SETXsports is now 20 years old!! December 2005, owner @jdawg03 started this website to promote our local high schools sports. It was a way for the fans to be a part of the sports scene here locally. Over the years, this site has grown from just a small little message board site to one of Southeast Texas media staples. Adding our broadcasts and other social media entities, SETXsports has become one of the states biggest and best high school sports websites. I personally want to thank all our staff (admins/mods/broadcasters) for all the work put in to make this website what it is today. Also, thanks to our over 45,000 members (past and present) for being a big part of the success of this site. Couldn't have done any of it without you guys. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SETXsports!! 20 years!!

Congratulations to Coach HH and the entire staff for representing SETX and 9-4AD2. Coaches have stuck to their process and now that they have better talent they have achieved higher results. Coaches have produced high level game plans and made strategic in game adjustments as they have since they took over at WOS. Now, all roads lead to Carthage who have a better player at nearly every position other than MLB and possibly a DL spot. Friday's outcome will not be the result of incompetent coaching, and it will most definitely not be because WOS ran a "50 defense" instead of a "50 defense". Regardless of the final result Coaches and WOS players have done a great job and even more so given the poison from segments of the fan base.

Best team to come out of PA ever Hell of a time to loose ya 1st game. So proud how they didn't quit when down by 10 I know 1st hand how they all feel Congratulations to Coach Morgan Congratulations to those Might Titans You made us all proud

Special thanks to SETXsports and Aaron Ward @RonWithTwoAs for providing audio broadcast for WOS this season. Many fans were thankful they were able to listen while at work Friday afternoon. Mustangs finished another historic season in Arlington. Although the results weren't what we wanted, it was as expected. Coach Surratt has been unstoppable. No other team in Region 3/4 was going to do any better. Coach Hickman should be commended for reinstalling the powerful defensive front that has turned the program back in the right direction. Defense wins championships. Well, only when the offense has the ability to score. Silver side of the ball still needs a boost. Cant be one dimensional at state and expect to out athlete the competition. The first drive showed us all we needed to see. After methodically moving down to Carthage 16. 4th and 6 call was a play action rollout with only TE as possible target. Great drive ended in nothing. Gotta put one in the air on that play. Nothing to lose. If they get an interception its same as turnover on downs. With 15 assistants for 42 players it shouldn't be hard to have one on one coaching. Especially since we only have 1 QB and 1 kicker. Obviously we still have some weak links on the staff. "We see everything and forget nothing." And just like the 1st 2 years of the experimental defense. Some of them still havnt shown they can adjust or improve on what has worked. Jefferson is a talented young man that will not be here forever. He has the ability to make almost any play work when his number is called. His record breaking season and career rushing yards is unbelievable. Not taking anything away from his accomplishments. But it's somewhat misleading about the history of our RBs and somewhat telling of our style of offense. (Pro-Style???) #4 carried us through the 4th quarter and won games in the waning minutes of the contest. Years ago we would be able to shut down the starters earlier in the game. Meaning they only played 70-80%. Also having more balanced offense meant the QB and WR had more production. Taking some of the load off our stable of powerful backs. Regardless of the past mistakes and the division that Harris pushed us all into. We have arrived once again. Now to see how the pieces fall into place for next season. Losing some starters and bringing back some keys to success. This is WOS, not the old Win-One-Soon. Now the expectations are to win championships soon. So I know I speak for the rest Mustang Nation when I say... Let's go again next year and win it all. Everyone have a safe and happy holidays. Also this is today... Coach Dan Ray Hooks Visitation will be from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m., Sunday, December 21, 2025, at Claybar Funeral Home in Orange. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Monday, December 22, 2025, at West Orange Cove CISD Event Center. Burial will follow at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Orange.

Competition was close and came down to the final week. Congrats to all the winners. Thanks to all 46 players. We'll have another chance to gain bragging rights over AggiesAreWe next season. See you all back around middle of August. It's been a privilege to continue to honor @WOSgradwith these Pickems.

Rude and crude is one thing. But making comments like that when a man and his wife are murdered by their son? That's so out of line and disrespectful. Makes him no different than the folks he was criticizing for their comments after Kirk was killed. Very two faced. We are not debating policies here. Just be a descent human being. Something I expect my president to be. Just needs to be more respectful. Not hard to do.

