In regards to never dominating anything other than this area ever, actually they have. Girls basketball 1939-1954, the HSGBLT (High School Girls Basketball League of Texas). The HSGBLT held a state tournament in Waco and Hillsboro and crowned a girls basketball state champion in the era before the UIL began holding a girls basketball playoff and crowning a state champion. From 1939 to 1952 there were no classifications., one tournament for all schools regardless of size. In 1953 and 1954 there were 2 classifications, 1A for big schools, 2A for small schools,
The following quote taken from a website www.drbillywilbanks.com chronicling the history of girls basketball in the state before the UIL took over the sport:
“East Chambers was the most successful girls team at the HSGBLT from 1939-1954 making the 16-team state tournament 8 consecutive years from 1947-1953.
The Buccaneers were state champs in 1947 & 1953 (2A), finished 2ndin 1949 (losing in sudden death OT to Seagoville), 3rd in 1948 & 1950, and won the consolation title in 1946, 1951 & 1952.
The Buccaneers had at least one player on the All State Tournament Team every year from 1946-1953 and had a 32-6 record at state from 1946-1953.
East Chambers finished 45-0 in 1947 as the win in the final marked the team's 45th consecutive victory”
It may not be football or recent but it was something.
 

We are always underDogs in Nederland because we don't get any D-1s , shoot we don't hardly get any D- 3 s but we got some great coaches ( wizards) even so I don't know how we will be able  to hang in there  for these next 3 ? May not even show up for Raiders I mean who wants to get run over by  a  lumber train !  Good luck Raiders ! 

Between Chopper and Mr. Randle we are talking mega Mis - coaching . I can't even imagine the difference if they played for LN a Nederville . Randle was one of our favs @ Ozen and has already proven the point @ Lamar . Like our Krautz , exciting player and hopefully teammates !

Thanks to All of you well wishers, I will certainly tell Mr. Randle his efforts didn't go unnoticed. It's great when not only Ozen fans appreciate the effort, but opposing teams as well. Rodney keeps in touch with the players & holds no grudges. He was taught to be a Team player & do your job. It was frustrating at times, but rewarding because of Life's lessons that he had to endure & his faith in God helped pull him through.  I know he would really Love for the focus to remain on his former Teammates and their Goals they set for the season. Again, thanks to All of you.

I don't put much stock into freshman games.  In Beaumont you have kids merging from various schools, some learning new positions, learning a new offense and new terminology.  Now JV on the other hand, that's a whole different thing.  Jaguar Freshman 3-2 (losses to Nederland and Vidor).  JV 5-0.
 

I'm not quite sure what people expect to happen at GCM. No one puts in all those hours and wants to lose (players or coaches).  I may not agree with every decision a coach makes, but I know for a fact that not one coach at any level prepares to fail. It's a hero or goat job. Someone is always unhappy with you no matter which one you currently are.
I'm not at practice so I can't comment on how these guys are being prepared. I'm willing to bet, based on the games I have seen, that they are not being coached to do some of the things they do.
 Now, with the 9th grade at RSS doing so well, I'm sure kids will start to talk about transferring. Been that way in Baytown for years. Everything goes in cycles. 
Taking care of business in the classroom is on the player. They are given every opportunity in the world to take care of their business. Coaches and teachers do all they can. At some point you have to assume responsibility for yourself.
Bottom line, winning is a habit. Unfortunately so is losing. Sounds like we need to break one of these habits.

Recruiting is a strange game and I will never claim to understand what some coaches are thinking.  But a bunch of schools missed the boat on Rodney Randle, including Bmt Ozen.  Shame on them.

The enrollment doesn't matter if kids dont participate. Getting really tired of explaining that to ppl around here in this area, better get yall arse up and watch football in different areas of Texas other than the elbow/underarm of Texas and find out firsthand.

I got Central in a close one , maybe another cardiac contest . Vidor has several good backs but they also have their own nervous every touch guy . This whole district this year is trying to keep fans off the bleachers ! Hope it's injury free for everyone .

There no charge to park @ the Butch...  Smh. And Nederland has gotten better since the fist game... Nederland would give you game.  Just like an Ozen team that barely made the playoffs last year did....

Y'all always throwing slugs any chance you get.  

Haven't seen one thing about this game yet,, usually other games start getting hype saturday mornings. .all I'm saying is never look past anyone,, anything on any friday night can happen..

I see a lot of these post saying png has better talent and Nederland somehow wins. I would argue Nederland has had the best player in this game the past 5 years. 

Brindza - kicker for Nederland.  3 FGs, one from 43, and the game winner with seconds left.  Also perfect on 3 x-tra points.
I would also throw Dean Fisher and Jack Giblin in the discussion, both had monster receiving games

Yeah I remember when they started calling it Mid County Madness, before that it was just Bulldogs and Indians, But I agree every year keep calling it MCM and at the end of the game the Bum Phillips Trophy goes to Nederland, simple enough huh?

If that's the case, then we lose, point blank...

With both being 1-2 in district and that win for both being over the lowly Ganders, the looser takes themselves out of the playoff picture in my opinion...

Raiders on a mission ! All Raiders . 

Of course not, you know how It goes. I hope he's heathy to play, I want to see us play teams best on the fIeld. No excuse needed from either team. I hope his injury doesn't hurt his future most of all.
