Why would anybody host an Area meet and not have FAT times?
Does not make sense, especially since there are Wild Card spots in the state meet up for grabs.

Thank you, I am far from a track guru. I appreciate the information.
 

The top 2 from each region advance to the state meet, followed by the fastest 3rd place time out of the 4 regions taking the wildcard spot. 

Ozen's history:

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Panthers have made playoffs 10 of the 18 seasons, going 3 rounds deep once (2011) and 2 rounds deep twice (2000, 2004). Never making regional final. Ozen's playoff record is 5-10. Ozen's overall record is 89-101 (.468)
 
Silsbee history:

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Since Ozen was open in '98, Silsbee has made playoffs in 14 of the 18 seasons, going 4 rounds deep twice ('98, 2015), three rounds deep once (2012) and two rounds deep three times (2008, 2009, 2013). In the 18 seasons, Silsbee's playoff record is 13-14. Silsbee's overall record is 110-91 (.547)
 
I thought it was only fair to compare the two programs in the past 18 seasons, when Ozen started.
Silsbee does have past playoff success that trumps Ozen but I think that is irrelevant to this matter.

No.....   Only Regional time

NRG failed miserably. They did not take care of the teams, coaches, media or written press. The crowds were bad and yes, the money was down. The UIL is a business, and making money should be important. But regardless of how much money was lost, the fact is NRG hates hosting High School games and does a horrible job in game presentation should be the over riding factor. AT&T loves High School football and love him or hate him, Jerry Jones takes care of the teams, coaches, and media. And it is just a much more pleasurable experience, keep the games in DFW, I will be happy to make the drive.

oldschool - I always appreciated your posts. hope you come back soon

Old school was one of the few on here that wasn't scared to bring the truth to the table about whats really going on down here...he says what everyone else is scared to say or hear....but its the truth...and the majority of people on this site cant deal with the truth of whats reallly happening down here....everyone is wearing rose colored glasses

No way man. I wish it was in Dallas every year. It's just better there. It's the best football venue out there, it runs off smoother has more attendance a better atmosphere etc etc etc 

Congratulations on a fine accomplishment. Not an easy task to earn a D1 scholarship in football and definitely not an easy task to gain acceptance into Rice University. Both accomplishments are worthy of high praise.

Not gripping, just a real big fan of Freedom of Speech. I feel like as long as the statement is not slanderous or liable then we should allow it to be discussed.
As administrators of this site, I understand your position and respect you and your rules. I just like information and disagree with what is news.  

Just curious what the inside scoop was.

I'm hearing they have lost a major contributor on their coaching staff.

Turf fields pay for themselves over time.  Water, mowing, paint, maintenance, etc...That's including a practice field.  Because with a turf field...you don't need a practice field.  Plus the money you spend on man hours doing those necessary jobs.  Plus the fact that turf fields are weather resistant...isn't there more rainfall in this area of the state than anywhere?  Just saying.
Plus the potential for extra money (hosting playoff games).  Silsbee would be an ideal venue due to the size of the school plus location.  I don't know of very many coaches searching the state for a grass field to play a game on.
 
I'm sorry...but it's more about ignorance than anything.  If taxpayers knew the amount of money they would eventually save, every high school would have a turf field.

Michael Allen is a heck of a coach. He knows his stuff, will always be prepared, is great in film study and opponent breakdown, he will have the defense playing aggressive, smart and with reckless abandon. They will be fast to the ball, physical and force numerous turnovers. He is also an amazing motivator and relates very well to the kids. He is a great addition to the staff. Now, we will see who comes on the offensive side to hopefully balance out the run heavy head coach.

If you sleep on Dayton and the new energy Nations is bringing then that will be a HUGE mistake. There is no doubt in my mind that Dayton will be District Championship contender this season.

Very, very, very few teams actually throw more than they run.
Teams that are balanced (50/50) or close to it (60/40 - Run/Pass) are the ones that get accused of playing basketball on grass and being undisciplined. 
And any team that lines up with 4 wides better be throwing to all 4 of them or they are giving away tendencies.

Most people think Silsbee threw the ball more than they ran.  I don't know the numbers but Silsbee ran out of the shotgun with a spread offense.  More running than throwing, just had huge plays on the throwing end due to run success and size, speed mismatches with the receivers.
jmo

They don't Throw the ball to four wrs.....
Teams you listed spread the field & play tempo....

I don't think a "disciplined" coach has to be run heavy.  I think disciplined refers to how your team handles itself not how it plays. And of course you can win games without establishing the run but it makes it sure makes it better and more consistent to have both. Now as far as being a players coach and being undisciplined, it may not always be the case but they generally run together.  Generally if a coach is laying down the law more players are upset with him so he isn't considered a players coach. Now some coaches garner enough respect to have well disciplined teams without having to lay down the law. 

I'm going to say Dayton makes the biggest jump, rise or improvement. Anybody know who the OC and the DC are? I'm sure the offense will be better and the defense has to improve.
