Top Nederland Player-Leaves!!

[Honest Abe]

Just isn't logical to move a player across the country to another PUBLIC SCHOOL!!!!    And if the school is really bad as rumored, could not have been for athletic purposes.

I agree! Not logical at all. He has a personal trainer in Cali who filled his (and his family's) head with the belief that his chances are better to attain a scholly out West while training with this particular person. I just can't believe that they would bite on that idea. I can assure you that the transfer was for athletic opportunities (beyond HS). I can't imagine his chances being improved by moving to Cali! Head scratcher for sure. As mentioned previously, he HAD a golden opportunity to shine (and get noticed) on a Nederland team who could have realistically made it back to Katy this year. Instead, he decided to abandon his teammates and friends...

Everyone knows schollies are earned between March and July anyway...

Which is my whole point about moving to another public school. Makes no sense unless they really are being advised by a person who have no clue how this offer/exposure/scholly/March-July scenario usually works.

Didn't you move your sons to another public school? Why didn't you send them to a private school?

I heard it was an Academy...not a public school  So there goes that

Because the move wasn't for basketball

Okay, if thats true, now its making more cents...err sense. Can we get verification, please!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Because the move wasn't for basketball

yeah……………because Ozen was more academically acceptable than HF at that time.

LMAO!!!!

Funniest thing I have read on this board in years!!

Ask the math teacher at Ozen, Mr. Cantu. Ozen have or had some very good academic support in place.

thats the only teacher you ever bring up, must be your homie in the cut, so he was the one who alerted the HBC, errr… guidance counselor about them?

[Mamba]

If you only knew Mr.Cantu he's only the HARDEST teacher in the school who cuts NOBODY any SLACK especially athletes, not saying there aren't others but every kid who takes his class is on eggshells every six weeks.  He might be past college level hard...

[TxHoops]

Mr. Cantu aside, HF ranked 143 in a recent ranking of Texas high schools.  Ozen - 1469.   Only Sabine Pass ranked higher than HF among SETX public high schools.

Like some like to say on here:

PREACH!!!!!!

If you are an unsigned senior, playing in 5A, against Central and Ozen (scout draws), and you played in the post season...it aint the coach or the school  

[BLUEDOVE3]

HF and Sabine Pass do not accept nor have the students a school like Ozen will take within their district.  Ozen had one of the best tutorial programs in the area.

What about the communications program and mental toughness class

I subscribe to the theory that kids are the products of their environment, as opposed to the reverse.  The young are blessed in that the Lord made them resilient.  I do think success is greatly heightened by parental support, which is often lacking in some schools that struggle.  However, I happen to know for a fact that no young doves were or are lacking in that department

Have had two kids go through Ozen, both have received their college degrees and are doing just fine. Another is currently attending and is in top ten in her class.I am saying all of this to say it does not matter what school you attend if you have no parent support academically or athetically the parent failed the kid ,not the school .

LOL!! And you know I saw yall all the time. Saturday mornings tutorials and the whole nine yards.

Ozen's communication dept. take a class  field trip to L.A. every year and visit the major areas dealing with communications. An instructor who actually worked in the field of broadcasting and knows the industry.

[team first]

What's funny is, y'all bring up these simple things like it's something people never heard of. Problem is it's the norm at the higher educational schools

Man, as parents we are so uninformed and make too many decisions with our hearts and not our heads. Listening to the wrong people who have never gone through the process or based on their experiences 5-10 years ago. I've said this several times, too many times people telling kids stuff and they have no clue what da hell they talking about.
