Congrats to Coach Tammy Brown and the Lady Ozen Panthers for this monumental accomplishment...Many werent aware of this until 6-News made it known last night...Sad but true girl sports/accomplishments dont get near the attention and coverage the boy sports get...Congrats and good luck to the top 4 teams representing 22-5A in the up coming playoffs....

JustUS is only speaking the truth. Girl sports don't get covered as much, it's the way it is. How often do you see volleyball scores reported from news stations on Friday nights? Only what is called in. What about Tuesday nights? Very few are covered in person, most scores are called in. I always see a lot more baseball highlights/interviews than softball. Never see much of anything on cross country or track. Not complaining, just the truth. There are teams that win district year after year in volleyball, cross country, soccer, tennis, golf, and track and you never hear much about it, if any. The truth is, more has been covered on the news and this website about the fight between LCM and Silsbee basketball than all the sports I previously mentioned. If you took volleyball out of the mix, that fight has had more coverage than all the other sports combined.

It's not a push on our local media. It's media everywhere. You don't see many women sports covered on ESPN and you never hear about some sports unless it's the Olympics.

Ashly, if it wasn't for you interest in PNG girls soccer, how many scores would we have from their tournament year after year?

With that said, Congratulations to the Lady Panthers. Is that 10 in a row or just 10 in their history? I've only lived here for about 15 years, but didn't Ozen open around 2000?

In the local media's defense, look at the total number of posts on this website for each category mentioned. Maybe the media coverage is a reflection of what their viewers demand. If I move up north, does it make any sense for me to complain and make truthful statements about ice hockey getting more coverage than hs football?

Pretty sure no one made a comparison to getting the same coverage as football. The comment is about how little girls sports are covered. 

I'll give you one last example. I believe it is KFDM that has local coaches and some of his/her players come in and do an interview on Sunday nights (I believe it's Sunday). How often have you seen a girls sports coach and athletes brought in? It doesn't bother me, I don't have anyone playing anymore but I do agree with the original post that girls sports aren't covered very well.

If i'm not mistaking its the last 10-years in a row under Coach Brown's tenure...Ozen was created 1997-1998 school year...

I can't answer your question. I don't watch the news. It's too depressing.

News stations are about ratings. They gotta go with what the people want. Nothing personal, girls sports aren't what the majority of people want to see covered. Also is the case with tennis, golf, cross country, and swimming, both boys and girls.

I don't disagree at all. They could cover volleyball better on Tuesdays. I would have never had said that before having a daughter play though...lol.

I can't control what everyone else does in the market, but I try to make sure the girls get plenty of coverage. I coached select softball with my dad for years and have seen their games get overlooked. Also schedules move around throughout seasons. I'm required to take off Monday and Tuesday during football season. The rest of the year I'm off on Thursday and Friday. This is because I work every weekend. I will say it is MUCH harder to get results from the girls games. There are a select few coaches that text or email their finals in even if we're not covering their game that night. I at least get the score out on social media even when I'm off. Anyone can feel free to email updates to me at [email protected]. Or hit me up on twitter @AshlyKBMT12

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
