I do not feel sorry for them, ive said it several times. They wanted change. Mainly for the wrong reasons and They got change.

Lol..... The parents are supporting their kids The community doesn't have to Especially when the community feel like things/ Changes were done a certain way/ Predetermined way... js

Lol…. Read my post, I didn’t say parents need to support there kids I said fans need to support their kids. This is about the kids an no one else. All of these kids are playing amateur high school sports. It’s nothing more than that. Its not the kids fault if people in leadership positions didn’t properly do their do diligence to put the MOST QUALIFIED people In coaching positions.

kinda like bridge city having an extra week to prepare for them in basketball... it just won't matter.

It's the only home game they have in October. Maybe that's why..

They do elections differently with a coalition, but he likely new. Prime Minister of Italy is the first woman ever, Giorgia Meloni. This was not her acceptance speech but listen to her words. Parts of it, why is the family an enemy…… everything that defines us is now the enemy…. they have attacked our gender, our religion , have attacked our families…. I can’t define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother. No! She ends with a partial quote from G. K. Chesterton who died in the 1930s.. She cut it short but it is: “We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which furious party cries will be raised against anybody who says that cows have horns, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening mob with the news that grass is green”. How prophetic…

Coach bashing is done by morons that think they know more than they do because they sit in front of a TV for most college/pro games.. in turn making them believe that their knowledge supersedes the individuals that actually spend a majority of their week preparing, practice planning, studying game film, talking amongst actual peers/professionals in the field of coaching, facilitating practices, managing student/athletes on and off the field, juggling students' mental/psychological issues, holding students accountable for good/bad play and classroom behavioral circumstances, along with a limitless list of other dealings that go into what affects decisions made during a game.. while trying to win said game. Coach bashing is also done by people that would've played D1 "but their coach didn't like them". It probably had nothing to do with them being a below average player at an average (at best) high school with average to below average competition. I'm sure that people who bash coaches spend some time coaching peewee and telling the kids/parents that they were All-State when they played and had chances to go pro but got hurt. I'm sure that people who bash coaches couldn't do 10 pushups today or run 100 yards in an afternoon. Change my mind.

A good friend of mine is a policeman investigator working in theft division (in another state, not Texas). He told me that one morning his first 3 phone calls of the day were a woman telling him that she could do his job better than him, a guy that told him he would have him fired by noon, and another guy that had been convicted of stealing that wanted the stolen property, saying he had served his sentence and paid his fine, so the stolen property should rightly be his. My policeman friend was telling this to a friend who happens to be a local HS coach, and the coach just nodded, smiled and said "well at least your job success doesn't depend on 16 year old kids".

Well…. I think all the Coaches are doing a Tremendous Job! 😁

This is so true. I always felt that CT and his staff did their best coaching job in 2018. Remember that was right after 4 straight trips to Dallas. The talent level seemed to have dropped that year and at one point the Mustangs were 2-3 just like this year. But even though they were struggling early you could tell there was improvement each week. They ended up winning district and going 4 rounds deep. I still think without the monsoon they played Silsbee in, they would have won that game and advanced to the semifinal. But that’s an argument that’s already been hashed over many times so no need to go over that again. Point is even with talent level not as high as normal the coaching staff that year did an outstanding job of getting the kids ready, coaching them up and putting them in situations where they could be the most successful.

Some criticism is fine, just not the constant bashing and making it personal. When every post a particular member makes is about bashing a coach, it's gone too far for that member. The posting of the video is a prime example of coach bashing. Folks have to understand the website side of this. We have to have good relationships with our local coaches. Those relationships are important to the success of this website.

I agree completely about student athletes NOT being called out. They’re kids. I’ll abide by the rule about coaches, but it’s dumb. If a man wants to take on the role of coaching with all of its financial rewards, prestige, power, etc… and expects to bask in the glory and praise after wins, he/she should have to face the criticism when it comes. There’s a big difference between criticizing a kid who threw a pick versus criticizing a highly paid professional who made a questionable play call, or is even having problems after deciding to install a new philosophy despite the old one being pretty doggone effective. Should people stick “for sale” signs in his yard? Absolutely not. But should that man be spared from any form of criticism, too? I don’t think so.

Let me just chime in and give some insight from someone from SS. Last year's record and this year's record are somewhat deceiving. Last year our first seven opponents, through the first seven weeks, had a combined record of 44-5. Two teams from last year are now in 6A, two more are in 5A D1, and two that are still in 5A D2 were top 10 teams. We were so beat down that by the time we got to some winnable games the kids were done and the coaches had one foot out the door. It was just a bad situation. This year we dropped to 4A. A softer schedule has as much to do with the turn around as the new coaching staff. It's a whole lot easier to win when you're one of the big schools in the class instead of the other way around. We were going to be better this year regardless of who the coach was. That being said, Faircloth is awesome. He is exactly what we needed. He's brought a new attitude, new energy, built confidence after being beaten down the last few years. The old coach was a great guy, won a state championship here, but he'd been here 13 years and it had ran it's course. It was time for a change and everyone knew it. Oh yea, one more thing, we play defense now, 15 ppg. So all the talk about Faircloth being strictly about the offense doesn't seem to apply here, at least not yet. We've never played defense here. Even the state championship game we won the score was 69-49, so we're not used to this. Faircloth is a smart guy, and I think he chose to come here for a reason. What most people on the outside may not know is the talent at our lower levels is absolutely loaded. JV is pretty good, but it's the Freshman that has everyone here buzzing. They've never lost a game and have outscored their opponents this year 174-14, and that's with two of the best freshmen starting on varsity. I had a retired coach who coached at the 5a/4a level tell me he has never seen a class this talented at any school he coached at or coached against. They are special. It really seems like the perfect combination of talent and coaching coming together at the right time to do something special. So, if you want to peek into the future, I can see Faircloth winning a state championship here in two or three years, or at least coming close. Then after that I would think he would have his pick of high profile jobs if he were looking to move up. I don't see him leaving any sooner than that with this much talent on the way. As for this year I'll stick with my prediction I made before the season. 9-3, 2nd place in district, two rounds deep in the playoffs.

