rc2182

Patience is a virtue however the regular season ends Tuesday Feb.14..This administrative leave/investigation has turned into a mind boggling quandary...Total disadvantage for the kids and the program. The fan base-parents and community should be more vigilant in getting some answers from the BISD managers....jmo 

Just for clarity purposes, the investigation is about funds from a JV tourney that was held at Ozen, not the Fred Williams Classic.
It's my understanding Coach Saveat will be cleared of any wrong doing.
The investigation was ignited by some parents "involved" with Ozen HS, if you get my drift.

Well, at Ozen I can testify there are some very good teachers there and some good academic programs as well. Schools like Ozen accept ALL STUDENTS who knock on their doors. 

The news story reported by KFDM (Channel 6) said nothing about free housing.  It is a news story about affordable housing for senior citizens in a part of Beaumont where they can walk to and from stores that offer goods and services.  Most senior citizens are on fixed incomes, be it from Social Security, or retirement investments, or both, and they need housing at a price point that fits within their budget.  Many of those seniors likely paid into Social Security and Medicare in the form of payroll deductions.  Are they not entitled to the Social Security benefits they are receiving?  Where is the "Do Less, Get More" mentality?  Why not use public funds to assist senior citizens?  The story reported by Channel 6 was not about Section 8 subsidized housing for welfare queens and kings.  Why bash Beaumont for being dumb?  What is dumb about using public funds to assist local senior citizens in your community?
Find common ground and work together to make American great again.  Isn't that what President Trump wants?  Conservatives push a Bible-based agenda, but they overlook the scriptures where the Lord said to care for the poor, widows, orphans, and society in general. See Deuteronomy 15:7-11, Proverbs 14:31, Jeremiah 22:16, Matthew 19:21, 25:35, and 1 John 3:17-18.
3...2...1...those in the center, or on the left are dumb, radical, too eclectic, too liberal, stealing from the rich to give to the poor, taking from the workers to give to the lazy, taking from the haves to care for the have-nots so they can push a gay agenda, etc.  Response:  No, not at all.  Let's spend tax funds wisely to take care of our armed services, seniors, vets, and rebuild infrastructure.  No one is advocating giving free money or free housing to the Jerry Springer crowd.  That was not the story reported by KFDM.
Peace.
 
 

With out seeing the game live, it sounded like it was evenly matched,but thinking back to the ymbl tournament and watching both teams, you are correct. It appears Ozen is not utilizing their size, which was the case in the ymbl tournament.

Hard work beats talent and size when talent dont work hard and  play to their potential by not being utilized effectively... Hopefully this is addressed before the playoffs..Keep working Lady Panthers.

On the game, I've seen both teams this year and I didn't expect this one to be particularly close.  I gotta stop underestimating WB.  Nederland may have the Wizard at the helm but the Bruins have the Warlock!

Smh also They got the W tha hard way   

3:36 To play 4th Ozen 42..Central 35

Sound like a good game of momentum changes.

Ozen JV 52...Central 36...Final

And I said Pender would be the guy for this team.  I bet his Father has a smile from ear to ear...

I know , so am I ,just had to poke fun .I would also think the coaching staff have to be commended for making adjustments in second half to get the W.

Just get better everyday

Westlake 31
Ozen 30

Sounds like they kicked into high gear

Man I can see your chest stuck out from here,lol, no he have been shooting lights out since WB game. Congratulations that should have been a good learning experience for them to be down so much, and come back and win.

I agreed on the ridiculousness of Silsbee having to play Wagner in the first round of the last tournament.  
But in this one, Silsbee got put in a relatively weak pool in this tournament, "relatively" because the other 7 pools had a stronger team in it than Hightower. If you look at the pools, Silsbee was definitely the "A" team in the pool and was expected to make the gold bracket.  
The bottom line is this:  if you miss EIGHTEEN free throws in a game and lose by 3, to make additional excuses is weak sauce.  Refs didn't cost you the game, time slots didn't cost you the game, YOU cost you the game.  Besides, if anyone can run through 2 games in a 4-5 hour period, a team that runs 12 to 14 deep ought to be able to do it.  If you don't shoot better from the line than that, good teams can beat you and really good teams WILL beat you.  Hopefully the Tigers get that issue corrected.

Ozen 40
CySprings 39
Final
Courtland Pender with a 3 to win the game 

Ozen has size and height. And probably more girls dat has played on a varsity level. Truly. Legacy girls has more trust in eachother than i have seen in previous years. Something ozen hasnt showed me this year is passion. But i agree rc2182 better ball players. Great game tho i wish dat was da championship game and not lufkin

That was a strong effort against as good a guard as you will see all year and a couple of really solid big men as well.  Not the least bit surprised either.  Those Panthers will keep working and getting better for sure. 

Not a bad start for the Panthers, only losses coming to Legacy.  Lady Jaguars finished pre-district 9-3, not bad.  There losses were to Channelview, Barbers Hill and Lufkin.  They open district play at home against Lumberton Tuesday.
Good luck to both squads through the season...

Ozen Lady Panthers went (8-2) as of yesterday in pre-district play- playing quality opponents... District play kicks off Tuesday (Dec.6) with Ozen at Vidor.
