Not true... The first meeting in district at Lamar had a pretty good crowd and Central has 2 D-1 players. They're pretty good. Remember, they are young and lost by 3 to a loaded Silsbee team. So it had everything to do with Valentine's day, imo. Or probably the lack of the bands....

Who's bright idea was it to have this game in Valentine's Day? Why couldn't it have been in Monday? As far as fan attendance and 'atmosphere', this was the 'deadest' Ozen/Central game that I've ever attended. That coupled in with the assistant superintendent's decision to not allow school's dancers and band to never perform at basketball games (Band parents show up in huge numbers). I'm sure that the money that was spent on the Ford Park venue wasn't worth it as I'm sure ticket sells, concession sells, hired refs, ect. Didn't cover the cost of the amount charged. That transaction is probably DEEP in the red. Anyway.... This game was interesting early, but as I've said in the previous matchup, Ozen as a team is just too small. I counted at LEAST 10 blocked shots for Central just in the first half alone. Central blocked shots and grabbed boards and also made some key 3 pointers. Arceneaux and Dill made some key shots. Ozen struggled to score for most of the game, but I felt like they forced the action with Jones when I believe the missmatch was with Pender or Broussard. They're small, but they consistently blow by their defender. Officiating was decent. To do list before playoffs start: Central needs to work on more ball movement and decrease turnovers Ozen needs to keep attacking with their best playmakers and find someone that can consistently hit 3 pointers to offset the lack of height.

Ozen - 40 Central - 52 Final

Dunk count 1-0 Central.

Ozen - 31 Central - 31 End of the Third Period

Dunk count: Silsbee - 2 BC - 0 The most important stat.

Ozen -23 Central - 19 Halftime

Ozen - 11 Central - 14 End of the First Period

Not a lot of applicants for such a high profile position.

Lol

Well, all you gotta do is make 46 uncontested layups... You usually do this in practice...

It's funny that the 'Ozen parents ' were mentioned....

The opposite team's coach should be ashamed to allow a kid to just snowbird like that the whole game. At what point were you going to leave a kid back on defense?

No way . Non of those jackarses come back...

And with that, I'd be totally against that happening....

I didn't take his side. I'm staying facts... Facts states tjaybhes innocent despite the fine tooth combing. The Nederland case is also a fact. And I have a real heart. If you've looked on previous posts concerning the BISD stuff, I applaud it when they find the culprits and get them out of there. The idiot at the West Brook Booster... The jackass at Central Booster. The dumb arse teacher at Ozen, ect.

Lol. 'in my heart'. C'mon now. I'm just saying, if he was guilty, it wouldn't been brought to the forefront by now. They did an investigation already with a fine tooth comb and still nothing. But sorry to disturb you about the Nederland thing, but hey, whatever...

It's funny... After all the aligations, all the audits, all the false prosecutions, and many moons later, they're still trying to pin stuff on Thomas. And just as expected, the detractors are still here. I just figure if he was guilty, he wouldn't been convicted and arrested...But now, almost 6 or 7 years later, we're still talking about Dr. Thomas... And ironically enough, mention of the stadium arises. Seems typical. So now, once again, let's see how this pans out...

So his mom just goes around lying? Yea, ok.

Excellent drive to the basket for the memorial player to win the game with 2 seconds to go. Ozen had a chance to win it but missed the 3 as time expired... Great game.

I wonder if this is the same kid. The kid I seen last year was a athletic scoring machine and put it on Ozen JV in Nederland.

Is he on Varsity?

Ok... There was another really good athletic kid on Nederland's JV and he was REALLY good. Seeing where that kid went...

...and the all important one... Maybe the tournament brackets were tough...

That Jones kid from Nederland. Is he the same kid from JV last year from JV?
