I think that it is far too early to write the season off for the Panthers.  Ozen supporters and everyone else have to realize, Like Soulja pointed out, the likelyhood of Rison turning a 1-9 team to  district championship team is minimal.  I think that Rison is a good coach and should be given a chance to prove it.  It will take time to turn the program around, just as it took time for the program fall off.  It is no secret that Ozen has had its problems athletically and academically, but far too often people make a doctrine out of one or two incidents.  i.e.- because they perfomred poorly last year the school is trash.....,  No school is without problems, some are just better at concealing them.

Dayton by 3.  Unless the Panthers get some more productivity from their offense.

Maybe maybe not, heck we scored 21 on them and everybody thinks we're horrible. Ozen is not a good team at all, and I'm sorry if that offends you. Two big offensive plays and one defensive play that resulted in a TD. If our offense played as good as our D we would've scored 48 on Ozen I promise you. Maybe WB isn't as good as you think they are.

You scored 21 points but only had one real drive.  The first drive began on Ozen's 12 and the second on thier 8 yard line.  What a great display of offense by the indians.  (both were the result of bad snaps by the punt team) Which has been a consistent problem  this season for the panthers.  Panthers had "two big offensive plays, and a defensive TD", Indians had two little offensive plays after special teams fumbles and one big offensive play.  Translation, both teams need a lot of work.  You can glorify the indians' efforts all you want, but both teams need to improve to be successful in this district..

LCM over Central would be the shocker.  Lumberton appears to be much improved but I don't think they are ready for the likes of Dayton this early in the season.  8)

The reservation... fans, band, refs. etc.

Panthers by 8. 

42-6 West Brook, Stump will let his subs get more P.T. in this one otherwise it would be worse.

Great game, I agree that running back for LV is  a monster!

I say Dayton by 14

I've seen Ozen play, haven't seen the Indians play yet.  Ozen's Defense is good and getting better every week.  I think this will be  a good game and can't wait to see it.  Should be interesting to say the least.

Thank God the little man is doing better.  I will continue to pray for his speedy recovery.

If both have the same speed and so on, i would have to say start the one that fits offense scheme you are running.  Though they may both run the same .40 time, one may have better field vision, explosiveness, football I.Q. etc.  If were the coach, i would think it is a darn good problem to have   two backs who are interchangeable, a solid full-back..... sounds like depth to me.

I'm going out on a limb, I'm taking Ozen by 2.  I'm basing this strictly on the fact that I want them to win and I just have a feeling that they are much better than most people are expecting.  Turnovers will be a factor as usual for preseason games.

I heard the rumor about Falgout getting the job too.  I wouldn't be upset if this is true, but all things considered it makes more sense for Louis to start.  I guess we will all just have to wait and see!
