Please... It is an acedemic MAGNET not a sports MAGNET... I would have that problem if it was Ozen Basketball Magnet, but it is not... There is no advantage... That's why all magnets are not successful in sports!!!! But most are successful in acedemics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Essentially it is. Students who want to go to the medical profession go to Central. Students who want to play basketball go to Ozen Basketball Academy. Cut the bull Bullets!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coming out of middle school Lopez was considered a top Beaumont Guard... He did not go to Ozen and trust me when I say Boutte would have loved to have him... Gulley was a top player coming out of Middle school too and he did not choose Ozen... Both kids could start now for Ozen so there is your bubble burst!!

I watched Wheatly three times and I feel that they were trash... I am surprised they got this far... Nobdy starting is above 6'1" and this year their atheletes are suspect... Smiley should blow them out!

I like Smiley so the entire Triangle is not against you!

This is such a Vain prayer... God does not answer prayers of vanity... Sorry Yates!

It looks like their crying in the picture, maybe because they're about to play Ozen. Wait a minute, now I outta know somebody at Yates to send these posts to over there. Then hang them up in the locker room for all the mighty lions to see. You know a panther will run when they see a lion Why are you dissing a local team like that if you like Yates so much then move to houston and support them over there and get on to the houston sports forum Hold on we need him... If there were no contraversy then there would notbe a forum... Stick around Blue!

So regardless of where DeCarlos lives, he can attend Ozen now. Did Franks parents move within Ozen's boudaries? You say build it, and they will come (apparently no matter where they live within the school district). You have stated before that Ozen is a magnet school. That is why kids from outside of their boundaries can attend school there. Did you not read the UIL statement that I posted? Here it is again since you didn't catch it the 1st time: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A magnet or special school for academically gifted students shall be assigned to a conference upon the basis of the enrollment of the school in its member school district having the largest enrollment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This means Ozen (being a magnet) should be in it's member school district having the largest enrollment (Westbrook). Therefore, I ask you once more...Why is Ozen not in 5A??? Central has been disignated a magnet school too so are you saying they should be 5A too... Are is Central their member school and not the Brook? UIL I need clarafication!!!!!!

Back to topic.... 99% I can name seven that came out with me that were too busy trying to be misfits to go to college and two were on the brink of failing out of Kelly. (kelly thugs are so funny!!! ) One returned to go to college at 22. Two went to the military... The others are currently weed heads!!! Fact is that Ozen has the best coach in BMT and kids want to play with that. Zoning issues do not exist in Beaumont because of extended families.... So here is my Grannies address... Been here since 7 yrs. old... lol ;D Central's best atheletes don't are not always in school :-X, (D@mn I hated saying that) and Westbrook has the worst coach in Texas! therefore, Ozen is the best program...

Spoken like a typical southeast Texan. There is a lot to see in the world than just in Beaumont. In fact, there are other better teams than Ozen. Believe me. Yates has three guys off the bench that play minutes.... One is a guy that is listed at 6'4" but he looks 6'2" that is a decent athelete... He plays post and is bullish but usually gets caught on the offensive end trying to dribble and drive like a guard... He looks like a football player... Maybe 10-15 minutes a game. Then there is two sub 5'9" guards that cvome off the bench... One is a dead eyed shooter that has one of the highest arcing shots I have ever seen. He can mix it up on the dribble too but he never goes anywhere but east and west. The other is cat quick and loves to drive the lane for the lay-up or the dish. He is also a good on ball defender. On the other hand Ozens bench is much deeper in the post... There are two 6'4" guys that play real good and decipline on the block... There are also two guards off the bench that just play there role but don't make many mistakes.

This poll is boo boo! St.Marys is n the top 30 in the country but number 6 on this poll...

It just goes to show you how good Yates is this year, I think they relaxed too early in this game. The only time you can relax in the playoffs is when you hear the final horn. Yates needed this game to wake up. Wake -up Smake-up... You gotta stay woke in the playoffs... could cost you your life.... Now I know Yates steps up to play when it is time to go against bigtime talent... But we will c!

