Pretty fair amount of concussions, blood and broken bones in soccer. Just saying...
And no offense, but those roofers and mowers are hard workers that are putting some of my best athletes and hardest working students through college right now.  More power to them. They're living the American dream that so many refuse to take advantage of these days.
On topic: Go Longhorns

Being that you have "Ozen" in your name Ozenfinest you should know that TB was a highly recruited DB and went to the highest ranked and regarded football program maybe in history.  That can be debated on another thread.  Of course TB being sent home before the National Championship would be reported faster than a couple students getting sent to the hospital from a 4A school in small town Texas.  No race or discrimination here or from any other person on this site. That's what you get when you are apart of the best. I bet if TB made a game saving INT and ran it back for TD that would have been reported faster than anything else on this site PERIOD!!!   Sorry to bring subject back up but made my breakfast not so good.

You're asking a lot from OF lol

First off, Nederland's Brian English is an OUTSTANDING basketball coach, and probably an even better PERSON.  If you say that what he has done in Vidor and Nederland is anything less than amazing, you do not know anything about the game, and that is OK, because even those that THINK they do, DON'T.  He has single handedly taken a cellar dweller basketball program at Nederland and turned them into a LEGIT threat to beat everyone in the district, every year, no matter who he has...THATS coaching....NOW, with that said, you cannot take anything away from the coaches who have succeeded in the playoffs, and have won state championships, NO MATTER HOW MUCH TALENT you "THINK" they may have had.  Talented teams get outcoached and beaten ALL THE TIME in the playoffs, so please kill the "they have talent" excuses. Todd Sutherland is an OUTSTANDING basketball coach...You cannot take that away from him just because he happened to coach at talent rich, traditional basketball powerhouses like Kountze, EC, and HJ, so WHY is the first thing that comes out of guys mouths when it comes to Boutte, is "I'd like to see what he does with such and such team without talent"? That's CRAZY! Just give these coaches credit where its due...Head to head wins do not ALWAYS equate to one coach being better than the other either! Would you take Central's rookie head coach over Brian English? I don't think so...But you have to see the overall body of work of these coaches to properly evaluate them, and the majority of people on this board are not qualified to properly evaluate ANY coach.  Who is the GREATEST coach in SE Texas? I have my opinion, and everyone is entitled to that. But please remember to give proper credit where it is due no matter WHO you are pulling for, and you are likely to make a more accurate assessment of these guys abilities, even though it won't matter one bit at the end of the day what you think anyway! Just my two cents...

I'm wondering why the government is waiting. Do they think the guys are going to change their mind? We have several ways to resolve conflict in this country. Hostile takeover is not one of them. Yes the government owns a lot of land but you don't have unlimited rights to it. There shouldn't be any negotiations. Remove them from the premises.

Thats not the point the point is if they were black or Muslim the national guard would have been already called in and words like thugs and terrorist would be tossed around. And yes I'm talking about under the exact same circumstances. 
 
question for you how many will be arrested tear gassed etc. 
THATS REALITY YOU KNOW IT. 
Turn it to any major news channel and tell me how long you had to wait for just a mention of the situation. 
Armed Thugs /Terrorist over take U.S. government building. Tell me this headline wouldn't be plastered on all airways right now.

thugs no doubt if it was a different group doing the same for what they view as unjustice the national guard would already been called in. that's just my honest opinion... . imagine if they were Muslim. 
Thugs terrorist peaceful protesters. three different labels for three different groups of people. 