I’m a great admirer of good memes. I can’t post them (as pictures) so I’ll have to do mine descriptively. For those that can, this’ll be a great place to put’em. Here’s the latest I’ve ran across. WHY DON’T THE 99% OF US WHO AREN’T OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING QUIT CATERING TO THE 1% WHO ARE? Great question.

You are correct that it is an opinion piece. But the man has dedicated 30+ years to that paper that covers Orange County so I think it's a very credible opinion. He's seen it all.

🙏🏻 for the family. And the community.

🙏🏾

Prayers from Diboll.

Your right , @BADSANTA the sky it's falling.We (WOS) Just need to accept that we are The tigerMustangs

WOS had Silsbee by 11 at one point and lost a close game to Newton. The sky isn't falling. 2-3 can turn into 10-3 quick. I've seen it in Silsbee a few years in a row.

Good opinion article!

Titans not overlooking down Crosby team [Hidden Content]

To respond to the threat, on cue the opposition in Italy is claiming that she is the fascist and is trying to be a new Mussolini. Sound familiar?

I asked Pickle about this one, Apparently there was a power outage in the pressbox and power wasn't cut on until start of the 2nd Qtr...

Voting Mealer in in this election is huge. Hidalgo has to go. As expected after her election, she is horrible in this job. Jeez, just listening to that whiny damn voice of hers is like nails on a chalkboard.

Appreciate that bud..... we just trying to keep a level head and not get too far ahead of ourselves. I hope we are as good as everyone thinks we are. If so, Hemphill will beat NW and keep it close for a while against big brother Newton.... We are all pulling for our old district friends CC...

Lol I knew someone from Silsbee would comment on that statement. I just think the weather bothered us more than yall that night. Just my opinion and everyone has them. It’s all good though, y’all won and that’s that. But as far as being better than our record indicates, well I don’t know about that. We beat a very bad Nederland team and barely got by LCM. We could easily be 1-4 right now. Good luck to Silsbee the rest of the way, I’ll be supporting y’all come playoff time. Unless we meet up again! Lol

So many things to say about this post... However, as stated, been said before. Must not have been raining on the other team. Anyway, WOS wins this. They are better than their record represents. Have faith Stang fans.

That's entirely possible. Not predicting it, just saying its entirely possible.

PAM by 14+

Congratulations to Hemphill for being undefeated so far! Y’all been taking care of business

Happy for BF and I wish SS all the best, but at BH we like our guy and want to keep him. I hope he stays a long time.

Exactly right. Cornel had the talent to find weaknesses in the other side, and he capitalized on them, big time. You can take a team 4 deep in the playoffs, with minimum talent, if you have a great coach.

As Bullets said, do it somewhere else if you can't control yourself.

It was actually from PJ media......problem is, the mainstream media will not cover this especially before mid-terms......Remember when Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation...only to find out after mid-terms it was not? Remember the disgraced 52 CIA agents that signed a letter that had all the signs of Russian disinformation.......they were wrong too So, I would not be too picky on where you prefer your news from

Don’t get mad at me… they said it.

They were, but before that they were pretty average with occasionally a good team. It appears they are building a program that can be perpetually good.

It'll be a good game if certain Crockett folks can keep their emotions in check. 🤷🏾‍♂️

mostly procedural type stuff.

Should not criticize the kids. Coaches need to wear big girl panties and expect to be criticized.

That ole Girlfriend still looking good! 😂

Poor wording on my part but I did go to the practice today,might make more sense now as to what I was talking about!

I'm glad u understand KT. I know him too.and he truly loves these kids and want the best for them and the program.i truly believe he's not just trying throw sluggs at the coaches.but, he hates the fact that u bring in a new coaching staff.and want them to learn everything they want in a couple months.its impossible!!and ik a few kids reaches out to him bcz,they're confused.well, that comes from the heart with him.u have to remember these kids are just 15 16 17 yrs old.its no way they can learn this that quick.and they have been running something since they were in diapers.smh. everyone loses here.the community,players,and coaches.and then the supertendent went the wrong way on hiring him.makes me think he was setting him up.and I truly believe it will get worse bf it gets better!!

Welcome SS fan

All that and still could not beat NED.

I’m talking playoffs. I looked at last year. Every team NS played was between 1-2,000 less enrollment besides Duncanville which is within about 100 kids. NS beat them by a TD. The year before I think was the last second Hail Mary. I’m just saying that usually not all of the time when have that many is an advantage. Open enrollment is an advantage also because parents are willing to get their stud player to school and practice to a program like NS. Btw, I’m not taking away what they’re doing at NS, just pointing out some advantages.

It could be superintendent purpose to destroy the tradition in football. Blame on the superintendent and the board to make a decision for what happened to kids. I agreed most of what true hard die Mustangs say about defense changing. When I watched and it really sick in my stomach. They will not success to play deep in the playoffs if they keep that way. I really feel bad for kids because of wrong direction from coaches.

Special is an understatement
