WB "Mr. 35" Cameron Mickles. 5'10 (PG) has the ability to get you 30pts. 5rbs. 5assist, 5 steals a game. Still a Fr. though so numbers may not reflect as high this year but skillset is there!
BU Traylen Porchia 6'6 Fr. is long an active finishing around the rim is a good one! Also, one of the best shooters around is BU 6'2 Fr. Wesley Yates has a high basketball IQ & is very capable of knocking down 3's from deep to impact a game!
Bright futures ahead!

Exposure for potential College Prospects means everything! If you can play put yourself out there to get noticed! (Place a video if you know someone is a potential College prospect!"

As a Basketball Skills trainer i see the lack of fundamentals in every level of basketball from Elementary, M.S. & H.S.! I work with Silsbee's #22 D. Matthews and after 3 months she's increased her steals and went from 10pts. a gm. to 20 plus and her skillset is increasing! She has some things we need to improve but she will show how the training improves her overall gm.! It's not just about playing you have to train to attract those coveted scholarships!

I actually thought Vidor would make the playoffs last year because the young kids had matured over the years. I know it's only 1 game, but that offense is clicking & the defense ain't too shabby. Ozen on the other hand played 2 schools we had no business playing IMO. I told folks before the season started Ozen would be ok.  Again it's only 1 win so far, but the Panthers have some playmakers on both side of the ball. Any team expecting an easy out will be very disappointed. Once the offense moves the ball just a little, teams are in for a game. Our punter may be an All District Selection if he keeps kicking the way he has been the past few weeks. This will be a pivotal game for both teams. 2-0 in District sure would be nice for both, but only one will make that claim. Good luck to both Teams & praying for an injury & DRAMA free game. Go Panthers!!!

I love it, everybody pump for some football! I'm just glad the game is played in-between the lines and not online! Lol, Ozen should just forfeit from what I'm hearing. I have 2 boys who just returned last week and several others who I've  had the pleasure  in coaching. They have heart and won't just lay down, besides Central misses Ozen's new coaches because they kept the players motivated. A better defensive scheme should be able to slow some of those Pirates big plays down. "Let's Go Panthers!"

Congrats to Nederland's Colby Price(Panola) on receiving both of these awards

West Beaumont PeeWee Blue will win it ALL!!!! Will go undefeated 

Beaumont Warriors Peewee has only 3 returning players with tackle experience. Very young team so everyone  take it easy on them. There still drinking  Similac! Lol 

same league you are talking about, I have already been in contact with your HS coach 

I agree that he will work hard and is dedicated to the success of the program as it being his alma matter. Good guy who generally loves the kids and is a good educator. He has a creative mind and a hit 'em in the mouth 1st mentality. It may take a minute but he will turn things around for the best. It's not just a paycheck for him like the previous 2 HC's.

Congratulations to Coach Taylor he is a good man, a good coach and teacher as well as a person who is concerned about the school and his players. Good luck to him and the Panthers. 

This is funny stuff.. Boutte is one of the all time greats!  There is no debating that.  Even Boutte will tell you he has been blessed with talent.  Boutte just like plenty of other coaches has had teams that over achieve and a few that under achieved.  Boutte would not win state in Lumberton or Nederland just like no one else has.  However, there is no guarantee that English or any other coaches in this area would win state at Ozen or Lincoln (back in the day).  Is Boutte solely responsible for Perkins development?.  No.. Did he play a role in it?. Absolutely.. If Boutte gets credit for Perkins success then he gets credit for his short comings too right?. Thats why all this is comical.. Coaches play a role in all players both good and bad.. To win a state championship takes as much luck as anything.. The ball will have to bounce your way at some point along the way to winning one.. A coach's greatness cannot be defined by state rings alone especially at the high school level.. Plenty of great coaches who havent won and plenty who have.. It is just as hard to coach a team loaded with talent as it is to coach a team with very little talent.. Each has a different set of battles but both are equally difficult.

I was impressed with both Ozen and Central this season. Both coaches did great jobs and had the kids competing every game. 

Ozen H.S. will be looking to replace its Head Baseball Coach as he resigns to work closer to home and eliminate the long commute. We appreciate everything Coach Cullivan has done for our kids and the program as he has definitely impacted in in a positive way and has it going in the right direction. Although we hate to see him leave we do understand his decision is what's best for he and his family! We wish him all the best!
Hopefully Ozen can get a quality coach and assistant to help this program become what it can be. Currently they loose 3 Varsity starters but return 6 Varsity pitchers, all but 3rd base left fielder and center fielder. Nine of their players are currently playing in the Nederland Babe Ruth summer league and 3 of them have made the S.E. Texas Banditos Travel Team. Ozen's program in the past had been lacking having kids play baseball after the school season but now have several kids wanting to play year-round. This would be a good fit for an energetic coach with a vision.

Saw him twice this year and really liked the way he coached.  That is a pretty big loss for Ozen, but if he goes to a program with some experience and a little talent, I think he will be very good.  Best of luck to him and to Ozen.

That would not be good. If Ozen gets someone who can develop the program and be there for some years they will be fine. I've been helping kids in little league keep intrested in baseball. Many of them realize that they have to play summer ball and some are now playing year round. They always have talent but now some of them are taking lessons as well. Several athletes who need to gain experience, learn baseball skills and knowledge that's all. Don't cheat the kids.

See, this is the info I want to read. Deeper details of what you need or don't need in a coach. No generalizations.

Congrats to these guys. Maybe someone can list what positions they were recruited for at the next level and is that different than what they played in high school. 

I haven't posted for awhile because I don't have a dog in the fight anymore. How can we ask a kid to Honor any commitment if these Coaches are allowed full range, but yet have the ability to hold kids hostage or leave them in dire situations like this?? Every opportunity I get I tell kids/families my son's saga at Ozen; not out of spite, but for encouragement. The numerous Coaches, disrespect, lies etc..
But God is still on the Throne. My advice is and always will be to Train hard, don't get ready, be ready for any and everything. Favoritism and politics are real, the only thing you can control is your attitude and yourself. Feel bad for the kids, so glad I didn't have to deal with this sort of crap when I was chasing dreams.  BISD has to do better in the classroom first, then everything else will follow suit.
