Who's brilliant idea was this to create a Southeast Texas all-star game for the player's who didn't make the TABC's roster? There are already too many "empty" awards being created/issued out to player's just for the sake of keeping some former coach or AD's names relevant and now this. If the sole purpose of this is to generate scholly funds or one more opportunity for the unsigned to be seen then kudo's but if neither of those two intentions come to fruition exactly what was the purpose for creating this? [/quote] There will be four scholarships awarded for the basketball games. [/quote] Further description of the 4 scholarships is in order, such as amount of each, duration as in one-time or repetitive, etc.  I don't see this all star game generating a whole big amount of revenue net of expenses. ??? [/quote] Call me crazy but I don't believe this. My son played in this game and he enjoyed it. I told him from the start it was a privilege to be selected and to go out and have fun although he has no desire to play basketball on the next level. The amount of the scholarship is irrelevant and no my son wasn't the recipient but I'm sure the recipient was grateful. Every bit helps regardless of who you are.

Just when I thought I was done with football smh

Congratulations to the Panthers Girls and Boys Track team on winning district. Also congratulations to all who qualified for area, good luck!

I'm not sure where BISD's head was and all we can do at this point is wait and see. The kids aren't buying into it too much either...in a conversation from this weekend I heard "8-22, we've won more than that" and other things along that line. There's a long road ahead for Ozen. Good luck Panthers! On another note, VY's interaction with the kids at the track meet was rather impressive smh....

Smh....I had the pleasure of meeting some Crosby folks at various college visits and camps and I am thankful to say that not everybody from Crosby has the mentality of the admin or cougar14. I'm not sure what points he thinks he's making because in actuality he seems to be spewing a deeper hole of ________. I've always said that 1 fan can make it impossible to wish the kids well. In both cases I would have much rathered Crosby to win state so that I could at least come back with "we lost to the state chamipons" but I'm glad that didn't happen because his head would have exploded. 

Dang BG already lol... Soulja I actually met the coach today at the track meet. He seems like a pretty good dude. His interaction with the kids today looked good, just may be a step in the right direction.

Congratulations to all of the kids selected. A big shout out to Alex "Ducc" Williams.

I wonder what excuse he'll come up with now? I guess its safe to say my prediction was right about 20-4A wasn't it? I've been saying all year that the playoffs would prove everything I've been saying about 20-4A this year....sooooo with that said I rest my case  8) [/quote] I'm here.  I'm here, Sir.  True, the third round was the demise of 20-4a this year, but could this been seen as a 'double edged sword'? Could it be that Crosby is very good?  They  are district Co-district,t champions, you know.  Could it be that Georgetown is very good?  They took down a talented Central bunch and then took down a good Nederland team (who did beat your panthers may I add).  Georgetown was prepared for a fast pace game vs. Central and a few days later (yesterday), was prepared for a slow down game vs Nederland that ,according to a lot of Nederland fans INCLUDING my Nederland contact, was the best possible matchup for them (they didn't want Central for a 3rd time).  Only time will tell, my fellow Beaumontonian (is that even a word?  Lol).  If Crosby or Georgetown make it to the regional final or the state simi's, then your point WON'T be proven....but at that point, you'll try to say, 'lets see if they can win a state title', right?  8) 8)  So please keep 'your case' restless. [/quote]I figured you'd try to come to nederland and Ozen rescue...all yesterday proved is that Nederland and Central weren't that good neither was Ozen and also that Saveat is a terrible coach and in due time BISD will realize it and get Ozen a worthy coach...my predictions were more than correct you called me crazy for criticizing 20-4a and Ozen all year and now who looks like they don't have credibility on this forum? And to say crosby and georgetown are good is blasphemy I'd like to see the results of their next game. I rest my case lol  8) [/quote] Gosh darn it ozensfinest....you did say you were an alumn of Ozen, didn't you? I can't speak for Nederland or Central because I don't have a dog in that fight. Now as far as Ozen is concerned I am not Saveat's biggest fan but in all due respect he didn't miss the free throws last night. He did what a coach should do, he along with his assistants, saw where we were at the half and you better believe they made the adjustments at halftime. At the rate we were going, it appeared as though Crosby was going to waltz out of Lee with the victory. Why must you get on here and discredit what those boys did all season? That group of young men gave it their all and played their hearts out all season and especially in the playoffs. Sure a state championship would be great but at the end of the day I don't think any less of those kids that put in the work on and off the court.   

Hard fought battle for my Panthers, free throws make a difference. Great season boys!

[quote name="cougar14" post="1379966" timestamp="1361926164"] ozen looks like they have more here than the football game. [/quote] Get off my team  ;)

The game was so good Friday, I completely forgot. Then I was so nervous I was shaking and couldn't log in, I had to call somebody to give them the scores to post. I'll try to do better.  ;D

Did I read that correctly? OMG!! [/quote] If that happens they may as well play UIL games at the local YMCA's! They already allow way too many teams in the playoffs, and we all know who they did that for.... ::) ::) [/quote]Who would that be DV? [/quote] Come on man...That 4th place playoff spot was designed SPECIFICALLY for the PNG's, the Orangefield's, the Bridge City's, and the LCM's of the world...The UIL was sick of seeing the same "inner city" schools in the playoffs and Johnny Suburb had to only watch...Now...EVERYBODY gets a ribbon! (in the playoffs) ::) ::) ::) Dove is right...Its WATERED DOWN the playoffs in football and basketball...How many 4th place teams WON the region? ZERO. Its just another oppurtunity for the schools to purchase shirts that say "PLAYOFFS" ::) ::)...Sickening... >:( [/quote] I have very bad memory....though this isn't the football thread - was Ozen the 3rd or 4th spot last year and went how far? Trust me I know they weren't named State Champs but....

[quote name="ozensfinest" post="1379696" timestamp="1361904374"] This loss only proves what I've been saying about 20-4A district all year its WEAK and the only reason Ned and Ozen(even though I'm an alumni I'm also realistic) are still in the playoffs are because they haven't played any top notch opponents and when that happens they'll lose. Mind you I predicted that no 20-4A team would make it to regionals this year although Ozen might make it because they should beat Crosby...and also predicted that central would lose due to the the fact that they'd get out coached. [/quote] Ozensfinest, I have agreed with some things and I've disagreed with some things. There's not too many in this forum that could have had as many negative thoughts about Ozen than me, I guess I just never really voiced them. True Central didn't have the season alot of people wanted or envisioned and I for one was ready for basketball to be over for my Panthers but all in all the Jaguars had a phenominal season and I look for them to come back even stronger next year.

I was hoping I would be able to catch this game but my mama duties come first so I'll be heading to Lee College. Good luck to the Tigers!

Great job Panthers! I may be kinda biased but anybody that knows me knows I'm his worst critic. Big ups to Jakobi and Ducc for their senior leadership last night. Jakobi has impressed me the last 2 games finally being who the coaches have asked him to be. Great job Panthers!
