Congrats! I hope you either win the 7 on 7 touch football SuperBowl or sell the most girl scout cookies!! LMAO!

You're the guy on here whining about fees to play, but now you don't like the info given to you; now you have stooped to belittle people?? I'm sure the kids don't have the same attitude as you. Such a good sport Sparky ;) 

You mean like Ozen???  I seem to remember them going to Lufkin last year for the SQT.  They must have had a rich, city slicker, uncle take care of all expenses for them.  :)  If you don't like 7v7, then say you don't like it.  But don't make sad excuses why poor lil johnny can't make it to a tournament.  Nobody is buying that bull. 

Absolutely correct, my wife & I transported & sponsored a couple of kids to that Lufkin 7 on 7.

I would be more than happy to give anyone some fundraising ideas if their trying to raise funds to get to tournaments

If you guys are trying to compete in State 7on7, it's equally expensive for all who participate; furthermore it's a separate entity from HS football & is paid for by parents of kids participating so I don't see the gripe. I suggest you guys get your pennies saved up or get to fundraising. Whining isn't allowed in 7 on 7 either. To the smart guy talking about " not talking about scrimmage". This was a suggestion for you to save money. I hope you aren't the "small school" representative. Sheeeez some people

Why cant small schools participate with schools in their general area? I dont see whats keeping them from doing that, rather its going up against larger schools are not.

Small schools can compete. Cut expenses by calling various schools 7on7 coach to set up scrimmage. It's done quite often. Ozen & Memorial twice last summer

They called him that up at North Crowley...........

Damn, we should have done better research SMH

The coach was a son of a gun. Has been on "leave" for several weeks, the kids have not been working with the weights, and they were not planning any spring training. He moved his son two weeks ago, and could have let the district know at that time. Magoo wanted to play 2 and 3A teams so his record would look better.

Magoo Bwahaaaaa that's a good one

I'm just SMH at this whole situation. Some things I want to say but won't. Anyhow, I hope Ozen gets someone who can turn the program around. The talent is definitely there for them to do what Central did from 2012 to 2013.

We are ready to move forward. You're fortunate you didn't have to experience it firsthand like the players did. SMH

No joke, he can turn them into a monster.

You know how Shady "you Know who" can be, may have tapped my phone & thwarted ALL efforts :lol: 

Dialing Mr Ponder now...............................  Lol 

Now we can finally move on..................... To what?? We shall see :wacko: 

The sad thing is that the current Jr's will have 3 different Coaches their last 3 yrs of school. This wouldn't be a problem if you had a program already established, but we are Miles away from being Established.

Very pitiful & Sad.  Now the people that thought their Butt-Kissing Efforts got them ahead................ News flash, time to get those lip injections Cuz it's "Butt-Kiss-Fest" 2014 ;) 

By the way there is a shortage of Chapstick, so careful when you PUCKER UP :P 

A lot of people don't realize the time and effort these kids put in by themselves when everybody else is sleeping. The summer months allow certain players to play against other major D1 players who been putting in the same work. High school allows these kids to play in different systems. High school gives the kids more (team) gym team. Both are a benefit.

Spoken like a true scholar. Hey Dove, you wouldn't happen to have any experience with would you?? :P 

 >>>>>> (smirks cuz I know i'm being messy) LOL

High School ball is not where you get better anyways!

I disagree, you do get better in HS in the right programs. Too often we discount our HS Coaches. Just like anything in life you have to take the good with the bad. Why is it when it comes to Basketball we think the players don't get better playing for their HS teams? Kids play other sports in HS do we pass the same judgement? If your kid isn't putting in the extra work on his/her own they won't get much better. I can guarantee Alexis put in tons of extra work to get looks from D1 schools as a MS athlete. Bottom line, don't expect the HS Coach to work miracles when your Child isn't seeking Miracles. JMO

Well Bigcam, Ozen is considered the bottom dwellers of 20-4a because of their past history! The district arguably has some of the best baseball teams in this area year in and year out, therefore Ozen & Central has a lot of work to do to become contenders! But, the good news is both programs are starting to have large numbers of kids who have been playing this game for awhile now. If they had a quality coach in Little League as some have, then their programs should improve each year. They may shock some teams this year and make the playoff race more interesting due to some possible upsets! :o Lol

Let's Go Panthers!!!

BIGCAM,DOVE THAT MENTAL TOUGHNESS GOT ON GIRLS BUS AND RODE TO THE GAME WITH THEM. THEY NEEDED IT DOWN BY 5 WITH 2 MINUTES TO PLAY. 2 SENIORS
THIS A YOUNG TEAM. CONGRATS LADY PANTHERS O THE WIN. :)

Time & again, the mental toughness comes through, i.e not getting rattled when facing adverse circumstances. Those that don't possess the "toughness" don't understand it.
Go Lady Panthers!!!!

