What else are we supposed to say honestly? You guys (I love your stuff, no kidding) but you promote and glorify teams along with the UIL who gain advantages. Everyone knows what's coming and it's extremely difficult to compete with it. And somehow it's "racist" to bring up recruiting? Still haven't figured that one out. It is what it is man. The rules are there that allow it currently but it doesn't impress me. They have the most transfers in the state. That should not be allowed OR the school should be able to do it if they move up to a much higher classification. It's common sense to most but not all for some reason. Crown them. We are still coming, and we are bringing hell with us.

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!!

While I would have liked to see them score a TD and make it a closer game, what a great and fun season for those boys. They brought some life and Cardinal spirit the likes of which Larry Ward stadium hasn’t seen in years! What a fun ride it’s been! It’s a great day to be a Cardinal!

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.

Do we still want to fire the coach? Or.. not yet? Or.. never mind? Just making sure I’m keeping up.

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

This has gone long enough. When folks start talking about race of the coach, that ends the thread.

They are and for that reason I hope UIL moves PNG and Nederland back to Reg 3… no reason to be playing DFW schools in bidistrict or this early in the playoffs…

Go ahead and download it. All state championship games will be streamed on that app. It’s free

I live in Port Neches, but I send my kids to SOC.

This is what I do know. There are certain people in this fan base that don’t have any knowledge of football and no school spirit but just show up to cause confusion. This may be the case here, however, there seem to be belligerent people like this In all of our local fan bases.

HEY!!!!!!

Im backkkk… just for a post or two. SOC, Randle, and IC, to me, are the top tier teams in the classification. I think we fall into tier 2. Does that mean we can’t win, no…. But it will take a perfect game and pull it out in the end type of situation. I will say this. And I’m a life long PNG fan. I have never seen more ignorance, racism, and utter negativity in my life from the PNG fans. From the crying about open enrollment, gloves, region, coaching, etc…. Suit up and play the game and see what happens. But speak with some football IQ folks. We are in the quarters. A undefeated season so far, great coaching staff, and good little team. Have a QB, RB, and 2 WR, coming back next year. Versus all the negativity, shoot out some positive thoughts.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. 😎

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.

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

You guys got to let go of some of that old stuff. lol

[Hidden Content] I use to work with maps while working for the Jefferson Co apraisal district back when it was off 39th St in Groves many moons ago. My understanding is it was the county lines, then the school district lines. Un-incorporated areas became cities and that's why you have city boundaries not matching the school district's lines. Also, neighborhood developers just build in an empty field not really paying attention to school district lines unless they will use it as a selling point. But to your initial question: that whole area between 365 and Jimmy Johnson is a cluster but I remember when all of that was rice fields

Mustang alum following from DFW. This is incredible. I did not think it was possible. After losing that opening game to Nederland it seemed like here we go again - another season just like the last three. I'm amazed not just by the fact we've made it this far, but HOW we've done it - coaching improvements, halftime adjustments, focusing on the strengths of our personnel (using that big O-line/awesome tailback/I-formation, etc.), and better overall defensive play. If we can eliminate turnovers and lessen the penalties, they can beat any team in 4AD2 (save Carthage, but who knows). They were good enough to beat Sealy by two TDs last week if not for the turnovers. I'm so impressed with the heart of this team and how they continue to be better than their opponents in the second half. Keep it going, WO-S!

Wow, just wow... as bad a first half as you could have in a 4th round game... and takes home a 15 point win. Good job everyone. Adjustments made. I tell ya what, those kids got some fight in them. And they will play their hearts out for their coach. Much respect.

It’s comical to me when places recruit a super team then feel pride despite the fact that they couldn’t win with the talent they had on hand. Especially when you think what would happen if schools like PNG were willing to ignore the rules with all of the resources at their disposal. I’d rather lose with our kids that grew up here than win with some kids who stopped here for part of a season.

In Aledo they usually date things with four legs.

You: *Calls PNG fans ignorant and racist* Also you: "Shoot out some positive thoughts." Geez, oh man. It must be awesome to feel so pure.

I still think open enrollment schools should be forced to play at the 6A level. It’s never been an even playing field but apparently the UIL doesn’t care

Coming from a guy whose team has been done for 4 weeks

Probably won't last another year. Need to fire all the moderators. The members have no talent Yours truly, Spidersal!!

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.

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.

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.

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

Final 35-20 WO-S Awesome coaching and players played hard. Congrats Mustangs.

This morning I was watching CNN, as I often do to see the other side.....usually I can only take a few minutes. They were speaking on the boat attack, that CNN went all out on the "kill them all" narrative, from one "anonymous" source, that should of never been seriously reported on, and as most reasonable people assumed, it was not true. So, now they were questioning if the second strike should have occurred, STILL calling it a possible war crime (when I know THEY KNOW, that is not true) - When there is a mission to eliminate a target, if the first shot does not get it, there is always a second shot, no matter who's around. My point of that rant, is if all you watch is CNN and related media, I can see where UT and BG get their opinions......

