I think they are stretched thin. Not enough reporters and too many schools to cover in our area. And they are "damned if they do and damned if they don't", meaning that people seem to get their feelings hurt or they just get ticked off if they happen to cover one school more than the other, regardless of how well the school is doing. Kudos to the ones still trying to make it in sports journalism. It's a tough world out there.

I stand corrected. Thank you for the information. LOL

Just curious as to what point Coach T WOULD be voted as Coach of the Year by the Beaumont group? It certainly hasn't been in the last 3 years at ALL. It probably matters to others more than it does to him but it has nothing to do with being "spoiled". It has to do with the principle of the thing and makes it seem like Beaumont is a wee bit jealous of the success of WOS. WOS scores over 800 points on offense in a season and has NO ONE on the offensive side recognized. Spoiled? I don't think so.

Thanks for the correction on that. I totally skipped over where he had McCarty at South Park. I thought McCarty came from Lamar to Orange, but I could be wrong. McCarty did a great job of bringing the two schools together from what I heard.

When did Alex Durley go to Orange? And where did he coach in Orange?

KJ does not have a broken collarbone. DeMorris Thibodeaux does.

You are correct. I just looked it up. 105,995. Jeff Matthews was next with 98,111.27, and Brandon Faircloth was 3rd with 95,840.

It was recently published in the Beaumont Enterprise that he makes the highest in the area at almost 103k

I feel the same way! However, FCC regulations prevent drones from ANY sporting event, so I'm told. I see no problem with them before the game or at halftime.

We were told it doesn't matter WHO it is "for". Drones aren't permitted AT the games. I'm just saying that is what the UIL told us. I think I'll go back and ask now....

Drones are not permitted at games, period. Doesn't matter what if it's before, during halftime or after. That was the word directly from the UIL when we inquired about it.

Carthage, Kilgore, Gilmer and Celina were ALL called and asked if they would play WOS in pre-season. All declined. Kilgore said he had talked to Carthage and Carthage said WOS was the most physical team he'd ever played. Period. So Kilgore said no way could he risk playing WOS before his regular season started. LaVega was the only team (other than Kennedale) who was willing to play WOS but he'd made a previous commitment to the same kind of school that we played in KIPP. He had called and offered to send his JV to play that school but the coach for the other school didn't want to do that, so KIPP was all that was left for us to play. Get your coach to call our coach and set up a game for next year. WOS won't back down. Will Henderson?
