A lot of us former Jaguars were not happy about the season.  Central wasn't any world beaters but the teams always got out there and competed.  Some people are use to 2-8 seasons...
Todd Peterman was a top notch coach that applied but he didn't go to Antioch or Ozen with the current Superintendent.  He actually came down an interviewed, wanted the job but she wouldn't let him bring his OC and DC.  He would have had to use all the coaches already at the school.

And BINGO was his name-o.  I didn't and a 2-8 season proves you and me right.  The group of kids were better than 2-8 so you tell me where the problem lies...

Too be honest, I would have preferred that they would have hired one to be the head coach of United last year...

5A D1 a possibility. 

Easy win!

Beaumont United should stay 6A after the next realignment and if our district stays the same as it currently is...
Scrimmage #1:  Huntsville
Scrimmage #2: Crosby
Week 1:  Port Neches-Groves (Well we have the Bulldogs on the schedule, why not add the Indians?)
Week 2:  Nederland (they will always be a competitive opponent)   
Week3:  Port Arthur Memorial (Besides WB, the only other real rivalry for us)
 
No 6A competition but pretty tough 5A competition getting us ready for district.

His dad told me he will be starting at Safety...

Before the merger, to me like Soulja said, it was due to depth and offensive line play in my opinion.  Central matched up skill wise, just didn't have the size in the trenches.  I didn't follow Ozen so I can't speak on them.  I can't recall the final scores the last couple of times Central and WB played but if my memory serves me correct, I think 10 points or less separated them under TF.  Bring him back...

Agreed PNG should play: Beaumont United, Port Arthur Memorial & West Orange-Stark in preseason.  Indians would see it all, speed, tough defense & great athletes.  Preparing us for district play.

Spring game Bryce had his own package on offense. Pretty much Lil Rays package. Kid scored twice and lead his team to 4 tds. He also had a pick that ended the game and secured the win for his team

That's it.  But I'm definitely  not using that as an excuse,just offering up somewhat of explaining the dominance.   They just win.  Even on some of those barn burners with Central,  the one score games and such, WB still found ways to win.  Just wish that Ozen or Central could've found more success. United can, but if ET or AL leading the charge, those chances are downright bleak.  

Yeah, that is what I mean. If their combined enrollments didn't match West Brook, can you imagine what the disparity was for pre-merger Ozen and Central?

I don't think the student enrollment disparity that Soulja mentioned can't be overlooked. In fact, when Ozen and Central were merged to form United, their combined enrollment was still about 60 students short of West Brook's.

Yes.  Also factor in Brook is fresh off a state championship appearance and United is fresh off a 2 win season.

To the extent students/families have some choice as to which school to attend, I think there is something to be said for past successes providing an incentive for students to go to one school over another, which leads to that school being better in the future, which leads to more success later. I don't think this is the whole explanation, but I think it is a part of it.
If kids know that Westbrook tends to be more stable, organized, funded, supported, and has tended to win more games in the past, kids are more likely to (1) want to go, and (2) buy into whatever system Westbrook has that lead to that success, and then Westbrook has success, which cycles into students wanting to be there and buying into Westbrook's programs. If a school isn't like that, it's the same cycle, just in reverse. Though, I should add: This theory only makes sense to the extent students/families are choosing where to live based on what school they want to attend. There are definitely other things that go into what makes one school more consistently competitive than other schools, but this is one big one that I think helps explain part of it. 
 

Well, for almost over 2 decades, they've had the highest enrollment in Beaumont.  More kids to choose from.  Especially  when Ozen was created and Central  moved down a classification.   
Also, when coaching changes do happen,  seems that after Rhabb left, WB got the better coaches out of the picks.  Seems like the hiring criteria was different in the west end and the rest of town.   I remember prior to Central getting Foreman, I would always ask why Central or Ozen never interviewed White coaches but West Brook always seem to get a white coach.  
Finaly, there are pee wee leagues  all over the west end that give those kids a jump early.  Didn't have that on this side of I-10 until  recently.
In conclusion, I think the football games with two 6a schools will become more competitive  with wins going back and forth in the near future.

I agree, I'm staying positive for the kids and want them to experience some success.  The Seniors that were on the team that were from Ozen, never experienced the playoffs while in high school in any aspect of football.  The seniors that were on the team from Central hadn't experienced the playoffs since 2016 under TF and most of them were on JV that year.  In my opinion, there is no reason why United shouldn't have finished in the 3 or 4 spot except for one reason,...
Well every excuse was used to try and justify the 2-8 season, but one that won't be able to be used that I heard the most is that the staff and team hadn't even been together a year...

this one?

65 Days until football practice begins...
90 days until the Wolves travel to Houston St. Pius to try and redeem themselves.

It appears the rumors may be true. Based on the construction today at GCM, it looks like we are getting Turf baseball, softball, and football fields at each High School
