You think PA Lincoln would EVER lose to Nederland? It just was not happening. That's how that program was built, and although it was not the same in the end, they still beat who they were EXPECTED to beat. I mean close games with PNG?? That's not suppose to happen at Ozen, but it's just not the same Ozen.[/quote]You are right- its not the same Ozen. The talent is spread across Beaumont now instead of the majority of basketball players going to Ozen as they once did. You keep mentioning things such as "do you think PA Lincoln would EVER lose to Nederland? A few years ago, you could have also asked "do you think Ozen would EVER lose to Vidor" and we now know the answer.[/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozensfinest Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 [quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1370596" timestamp="1360163482"]I will ask you this.....Did Ozen have a "future NBA player in 2007 when they won the region, went to Austin, and made the state championship game? The answer is NO AND NOT EVEN CLOSE...NOT the same Ozen. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Good win, but we are not seeing the same program that was built to be dominant.[/quote]Exactly Dickie V people have no clue on the tradition of Ozen basketball you have to have been in the program to understand that things ain't been the same since Saveat took over and its time for a new coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenash Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Are you talking about the "winning tradition" or the tradition wherein nearly every able bodied Beaumont high school basketball player attended Ozen in its early years? If you are talking about the second one, I wouldnt guess that one could be replicated. By the way, the traditions of the Celtics and Lakers are both not being extended currently.

TopDawG52 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Imo. Only obvious call that seemed fishy. Was the ozen player push the nerderland player down and they called it a travel. Other tha. That was a solid officiated game... I doubt anyone has been to a perfect called game. .

You said on this very board that Nederland would sit back in that zone and challenge the Panthers to shoot the three. Coach English, knowing what strong connections/influence you have at Ozen, may have opted to take a different route intentionally just to throw the Panthers off.

Dick Vitale Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Stevenash don't start that about Ozen getting the best in Beaumont, because that was certainly NOT the case. I will say this again: WESTBROOK AND CENTRAL HAVE ALWAYS HAD TALENT. And in some years MORE than we did at Ozen. This year Central has GREAT young talent, but the only way Nederland has ANY shot at beating them is the fact that Brian English is a much better coach than Central's coach...MUCH BETTER. With the right guy on the Central sideline, they blow that district away, UNDEFEATED. JUST like we did.... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
