As Baller93 stated, it could have been a real special year in Nederland had he stayed. He COULD have been the difference in finishing 1st, instead of 3rd. Even if Ned had won the district, I think the MVP would go to Miguez.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. He was the difference in his team finishing first. Jaylon got his MVP. Good luck to Miguez on getting his. PS I heard Jaylon's playing tennis this spring.

As a parent, it hurts to see how badly the team felt when he left. When all of the kids are looking at each other trying to figure out why he left was very disheartening.

Lol I could've swore Nederland fans said it wouldn't be that big a deal that he left. Now he's the difference in 1 and 3. 

Not sure who said it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Most of the Ned fan base knewDarrel would step up and do a good job as the point. We would have been a different team having Ballou and Jones on the court at the same time. Especially when we struggled to break the press against Ozen. That's where Ballou would have made a difference, IMO.

Those so called people or friends who supported and helped him are still shaking their heads why he decided to leave all the sudden without explanation.

Again I'm glad he found success and let's now leave this thread to praising the young man for his accomplishments and accolades. 

Congrats to Jaylan! Best of Luck in his future endeavors!

If the Ballou kid was such an "impact player" and couldve been the difference in Nederland finishing first instead of third place in district that assumption shouldve unanimously qualified him as the MVP.....All of this amounts to opinions, as always jmo...As this basketball season comes to a close its been fun and congrats to those moving on to the playoffs to represent 22-5A.....

      Is this true percentage-wise (per capita)? Or just raw numbers?

      Most "fans" have never coached a day in their life and don't understand. Hopefully H can pull it out of the ditch this year...

      Kids suffer because they have irresponsible parents who didn’t practice birth control. They use abortion for their control.

      Go live in a third world country then get back to me about the word “poor”…..you ll have a different perspective.  Your right a kid shouldn’t suffer for parents decisions, but that’s the world we live in created by those who don’t teach responsibility as well as handicapping by giving handouts.  Cause and effect.   Now yes there are people who are hit with some tragic unforeseen circumstances who need help to get back on their feet but that’s different then a habitual irresponsible lifestyle  fema is a totally different animal.  And it’s actually  something I’ve never had to deal with…..so I can’t really speak on it but I do know it’s a govt agency and most govt agencies are poorly ran.  Natural disasters have been part of this earth for a long time….way before fema came along and people have managed. said kids get taught by said parents that the govt owes them for their circumstances instead of seeing for what it really is and the lesson that should actually be taken from such a life…..”I’m not going to be like my parent or parents….im going to look at others as examples …..my teachers, my coaches, any aunts or uncles, relatives etc etc that are successful…..I’m going to work hard and smart and make good decisions and what bad decisions I do make I’m going to learn from.” Suffering is a great teacher.  This earthly place is temporary and many will suffer even the righteous and even children. Life on earth is not fair….its not a new concept. The good ole race card.  I’m not surprised. I feel the same way no matter the color.  Whites are just as guilty as any other race.  It’s not a race issue it’s a culture issue.  You have allowed color to guide your thought process…..is that what you were taught. how bout you check out the income of many of those politicians you vote for who care so much about kids.  They go in as an every day working citizens then come out millionaires off of shady deals, kickbacks and taxpayers backs. They keep promising y’all false promises and you keep falling for it….bidens been doing it for over 40 years. i just wasted time on this reply because you are not hearing any of it……..you want handouts with no accountability. .sorry to the posters who wasted their time reading this…..it got off topic.
