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.

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.

Prayers to your family!

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.

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.

Kilgore defense flexing it's muscles early.

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

A lot of people forget or just don’t know that better athletes don’t always win the game over a better “team”.

Wall is coached up really good.

Very true, in most communities. I understand why you don’t understand.

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

Good luck WOS PN-G is rooting for you

Some pretty massive rationalizations going on in this thread. One behavior doesn't excuse another. Sorry.

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.

Numbers 4-7 are spot on. There’s no question many things were changed those first two years and the facts show it didn’t turn out for the better. Beginning last year they got back to more of what made Mustang football so successful and the results are speaking for themselves. He and his staff have earned more respect. I just feel very badly for the kids that played those first two seasons. All their young life they dreamed of wearing that silver hat and following in the footsteps of those that played before them and they were caught up in an experiment that went wrong. Many don’t actually place alot of the responsibility on Hickman and his staff for that, it mainly fell on the previous superintendent Ricky Harris. He wanted so badly to show the world that WO-S could be successful doing things differently and with a different style and we all seen how that turned out. Good luck to Hickman and his staff and the Mustangs on Friday. Orange is proud of yall.

Welp surly, I don't care what your team has done throughout the season or playoffs. This is my opinion. Why does Carthage play in high school D2 anyway when clearly, they should be playing UT or D1, and not WOS according to some people. Nobody is blaming the coaches if we are unsuccessful. I along with others don't care who says it over and over in order to get a reaction to start crap. We are blessed to have talented young men who have and will continue to win and represent Orange. Then, there are other schools who will never ever win district and their only reason for coming on this site is to create a stink and antagonize others.

Prayers and strength for your family.

No need. Take care of your family you have my deepest condolences. Will keep you and your family lifted up in prayers. 🙏

Bryan didn’t miss a midrange jumper that whole game! It was tight the entire game too! Great matchup with that 6A team! They were also a good free throw shooting team and super athletic. BC has improved at the line throughout the season. Only going to get better! They seem to be fixing the little mistakes made earlier on. Small defensive mistakes keep catching them. Overall, very proud of those boys. They held their own against those big schools. Great shooting, finishing and teamwork by Denison and Bush. Silveira had an incredible game against Montgomery. Mungy was just Mungy…can’t say enough there. Bush had seven 3s in the championship and finished the weekend averaging 20.2ppg. Congrats to Bush and Mungy on All-Tournament Team.

The Stangs got their hands full for sure. I knew that when Carthage beat Texas Tech in a preseason scrimmage. Don't sell the ponies short, they'll bring it for sure. Bring it home Mustangs.

Doesn't sound like anything has changed!

Well here’s the Epstein File Release.

See carthage not that bad they let wos have a td so least they didn't have to make that long drive home with nothing

Pass was open

Are you serious ? Most of them were false starts that were obvious on the replays. I never saw the Newton coach complain to the refs about any call.

This was fun to watch

Smh. Took me a bit longer but now I realize im wasting my time here in this particular conversation 🤣

Oh ok. How many seasons did WOS have the recent W/L record and playoff shortcomings of recent history no matter the “talent” (always love some good quotations which lead to parentheses)? The points allowed have been record breaking in the wrong direction. I’m sure you have all the insight as to why the job came open. There are others that would differ with your opinion but regardless….this job was coming open sooner than later. The coaching staff does seem talented. However, just like an athlete, all the talent in the world can be there but it has to be focused in the right direction.

King is 65% Hispanic. Crosby is about 50%. They’re filling up Barrett Station, not the $300k starter homes in Newport. The reason you don’t think King looks like that is because they have 3,600 kids and you don’t see any of them on the field. The closer our overall enrollment climbs to 3,000 the closer we get to the football playing demographic number of about 1,500 that we need to be competitive in 6A-D2. The completion of Sweetgrass Village and Barrett Crossing alone will push Crosby’s enrollment to about 2,800 once you include the new Newport homes. Going to suck for a while but Crosby is in an excellent position to be pretty competitive in 4-5 years.

All you have to do is click on the link for each author and scan their previous articles on Trump, lol.

Y'all really sound like some losers talking about "why doesn't Carthage opt to play up?" Like, why would they do that? They are squarely in the middle of D2 numbers. Because they are successful? The schools mentioned that opted to play up probably did so for travel purposes, not because they thought it would be fair to the rest of D2.

Are you really this sensitive or is this just a gimmick?

What a wonderful tribute to a great leader of young men of which I was once one. Great coach and even better person who left an undeniable legacy on the field, at the school and in the hearts of those under his leadership. If that bothers anyone here then I think they might need a character check.

HJ has been up and down as expected, but they're starting to click winning 5 of their last 6. I would be surprised if this one is "ugly."

The difference is one was a political assassination, while the other was an internal family matter. Neither should be condoned. Just like disrespecting either death shouldn't be condoned.

Carthage is 4AD2 because of their enrollment but make no mistake that they would win 4AD1 going away. As far as the WOS fans go, there is endless transcript of who they blame. Everyone can read it easily enough. Check out WOS/HF thread for a good example.

I agree with this assessment. Particularly the part in bold. IMO, this is one of worst skill level teams Silsbee has put on the floor in quite some time. They are not a good shooting team, very very poor passing team. Combine those two things and you get poor offensive output. It's mostly the reason why you see 40-50 point scoring for the Tigers. Got nothing to do with the "run and gun". Just don't have the horses to run that kind of offense. What the Tigers do have is effort. That has really improved over these 10 games. They work hard defensively and rebound the ball very well. They get out of position sometimes defensively but that's not because of lack of effort. It's lack of experience. Silsbee has played some very tough competition in these 10 games. Lot's of close games that with a few better plays here and there could have resulted in a couple more wins. I too agree that Tiger Nation needs to show some patience with Coach Brown and the program. It's very obvious that the talent level is much lower than it has been over the last several years. Give him a chance to weather the storm. I think Silsbee will be right in the mix for the district title this year just like they always have been.

And there you have it folks. No mention at all of how the dems paid to have illegals imported, simply find an article where “ONE” veteran was accidentally deported, and you believe you have quashed the entire point. Not so. Don’t address the topic, deflect at all costs. It’s why dems never get anything done except for stonewalling. Anything and everything they do is acceptable as long as they can find ONE thing wrong from the other side. They will even back murderers. It’s truly a pathetic way of going through life, but there it is.

CE King will make 5 SETXsports coverage area teams in Arlington.
