Tyler Dixson

Ozen basketball will always have a good/great team. This doesn't really affect them. I feel terrible for the football and baseball team though. I know the football team has ALOT of talent but no depth. Most going both ways. That is common at the 4a level. Some 5as do it but generally it either means you have a D1 athlete (Rodney Randle) or you have no other choice. They would compete and make playoff runs in 4a. They won't sniff the playoffs in 5a. Like someone else said they can play WB and Central in non-district play. Heck they play WB every year anyways so just replace the out of state game with Central and you still get the two BMT schools and PAM. I feel bad for the athletes at Ozen who just need a chance to compete against shhool a with there numbers. Smh BISD.

It won't affect the Ozen basketball program but as for football, they won't make the playoffs in 2016 or 2017.  Remember I said it even with Tyler returning.  It really isn't fair to the kids in my opinion.  They could have still played Central and West Brook in pre-district games.  I think the drop would have done great things for the student body at the school in the various extracurricular activities...

If we are talking Silsbee at full strength...  I think the Silsbee/HJ games will be really close this year if that's any indicator.  Silsbee is better defensively and would really test BS from that aspect.  I would probably handicap it around Silsbee -5 or 6.  But I would also say Silsbee would be favored over any school in the area with the exception of Central.

lol I wasn't even supposed to go to the game! I told Jase I'd come and didn't wanna be a liar. I had a essay due at 11:59 and had to hurry home. Didn't realize you were there till halfway threw the 4th! 

He skulks around.  He didn't even come by and say hello at the Nederland game!  ;)

Were you there? Next time come say hello

yall were getting hosed on a lot of touch fouls. Jomard didn't play most of the second because of a 3rd foul. The ball seemed to be super slick tonight. Y'all played a great game and I love how y'all can milk the clock. That will come in handy later on this year. 

Not having Dareiyus was not the biggest challenge for us. Tevin Baker and Jomard Valsin both with 4 fouls going into the 4th qtr was tough. LCM came to play. As always, very well coached and very scrappy on defense.

Does anyone have the stats on Central Big Man from the game against Houston Episcopal last night???

Ding ding ding.  We have a winner...  

The fans

same ones that had Nederland finishing 2nd in district and Ozen an afterthought and 4 or 5 in the GT pass what you on we all need some especially me and BigCam we had a long day 

See^^^^

bring up more free stuff and he'll show up to give his two cents real soon.

Right. This is the Kelly / Nederland thread. Shouldnt we be talking about Silsbee by now?

Okay, now I'm going to throw my 2 cents into this debate. It really don't matter whose better. in the real world, Boyd has to do Boyd and Comeaux has to do Comeaux. I admit, its great for debate and thats all it is, a debate/opinion only. These kids put in the work. Totally different players and different skill sets. As I have said before, for some players , high school is an entity to stay in shape for the summer games. Boyd was seen on the circuit and judged for his play there, not high school.

"Better Program" does not equal "Best Fit"
 

Unfortunately I'm out of likes.  English IS without question one of the best coaches in SETX and to take a hit like that before the season starts would effect any team at any level.  Not saying Ned won't improve because they will.  But to say he won't be missed is just being dishonest with yourself.  I don't really think anyone at Nederland believes that. 
Now, there is one chink in English's armor that was glaring last night.  Somehow, he has let Kelly outrecruit him in Port Arthur!  Talk about a couple of PGs that would be difference makers at Big Ned!  
I kid my Nederland friends.  I kid...

So let's get this straight, Many on here believe Coach English is one of the Best Coaches in SETX. He has a PG whose his starter for 3 yrs & now he's gone, some of you think Big Ned will be fine?? Not many programs from HS to College to Pros recover quickly losing a key piece of their offense, especially at PG. It's hilarious how once a player is gone the outlook on their performance quickly changes in the eyes of "Experts".   Funny how NONE of this was mentioned while the kid was here. I've watched the kid Blossom for years, had he not gone to Nederland, that program would be worse than it is now. Don't let the few move-ins fool you, one of them is a Cousin of mine.  BTW, since when Nederland has had a player to create his own shot??  Not a knock, just keen observation. SMH
