Good question BlkMamba.  I'll make some of the bigger games for the boys but I'll be mainly following the girls program due to my invested interest.  I can tell you this though, the expectations are higher for the boys basketball program probably more so than any other sports team United will field this year.  But like I said above, they went out and got a WINNER for a coach who is going to be over young men from both schools that are use to winning.  I don't see the basketball team losing games that they should win.  I'm not saying that they are about to win state right out of the gate but you never know, it could happen.  They will win 20 plus games a year and have decent success in the playoffs.

In football, the people from Central and the North end had higher expectations than what is going on currently by a team that is being led by a former Ozen coach.  In basketball, the critics from Ozen and the South have won a state title and are about to be led by a former Central coach who took them to the State tournament and won a title with North Shore.  Football could have been the "tie" that binds both of these communities but it has done the exact opposite.  The basketball team will do what the football team couldn't do, "unify" the communities and the student body. 

Everybody loves a winner and winning cures all...

I do agree winning cures all ,and expectations in the basketball program should be higher because although coach Green is an excellent coach, he is also inherenting two programs that are use to either winning district or placing 2nd to 3rd at worst and advancing in playoffs. In regards to the football program ,neither team was world beaters in my view point, although Central programs were slightly better. But I do know, we have to get past the Central vs.Ozen mentality and let the coaches try and establish their programs ,because on the outside looking in I can't tell who went to Central and who went to Ozen . It is now United regardless to weather we like it or not..

I was thinking the same thing earlier. For example, if a former Ozen player wins a job on Taylor's offense over a former Central player, parents of that kid blowing up that Taylor is looking out for his Ozen guys and what not. I have been around a lot of "little league dads" and that is not far fetched and quite possible.

I really don't believe any favoritism will be going on, may the best man win the job. Besides that  coach Taylor was at both schools so he is familiar with both schools talent . With that being said, he is in a tough position don't matter who he plays some body parent will not be happy.

Yea I like that, The black just brings out an Intemidation factor, you know and with the Hurricanes as a logo..

That would be perfect 

I like the logo, would be interesting to play with the colors a little ,but, I do like maroon and blue so far ,wonder what maroon and gold would look like.

Memorial is the team to beat in 22-5A this year, but Central if anyone will test them 

I don't doubt Memorial will be the team to beat for district title ,wasn't at the game between Central and Ozen, but, based on the score it appears Central and Ozen both, will give them a good test.

The game was streaming live on hoopinsider twitter feed. 

Appears it was a good game to watch, sounds like they are evenly matched .Coaching adjustments will dictate the winner in district.

Doesn't look like it ,like (Dennis Green ) said, we had them and we let them off the hook, lol.

Thanks for updates.

Thanks for update .

Thanks for score updates JustUs, Ozen do what they do every year make believers out of non believers. 

Ozen 48-44 4th 3 minutes left. 

I support Ozen and was at the game last night although,I don't have no one out there. Can't explain why others don't attend other than lack of support and interest based on wins and losses. I do know,unless changes occur with coaching philosophy and or positive motivation, attendance won't change.

All black people don't rally around Kaepnernick.  I've said it scores of times, we are not monolithic in thinking. Personally I've been cycling down on my football viewing for years, way before current events came up.  I still watch a little Houston Texans and that's about it.  It used to be the Dallas Cowboys, but that's another story.

If you can frame it you can solve it,  here's the solution: the USA is coming to an end.  This whole world, as we know it, is coming to and end.  Jesus Christ is coming back.   Before He returns there will be a time of trouble such as the world has never seen (Daniel 12:1,2).  That's why there is so much strife and division on this forum.  It is happening every where.

Agree 100% This world is in turmoil, and the only thing that  will matter at the end, is what have you done for Christ, and it won"t matter if you are white ,black, or polka dot color.

Good start PNG ,sounds like a solid program from top to bottom.

Congrats Ozen, any win on the road is a good win,

Ozen didn't choose, a certain coach chose for them whom is no longer there ,most coaches were in favor of going were ever the numbers took them. I am not as affiliated with the school as normal but I will go out on a limb and say Ozen will be more competitive this year than most expect.

Congrats, ball out, and good luck on future endeavors.