I may be a dude but I am far from a panther.... Jack Yates is god I have watched them... Just think they are Memphis.... Can't play in the half court... We will see if they can Friday!

Huntsville is not ranked but they have only lost 6 games all year... Yates was up big in this one in the thrird but allowed Huntsville to get back in it... This is the playoffs people... There are no easy games!

Yates struggled against a very good Huntsville team that was able to push back o that Yates pressure... I think Ozen will do the same and win by 2!

i THOUGHT THAT WAS cLEVELAND SILSBEE LOST TO AFTER BLOWING THEM OUT TWICE BY MORE THAN 20 DURING THE REGULAR SEASON... tHAD hOLDEN, LOU, AND MON WAS ON THAT TEAM... THEY WERE GREAT AND THE ONLY TEAM IN THE AREA TO BEAT EMMANUAL MCELROY LED LINCOLN THAT YEAR.

Well BH is no more discipline than the Jags... The execution by the Jags is great.. The only team that has pushed them out of wack is Ozen in the second meeting... They have scored effectively and are one of the best rebounding teams in the district... The games that they have lost in district was on part by the defense... The fact is Dayton and LCM went on a roll in January - February and came up with ome big wins after the Jags were demoarlized by the Panthers... By far this is the best coaching job by Rice and some of the most discipline well mannered kids that he has had... AND if you play with passion a kid could "whine" as some of you say about a call... But the passion of the moment and the game might be the reason and not because he is un-discipline... BH is in for a rude awakening if they think by any means that this Jag team will lose due to dicsipline or passion... If the Jags lose it will be due to youth in the guard position which at times play like their age... Sophmore PG and Juniors... Because the young players don't play undiscipline but they do make young mistakes....

Pearland went on to the State championship to lose to a very beatable Midland team... One of the weakest state champs!

That same "lucky" Central 1990 team (so says Dickie) Gave me a heart heart attack a year before... Many of you don't remember that Central lost in the Regional Semi Finals 1998 to Pearland.... It was kind of a magical ride that year... Kensly Barrett a 6' football player that played D1 at Rice was the only senior to start on that Jag team... He had hit a three pointer to win the last two games against if I am not mistaken... Elkins and Aldine... The sam situation reared its head against Pearland... Kensley got the ball on the left wing, rose up, and clanked the ball off the back Iron...

A little girl died at my Mom's school with Leukemia last week as well... she was seven... It's one thing to watch an adult die that slow harsh death but when it is a kid..... a baby.... it is really tough! My prayers are with the family!

Yeah it is also about closing out games and playing all 32 minutes... Something my Jags fail to do at times... BUT BH BETTR WATCH OUT!

All of this over a kid... Good Grief is right Soulja!

thanks ... I didn't want to have to go into all that.

BH blew out Dayton before all the football boys came back... Dayton did not even hit thier stride to middle of district (because of the deep football playoff run)... This is a different Dayton Team... Also, LCM did not hit a stride until late district... It is a different LCM team now too... You cant look at November and December to judge all teams... For instance Madison in Houston looked like a top 3 in State team in November and December but the turned aroung and lost five games in Disctrict and became the third place team and unranked... Teams mature and get those football atheletes into the rythm of the game in like January (if they go deep in the playoffs like Dayton did)... So now you are comparing Apples to Oranges!!!

Hey!!! News flash... I am BLACK... I grew up in the Ghetto! I want to see J Brown do well! But this kid was so bad attitude wise that I stopped going to his games... I was all wired to see the senior/leader JBrown I went to 3 of their five games... The kids attitude made me sick to my stomach and I couldn't stand to watch him anymore... I was one of the first to condemn him and was one of the last to back off of him... I do wanna see if this suspension makes a difference. I hate to see talent go to waste reguardless of the ethnicity of the kid... I feel what you saying Dickie but some things don't need to be mentioned on here... Racism does exist like that guy who was talking about "White Flight" to Lumberton because Falgout did not start at QB at the Brook. But this message board is not the place for it... COOP make a socio-economical effects on sports in the TriAngle forum just for these topics or just leave them alone...

Jags just don't know how to lose to BH and it won't start this year... Jags win by 10!
