I had a local coach (whose team has played both of these teams) tell me a couple of weeks ago that this one may be a showdown of the best two teams in SETX. After getting absolutely punched in the mouth, the team comes out after halftime and proceeds to dismantle the Longhorns. If you know a thing about this sport, you know what it is when a team completely flips the script and dominates in the 2H. Almost always coaching. I’ve said this many times, WOS won’t likely have a coach anywhere near Dan Ray or Cornel the rest of our lives and probably ever. It’s insane how lucky they were to have them back to back. And in my book, CT is probably the 1-1 of Southeast Texas football coaches based on what he did as the DC under Hooks and as the HC when he retired. He was hugely responsible for all of their rings. You just aren’t going to get that again. Kalen DeBoers could be the best coach in the game right now and he still wouldn't be Nick Saban. Hickman is a first time HC that you would expect to make mistakes. Maybe a lot of them. But you also hope that he would steadily improve and take advantage of one of the unique football situations in the State. He obviously has. Consistently. It’s fine to appreciate the past and take pride in all that was accomplished. It’s also high time to move and appreciate what you have now, which is still among the elite programs in the state.

Its pretty clear to me Coach Hickman could walk on water and a portion of the WOS fan base would find fault in it... He is not Hooks or CT, nor should he be...he has to be himself and I do feel like he has grown tremendously as a HC the past couple of yrs...great comeback win for WOS

The Citadel is a FCS school like Lamar, SFA. McNeese, etc. Many FBS schools play FCS schools. LSU played McNeese this year. A&M will beat them very badly. I'm only going because it's Military Weekend and my daughter, who served in the Army/Reserves for 8 years, wanted to attend with her three boys. Just going for the atmosphere and time with the family. This game is secondary to me but my grandsons are excited about it. Good enough for me.

Everything is back in order,thanks you can delete HS stuff now-

I mean.. I'm not just a huge fan of the foot to foot, ground and pound, eat clock offense either. It's not entertaining. But. As far as small school standards go, Hardin is enormous. What would you recommend they do? I don't have a dog in the fight but after watching them for the 2nd year now, one has to admit that what they do is done very well. I was pleasantly surprised to see them spread it out on their last drive and be able to go the length of the field, although there was no other choice. But. I really wouldn't throw shade with the little league soccer comparison. Newton has more speed than Hardin (and most teams) will see on their schedule, but if a little league comparison is going to be made... it should be to Newton's special teams. 2 lost onside kicks... and zero PATs ? Seriously? Surely there's someone that can kick at least one out of 4 through the uprights after a score. That was the difference in winning and losing.

Nederland went from bye week, to Baytown Lee, Galena park.. if pulled starters from those 2 games early that’s a month without playing a full game…

Congrats to our own Mike Sanchez! Thanks for all the hard work and effort that you provide for this community and for SETXsports.com!

Put me in the camp that doesn't like this. Also put me in the camp of this not making it anywhere on my "give a crap" meter. What I think is rich, is the same side cheering on a leftist for assassinating a health insurance CEO in broad daylight on the streets of NYC, the same side foaming at the mouth because a lone juror didn't let a mother walk for savagely murdering her children, and the same side celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk and the attempted murder of the POTUS on live TV, suddenly has a problem with livestreaming the execution of a POS muslim extremist who murdered 13 US soldiers and injured 32 more. I won't watch, but I will be glad when that POS is sent to the pits of hell. I can only hope they rub the bullets in pigs blood before they shoot him.

This is a program building win. Your two wins away from making the playoffs in one of the best divisions in football in your first year in 6a as the smallest school in 6A. That's pretty darn good.

Chandler Rome is claiming the new GM will be allowed to hire the next manager. Not sure what to think about Espada. The ingredients to cook with the last few years definitely didn't match the better rosters over the past decade or so. Some of the ingredients are outdated and some new additions were/are off brand items at name brand prices.

This day in age there's really no excuse. I started working with our kicker this year, and he learned how to kick off of tiktok and was all-district last year. with a few tweaks this year he's borderline D-1. He's naturally talented, and natural talent helps a lot, but there's a soccer player at every school in Texas who could be at least decent with about two weeks work.

It was not because of his/her shirt, it was because she disrupted the rally. She could of worn any shirt and it would of been the same result. He/she got exactly what she wanted to happen.... Oh, and I am as interested in the Epstein files being released as everyone before Trump.....and he has released more than anyone....

