Yes, it happens, in the Early 2000's Ozen was a great program, producing D-1 athletes, even with Brook taking a lot of their athletes. They did sputter after Brooks left, I believe, but still had some good years and good teams. Central was always a powerhouse with probably some of the best athletes in in the State, I definitely seen them take a lot of teams to the woodshed. but like stated in another thread I believe Coaching failed this team more times than not. Westbrook most years was the top team in the area, a few of Rabbs years we're below expectations but for majority of the time the only reason they weren't playing deep into December was due to playing in Texas 5A and later on 6A but was still able to make it to the final game. Still an all Brook has produced. Like you stated I can't see both schools becoming like a La Marque or Galveston Ball, but still I wouldn't be surprised, there has been a large exodus of athletes out of Beaumont.

The damning thing about that is that team was no different from other past teams to come through BISD. I would dare to even say that team wasn't even the most talented to come though WB in team in the last 10 years ( Im no even mentioning the Early/Mid 2000 teams). What I will say though is that team had came up through the pop-warner ranks together (Which most teams from past BISD schools didn't have the luxury of) and peaked at the right time and caught some lucky breaks, I won't take anything from them though, that offense was dynamic, but I'd be lying If I said I had never seen anything like that before in Beaumont history. I think that's why a lot of ppl are hot, talent has never been an issue in Beaumont, I don't care what ppl say, and the writing has been on the wall for as long as I can remember, invest more in athletics like other communities, hire the right coaches for the job. Now I don't know Langston personally, but I have heard nothing but great things about him, plus I know a few coaches on the staff, and I know they care for those kids and vice/versa, but I know a lot of good man, that I wouldn't want coaching football. Being a good guy doesn't make you a good football coach. At the end of the day, it's a business just like your job, and if you're not performing, I'm sure you'll be feeling the heat to and possibly receive your walking papers if things continued on the downward spiral. Its a shame when Beaumont really has some good middle school teams coming up, and you see the future there, but like someone earlier said you talk to the parents and the first thing they say "Yeah we're looking at schools outside of BISD. Thats a problem and needs to be addressed.

so basically what im gathering from this forum is talent was never the issue, cause according to this board the players leaving Brook and going to other programs and would be starting or at least be playing heavy snaps at high ranking programs?? P.S: yes I know 6-A is totally different but still that doesn't mean they shouldn't be competitive.

Congrats LH!!! Congrats BU!!!! You showed 5A or 6A your the best in the State!!! no reason to hang your heads!!!!

BU Gone have to play the best game they've played all season!!

I could be wrong but It has BU playing Brennan and not Desoto

basically this game made BU have to allow on execution rather than Athleticism.

This was a good game for BU!!! It helps you understand is more than just talent!!! Make no mistake C.Falls showed what the difference is between a good coach and a great coach! This type of games are good for you Any who congrats BU one of the great dynasty runs I've seen

Lets GO!!!!! BU HOLD ON!!!!!

Come On BU!!! How much time left?

Was score??

This is that team where its going to come down to execution. Talent alone isn't enough anymore

Good season P.A!!! Nothing to hang your head about!!

Like Ive stated once before, this is the most focus BU team Ive seen...

One of the best teams in the state imo
