Which Jeff are you referring to? If it is Mathews, then my understanding these calls have been made and he just wants to scrimmage. Do you really think WOS didn't exhaust every option before scheduling this game??

I will take the bait....what have you seen from Kennedale to make you think that they will beat WOS. This game is a couple of weeks down the road but I did see your predictions preseason and was just wondering what your reasoning is. We are all entitled to an opinion, just curious.

Don't know much about either team except Gilmer has put up some points. If anyone has any insight, pass it on.

I agree. But many of the programs that run this...the coach never changes the offense. Rather than adapt to the players talent, the players are molded to the coaching philosophy.

I have argued this with my friends that are fans of other teams that do the same thing. In my opinion if you run an offense like this, you are being very short sighted. Sure you might go 8-2 but you have mortgaged the farm on winning some ball games and have put the ultimate prize out of reach. My best friend growing up went to LCM and during the "good" years I would tell him as soon as they run into a team that can stop the run, the book is closed. That was the mid to late 90s. In 2000 WOS saw Friendswood and ultimately Ennis running more wide open offenses and it seems about that time that the offensive landscape as a whole has changed. We have seen the more successful programs in the state have a spread or at least a more balanced attack (there are exceptions to the rule). Anyway....just agreeing with your post. I would like to see those teams cultivate their athletes talent to give them more of a chance.

You seem very knowledgable so I'm not trying to challenge what you say. Those guys are the most prominent but a couple others have made it to the NFL as well.

There are several times where teams have had success running the ball against WOS. Giddings, Brookshire, Coldspring, Jasper (2013) to name a few. All of these are more the exception than the rule. I do think this years version of the WOS defense is very well suited for stopping or at least slowing down a very good running team. Enough to put them in passing situations.

Yes, I recall a Paris team doing that in '88.

Vanna, may we buy some punctuation? I think that I am gathering that if BC barely beats WOS, then they handed it to WOS. If WOS wins by one, then it is a bit of a let down....and lastly if WOS runs the table on them, then they are not being good sports. If my interpretation is correct, then the first two scenarios are the burden that is beared when a team is a heavy favorite. Such is life. The last scenario in which WOS is accused of running up the score....neither team so far has complained. I will tell you this, if WOS wins by one...I won't be let down at all. I bet there are many Mustang faithful that feel the same way.

BC needs to practice one kick 10,000 times this week during practice...and that one kick is the punt!! It will be a long night for BC if all they do is attempt to run the ball. WOS has plenty of experience playing teams that run this offense, including playoff opponents that "ran it well". What we saw from these teams is that once they got down by a few scores, they had to pass. It has been said that BC could pass if they had to. The problem with passing when you have to....the defense knows you have to as well.

Buddy, the next couple of years LCM had some talented teams with Curtis, Bo Louis and Jeremy Crosson but kind of underachieved. Followed by Chris Omey at QB in '97 and that is the last year I recall them being pretty good.

It was 1994 and LCM had Craig Merritt, Scott Worster and Buster Ascoll was the QB. LCM lost in the 3rd round to Willis lead by Michael Bishop at QB

A little "Remember the Titans" humor? Like it....

35-7? When did Nederland score?

Slow down with the all time mess?? "If he plays college ball he will be made a Wes Welker". Wow....Kyler Murray isn't exactly living up to college hype but can anyone deny what he did on the high school field? I'm in no way comparing the two but he doesn't have to do anything at the next level to be appreciated at the high school level. The poster said he was one of the best gamers of all time. Did not call him the best player of all time, the best player at his position or the best player at his school....simply one of the best gamers of all time. To back up that statement....Jack was thrust into starting duty in 2014 as a sophomore in week one for circumstances out of his control...he simply, as a gamer lead the Mustangs to the state title game. The following year, "the gamer" lead a team that returned 5 starters to a championship. It doesn't matter how tall he is, how fast he runs, what the PA News writes and has to correct....he is a gamer!! Those things should only weigh in his corner since he overcame odds. The statement was "gamer" nothing else....but the final chapter has not been written on Jack Dallas and I can't wait to read it!! Go Mustangs 2016!! Everyone is anointing the title but the true fans know that nothing is given...it will be earned. Go earn every win!!

I don't know what he said and what he didn't say but I would like to think that since Coach Thompson has been doing this since before I was born, he has a good grasp on what he should say and shouldnt say.  It is funny that when coaches give their scripted responses, everyone dismisses it and says "oh thats just cookie cutter responses or he is saying what he should say....I wonder what he is really thinking".  Well, when one of them says what they are really thinking (at any level HS, College, Pro) people get their feelings hurt. With or without the penalties and turnovers, Navasota wins....we just made sure there wasn't any suspense.

Yes...congrats Navasota and good luck going forward.  That QB is something to watch!!

Yeah the action has slowed down a little on this thread...the calm before the storm!!!  I can't wait.  I think it will be a great game....looking forward to a large, pumped up crowd from both sides!!  December High School Football at its best!!  Lets hope everyone makes the trip safely and both teams enjoy an injury free game.

Yeah, this seems to go against Coach T's adamant philosophy of not looking ahead.  To make this statement would mean he has peeked ahead at the competition remaining should his team advance.

[quote name="mreed" post="1348310" timestamp="1354557699"] The best defense you've seen at WOS?!?! You're kidding me! The '97 and '98 defenses were the best...you're arguement is invalide. [/quote] I bet the 2000 bunch might take a little offense to them not being mentioned.

[quote name="bulldogs1990" post="1347925" timestamp="1354500472"] Your funny dude I watch a game every Thursday and Friday during regular season and watch one Friday and last Saturday I watched 3 at reliant. since playoffs my friend i have watched 11 playoff games.

I believe that Navasota is the better overall team. Now does that equate into a win for Navasota over WO-S this Friday? No it does not. It's about match ups and I believe WO-S will match up well against Navasota, just not well enough. Pulling for the Stangs, but I see Navasota winning this one. [/quote] If your going to the game AggiesWeAre and wanna give me a point spread we can do a doube or nothing on our previous bet [/quote] I'll give you 7 points.
