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

HEY!!!!!!

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.

Wild to me that the Stangs just pulled a 15-point upset to make it to the semis and people are still griping about coaching. They’re playing out of their minds right now, and at least some of that is due to coaching.

Still have to have coaching...do you know how many teams that had a ton of talent over the years lost because of coaching quite a few

You’re missing my point. If a Golden Triangle school could pull athletes from the entire Jefferson/Orange/Hardin County area while still maintaining a 5A D2 sized enrollment, they’d be competitive, if not beat SOC. The athletes would be comparable, but facilities, community support, coaching, etc would outdo what SOC can offer. But geographically it’s not possible here in SETX, but it is possible in Dallas because the attendance zone is smaller in geographic size. The situation isn’t wrong, but it’s not really fair, either. But using a magnet or charter system to form a super team, then being proud of the fact you beat teams who aren’t able to consolidate athletes from a 6 school attendance zone isn’t anything to be proud of. Example…. Our local youth football league (STJFL) takes on all players, then fields teams accordingly. Some cities like ours (population 8,000) would field two teams for each age range because that many kids signed up. Then you have one of our neighbors (population 50,000) put together a single team. They hold tryouts, cut kids, etc…. It’s a select team. If your select team drawn from a pool of 1300 kids is beating the 30 kids assigned to a team from a pool of 90 kids… it’s nothing to be proud of. But I think it’s a flaw that isn’t seen as a flaw in some communities. But y’all have recruited another fine team this year. Congratulations on your “win.”

Good to hear from you griff. Been awhile.

You wouldn't be suprised if i told u how many still on that hill. My position has shifted. I'll take my crow cooked only on backroad blacktop and covered in tar. Honestly like @Gasilla said just imagine a complete game. We still have many of the same constant problems. But today's success from resurrecting some of the past proves they have the program by the reins. Hooks 6 yrs Thompson 5 yrs Hickman ? Let's go Mustangs!!!

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

The announcers are full of it. Just awful.

Joseph will make adjustments. 2nd half will be a different story.

This is atrocious. Back to the same crap. We are extremely lucky to be down by 1. LV will boat race us in the 2nd half if a different team don't come out of the locker room. OK coach, you're up. Adjustments or go home. Time to prove you belong. Game is still within reach. Time to show your metal.

If you don't see updated scores or schedule updates from me today, I apologize. Battling the flu. Will be in bed most of the morning and afternoon. I will try to get caught up with results from most of the tourneys later this evening. Hopefully folks will post todays scores in the tournament threads. Thanks for your understanding.

The math definitely ain’t mathin

Was going to go and support PA but not anymore

What’s unreasonable is png fans crying after defeat. Layups starting Monday morning….oh and come out to a real game today

So nobody gonna talk about the offensive lineman that kicked the SOC player while he was on the ground? I don’t wanna hear NOTHING about class and PNG in the same sentence unless it’s about graduation. DISGUSTING!!!

Congrats to WOS coaching staff. One of the best staffs in the Region at planning, adjusting, and properly utilizing their players.

What does that change? Who said anything had to be limited to transfers that occurred this season? The effect is the same.

It is wild , but not surprising, some people are incapable of being objective, even when they grudgingly give the current staff some credit, they still insist on somehow linking it to the past🤔 all the winning from the past was not due to alignments and plays called, it was players going out and executing the plays and outplaying their opponents, coupled with the coaching. 99% of the schools in this area would not have gotten the same results by merely running the same plays or being in the same alignments that WOS used in the past . The past was tremendous, but it’s the past, nobody is trying to or can erase it, but it’s a new era, under different leadership, and whatever success or failures they have is due to them, and only them !!!

That loss on our resume keeps looking better and better! Congrats

Great season! Maybe we will get out of this region next year. Still have play those good teams, but it would be nice to play some one other than SOC.

The Pirates fell apart. WOS definitely took it to them. The broadcasters were annoying as all get out. Where in the heck did they come from?

But i thought SOC couldn't throw😄

They need to really let it go. Beaten it to death.

BU 40 Dallas White 23 Half

Alief Taylor 62 Deer Park 50 Port Arthur Memorial 51 South Houston 45 West Fork 68 Lamar Consolidated 53

South Oak Cliff shares a 20 mile radius with Duncanville, Desoto, Waxahachie, Carter, Kimball, Roosevelt, Sunset, Adamson, Wilmer Hutchins, Lancaster and Red Oak: 6 playoff teams and 3 national contenders. So that whole "super team" thing sounds like tears. Sure, a program's success can serve as a recruitment tool, but anyone in the know will tell you SOC lends out more talent than they get. Duncanville's last 5 star lived in SOC's community. As well as a ton of Desoto's starters. SOC sent more players to the NFL than any other high school long before they sniffed a State Title appearance. The community has ALWAYS been overflowing with talent. SOC's problem has always been inadequate coaching and facilities. Now that they've caught up in those areas, folk are whining about the talent that has always been there. PNG does well to compete wuth the like of SOC, just like any community. Be humble and enjoy the experience

West Orange-Stark vs Sinton Friday Dec 12, 7pm Katy Rhodes Stadium

A single act from one person condemns the entire community? Cool. I’m sure you’d accept that standard being applied to Port Arthur.

A long time ago I said they were possibly trying to protect the victims AND YOU PEOPLE LAUGHED. Now you use it as an excuse. Why did your judges block the release?

Keep that fire and be mad about losing,it will carry over to next season and make you better…good season though Indians

Final Tarkington 69 Douglass 53

Was 4 point game with 1.5 minutes left. Great atmosphere.

Rematch 2014 Semis. Was that in Richmond?

TD SOC. Long catch and run.

Ash and Bennett together are like watching a well-oiled machine!

PICK SIX MUSTANGS!!

2 big pass plays for SOC. 2 bad ints for PNG that cost them points. This game isn’t as far apart as most expected.

PNG defense taking it to the golden cubbies!

At this point of the playoffs the best of the best officials are working...doesnt mean they are perfect but these are the best we got left

BU 60 Dallas White 38 End 3rd

SOC has their purple on for warmups 😀

Cy Springs 67 Westbury 44 Final

From the article: "The Supreme Court just stayed a lower court order blocking the new redistricting map in Texas from going forward, allowing Republicans in the state to begin using the new map. Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson all dissented. Of course." Honest question: How can we expect at least one of these dissenters to know the Constitution when she doesn’t even know what a women is?!

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.
