Our district will have two teams in the regional tourney and the Hawks won a less than stellar game with some very good free throw shooting toward the end of the game The bad news: 1. the coin flip theory of faninthestands worked ( although I was  somewhat correct in voicing my concern about the game  2.  I have to pay Soulja $20 for the Ozen- Central game and I have to pay Dicky V $100 for the Ozen game. 3.  The dunk-o-meter never moved tonite  Just remember our agreement Soulja, you are going to collect both bets so I dont have to face Dicky [/quote] Hey Nash, PayPal  is the BOMB!!!!!!!!!!

[quote name="Dove Hunter" post="1189464" timestamp="1330613020"] Pretty sure that the Admin at HF and the students live on this board, therefore, it is hard to build any school pride or commitment, even when disgruntled parents move their kids they continue to spew their negative vibes to the kids that attend HF.  Parents that want, I think, for their kids to be successful get on here and undermine the coaches and parents that have turned tail and ran want to make sure program does not succeed without their babies on the roster.  Read other schools post when they lose in playoffs they rarely complain about coach and cheer on the student athletes.  Only positive thing is their is only one HF in the golden triangle and it is where all disgruntled parents seem to happy to air their incomplete thoughts on line as if anyone cares about a school that has had turnover in Football and both basketball programs.  Hey maybe this is all for the best, I can tell you that it hurts to read all the negative words that adults that have jobs that can't be arm chair analyzed every week get on here and tear down any hope for success by undermining the coaches at HF especially if you cut bait and pulled your kids out leave HF topics alone you left for greener pastures and HF has moved on why don't you? [/quote] Let me also include/add: I could have sworn I gave Coach Neal props for a job well-done and the HF team this year for making playoffs. ;)

And kids still have to be won over. I think several freshmen were headed to Ozen and changed their minds near the end of the summer to attend Central. The rumor was that they had a better chance of playing varsity there.

I hope HJ  or Silsbee wins State. I get tired of mentioning HJ and nobody knows where its located. Will give me a window of opportunity to brag this summer. :o

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1189445" timestamp="1330611531"] D1 is not JC where is he now..... [/quote] As I stated, "major D-1 talent in basketball." Other factors besides athletic talent are included to attend a D-1 school. ;)

Yep, Sleepy gets to join me and CATMAN in an exclusive club of soothsayers.  ;D

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1189432" timestamp="1330611280"] just having one D1 talent isn't going to win you a state title.... Plus isn't he at a JC [/quote] I was only clarifying that Ozen had a recent true D-1 a several years ago. Nothing to do with winning State ;)

I love it!!!

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1189417" timestamp="1330610749"] to all you ozen fanatics Bou was a great coach but he also had Perkins and several other D1 players on his team. So without perkins they don't win state. Yall act like because they had some very successful years there that it should be that way every year.  Players like that come every so often.  YOu can't win state every year. Lets be honest OZEN hasn't had any legit D1 players in several years, so guess what your not going to win state.....yall wanna blame the coach but heck he can only play the players that come out for the team. IF saveat had perkins and those players yall would be saying he was a great coach...... IN two to three years OZEN will win district and they will have a team good enough to make a state run.... [/quote]I think DeCarlos Frank as far as basketball talent had major D-1 talent, and he was with Ozen; what about 2 years ago?

[quote name="pete092775" post="1189390" timestamp="1330609820"] This goes out to the ozen players that are reading this site. As i said in past post it isnt who wins district as much as it is who goes deep into the playoffs. Just remember everyone downed ya and your coach in the beginning but ya are the only ones left playing must feel pretty good and it should. Actions are louder than words. So with that said bring the fight to their door step in katy friday night boys. [/quote]And Saveat & his team out coached the Nederland crew. very good game plan.  ;)

A blast from the past!!!! Could not resist this one!!!

I'd like to go to a Nederland/Ozen thread just one time and actually read about Nederland and Ozen. There's so much to say to "DV", about "DV" and from "DV", start a thread about "DV" PLEASE (heck that thread would probably cause a malfunction to this site). Congratulations to Nederland for all of their accomplishments and good luck to Ozen in the next round (we're going to need it). And again this is only IMO!!!!!!!  Ok I'm off my soapbox now, my apologies  :) [/quote] No sir..Don't want a thread about ME!!  ;D...Somehow though when I post about ANYTHING, posters have a tendency to steer it that way...I just talk basketball... ;) [/quote] Why do you think the above happens?  Did some of these people gather somewhere and say, "let's find a poster that we don't like and try to cause him as much trouble as possible"?  Or could it possibly be that you might have something to do with it?  Who else are they going after besides you?  If we can find another person that they treat the same way, it will be fairly easy to come up with a reason. [/quote] Possibly I am the only poster that speaks his mind on topics, tells the truth about his assessments, and being that bold, [b]am one of the few who most people know my real name...Thus, the personal attacks[/b]. Maybe THATS it. [/quote] *brushes off dust of soap box* You know even though it is hard to admit i am truly seeing where dickie is coming from. Yes he could've phrased certain posts in a better way at times but name a poster on here that hasn't been guilty of the same thing. Heck i know i have. And i also know what its like to be personally known on this board and when people know who you are they seem to jump on you a lot more and the attacks get very personal and (no offense to yall on here that haven't released your identity on here) if you haven't been a member on this forum that has let your identity known you really don't know what its like. It can get pretty bad. It got so bad for me i had to get off here for a while and create a new account. But again this is just my opinion. Dickie i would like to apologize for the personal attacks i have made towards you and anything else that i have done that wasn't warranted at the time. *jumps off soap box* 8) [/quote] I outta [s]whitemail[/s]  ......errrr [s]blackmail[/s] ...errr expose you. ;D

Ozen's # 11 on English was huge. Ozen's D was the big reason for all the missed shots. 2. Weisbrod driving inside was effective. 3. Refs let them play. Great Game [/quote]100% CORRECT! But let me add something. Weisbrod challenged the smaller guys when he drove. The smaller Ozen players could have taken several charges instead of trying to block his shot attempts. Could have put him in foul trouble. [/quote] Would not have mattered. The refs called a very loose game. In the middle of the 4th, Ned had 9 fouls to Ozen's 8. Ned ended up with 22 total, but that's bc we were forced to foul at the end. Had they tried to draw a foul on a charge, I don't think they would have called it on Weisbrod. Too bad Ned didn't play with the same intensity and sense of urgency as they showed in the 4th Q of the game lat night. If we play like that (very similar to Dayton game) for four Qs, I think the Bulldogs would be the team advancing. However, we came out scared of a team who we play at least twice a year. [/quote] nederland looked scared coming out last night. The pg didn't look comfortable inthe beginning while handling the ball. And yes, the refs would have called a charge against a 6'4"  post barreling down a poor defensive 5'9" guard ( Taking a charge! a lost art?) Nah, been seeing some pros still do it. Just wonder if its still being taught in h.s.?

[quote name="homeless" post="1189015" timestamp="1330547017"] this could be another playoff run like a couple of yrs ago when they were so dominant. I spoke recently to a couple of Krueger-Clear Creek players from waaaaay back braqging how they "held" one of those great Wheatley teams down: "They beat us by less than anyone else that year" [/quote] lol! Dwight Jones, Alan Batro, Spider-Man era, or was that Jerry Bonney's team?
