The decision on a name and colors needs to happen sooner than later. Uniforms for EVERY team must be ordered. The court at Ozen has to be stripped and painted, all Ozen history will need to be covered or put away. In many ways converting a current campus will be tougher than when a school opens in a new building.

Washington-Marion isn’t Marion-Washington. I put Ozen first because their campus would be used, at least initially.

I’m worried about how the next couple of years will be like in district. If they are grouped with West Brook and Pasadena schools they’ll compete. If they are shifted to North Shore, Atascocita, etc. that could be rough. I see both of these athletic programs and enjoy covering them. But I also travel to cover West Brook facing The Woodlands. It’s not even fair. The disparity in Class 6A is ridiculous. Both Central and Ozen missed out on the playoffs last year in 5A. There is no doubt both schools have talent, but the lack of depth will be the problem.

It’s easy to say that the new basketball team will compete at State year in and year out. But remember the same thing was said when Lincoln and TJ merged (yes I know SFA is included). They didn’t exactly dominate in the state’s highest classification. The new school will be like West Brook. A Small 6A competing against huge numbers. I wish them the best, but it won’t be easy in any sport.

PAM stays in SETX for basketball.

This game is going to be decided by ten or less in my opinion.
