It’s very discerning to see everyone downing the “education” at WOS. There have been and are still excellent teachers on the staff and kids wanting to go further in life get a great education. The problem is that WOS has a larger majority of kids who may be challenged in one way or another and the lack of discipline in the classroom than other schools in the area. The curriculum is there. The ability and desire to learn may be a challenge to some, but it is maddening for some to act like the kids at WOS aren’t being taught. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. (Especially in today’s society where everyone is offended by something).

You aren't taking into account the fact that the other teams return kids and possibly even improve. Every year. You can look at the comparable results with both Silsbee and HF and tell that they are pretty stinkin good. I personally watched Jasper play and know that they're also loaded with talented, athletic kids. Those are not bad losses for WOS.. I don't care how many returners they have. Calm down. The level of drama coming out of WOS over a few losses to some good teams makes me think that there isn't enough mental fortitude in the community to win any tough playoff games anyway. Cry me a river. The school has more state titles than most SeTx schools will ever have and are still competitive in what is an obvious down year. Give the guy some time before putting a for sale sign in the yard.

What kind of sandwiches will be at this meeting? 😁

Down years aren't supposed to happen when 16 starters return from a team that went 4 rounds deep in the playoffs though, and especially not with a program that has had this much historical success.

Probably the same as every school board meeting for the last several weeks. Nothing

Perhaps the public nature of this hiring process is an indication of the districts typical process for hiring actual educators. Those that complained about the academics realized it was futile long ago. Teachers left in mass exits. Last I heard they had a $10,000 signing bonus for new teachers. Why would that be?

Get ready to throw them V's back up

"I'm sorry, I'll be at the Nugget that night."

Unfortunately.. nobody cares about academic shortfalls in comparison. That's why coaches get away with yelling/cussing at kids but teachers don't. That's why coaches get away with all sorts of physical punishment for behavior and/or missing a practice but teachers don't if a kid refuses to do an assignment or skips class. That's why threads get created about complaining to school boards for gripes about a football coach.. but not about a principal or teachers.

Maybe Yaboy KtTraylor want mind wasting some gas money to come down from Dallas to enlighten the school board on they turned WOS into the Buna Boudain Balls….. of course with his help. 😀

You will have to take that up with my daughter. She wants me to cook for her baby shower. I'm trying to get her to settle on a Subway platter.

No football for you Friday. Better stay your but at the beach.

While whatever student or whoever did this shold be prosecuted in the fullest, Lumberton and more importantly all of the athletes who WOULDN'T do something like this don't deserve to be punished for someone elses actions. You start doing that then maybe you should start prosecuting a common criminals family for what he/she does. Does that make sense?

Calm down karen hes just stiring the pot😂

And if it’s not even anyone from Lumberton? A lot of people think it’s not anyone from Lumberton

Agreed. If the team that played Vidor shows up we're in trouble but if the team that played the last two games shows up it will definitely be a fight.

Red and blue looks like Lumberton but quite possibly could be local punks making it look like Lumberton. A lot of monetary damage. If caught, they or their parents need to pay.

Not to mention I believe, iirc, he was there under subpoena (I.e., he didn’t have a choice to NOT attend). And then it’s a matter of answering questions you are asked. I am quite certain he would have probably preferred to be ANYWHERE else on that day.

Don’t know nothing about the kid that was kicked off, other than I’ve heard from several in the community that he was a turd. Two sides to every story. As far as the Carl Broussard story. CT was a character witness. He can only testify as to what he knew the man to be. I’m fairly confident that CT didn’t condone he’s actions and what he was found guilty of. I know Broussard personally, myself. He coached at my high school in 1995, and I ran into him over the years. What he did was beyond reproach, but that’s not the person I knew. To say CT didn’t have morals, and wasn’t a man of a character as some in West Orange want ppl to believe is bull crap. They are reaping what they have sown.

I guess I kinda veered off,the most important issue to address at the school board meeting is academic issues of course,the most important issue to address here is the football team SETXSPORTS…

When then? You said yourself it’s been going on for years? Isn’t that more important than the football program? Why is everyone so mad about a losing season but don’t care about the most important issue which is the education for these kids? Do you really hear yourself? First time for a lacking football season in forever, but haven’t had academic excellence in forever. Which is more important to address at the school board meeting?

