54-30. Prayers for Landon King #6

It's our Seniors last home game tonight. I just want to thank these young men for their commitment. This is bittersweet for me because I've Coached a few of these guys since the age of 10. Many are like my own sons. To my Son Mr Randle, thank you for the many memories you've given us as parents. We are proud of your football accomplishments, but we are more proud of the Honor Grad distinction. You gave it your All and that's all we can ask of you.
Proud Panther Dad

Both WB and Central are getting kids that should by area go to Ozen. Until they stop letting them go across town for high school it will continue. Again "WE" the parents need to step up and help fix this issue. I guarantee you if the rosters for each school were pulled and addresses were looked at the majority of kids slotted for Ozen will be at either WB or Central. Until the perception of Ozen changes this will continue. My wife has worked at Ozen for the past 5 years I have seen where it has come from in that time frame. It has gotten a lot better. Parent involvement is the key. We have to not only hold our kids to a higher standard but also those who teach/coach them. Hopefully the BOM can help get our district sorted out. Most of you probably don't know but that student led movement that really put the pressure on the school board this summer was lead by students from Ozen. My wife's students in fact. We need to follow the example they set and help fix the issues. WE have an uphill battle going forward and I hope our coaching staff gets the support they need. 

It is a conundrum for sure. Hopefully the BOM can help out with the enrollment issues. The biggest problem the 3 high schools deal with is the perception of the campuses. Right or wrong both Central and Ozen have a bad rep and WB doesn't. Those of us who are close to what's going on can say differently. It's ine of the main reasons my son is at Ozen. He is slotted for WB but he did not want to deal with all the crap he had to at Marshall in high school. So if you happen to see 5' 11" Red Head on the sidelines this year working with Coach D and playing baseball this year and Football next year that's my oldest. Would not have him anywhere else. We as parents need to step up and fill the gaps to make the school our kids attend the best. We all can make a difference.

Hate to correct you but if your going to make a quote especially a musical one please get the artist right. it's John C. Folgerty and the song is the Outfield.... Not John Cougar/Mellencamp......

My wife teaches at Ozen. I have a pretty good report with Coach Suggs and she even said I should talk with him about it. After we are done with our season I may just do that. We have a great group of coaches that are trying to get the whole group on the same page. I think with all the turn over the last few years not to mention a total change from a spread to a more pro-style offense has made it a little more difficult on the players.

Such an issue at the freshman level with numbers, if what you say is true, will make the rebuilding much more difficult, you have to have some kind of numbers in the program, sounds like a tough situation. Hope the best for the kids, resources should be spread more evenly across BISD

rc2182 & Bigcam I know that the both of you educate your kids at home as well as train them for their sport before the season begins and even work on things extra to give your kids a better opportunity for success. The same goes on with my household as well as the expectations on and off the field. I agree that change comes when positive people with good ideas, work ethics, morals, attitudes and solid tangible goals in place come together it helps bring about change. Aggieffmedic87 you and your family have been a great addition to the Panther family and work hard as well, I am a fan of your child, good kid. We are part of several that I know personally that will help instill success and positivity in our program and look forward to the turn around! McGee was not a good evaluator of where and who should be playing (#20 is a good RB as well) and Suggs hasn't figured out that certain players should play on both sides of the ball in certain situations but hopefully he will soon! I say it's crunch time and my best players hit the field at key moments! Let's Go Panthers! 

JRIDGE in my opinion I have to look at it from a perspective of what would be best for my child, education wise first then athletically.With that being said, Cam hit the nail on the head with his observation. you have to prepare your kids for all aspects of life and most times that requires you being your self and not so much following the crowd. I think coach Suggs has good intentions, and in the long run will get the program where it should be.Stay the course ,and continue to mentor your kids and if a number of us parents do this, the bad would weed it self out and Ozen's program will be fine.

Having a freshman at Ozen this year I have seen first hand what is going on. They have quite a bit of talent on the roster. The biggest issue I have seen is the old adage of not having an I in team. If you have watched then at all this year that has been an issue. Hopefully the staff can get this part fixed. Something else that would be a big help would be more help from the middle schools. Ozen is a place where students can go an thrive with the right coaching and not get lost like they will at WB of Central. I'm a bruin but WB has gotten way to big and kids get lost. Not sure about what's going on at Central. Ozen is in a great spot to really make a push over the next 3 or 4 years if they get the support they deserve and need. Nice right up.

I can't speak for the rest of the Pirate faithful, but I really appreciated the applause after the young lady who led the invocation ended it with "in Jesus name." I try not to be political on the board but I do believe the vast majorityof Texas high school football fans are made to bow to the wishes of the very few.

Ozen has a new head coach who arrived just this past April having only a few weeks to organize a Spring Football session without knowing his coaches or players. David Suggs inherited a tall task after BISD immediately hired and fired Plez Atkins for about a week in the departure of former head coach Keith McGee after a one year tender. Former head coach Jeff Nelson had Ozen's football program moving forward but his untimely departure left the program without a leader and a clear direction. The kids struggled with trust issues with all the hiring, firing and resignations after being told that they were a family and should never give up. Several kids gave up the sport or simply took on a relaxed attitude about building a solid program. On top of that Suggs has not been allowed to bring in an Offensive Coordinator or Offensive Line Coach of his choice to develop these young players. He has 7 coaches at his disposal to help run a Freshmen, Jv and Varsity program, in which some lack football coaching experience and are filling in as needed. The Freshmen team is now nonexistent and have been combined with the Jv. BISD has to allow him to even the playing field by being able to get in coaches that are experienced and capable of enhancing these kids abilities. All though Ozen's team is loaded with talent, they are young:

Reality is, Ozen should be fine as they do have good young talent in the under grads and if BISD gives Suggs the support he needs to be successful! I don't agree with every decision he has made thus far but Rome wasn't built in a day. It has appeared to me that some were secretly wanting this school to fold and the district only have 2 H.S. but it  takes consistency for things to come together and I must say this is the one big thing Ozen has been lacking! Let's Go Panthers, Win & the Playoffs are the beginning! What is your opinion on this subject?

Why not use the mistake on I-10.... 

so whats the real deal?
where is the bowl, if not lamar then there are no more Hill celebrations!!!

Why not use the mistake on I-10.... 

Bingo!!!!! Even the accused haven't heard from them.....,.

Have you not been paying attention to what's going on? They're not allegations--it is what it is, bro.  People aren't even allowed to view evidence being used against them...? People are getting ridiculous discplinary actions placed against them like "lifetime probation" (seriously???)...? People are being "removed" from boards willy nilly as if anyone who even questions things has to be silenced...? I mean what is the deal, folks?! This isn't Communist China... you don't have to place black bags over peoples head to shut them up so they won't offer dissenting opinions...or FACT for that matter.
 
There's no "both sides", there's obviously ten sides to these stories. Crazy! It's obvious that the boards themselves need a system of checks and balances to prevent this kind of ridiculous behavior. How many times do I have to be told (or do others have to say) "we're all in this for the kids" before someone stops and realizes that parent egos are the problem--and they're no in it for the kids.
 
Also worthy of mention: you didn't actually acknowlegde the message/meaning in my post. That is NOT the answer. Period.
