Yes it is...

Not trying to talk about football too much on a basketball thread but I have to respond. From the outside, you wouldn't know what coaches and what players were from which school. As my old name use to say "Jag Insider", I do. I am and will be one of the biggest supporters of the kids competing as Timberwolves in ALL extracurricular activities. I have attended many volleyball games, all JV and Varsity football games, volunteer on campus when my schedule allows and am preparing to attend as many boys and girls basketball games as possible. The Central and Ozen mentality will die off or at least be hushed in my opinion due to both the girls and boys basketball teams winning games and having some success. When you've won one out of six games, that's not going to help get rid of the mentality that you spoke of. As for coaches trying to establish their program, they should have brought in a neutral outsider to do that, someone that didn't know anyone. Using your words, yes neither team was "world beaters" but SHE interviewed a few coaches that I would consider "world beaters" but decided to go with the "average joe"...

Ha ha. Let me check our family tree and see where the next one will land, whether it be in Kirbyville, Orange, Beaumont or Baytown...

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...

Maroon and gold...

North Shore has scored 55, 58 and 75 points in 3 district games and will score at least 50 on everyone in district play. Hopefully the Sterling kids can at least come out of this game healthy.

I'm glad THEY went out and got a basketball coach that is a WINNER for United because THEY dropped the God dayum ball when it came to the football program...

Week 4 of district: Channelview (2-1) @ Bmt United (1-2) Thursday night game Deer Park (1-2) @ C. E. King (1-2) La Porte (1-2) @ West Brook (3-0) North Shore (3-0) @ Baytown Sterling (0-3)

Humble Atascocita (3,641) 4-0 Humble Summer Creek (2,237) 4-0 Humble Kingwood (2,659) 4-1 Pasadena South Houston (3,015) 3-2 Pasadena Dobie (4,277) 2-2 Humble (2,279) 2-3 Pasadena Memorial (3,491) 1-4 Pasadena Sam Rayburn (3,113) 0-4 Pasadena (2,790) 0-4

I guess things went really wrong...

I thought we could beat the Bulldogs, the Titans, the Panthers and at least scratch the Bruins. You see how that turned out. At this point, I'll continue to go to the games, support my boys and his teammates and report the scores but I don't have any expectations...

Standings after 3rd week of district play... North Shore 3-0 West Brook 3-0 Channelview 2-1 C.E. King 1-2 Deer Park 1-2 United 1-2 LaPorte 1-2 Sterling 0-3

I 100% agree, SHE made this decision to hire the current coach and SHE is the one pushing for his replacement to be the one on the current staff. NOBODY on the current staff is prepared to takeover this football program whether it be after this season or next and turn it into a winner. I just have to wonder if SHE wouldn't have been so adamant about Nelson not gettin it, would this team have more than 1 win? Probably so. I just have to believe that most of the outsiders that they turned away would have more than 1 win after 6 games...

Winning and losing is contagious and it starts at the top...