Some good points in this post same as last week they are NOT currently doing the same things they have since day 1.. I feet you know that and just want to stir something up,stop spreading lies..as far as this game,we all know it’s an uphill battle but so were the last several..supposing.Go Stangs!

Final 28-3 WO-S Mustangs headed to Arlington!!!

Let it go man, why do yall insist on disrespecting that man? What did he do to yall? It's his team , his players, his coaching staff, his support staff! Nobody else deserves credit for what this team is doing. Would you go to work and put forth that effort for a week, a month, a year? And then have someone get the accolades, or the money, or credit for the work you've done??? Are there any other coaches that you think their accomplishments are due to something they may have learned or picked up from someone else? What individuals doing any kind job do you know, that didn't learn something from someone else, including yourself?? The only coach I see on this site who can't get credit for the positive things that happen during his tenure is Hickman, but let one bad play happen, one loss, one miscue, and it's 1000% his fault, maybe he learned those bad plays from someone too

Watched a total of 22 high school basketball games these last three days. Going to see three more this coming Friday. Looking forward to an exciting district basketball season for our area!

After 4 years in Louisiana as a head football coach, and getting Mansfield to the third round of the playoffs for the first time in 32 years, Coach Darrell Barbay has been named the AA Coach of the Year! Congratulations!!

Stable condition and responsive..

Southlake is a better job than Katy

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!!

Death Row is just a nickname for the defense like the Chain Gang was for WOS, etc.....they've been using that for years but no one noticed it until they started winning state.. This is a simple case of adults making a poor choice to rent an Air BNB for a bunch of HS kids...the kids decide to shoot a rap video and play with guns that were loaded.....its kids being dumb....leaving HS boys unsupervised in a house is a receipe for bad behavior and they are lucky someone wasn't killed....

Just horrible…maybe this will wake up their coaches and quit wearing Death Row gear on the sideline of a high school football event.

I could care less what Reiner or any other of those Hollywood folks have to say about politics or people. They are idiots and not important to me. POTUS is important to me and what he says or does or how he carries himself in the position of the office is important to me. I believe there is a higher standard. At least there should be. Bottom line, Trump was wrong for making those comments. It was completely unnecessary. It's not what I want MY PRESIDENT to do. Show some respect. show some class. It really isn't that hard to do. I hold Trump and any President to a higher standard. That's how it should be.

In SETX, schools only opt up to play against lesser competition. Travel is not a factor.

Carthage has earned the right to be the favorite WOS has earned the right to attempt an upset Not all WOS fans are represented by the vocals on this site WOS fans have had legitimate reasons to be skeptical or unhappy. For a few years the program has underperformed to expectations H Hickman appeared to have fallen short H Hickman has now earned the respect of even most doubters Maybe a new era has begone? Some people will never be happy

Here is my 2 cents that probably means absolutely nothing.... First, This is one of those things I wish he would of kept his mouth shut.... It would have probably served him better. Someone's death is not the time to get the last word..... However, Trump has been delt some bad hands since 2016. He has been accused of being a Nazi, Racist, Pedophile , mentally unfit, crook and probably more I don't remember. There is now evidence, and pretty good evidence that he was set up to fail by the Obama administration, the Hillary administration started the Russia hoax, Biden admin and certain states used Lawfare to try and bankrupt him and send him to jail, and at his age, would of been a life sentence.....and in this political climate there was 2 assassination attempts on his life, one being an inch from ending his life..... Reiner was a very loud critic of Trump, he helped launch a committee to investigate the Russian hoax (and never admitted it was a hoax), called him unfit to serve, called him a Fascist, claimed Trump was gong to end Democracy, wanted to charge Trump with TREASON (death sentence), wanted Trump to spend the rest of his life in prison..... There was some bad blood between the two, and if we are all being honest, our opinions of people do not change when someone dies. Again, he should of kept his mouth shut, but I can see his motivation to speak out.

Completely unnecessary from Trump. Just doesn't make any sense to do that. It certainly isn't very presidential.