Let me Comment on the fact that I now have 60 years of going to PNG Football under my belt. I have seen the best, and the worst that the Indian Nation Fans have had to endure, and/or celebrate over these seasons. Regardless, we have always had a solid fan base. Whether we won 1 game, or multiple many win seasons the Indian Football team has had it's fans supporting them 100%. Well all of the Indian Football Fans support them 100%, not all of the PNG Indian Purple Pride Band Fans, I refer to those who leave after halftime, but I digress. There is no reason to doubt that either team in the PNG vs SOC game tomorrow has a chance to win. THAT IS WHY THE GAME IS PLAYED!!! After this game I will be overjoyed to go to the next round in the playoffs, or be just as overjoyed that my Indian Boys had an incredible season. Indian Fans make a commitment to their football boys!!! Everybody come on down from Dallas & pull for 'dem Bears, Everybody come on up from Mid-County & cheer on those Indian Boys. I know I will be there, and all future games I am able until the good Lord calls me home. I-N-D-I-A-N-S Scalp 'em Indians, Scalp 'em!!! PNG HAS A SPECIAL SPIRIT, PASS IT ON!!!

Kountze returned 1 player from last years team, and he averaged about 4 minutes a game of court time. There are 4-5 kids walking the halls that would have a tremendous impact, and likely would have gotten them the 3 seed/4 seed at worst. As far as the future goes, Kountze will be just fine. 6-7 years ago, Kountze had a 3-27 seasons (roughly), even the Sells led group missed the playoffs as Freshman and Sophomores. I don't think Kountze has another run as dominate as last year's' team in the foreseeable future, but they are going to field some pretty dang good teams sooner than later. The 7th-8th grade groups will have a pretty good mesh of players. It's obviously premature to project much further than that, but the 4th-6th graders have a very talented group of kids.

Without getting into specific details, I’ll just remind folks that SpecOps operate under different ROE’s than conventional military units. Yes. They still operate under international laws and rules of combat while in uniform, or under the flag of the U.S. But, rules are vastly more flexible. Typically, a USN vessel assisting in deterring criminal activity will replace their fleet flags with a Coast Guard flag, and thus—technically—be under CG control with the legal protections offered. It can be debated if designating a group a terrorist organization makes them a military or criminal target. I don’t have details on the attack in September. If true SpecOps, much of what you’re hearing from the chattering class is inaccurate/incomplete due to their lack of knowledge of the incident, and in the different ROE’s. Rest assured, when uniformed DOD personnel are involved, JAG is also involved at every level in the chain. They are the experts in military law. Not civilian lawyers, pundits, or politicians. If Congress wants to change something, they need to pass a resolution of some sort defining when/how POTUS can use force. History has shown—all the way back to Jefferson and the Barbary pirates—that POTUS has the authority to defend the U.S. and it’s interests with military force. ‘Defending the U.S.’ is the gray area in this case just as it was with many previous Presidents, including Obama and Libya, and Biden and the Houthis. Finally, I’d be especially concerned how leaks from military operations were still occurring.

Unfortunately SOC by at least 21. PNG doesn’t have the speed and secondary will get burned. Hopefully they can hold them to 35. PNG may get 14. 13-1 another great season for the Indians

Stangs have improved since week 3. Heck, Stangs have improved since the beginning of the playoffs. The passing game has really come on the last couple games. Dugas looks very comfortable throwing it and we're catching it. This could be a different game than the one in week 3. We still havent played a complete game. Happy with the win last night but we have to acknowledge the fact that we had 4 turnovers and they converted 3 of those into points. We also had some defensive breakdowns, too. We clean that up and there's no telling how good we can be.

No such thing as reporting in HS. Pass had to be a lateral (backwards) to be legal and wasn't. Illegal touching comes with a loss of down. Because it was 4th down, game over and WOS advances. Good to be playing in December.

Jeff is a laser focused coach. The secret weapon for PN-G is Coach Mc Daniel. These two are 100% amazing.

While the offense struggles, our defense is playing hard. Still within our grasp to win✊🏿

Here's the thing about his statement. When Kilgore goes all the way and wins state title, in a sense, his statement would be true. The better way to say it is "I'm predicting Kilgore to win the state championship". I agree with you bullets. Crawford, Pine Tree, teams still left in this region are better than BC. Then you have Celina, Stephenville, Alvarado, Calallen, La Vernia, West Palms and Springtown. BC would definitely be the underdogs in all those match ups.

Well… our kids are gonna pile onto a couple of buses and head over to New Caney. When they get there, they’re gonna put on the red and white, bite down on their mouthpieces, and get after Kilgore for 48 minutes. It’s a game that nobody expects BC to win…. Heck, most people are predicting a blowout. But I don’t think so. It’s a chance to see how we stack up against the best- if you ask me, this is the true state championship game. Whoever wins this one should have a cakewalk on through to Jerry World.
