BLUEDOVE3 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Same with Nederland in football. HJ, Nederland is the "end all, be all"I was wondering if anybody was gonna pick up on that. Another example of political minimizing, but I will save that text for the political forum Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 We all know his boys went to Ozen for athletic purposes, but they played JV there first year just like the 7'3" kid is going to do. Athletic purposes? That does not make sense at all. Quote
BIG SHOW Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Athletic purposes? That does not make sense at all. So your telling me if Ozen would have a basketball program like Livingston or Vidor, you would of still transferred your boys there? Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 So your telling me if Ozen would have a basketball program like Livingston or Vidor, you would of still transferred your boys there? What is so special about Ozen and basketball? Ozen is a football school. As I have said before, I have an older daughter who attended Ozen in mid 2000's as well. She did not want to go to HF. Quote
Bigcam2903 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Honestly, I think one of the best Coaches in our District is Coach Abel @ PNG. I've watched his strategy & ability to Coach on the fly, he just doesn't have the Talent. winwin and BMTSoulja1 2 Quote

BIG SHOW Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Dove it's simple! Ozen and HJ are basketball schools. Nederland and PNG are football schools. PA Memorial is none of the above. Lol Quote

Mamba Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Welp when the Executive Director of UIL is your former coach just happens to win a state championship at that school im sure that gets you all kinds of special privileges : ) Quote
Pumper Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Actually it's quite the opposite. Goes out of his way to avoid any appearance of favoring HJ. Quote
TxHoops Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 We all know his boys went to Ozen for athletic purposes, but they played JV there first year just like the 7'3" kid is going to do. We shall see. A little different situation. This kid's parents don't live in a neighboring school district. A little longer commute to Beaumont from Nigeria than Hampshire or Fannett or Cheek. I assume the DC will rule against him but, if so, we will see what the folks in Austin have to say. Quote

BIG SHOW Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I understand the situation is strange and unfortunate for the kids from Nigeria but i would feel the same way if they just recently got a guardian that leaved in Nederland and just started living with them 2 months ago. Rules are rules and fair is fair.... Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Good question. Could have been a couple of scenarios. If they went to Ozen for a year and played underlevels then they established residency at Ozen and were good for varsity after one year. Another scenario is they used a false address in Beaumont if they played varsity right away. A final scenario is that they applied for a waiver through the UIL and it was granted (which is unlikely considering UIL hardly ever approves those waivers). Good info, Lazeek... Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Lazeek I understand, and I agree with you. but blue saying exactly with go to school where you live, through me off. Since his kids went to ozen according to him now for education and his daughter stayed in hf for athletic purposes only Ohh boy... Popcorn anyone? Quote

Rules are rules and fair is fair....Rules are rules. Which is why they have a hardship exception. Say you were in a foreign country trying to better your life, the school you attended shut down, and another family took you in and you enrolled in the school for which you were zoned. Again, if the DC does not grant an exception based on the situation (and an inordinate amount of whining), that will not be the last say in the matter. We will have to wait and see how it unfolds...

united we stand Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 See all these different. answers, thats why i brought up the young man that transfered from kountze to ozen this year and will play for ozen this year, i am sure theres a great reson why he gets to play . Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 You have to give more information about the student's situation. Maybe Kountze signed off... not transferring for academic reasons and... Maybe a parent lives in Ozen zone... and maybe... Quote

I did a Google search and i didn't see anything about it being closed. (I could be wrong or missed something) If the school closed down it's unfortunate and I'm glad they have a good home and school in bmt but if school is indeed still open, then that opens a whole new can of worms. Not sure how deep the UIL digs but I'm sure they will do the right thing. Quote

If it shut down last year, curious as to why young man wasnt here for the start of school, be it Kelly or Central. Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Ohhh Noo he didn't!!! BG got some 'splaining to do. LolI heard Memorial won last night. BG probably still laid out from excitement. Edited October 12, 2015 by BLUEDOVE3 need to delete Quote
