Update on the victim "He's recovering. He's gonna have to push but he should make a 100% recovery."

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

It’s claimed logic that I don’t understand. Let’s see, he is in a patrol vehicle with lights, he is wearing police gear, he has a badge and patches that say police but I can’t see his face so it might not be the police. Oh wait, I can clearly see his eyes and nose now, yep, that’s a cop because I can see his eyes and nose!! Because you can tell by a person’s profession by his face? That would be like me walking through the mall and pointing at someone and saying, that’s a firefighter, that’s a nurse, that’s a secretary……

If you are Southlake why wouldn't you call Jeff Joseph??

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.

Regular Season 1. @One4All 2. @pdawg119 3. @Guitar Man Playoffs 1. @AggiesAreWe 2. @navydawg31 3. @ace2335 Overall 1. @AggiesAreWe 2. @navydawg31 3. @One4All Another season in the books. 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.

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.

Pretty amazing to me that there is clear video of the officer being hit by the car, clear precedent and case law showing why the officer was justified in the shooting, commentary from almost every legal expert in the country saying he was justified, etc... And yet somehow half the country (including politicians and law enforcement higher ups) is still screaming that this is murder.

Okay, some new information to look at. I watched a video from Nate the Lawyer on YouTube. It covered the view from the a cell phone that the agent was holding (not a body cam). We probably all have seen it. But, looking at it again, it changes part of the narrative. The officer is did not step in front the vehicle as some on social media have claimed. He was being taunted by the wife as she was trying to get in the vehicle. The driver turned her wheels to the left and backed up. That swung her vehicle to the right and pointed her car at the officer. She then put it in gear and drove at him. Intentional? Accidental? I don’t think it matters. There have been so many claims, however, that the officer stepped in front of the vehicle in order to justify shooting. Looking at it again, it does not appear to be true. He was standing near the headlight to the passenger side of the vehicle. The driver backed up the vehicle, pointing it at the agent and then turned into him and drove forward. So many of the accusations from the start seem to be jumping the gun or wishful thinking to make ICE look bad. I know that for the people who have made up their minds, it will not matter. The decision on fault was likely made immediately and it won’t change. We sometimes get the qualifying comments of, I support the police but the agent should not have stepped in front of her. Well…. it turns out that he didn’t.

I am not that emotional about it. (evidently you are) No hate here. Just call it like I see it. Several teams have put a beat down on my Tigers this year. Not surprised of that fact considering how down they are this year. I don't make assessments based on my home town team losing a game. I think I am a little more credible than that.

I guess the big badge, handcuffs, gun and vest with huge ICE or HSE across it is not enough for someone to know who they are LOL. That's a clown take. If your ilk weren't out there doxxing and threatening them, they wouldn't have to wear a mask.

I may have to set up across the street and pay cash.

Wish I had seen this a week or so ago. Could’ve told y’all then. Joseph isn’t going anywhere and SLC’s had someone else in mind from the start, anyway. All’s well at the Reservation.

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

They could just as well hire me as the head of thoracic surgery at Harvard Medical School. A police officer would be well suited to be in charge of a prestigious position at a medical school. After all, I have been to about half a dozen classes on first aid. The Dems, right on schedule, are into box checking. And no, we absolutely shouldn’t be surprised.

Read on another site... shooting a video with obvious loaded gun (stupid and immature to say the least) gun went off, shot through a wall and hit young man in the neck. No slap on the wrist should be given, some of these comments thinking it was intentional or "death row" played a factor are ignorant as can be!! If this was anywhere else a different tune would be played.. there's my 2 cents

You fact check was written Nov 10th….before the topic posted…

“The affidavit does not clarify why Mayfield was holding a gun or who it belonged to.” (From the article linked above). You need to revisit your definition of “settled” and “indisputable.”

We're old but also cant help but remember some of those no longer with us like Todd Broussard Dennis Sedtal among others

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.

Interestingly enough, I noticed the SOC defense is called "Death Row Defense", and they love it. I wish WOS would get outta their feelings and get back to the Chain Gang. Blue Link sounds like a Marvel character.

I just don’t understand why anti-Trumpers on the fraud investigations just don’t say, “Good, if there is fraud going on it should be found and fixed, and those responsible go to jail.” I can only go on what I have witnessed, and I remember folks selling foodstamps for 50 cents on the dollar…..they have cards now, and I can think of several ways to turn that balance on the card to cash…. So, I personally think there is fraud in every government handout, and even if it is a small percent, investigating and fixing the problem will reroute that money to someone who actually needs it.

Congrats to everyone! And special thank you to you @WOSdrummer99 for doing this and keeping this going. I know it’s a lot but you do an amazing job at it! Thank you again!

Tulane and JMU in the CFP is a joke. ND, Texas, Vandy, BYU deserved it way more than those 2… didn’t even bother watching either. Watched the NFL games instead

Losers complain about "running up the score." You want em to kneel on it at the start of the third quarter to say "your team isn't worth fearing"? I don't see WOS quitting.

From the state games ive watched most of the run heavy teams lost. I think you really have to have a balance attack

What im saying is. #4 and supporting cast would make any coach in the state look good regardless of what they call.

Saw that myself. Very interesting post. I have a whole bunch of thoughts on that that I'll keep to myself. At the end of the day, she and her husband have options if it's that bad.

Don't think he's a Huffman fan. But I would like to send him a copy of chapter 40 so they know what's up. Not like CT saw the huge drop in talent and thought... nope I cant win with any of them. Time to hang it up. But back to topic... Carthage has had all the pieces of the puzzle. We started with the middle moving outward and then it got easier. I think they know what were up against and will come out on fire. With a huge stick to poke the bear. Really hope its not like the Gilmer game. Either one. Vs us in 14 or vs Carthage in 23? I'll always praise these guys just as I do the teams from 88, 00, 14, and 17. Its a huge accomplishment for us to return to any form of out former glory.

Save your energy

Schools like SLC, Westlake, Vandergrift, etc. get around the overall enrollment with 1) money and 2) they have Hispanic populations down in the teens. For instance Highland Park’s Hispanic population is only 6.1% so their football playing demographics are very close to 6A competitive levels for Texas. The higher the Hispanic population the more kids you need to be competitive in 6A unless you can mitigate it with money. North Crowley has 3,049 kids but more importantly they have 1,706 black kids to go with solid coaching. That is an unreal amount for a metro school in Texas and similar to Summer Creek’s 1,722 but under Duncaville’s 1,888. With North Shore’s demographics they would suck at football if they didn’t have 4,000+ kids. If you dropped NS’ enrollment to Crosby’s and kept their same demographic makeup they would lose about 620 of their 1,038 black kids and not be near as competitive considering the talent pool where they get 95%+ of their starters would’ve cut in more than half. Desoto has a 5A enrollment but their school is 74% black so their talent pool is actually 1.5X that of North Shore. Very few schools the last 10-15 years have broken these rules. Cedar Hill is a prime example of what I’m talking about though. Stagnant to declining enrollment since their title game appearance in 2020 and are sub-.500 in the five years since. Not that having money or demographics mean everything but they’re hard facts to stray from when 6/8 teams playing for the 5A and 6A titles look exactly the same while the 5A-D1 state finals teams are extremely similar financially. Long story short, with Crosby’s demographics we’re going to need 2,800+ before we can consistently be competitive in 6A outside of the Houston and Pasadena districts.

Good luck WOS PN-G is rooting for you

Might as well give it up, he and the other few been waiting on this for 4 years so they could say told you so.
