Big difference between last year and this year. Ozen lost 3 huge pieces, including their inside presences. Central lost one of it's best 3. Ozen will get killed against any team with size and physicality. Soft as charmin inside. But again, we shall see. I just can't see Ozen making any kind of a deep run in the playoffs. They may keep the Central games closer than they should be but they aren't nearly the same team. I've been wrong before so who knows. I will only tell you I told you so a half dozen times or so, though. I promise.

I think if it's close, it's because it's a big rivalry. Talent level is on a different plane. Central has a real shot to get to State. Ozen isn't one of the top 5 teams in the region IMO. Not sure they would be second in district, much less the State, without a recent move out from Nederland. I know you believe in those kids but I just don't see it. At all.

Great post Mamba. I did not see Fall Brook or North Shore. Fair assessment on the others though. And from what I saw today: Central everyone else

I don't like to rub salt in wounds when one team loses to another team. But Roper asked and this guy actually had me laughing during the TCU debacle. So here goes:

The year long suspension on Florida's QB is ridiculous. I understand they have people to clear supplements through, but if you can buy it at GNC, to suspend for the year is ridiculous. The NCAA will have no one to blame but themselves when they become extinct.

FIFY

was about to say...

is tevin playing?

I believe Yates also has 6'7" sophomore Mitchell Seriale who transferred in.

I don't know about no matter how you slice it. That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I would respectfully disagree, and not just based on rankings and college coaches...

Kraemer and I am guessing Kevin Dotson. Freshman with some length that should really help them this year.

[Hidden Content] Bill Snyder is an absolute class act.

who you calling yoyo, gomer? ;)

Built in excuse. No more Hicks' material.

I would have to agree.

Pretty hard to argue against you when he turned down 1st round money to come back. Personally, I am not a UK fan but I am rooting for Poythras this year. Love a kid who stays (even though I don't blame the ones who leave) and want them to be rewarded. Plus he has had some terrible luck with injuries. If he stays healthy and has a good year, he would have my vote for all the superlatives. There wasn't a player in the country with his size that can defend like he does and there won't be this year. Kid can flat out lock down on D against some of the better offensive players in the country. If you love great defensive basketball, this is your guy. And he can score it on the other end too.

Although a couple of years (and summers) at Kelly has done wonders for their pg from Port Arthur, the Baker kid. Saw them a couple of weeks ago and he has become one of the better PGs in the area. Been watching him play for several years now and always thought the kid could play. But I have never seen him distribute the ball like he is now. Superior coaching I am guessing...

yes, Jordan Hunter, Christian Bolton and Wayne Wyngarde. Kelly is missing two starters, one of whom is arguably their best player.

what happens when an overrated team plays an underrated team...

Hey Rope, we will need an avatar bet on that game. Line should be small so it should be a fair bet. I will take my Horns though...
