Ozen H.S. Head Baseball Coach Moving On!

[JRidge]

Ozen H.S. will be looking to replace its Head Baseball Coach as he resigns to work closer to home and eliminate the long commute. We appreciate everything Coach Cullivan has done for our kids and the program as he has definitely impacted in in a positive way and has it going in the right direction. Although we hate to see him leave we do understand his decision is what's best for he and his family! We wish him all the best!

Hopefully Ozen can get a quality coach and assistant to help this program become what it can be. Currently they loose 3 Varsity starters but return 6 Varsity pitchers, all but 3rd base left fielder and center fielder. Nine of their players are currently playing in the Nederland Babe Ruth summer league and 3 of them have made the S.E. Texas Banditos Travel Team. Ozen's program in the past had been lacking having kids play baseball after the school season but now have several kids wanting to play year-round. This would be a good fit for an energetic coach with a vision.

i saw that one coming.

with a new football coach coming it looks like y'all are going to get a football guy who has to coach baseball.

That would not be good. If Ozen gets someone who can develop the program and be there for some years they will be fine. I've been helping kids in little league keep intrested in baseball. Many of them realize that they have to play summer ball and some are now playing year round. They always have talent but now some of them are taking lessons as well. Several athletes who need to gain experience, learn baseball skills and knowledge that's all. Don't cheat the kids.

Saw him twice this year and really liked the way he coached.  That is a pretty big loss for Ozen, but if he goes to a program with some experience and a little talent, I think he will be very good.  Best of luck to him and to Ozen.

I was impressed with both Ozen and Central this season. Both coaches did great jobs and had the kids competing every game.