If they were 14.2 would be here so I am going to go with no.

Yeah, don't remind me 😂 Now that I think about it the night I believe you're talking about the fog rolled in at the same time the smoke did, you literally couldn't see anything across the field 😂

And that kind of attitude plays right into something I brought up last with West Brook. Kids don't want to play for that kind of coach. And so they go elsewhere to play.

Speaking on Memorial----In bold: that will probably be answered on Friday night and next Thursday. The only other teams that we've played that has a "dynamic offensive scheme" in my opinion is PNG and that was Week-1 and they were going thru the motions in my opinion cause of a new staff bringing them along but they're rolling now and Crosby but they were without the guy that makes that thing go.

I don't think hope or hype could be used to describe the 2022 Nederland Bulldogs

That's the first thing my son said to me after the game. HF would love another shot several rounds deep in the playoffs. Until then, best of luck to the Tigers!

Think I will make that drive! It should be a great showdown!

Business as usual. This is not on the agenda. People will have an opportunity to voice their concerns. And they will fall on deaf ears.

One bad season (4-4) and not even a full season done yet and yall are ready to get rid of the man. Teams have down years. WOS has been good for so long that no one knows how to act when goin 4-4. WOS will be fine.

Just have to stay away from its rear end. What are you guys thinking will happen?

You'd be flying around the elephant in the room

Kingwood Park 7-2 6-1 Barbers Hill 6-2 5-1 Port Arthur Memorial 7-1 5-1 La Porte 5-4 4-3 Crosby 4-4 3-3 New Caney Porter 4-4 3-3 Baytown Lee 4-4 2-4 Baytown Goose Creek Memorial 1-7 0-6 Baytown Sterling 1-7 0-6 La Porte's bye week is the last week of the season.

As of 10/24: Overall District Kingwood Park 7-2 6-1 Barbers Hill 6-2 5-1 Port Arthur Memorial 7-1 5-1 La Porte 5-4 4-3 Crosby 4-4 3-3 New Caney Porter 4-4 3-3 Baytown Lee 4-4 2-4 Baytown Goose Creek Memorial 1-7 0-6 Baytown Sterling 1-7 0-6

Yep, there have been plenty of times it should have been lopsided one way or the other and ended up being a 1 score game. Nature of the rivalry.

7-0 beach mojo!!

after watching yall play PAM...no lol.

Maybe it’s too soon but that was hilarious 😂

It's Senior Night for Silsbee so I look for all the seniors to get plenty of action in this game.

This sort of turn around could happen in Nederland too if they ever got serious about hiring a good coach. Great coaches change mediocre programs.

Lumberton by 14, they will control both line of scrimmages

They'll get lucky against the backups in the 2nd quarter. I'll take 69-2

I got us Coldspring 45-21!! Go Trojans

0 proof it was even from lumberton. Sadly enough could be from any of the places. Even our own

I for one was supporting the program and the new hire saying give him a chance. I never imagined such a spiraling meltdown. Here’s some key points. The new hire was with the program under CT. He must not have been a very good learner. His plan was to change everything that works. At this rate LCM will not be recruiting players. They will be voluntarily lining up. The district has now invested millions into first rate facilities in support of a program that after not even a full season, is no longer first rate. The program has dug a hole that will be difficult to dig out of. I will not criticize Harris for what looks like a poor hire. It happens. How he handles it from this season forward will tell the tale.

I have said from word go Hickman was placed in a no win situation. If WOS went udefeated this season, it would have been “ anyone could win with what has been built here”. We see whats happening with a poor record. Then you throw in the race factor and how some were pushing for a first Coach….he hasnt had a chance from the start.

On a plus note, WOS will forever more be used an exhibit in every debate from now on about which is more important… athletes or coaches. You might not be able to win the Kentucky derby with a mule, but about a dozen million dollar race horses lose the derby every year.

I think our district kinda weak
