This will be a fun game, probably get a little rough and physical, but in the end Central will feel what Ozen felt last Tuesday night.

Wasn't the forum nice while Dickie V was in hibernation. Every thread didn't turn into "The Dickie V knows everything, and everyone else is wrong" thread. I bet Kendrick Perkins, who according to Dickie V didnt have much basketball skill and was soft, sure is grateful that as fate would have it, he and Dickie V were brought together, so that Dickie V and Boutte with their godlike knowledge and ability could coach him right into the NBA.  ::)

[quote name="ozensfinest" post="1370869" timestamp="1360205580"] Ok i have to put my two cents in this thread...the thing you fans don't understand is that teams like nederland central etc isn't that good and Ozen is still heads above the rest they just don't have the coach to show it I'm willing to bet money that if Bouttee was to take over again next season Ozen would be back running 20-4A a problem I've always had with local area fans is that they seem to have tunnel vision when it comes to their teams and lose sight of being realistic...Do you guys honestly think Nederland has a chance to make it out of Region 3? Do you guys honestly think that any team in 20-4A is state championship contender? Heck no not even close and it will show in the playoffs...stop trying to say the reason Ozen isn't dominating is because the talent is spread all over Beaumont because it has always  been that way WB has had studs and Central has had STUD its just that when it came down to who had the better PROGRAM it wasn't even close Ozen isn't the same program because of the guy who took over the program its that simple and the proofs in the pudding...Think about it when was the last time Ozen won district outright? Under bouttee...Ozen first lost in history to central was under who? Saveat are you starting to see a trend here? [/quote] You want some cheese with your whine  :'( :'( :'(

[/quote] Incorrect........Fighting for a 3 way tie for 1st.  ;) I have a question Dove? Would you rather see Nederland beat Central and have a 3 way tie for 1st? Or would you rather them lose and Ozen take second? [/quote] Would the banner on your post read tri-district champs or would you guys claim the whole title like y'all are doing for last year? [/quote] No.... I am pretty sure Coach English would want to play for it....Just as he did last year. [/quote] So the game you are referring to last year wasn't for playoff seeding? [/quote] The game last year was ONLY for seeding.  NO team wins district outright with identical district records.  I have no idea why some were claiming a district championship and not refer to it as CO district champs...

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1370699" timestamp="1360173083"] I was obviously not at the game last night so I cannot comment on if the officiating was bias or not. I can say this. I have been to many a basketball game in this area where games were officiated by either the local TASO or UIL Chapters. I have seen officials from both chapters greet and talk to fans before and even sometimes during the game. Because these guys know some of the people in attendance and acknowledge and speak with them cordially, does that mean those guys will call a bias game? I don't think so. Like I said, wasn't at the game last night, so I really do not know. But I think you guys are making the "conversing with the fans" a mountain out of a mole hill. [/quote] You obviously weren't at the game. Some refs just can't let go of the "friendships" once the game starts. It is what it is.

[/quote] I agree 100%...Nederland is not the same either, thanks to the leader of that program, BUT...The fact that Ozen no longer has the same championship swagger is more apparent...it's not an EMBARRASSING loss, but it's just not the same. You think PA Lincoln would EVER lose to Nederland? It just was not happening. That's how that program was built, and although it was not the same in the end, they still beat who they were EXPECTED to beat. I mean close games with PNG?? That's not suppose to happen at Ozen, but it's just not the same Ozen. [/quote] You are right- its not the same Ozen.  The talent is spread across Beaumont now instead of the majority of basketball players going to Ozen as they once did.  You keep mentioning things such as "do you think PA Lincoln would EVER lose to Nederland?  A few years ago, you could have also asked "do you think Ozen would EVER lose to Vidor" and we now know the answer. [/quote] Dickie V just likes to live in the past. Reality is just too hard to accept sometimes.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1370683" timestamp="1360171301"] BTW, if the tall official is the same College Station chapter official that officiated the HJ/Silsbee game at Ford Arena, then I can understand why he greeted and chatted with some fans at the game. He is from this area. [/quote] Well there you have it!!

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1370669" timestamp="1360169795"] Which ref? The bigger one? If so, he shook hands with everybody at the start of the game, or at least tried to. He tried shaking hands with the kid in the tie (bookkeeper?), but the kid didn't see the ref extend his hand to him. [/quote] Yes the tall one. I'm talking about him mingling with the Ozen fans like he knew every one of them. Same ref that gave coach E a tech in our 1st game against Ozen. Maybe he's just mad coach E wouldn't agree to a local chapter and he had to drive all the way from college station. Regardless, horrible ref.

Nederland always plays 8 on 5 there [/quote] Just like when teams play 8 on 5 in Nederland. [/quote]The refs in both meetings were from the College Station chapter. So if you are insinuating home town cooking, then fish elsewhere. 2 of the refs officiated both games. The 3rd ref mentioned from last night did everything in his power to enable an advantage for the Panthers. If you weren't there, then you wouldn't understand. Ozen fans sitting near the Ned fans were laughing about his calls bc they were so blatantly obvious. [/quote] This ref came in during JV game walked in front of Ned stands and a group of Ozen fans sitting courtside and he greeted each of them!! Most flat out biased ref I have seen in a long time.

We only had 6 or 8 points from the rest of the team. We just gotta get some others involved offensively. If I remember right, English had 18 of his 22 in the 2nd half.

I don't see a total of 4 points again by the other 3 seniors as they did in there first meeting.  I think those 3 boys have something to prove and will help contribute in this game. I predict Bulldogs by 5.  Go Dogs!!!!!! [/quote] I don't really think some of you realize Ozen's schedule this year and how they played against the top teams this year. They have played against at least 5-7 top ranked teams in the Greater Houston area. Ozen will do well against Nederland. [/quote] They may have played against 5-7 top ranked teams..... But how many did they win?

[quote name="TopFlight" post="1369604" timestamp="1359923118"] I believe Ozen will shoot the ball very well against Nederland because English has a bad habit of trying to play percentages. Kinda like he did against HJ...A zone is disrespectful don't think for a second the Panthers won't eat that up alive and also we are playing at home...Now I wonder if you still like your chances of winning this game. Nederland can ONLY go possibly 2 deep in their bench before it starts to get cloudy for them...And trust this time we won't call the dogs off ;D 8) [/quote] I would play the percentages and probabilities too. The probability Ozen shoots 70% from 3 land again is VERY LOW