That is until we start fighting during the season...lol. We'll have to meet up at one of the Hamburger Depot shows, If I can work up the nerve to go back. You know I talked a lot of smack about Crosby and should have kept it zipped. :D

We've all wrote a check our................................ you know the rest :lol:    But I really would like to set up a meeting with a few peeps on here @ the Depot one day

You got a spy in our camp now Bigcam..lol

NDNation, you & I haven't met, but I can tell we can be friends. I love your posts.  I coach Summer ball & I have kids from a few different towns in SETX, so I have met quite of few people in LOW places :D 

I'm not big on stats because I don't believe they tell the whole story, but I have someone close to Indians athletics send me some stats. I don't know how accurate they are, but maybe some of the Indian Faithful can weigh in on this.

Walker's stats against teams that made playoffs. Crosby,LCM,Central,SC,NED

47/101(46%) 620 yds  5 TD'S  10 INT'S.  If this info is accurate; for the sake of Debate what does a Coach do?? I don't envy his position. Either way I Pray the Team rallies behind whomever & stay focused. Like i've always said, Most Fans are full of CRAP anyways.

Well..... Whatever the strategy Crosby played in "backing off and not showing too much" sure didn't help much in their arse whipping suffered at the hands of Elgin the very next week. Sad that all that talk about that deep playoff run only resulted in a skid mark run as dark as a chocolate hershey bar in their jockey shorts.

Dayum!!!!! that's funny :lol: 

I plan to start a book with all of the "CAMisms" that are on this board and overheard at local sporting events. This is a good one. It ranks right up there with when BigCam told MTC to "Shut up while grown folks is talking!"

Don't worry BigCam. I'll split the proceeds with you. :D

Lol, this is what happens when there is a shortage of Meds. You must know who I am, especially if you've seen my Teams play. By the way I'll expect full compensation Sir

Great job BIGCAM. I met Rodney over a year ago and every time we talk I come away impressed.

Thank you WB

I watched this young man develope through the years as one of my little league running backs who showed talent early on. He is one of the most hardest workers I've seen! Give him the opportunity and he will make the most of it and he can do it on both sides of the ball!

Isn't great to see the once Pee-Wee leaguers now playing Varsity. I think most of them are fromer STA Raiders

Cam ,I agree, whats for you is for you and fournately you are a wise parent that have been battle tested, and I am sure you  install those qualitys in Rodney.You and I both know you can not run from adversity because that is part of life ,the main thing is to know who you are and  where you are going in life but always put God first.Their are many stumbling blocks ,haters and politics out their but the cream always rise to the top.Rodney is a great player and he will get his just rewards ,no doubt in my mind he will get noticed, scouts look at quality not quanity, grades and maybe family back ground in which he have all those covered.

Thanks for your kind words. I was raised to give an 'Honest day of work & expect an Honest day of pay."   We have high standards & expectations for our kids, but at the same time, we  do not attempt to shield them from or make excuses for them.  This has truly been a blessing for Rodney. This has shown him that LIFE isn't Fair, but you can't quit or go around complaining at every chance you get.   I'm Hard, but i'm Fair, most who meet me know i'm not about B.S and don't entertain it.  I give Respect, therefore I receive Respect.  We were placed here to Glorify God & help each other. We teach our children these principals so they can incorporate it in their lives & the lives of others they meet. We don't always do or say the right things, but the good intentions are always present.  Count your Blessings, Repent & thank God for Grace & Mercy, because it Sustains us ALL.   You got me started rc2182,  I'm done now    Lol

Na i definitely think he a Lil C could split carries I can tell Rodney has some toughness about him from watching his film, however this could lead to feuding between the two. I remember when C-Mike and Albert had to split carries(C-Mike eventually became the starter and featured back) they hated one another off the field. So hopefully that won't happen in these two case. 

Finest, i Teach my son to try to leave the program in a better place than he found it. There will be no feuding, you feud when two are of equal Talent. Well, I can tell you first hand no other back @ Ozen is worthy to hold his Jock, but with all the politics & bull that go on, Rodney will just play his Role & continue to be a Team player.   Lil C & Rodney are good friends and Rodney will continue to Mentor him & also learn from him. Make no mistake Lil C is very Talented & his time will come, I just think some Nosey A_ _ Alums & hating Coaches tried to hinder Rodney's progress because he isn't one of their "chosen" ones. What God has in store for Rodney, no man can stop.  Adversity builds character & he got the Shaft this Season, so he is stronger, wiser & Hungrier. I Pray that any Parent that reads this thread & has a kid in the same situation can be encouraged. Haters only put up stumbling blocks or forks in the road. Stay the course & press on.  Leave it in God's hands & continue to Pray. In Rodney's case, he let go & let God & you can see what has unfolded as of now. ;) 

Go Panthers!!!!!

Oh, Bigcam, You're funny ALL season long :D I just don't "LOL".

I'm funny when I'm off my Meds. I found out about Magee because of your post. My Ozen contacts are slipping Lol