Can't compare either duo because they play different positions. Ozen's duo are a 2 guard & PG, Central's has 2 versatile SF/big guards that cause mismatch problems. Ozen has the better guards, Central has the better versatile mismatch tandem. Neither of Central's tandem are great ball handlers, nor knockdown shooters, but they are so athletic & problematic for other teams;very capable of running the offense if asked to do so. Ozen lack's size at the guard position, rebounding will be a very big problem VS the Jags(can't teach size). It will be very interesting to see the cat & mouse game played between the Coaches. I know what I would do, but nobody wants to hear that.  Lol

gonna say this. being a 7 footer in h.s. might intimidate fans, but not REAL COACHES AND PLAYERS. my senior year in high school, my good friend and neighborhood playmate, Solomon Jones took it to the 7 footer Friendswood had in the playoffs...fouled and was pissed. and lets be honest, when perkins was at ozen, he was not impressive to me. his teammate kenna younger was far better. at 6' 10, he played in h.s, just like in the pro's. BIG SORRY!! he should have avg 20+ points 15reb a game and he struggled against nederland and pn-g(this was before nederland was good and PA players still went to lincoln) so i say lets see if big man is aggressive and dominant or is he "built like tarzan, but play like jane".

I'm just glad to see him and 12 of his teammates have the opportunity to further their education and play football.  Kids like Whaley and Locke somewhat expose themselves with their talent and the offers come pouring in but for others the coaches along with parents have to put in work.  I don't know how many off the 2013 received scholarships but with 12 off the 2014 team and 6 on the 2015 team having offers to play at various levels before the season starts, something is being done right on 88 Jaguar drive.

Exert from article:
 
I found a great nugget the other day: a notice for a 10-and-under baseball team that's having tryouts for its extensive fall tournament schedule. The notice included the following sentence: "The team needs competitive youngsters who are looking to play baseball at the next level."
Let's parse that for a moment. Someone needs to explain to me what the "next level" is for a kid who's 10 or younger. I dare you to define it. Is it 11-and-under? Maybe 12-and-under? And if so, are there really 10-year-olds who are striving to play baseball at the 12-and-under level? Wouldn't it just happen naturally -- you know, with age?

​I am positive BISD can find just as qualified coaches without that baggage.
Never doubted Snoops x's and o's, just his ethics. Same for his brother.
BISD has had their fair share of scandals and corruption. Why make this kind of hire?

Can you give me an example of an "AAU system". I'm curious.  It's been a couple of summers...but the last time I saw any AAU ball it looked an awful lot like what I consider street ball. They went 5 wide on offense or 4 low and took turns trying to score on their defender using a 1 on 1 move. Most of the time it was whoever had the ball when it came across half court. Unless someone could get a fast break dunk in transition.  Zero defense from any person other than whoever was guarding the ball. Don't get me wrong...I know the game has changed tremendously and I have no problem with it. 
 
But it if that's what "can't be done" in high school, then I disagree. Unless you're speaking of a different "system". So..enlighten me. Please.

The whole Ozen ties don't sit well with me.  I would prefer if we didn't go with young Boutte...

And the one I want is young....  Under 40...  Brings fire and energy...  Plus he is very familiar with the kids, especially the underclassmen last year that will be on varsity next year.... He's more than capable of getting the job done....

Personally, the guy I want for the job is already on the staff and is a Central Graduate....

LMBO... It must be that time of year again. JRidge is bringing up his yearly recruiting rant. Lol... Please don't put the kiss of death on Ozen once again by predicting their dominance prematurely. We know how that has turned out over the last few years. Lol...

I have ref'd a couple of youth games and I must admit sometimes I just got caught up in the game watching.

He was holding hands with Orange Juice's girl.

I once saw him beat Oran Juice Jones in a rap battle under water in a kiddie pool.

So Arnold, who is committed to Baylor, wouldn't stand out on Central's football team?  
 
And based on Central's guard play this year, he would have been one of Central's best basketball players.
 
If you can play you can play, I don't care what size school you go to when you are discussing the elite of the elite.

I think every ref has a team preference, rather they admit it or not. You can tell one by the obvious calls that won't get call, or the makeup call to try and throw you off. And then when it comes to fans, hell refs are always the reason a team lost.

How the heck does Tony Brown make the list? Did you see him play in high school?

No 1 Jamaal Charles...no brainer!

HE IS A BEAST-Congrats