Silsbee has improved throughout the year, and common opponents are a fool's game, but based on what HF and Silsbee have done against common opponents, and based on what I saw the 2nd half from WOS last Friday, I think the stangs win this one by more than people think. Once they started switching coverages and bringing the heat our QB was seeing ghosts. With Silsbee's QB being a pocket passer, I have a feeling he's gonna be under pressure all night.

Have people already forgotten Nederland's impressive win over Almeta Crawford? Kept it close until the final minute against a stout WOS team. Saying they will lose first round is taking away from how well those boys can play. Yes, their competition has been lacking the last couple weeks, but they have done their job and handled business.

Let me make a few phone calls.

This team, coach and AD deserve support!

Game 38-35

I don’t necessarily want my starters sitting for half of three games in a row before starting a stretch against png, Texas city, and Dayton. Nederland might go as well as 3-0 in that stretch, but just as easily goes 0-3. Can’t afford a slow start just because the last couple weeks were blowouts.

Time to switch styles from blue to red LET'S GO BIG RED !!!

Battle tested coming thru.

Hardin going to state!

WOS literally just went to the state championship and we got people complaining about coaching 🤣

Lol, we'll I hope silsbee had more than 3 plays that bcz, last year they had many opportunities with Johnson running the RPO.in the second half all they tried to do was run the ball.and after watching there game tape.QB isn't mobile.snd seems like the only pass play they run is a fade route.that want work.and that's why I'm thinking w.o by at least 3scores.there defense want hold up against kj and #14 for West Orange.dont be surprised w.o is able to throw the ball at will.no disrespect to silsbee but I don't think there defense is that good.

I’ll say this.. I’ve seen a TON of salty Newton fans on facebook after losing to Hardin… a lot of coping going on. “That was their Super Bowl” “Newton has more playoff wins than most of the teams in SETX”… Relax Newton peeps you lost one district game your still a favorite to go to state lol

I agree.

You are among the few with that opinion I’d imagine

Yep. And for those fringe people they ll let that sway them🤦‍♂️

I got Beaumont in this one.

I would have recommended Manny's but it closed down a few months ago.

24-7 Lamar 7:29 2nd

🤣 4th quarter from hell tackling wise. That was the difference.

Not true. They continue to grow into what we have been expecting since day 1. They constantly have us questioning them. But then they do something like this. How could we complain after the adjustments they made in order to dominate the 2nd half. Hickman is in year 5 Hooks won year 6 Thompson 5 Gary Joseph 4 Jeff Joseph 2 Surratt 2 Just saying its still very possible. But this win is theirs. As i said earlier this week. H hadn't won in HF. Check another obstacle/milestone off the list. Keep on going. We're not done yet.

Like I said, this was possibly for the district championship.

All I know is this, the dumb , inept, incompetent coaching staff that yall are always looking for any & every reason in the world to denigrate, just coached their team from a 21 point deficit, to a 14 point win. But it luck, bad juju, withchcraft , or maybe somebody kidnap all of HF good players at halftime. Once again, small , insecure people, will always be small and insecure, no amount of facts , logic, or reason will change y’all’s mind. Let me predict the future, if they win state , it’ll be because they didn’t play anybody, it was 100% because of the players, or the other team felt sorry for them

That's not a representative comparison. The districts today and teams they play talent wise or nothing like those teams of the past. Even La Marque isn't the same with larger pools and more schools. Our general area has remained quite the same. If we're going to pull in the other coaches, I promise they bring more of a discipline that would reflect through performance but that's neither here nor there. The other comment is just ignorant. You like to bring in a certain topic that screams low self esteem and ignorance. By the way, why did they win all of those titles a decade or so ago. Talent plus discipline equals domination. Now that's facts. What is the overall record of the current coach in a much weaker district and being in an actual classification that's correct for size of school compared to the last couple.....? That should settle this wonderful debate.

Haven't been challenged yet this season. WOS has.

Yes sir and we're all still rooting for The Stangs.

Liked what I saw from Roberts throwing this week, a bunch of drops by WRs tonight. Big night by Woods receiving though. Run defense was bad tonight, best backfield we've played all year. Bye week next week then the final stretch of district. A few players need to heal up. Good game LP.

No going back. There's a game being played now.

Hands down they were… There wasn’t any coach in the world that you could’ve plugged in for WOS that would’ve changed the outcome

Injured Longhorn... prayers up

Well… about that lol

Yea, they probably would have won it with past coaches. Facts or facts. These districts are weaker...
