The neighborhoods that flank Ozen from Sarah St. to Cardinal Dr. to Fannett Rd. From Fannett Rd. to Colleg St. between 4th and 11th Streets is all zoned for West Brook, Marshall, and Vincent Middle Schools. This is why Ozen has low enrollment. Then there is a small area near Central that is actually zoned for Ozen. Why who knows. The area near Caldwood Elm. is what they call dual zoned for Ozen and Westbrook. Guess who gets the short end of the stick in that. The zoning in BISD is horrible and its time to be addressed, jmo

All BISD has to do is stop zoning that elementary(ies) that are zoned to Marshall and Vincent and zone them to either SP and Odom.  WB's numbers may drop into 5A and then they'll all be in the same class with the driving distances reduced.  Well they have 2 years to figure it out

BISD is trying to save  money using that same old OC Mike Taylor philosophy. If you are not familiar with him, he is the one who closed all the other high schools in the first place. They never should have opened Ozen there in the first place, BISD has even tried for force kids to go to Ozen. They tried it with my daughter.. I am, however for keeping it open because it gives 22 more kids an opportunity to play football, 5 more for basketball, etc. That's another valedictorian and honor grads. It gives the kids opportunity. The problem is zoning and freedom of choice. They need to rezone the schools to something normal. They have talked about neighborhood schools but that does not apply to high schools. I live near Central but I'm dual zoned to Brook & Ozen. My kids graduated from different high schools cause I moved across the street. Going to a regular zoning plan makes more sense which is probably why they won't do it. 

The whole point is that BISD is not going to let them compete with like sized schools. They are going to force them to play up a classification and therefore put them at a disadvantage on the football field.

Thread should be locked/deleted anyway. Who cares where this bum goes? Trouble seems to follow kids/adults who have the moral code to punch women. Where he plays basketball next should be irrelevant. 

Just because he may have left Beaumont does not mean the arm of the law can't reach him to get his side of the story.

you hit the nail on the head. Your assumption is correct I heard. All you said is what took place from what i was told.
 

A fight with a female student that "didn't look good". Surely we can get an account of the incident. This sounds disgusting. Not eligible to play seems light for something like this. Not able to attend school/somewhere behind bars seems much more appropriate. Though, I am just assuming he beat up a girl. I would love to hear reliable or official accounts before I jump to conclusion.

Cat's out of the bag....I knew all about the incident...Tried not to bring that up.

Atwood is clearly the best player on that team!

Poor free throw shooting for Ozen and also poor team play especially the last 3 mins. it was all 1 on 1 who can do their own thing. Ozen will have to be able to run an effective play to get a key shot in tough games and not play ground play without execution. Central's Attwood carried his team as the rest of the Jags contributed with whatever else was needed. I do believe the Jags struggled with the pressure but Ozen did not capitalize on their mistakes. All and all Jags will always be competitive and so will Ozen. Congrats Jags!

Friday at the Berry Center!  Taj Mahal of SE TX HS football stadiums!  Can't wait!!!!

Not sure how many but it only takes 1 to get a free ride! Some professional ball players acquired only 1 offer and made the best of it and essentially that is the key, making the best out of what you have! Let's Go & Get that Paper!

He is going to have to do something.  I don't know how many Seniors they had this year but that JV and Freshman team won't be much of any help in replenishing the Varsity from what I have seen of them. 

so it was postponed due to possible rain and it could of been played. what happens this weekend when it rains again?

BROOK BROOK BROOK WESTBROOK in runaway fashion!!

West Brook by three touchdowns !

Great story on a great kid, keep up the good work Mr Boseman. Comes from a good family & siblings are attending college also. Saw this kid years ago, he's always has been very respectful.

Enough with the comparsions at running back ,each one have quality's that are good, not like they are competing against one another, it's a team sport.Every one is going to feel their guy is better based on the team they follow.Now that we have that understanding, let's revisit this after Friday night. Personally following  Ozen ,LIL C is a special player, one of, if not the best running back that have come through Ozen.Not taking anything away from Krautz or Whaley both are good, however at their respective schools they have had better running backs b4 them.Central keeps good running backs, I will never forget Leland Mcelroy.

NedHomer, I'm with you on this one, but don't count out the BMT W team.  They will be a good test for the Ned B team last week of season.  They gave Lum W all they wanted and the game could have gone either way.

Totally agree they gave Ned W all they could handle also , they are very good.
