You deserve it by winning more district games. I'm not a fan of 4 teams in the playoffs in a district with 8 teams. It teaches mediocrity. Three should be the max , IMO, in a district with 8 teams, and 2 teams with a 6 team district. Sure it's great that Ozen is doing well, but I bet there are not many other 4th place teams still in the playoffs. It's more the exception than the rule. Growing up, I can never remember being excited in the 100m dash when I finished in 4th place out of 8 runners. [/quote] Fellas, I don't think the issue is sending so many teams. It's the fact that Texas has so many kids in school it's hard demographically to make districts that are fair travel and otherwise to all the teams. It's either we take 4A and make two divisions out of it or we make 4A or add more As on the top end (7A?) and the teams travel across the state according to their size. There are a heck of a lot more kids and schools now than there were in the 70s when I was a kid. It's no more unrealistic now than when we (Vidor) had to play in a 5A district in the 90s when we had the same number of kids as PNG or Nederland. We played in 4 team districts in the 70s. Simple math. [/quote] I understand where you're coming from with travel and all, but back when you and I played, only the best team (s) made it to the playoffs, and it made it so that every game in district was important. Football (and sports in general) teach kids how to approach life. For example, I've observed a lot of young kids who want to work a 30 hour week and get paid a 40 hour week. Just look at the direction our country is going. I know AAW, we are suppose to discuss this in the political forum-sorry.  8) For me, it's more about the bigger picture...Again, JMO.

[quote name="invictus" post="1124514" timestamp="1321741824"] A win is a win! [/quote] I agree, but our offense has got to be more productive. Every once in a while, you need your 'O' to win a game or two for you and not rely on your defense all of the time.

A ranked Freshman? How can a Freshman be ranked if they've never played a HS sport? If that's the case, I don't think that's good for a young kid to get that much attention. I don't know this kid, but I have seen many young men who are Fresh/Soph who receive a lot of attention early in their HS careers who get the 'Big Head' syndrome. They stop working hard, and a lot of times they stop playing team ball. It usually hurts other kids/teams around him.

The Golden Triangle is representin'!

Is this true? [/quote] Yes, it is. [/quote] That really sux. Is there anything else we should know about Aldine stadium? [/quote] Conroe ISD uses metal detectors as well at Woodforest Stadium in The Woodlands. I think it's becoming more common in the Houston area. Just a matter of time before it reaches SETX.

'Da Magazine' also commented on their predictions for district 20-4A(as well as all districts), and mentioned the Hunter brothers moving in to Beaumont Ozen from Hamshire Fannett. I guess you read that article BlueDove?

[quote name="SETEXRIDER" post="1116535" timestamp="1321187013"] Ozen over BH is not an upset. You cant look at the records and scores and go off of that. Ozen has some great athletes on that team. [/quote] I would say it was an upset. A 4th place team beating a 1st place team.

People have been questioning Vidor all year, and they get respect from nobody no matter who they beat. I know the game is far from over, but to say they can't handle speed is absurd.  >:(