Carthage fan here apologizing for the error made in my very first post on this site in the Sinton thread. I posted the score of a 2008 Rockdale-Carthage playoff game as being a WO-S-Carthage game. I was relying on a website which listed all Carthage playoff games, which go back to the 40s. The lesson is not to believe everything you read! WO-S is on quite a roll. Says a lot about the character of a team to overcome the adversity of starting a season 2-3 by winning 10 straight to get to the state championship game. Expecting a great game Friday between two schools with impressive pedigrees…and some great athletes.

Prayers to your family!

Congratulations to Hiawatha and the Mustangs. Lots of crow needs to be served to all those fans calling for Hickmans job over the last few years.

Another outdated "Slot T" team in the State Championship. A few hundred "modern offense" teams can watch them next week.

Was headed for Cameron. Damn Map Quest never used it again after that debacle.

The man pulled me out of class cuz I was failing Calculus with Griff. I wasnt a star player but he told me this... idk what position play or if u play at all. But your names on my list now. So get your *stuff together or I'll be having another meeting with u that won't go so well. Get your *butt back in there and listen to Griff. Don't make me come down this hall again. Yesssir!!! And and i passed Calculus. RIP Coach Coach Hooks, stomp, stomp Coach Hooks, stomp, stomp Coach Hooks, stomp, stomp Sometimes during the pep rally it would barely stop long enough for him to speak. Then right back at it until the band played stop look and listen.

Wish Gary Stelly would come out of retirement !

No opting up in within a classification. You want to move up....you add an A!

In bold: that man was damn near headed to Lake Charles trying to find Memorial Stadium here in Port Arthur 🤣🙃

Warning, this thread will not turn into a BC/LCM bitching thread. Keep it to the subject at hand please. Thank you.

Talking bout a big pot of gumbo (home cooking) served to United. The refs had a big hand in this outcome. I’ll leave it at that

The “death row” moniker had absolutely nothing to do with what happened here. This was dumb kids being irresponsible with guns, and certainly in the orbit of even dumber and more irresponsible adults. What the defense calls itself is irrelevant to this tragedy.

A lot of people forget or just don’t know that better athletes don’t always win the game over a better “team”.

Wall is coached up really good.

Very true, in most communities. I understand why you don’t understand.

Save your energy

Some pretty massive rationalizations going on in this thread. One behavior doesn't excuse another. Sorry.

Numbers 4-7 are spot on. There’s no question many things were changed those first two years and the facts show it didn’t turn out for the better. Beginning last year they got back to more of what made Mustang football so successful and the results are speaking for themselves. He and his staff have earned more respect. I just feel very badly for the kids that played those first two seasons. All their young life they dreamed of wearing that silver hat and following in the footsteps of those that played before them and they were caught up in an experiment that went wrong. Many don’t actually place alot of the responsibility on Hickman and his staff for that, it mainly fell on the previous superintendent Ricky Harris. He wanted so badly to show the world that WO-S could be successful doing things differently and with a different style and we all seen how that turned out. Good luck to Hickman and his staff and the Mustangs on Friday. Orange is proud of yall.

The Stangs got their hands full for sure. I knew that when Carthage beat Texas Tech in a preseason scrimmage. Don't sell the ponies short, they'll bring it for sure. Bring it home Mustangs.

I really hope Randle sends SOC and their coach packing. I honestly feel bad for their kids. Football should be a place to learn discipline. Have some role models. Their coach is 3/4 of the way across the field trying to fight other coaches and players. The UIL is truly cowards.

Gasilla,ladybug33,wosdrummer99,wos#1,Mmustangfan and so on this site.hard to put in words what he meant to all of us. And the program!! He wasn't just a coach a leader.i don't know anyone who wouldn't have loved to play for him.i know many say we were spoiled for all the years we were winning.and now today's game has changed.but, the toughness he and CT expected out of all of us was unmatched.looking on FB it is sooo many ppl.sending love and support.and if y'all get a chance look at what Kevin smith wrote about him.its truly a sad day for all of us.as them kids get ready to play in the semifinals.we all gotta give the current staff credit for going back to the way things were.trust me they even tackling more in practice and even hitting the sled again after practice!! I truly believe HH learned the lesson of it wasn't broke don't try to fix it.LOL,OC well any way!! But I truly have seen a lot of the old stuff that made us great.i know he is smiling down on all of us. The ol ball coach rip dan ray hooks !!

I was just about to report this post for vulgarity, but thought it wiser to just be thankful and mind my own business. 🤣😂🤣
