I think if they turn in low numbers, BISD may opt to keep them playing 5a though...
I just read that in a different thread. Why would they want to keep them in 5a? That's a pretty solid district if they drop in most sports for boys and girls.
-
Would they be traveling a lot for football? Their non-football district would likely be with LCM, BC, HF, HJ, OF, WOS, and Silsbee. That's not much traveling.
-
If Ozen drops, that non-football district could be:
LCM, Ozen, Silsbee, Bridge City, Hardin Jefferson, West Orange-Stark, Hamshire-Fannett, and Orangefield.
-
Didn't Cleveland make it to the Regional tournament and return almost everyone?
-
As much as I hate to say this, the Astros are probably done. Even though their remaining six games are against bad teams, they are all on the road and the Astros are awful on the road. I say 3-3 at best and that's not going to get it done. I hope I am wrong and they go 6-0 or 5-1. If they can do one of those two, they might win the division.

KOGT reported that she played tonight against Kirbyville.
-
KOGT says 4 games. Anyone know which is correct?

That's true with every sport. Some districts are just stronger than others. It's part of it.
Agreed but that is supposed to be the point of Area, to make sure the top athletes are getting there.
Last year Panhandle went 1-2-3 at state in the Boys shot put. That would not have happened had UIL not added the ninth qualifier. One of those three boys would have been sitting at home and they finished 1-2-3. I understand the back in the day argument (when I was in school it was top 2 to regionals), but the point of the new rules is to make sure the best athletes get through. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with the new rule because it doesn't matter, the rule is in place. The best overall athletes will never advance until Area is mandatory.

I am a local head track coach and I really liked the idea of Area when it first came about. The idea was to make Regionals better because you don't always get the top 3 in each race from each district because some of those athletes will be dropped from individual races and put on relays. You also have some districts that are tremendous in some events and it's very possible that the #4 in that district is good enough to make the Regional finals.
With that said, the idea of Area is good but I agree that it should become mandatory. If our Area meet gets rained out it will be very unfortunate for many athletes. For example, our top 5 shot put throwers trumped our neighboring districts first place throw. You also see the same results in the 300mH. Our top 6 were better than their first place finish. You can look at the results and see this in numerous events, some they win and some we win. Obviously this doesn't mean it will happen again when the districts meet up. You don't know the conditions each district was facing and how hard some athletes had to push to win their event. The purpose of Area was to benefit the athletes and get the best athletes through to Regionals. The only way to make this happen is to make it mandatory.

More 24-4A Results
http://tx.milesplit.com/meets/202989/results/363549
Freshman girls dominated the distance races finishing top 3 in both the 1600m and 3200m.
Those three girls will be very fun to watch over the next three years. I also had a Sophomore that went 13:05 and 5:53 the first two weeks of the season but was out with mono. There are at least three 8th graders coming up that can run as well. Two from HF and one from OF, I don't know about LCM as they are in a different MS district. The distance races next year should be extremely fast.

This is all I have seen released on any website. We received boys and girls through email.

To my knowledge she has not in the past. I could very possibly be wrong. I would imagine she very well might this year.
-
OK who is the number 13 on this Deweyville Video?
Kennidee Willis. She is a sophomore and was TGCA all-state. Tremendous kid and player.
-
Is Mary Hardin Baylor where the former coach went? I've watched Shelby for three years, glad to see her moving to the next level. She is one heck of a player.
-
I was told WOS beat Silsbee in 5.
-
HF will play Ozen and Dayton will play Huffman.
-
H-F won 3rd, Ozen 4th. Consolation went to Bay City. Hardin won the Silver bracket with Central runner-up. H-J won the Friendship bracket and Silsbee runner-up in the Friendship bracket.
-
Well, that does depend on whether or not you are doing a 3-step or 4-step approach :)
-
Great job to everyone on the list. I'm not sure who makes the list or how many make the list, but two of the best all around track athletes (and both made it to state) in the area didn't make the team. Just wanted to recognize Alexis Henry from BC and Becca DeLord from HF. Both are great athletes in field events and running.
-
I thought Dillon Taylor was on that team?
-
He ran a 2:02 (I think) his Freshman year. He has been at Silsee. Not sure when he moved to Warren. He's a very good runner.

I usually don't ever post anything on here unless it is reporting scores or meet results, but I just want to share what has come out of the girls side the 7 years I have been teaching/coaching (6 at HF). I know a lot of people think HF is in shambles and ruins, but we have been very successful and we have always been the smallest or 2nd smallest in the district in my six years here. Here we go:
[b]Cross Country:[/b] District Champs the past two years (Regionals every year from what I understand. Not sure about my first year here). Had a runner go to state in 2010.
[b]Volleyball:[/b] Playoffs 5 of 7 years. Only one and done once out of those 5. Had one team go to the Regional Finals. We have had several girls play in the TGCA All-Star game and many be voted to TGCA All-State.
[b]Basketball:[/b] Playoffs 3 of the past 5 years. We have had one girl be voted onto the TGCA All-Star team.
[b]Soccer:[/b] Playoffs 2 of the past 4 years playing in a 4A district with only one other 3A school.
[b]Track:[/b] District Champions 4 out of 7 years and 2 of the past 3. We have an athlete going to state this year. She was voted TGCA All-State last year and we had another athlete get voted onto the TGCA All-Star team but she could not accept because she was also on Basketball.
Hopefully we can keep winning in the sports we have been and get some of those other sports up so we can be successful in ALL sports. The most important thing...HF is a tremendous Academic school and is 2nd to only HJ in their scores in this area. It is a great school district. -
I've been looking through our records and I can't find anything. The records have some gaps in the late 90's. Kim Owen in 85/86, Terre Johnson in 85, Falesha Brown in the mid 90's, and Tamara Spikes in the late 90's all ran times that were fast enough to make it. I just don't know if they ran those times at the right time. I know you were in school around Brown and Spikes...any idea if they made it?

The records I have show Anglia Munson going to state in Shot and Disc in 2000. She placed 2nd in shot and 8th in disc.
Why Would OZEN want to stay in 5A
in High School Football 2015
Posted
I could see that happening but I believe it would create two 7 team districts (I think they used to try and keep it even numbers but I don't know if that matters anymore).
Liberty, Huffman, Tarkington, Cleveland, Livingston, HJ, Shepherd
LCM, BC, HF, OF, WOS, Ozen, and Silsbee, but Ozen is staying 5a.
So I guess we will now see Liberty, Huffman, Tarkington, Cleveland, Livingston, and Shepherd?
