But according to some, they will beat United next time by 15.

I’ve also read some posts on here by some regulars (earlier this season) how they were much better this year without Hefner.  An unselfish, high major kid.  And that doesn’t even factor in the other seniors who were really valuable pieces.  Talk about looking at a record without looking at a team...

IMO...This years team is just as good as last years team. This years team plays better over all defense and they share the ball better than the team last year. Last years team did better with the press with the help of Hefner. The problem at the moment as compared to earlier games this year is that Gipson is in a funk. He hasn’t played very well. When he’s in a grove then you have the inside and outside threat with him and Jackson and this becomes a different team. With that said, there not beating a BU or Crosby team even with everyone playing to there potential however they can beat a BH or Memorial team if they are. 3rd, 4th and 5th is up for grabs but If Gipson can’t get out of his slump Nederland will finish 5th.

Ned being exposed from weak early schedule. When is last time they didn’t make playoffs? It’s tough to contend with poor guard play and 1 scorer. The greatest coach to ever live can’t win when his team has a marked gap in talent to other teams. And a team full of “dribble dribble pass” or “dribble turn over” role players...the early record masked the true identity of this team apparently

Some people on a previous thread indicated that Coach English was a good X's and O's coach and would have lead Yates too several championships but his team losses at home to an OK Barbers Hill Team by 20 smh  

He is a great coach and does more with his teams with less talent than anyone. Take Boute for example at Westbrook. He has a championship pedigree at Lincoln and to some the greatest coach ever but he’s getting it handed to him now. Why is that? Same coach but different results. It’s all about the talent you have to work with. IMO.. You give English the talent of Lincoln and Yates, yeah he wins a state title.

They don’t understand what you’re selling.  When you can recruit the 3rd biggest city in the country and only play at the third highest level (4A)  in said state, it doesn’t take Coach K to win some championships.

I disagree about Nederland this year compared to last year. I don't see this team anywhere close to last year. They had a bigger team last year that could rebound and play tough inside. This year they are small and no one that can take over a game. Years past they have had a guard that can get to the basket and get shots for himself and others. Gibson is just an outside shooter that don't create for others. Yes if he is hitting his shot they will do ok but he plays very timid when the pressure is on him. I've seen several games where he don't score or only has a bucket at the half. When you have a team that don't have much scoring you need more out of the 2 that can score. I know English likes this team but I completely disagree that this team is anywhere near last years team. Last year Hefner would get double and triple teamed leaving guys wide open to shoot. You don't have that this year. Teams know if they take Tyler away they don't have any other confident shooters.  After that butt kicking Tuesday their confidence was shaken. I expect English to get them together soon and turn this around. Maybe a 4th place finish in district this year.

    • Or a less lethal option would be to have law enforcement yell improper pronouns at them...they'd scatter like sheep. I still prefer your way, lol.
    • I ve seen this done in several other countries.  And in those countries it happens very lil because of the severity of the consequences.   I saw a video of other world leaders ask “why does America allow such destructiveness” when all the civil unrest was happening because a criminal/criminals were killed  by not following commands.     we have a great system in place but it’s been compromised and we could still learn from other countries.
    • I am out of VOTES, but I will give a BIG AMEN!!!!
    • You start opening fire and drop about 10 or 12 of these protesting morons it will break up pretty quick.    This ties in with killing the chicken killing dog.
    • This is an easy one. We have let grifter unqualified coaches infiltrate our children and convince them that they will be D1 athletes if they only focus on a single sport. We've got kids, with single digit ages, playing their sport year-round to "maximize exposure" despite the fact that most college coaches on the recruiting trail will value a multisport athlete. This translates to the school year and ends up with kids being football, basketball, baseball only kids. Track is pretty much the only one left that keeps kids playing other sports and that's primarily because football coaches demand their football kids be track athletes. I literally talked to a man last night, who just moved to Texas from Oklahoma who was telling me his kid played on two different football teams during the season last year. One for his school, one for his select league. During the week the kid was a RB for his school, and on the weekends, he was a QB for his select team. This would equal 7 days a week of full contact football for a 6th grader......6th grader. Once that ends, rolls straight into 7 on 7 for the spring and back to football in the summer. All this for a kid, who seems to be a good athlete, but probably has a ceiling of D2 at best, if he doesn't burn out before that. Parents are silly and think they can develop their kids into being the next Quinn Ewers, but they completely miss the biggest factor in creating that type of athlete.....genetics. Genetics are undefeated. Always have been, always will be. Play sports because you love to compete then compete in everything you do. Quit giving bullsheet rings to "state champions" every single weekend all over the US and get back to valuing team championships won at the community level to build the continuity when they are young. This is the only way to reestablish the pride once felt by every kid in every town across Texas when they got to put on a uniform with their school colors. Otherwise, we can kiss the magic of high school sports goodbye.
