Ozen 27
Nederland 17

Wait 70 pts ?

I agree why ask a question only to know the answer to it. If ppl who come out of prison deserve a second chance to be productive then why cant this young man. Dont undermine what this young man is trying to achieve by bringing up water under the bridge..how about we dig in your closet FOX and throw your past discretions around.

Lol.....

And there lies the problem people get so caught in wanting to win they sacrifice everything in order to get the almighty WIN...but actually they ending up sacrificing their kids and losing in the process...

That better not happen because Ozen will have another coach next year...

Typical of our AD and his comrads to do such a thing. A team full of sophomores and juniors with a few seniors and some want to replace the coach. Funny Nederland is 0-3 and I'm not sure I hear any of their fans saying replace him if he loses to a certain team. Not saying its you Ford ijs....this is crazy we won't allow any coaches in our district to build a program. That's the real reason we will never win in Beaumont. Has nothing to do with coaching everything to do with support from the school board, parents,fans and community. Everyone wants a big name coach..lol...im sure even they had troubles starting out BUILDING a program.

“Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.” Keep your head up Ozen Panthers your day will come ,stay strong and keep playing hard.

I question the relevance of this in the modern game. I mean, sure, it shows respect for the game, the players and fans, but is it really necessary? Majority of the players shake hands like it’s a race; they put their head down and just get it over with. You get the impression that it’s a painful task. Many players don’t even have the decency, or manners, to take a little more time and shake hands with respect while looking the person in the eye. So it's useless.

Why is this done before the game? Before the game you’re enemies, not friends. Before the game you’re concentrating on how to beat the opposing team/player , now you have to shake hands? Am I the only one who see’s this as backwards? Soon we’re going to have players hugging before games and cracking jokes. If I was a coach of a team and I saw one of my players cracking jokes and exchanging hugs with players on the other team before the game, I’d be pissed. But I digress…

Shaking hands is meant for the end of a match; the end of a battle. After both teams have executed their game plan and done all they could to win, then you should walk over to the opponent and show your respect for a hell of a effort. That is when you offer a handshake as a sign of respect.

In the end who cares? That they didnt shake hands enough for the publics liking. And no I’m not ignoring the fact that there was something said by a former board member of BISD where millions of dolllars were stolen and yes you were part of the board so that makes you guilty or does it ,character vs. personality; but that’s a very serious issue and a separate issue. Also for kids on social media if you cannot be responsbile for what you put on there then expect to receive that backlash,bottom line stay in child's place. But back to the topic of what I’m referring to is the handshake before the game. Just drop it entirely and get on with the game. Shake hands at the end of the game like you’re supposed to.

Heck I'll take an aggressive 6'5 .lol..
