No, just 2. 2000 lost the state title. 2001-2002 went 8-2 and no playoffs. 2003 dropped and made playoffs.
No, it was three years. 2001 WOS was 5-5. Along with losing Coach T, we moved to the spread offense and there were some growing pains. 2002 and 2003 had two pretty good teams go 8-2. In my opinion, defense wasn't the biggest problem but it was offense....which stung us even when Coach T came back. We dropped in 2004 and lost somehow (I'm sure some folks would have better insight here) in the first round. 2005 made a good run with Beasley and Earl...and ran into Wimberly.

So, would the indoor practice facility only be used during extreme conditions? Practice is to get ready for a game. With the exception all of very few special games, games occur in the elements...rain, SETX heat and hopefully some cold weather. Especially in our area and early season games, you want players acclimated to heat.
I don't think I have to worry about WOS making that switch anytime soon. Although, I have enjoyed the indoor playing playing facilities mid December the last three years!

I agree with what you are saying but I am saying it is not a fair level playing field for teams that must travel long distances. Rotating the site is as close to being fair as it can get. I love Cowboy stadium and it is wonderful but I hope it does not turn into a Jerry Jones owned UIL. Heck if you pay attention to Jerry's College kick-off games, It seldom is Texas schools in those games. Why bring in out of state schools like Alabama, Arkansas, LSU ect so they can recruit and steal our Texas top football players. That proves he does not care about Texas high school football- only the All-mighty Dollar. Wake up!
I don't care what college teams play there and when they play there, nor about the price of tea of China. AT&T puts on a big time show!! The fans enjoy it and I am sure the majority of the players that will never set foot on that turf again enjoy it. It is without a doubt the most BIG TIME field in the state.....let the kids enjoy that moment in the sun!!

My brother and I regularly make the trip to championship weekend, wherever it is played. I have spent the whole extended weekend in Dallas three times, and was at NRG last year. I can tell you straight up that there is no comparison. The overall atmosphere at AT&T is much more electric. Of course, the number one factor in this is that big screen, but there are may other factors that make it a great experience. Music selection, and filming the fans during tv intermissions is very entertaining. They do a great job up there. NRG was not terrible, but they lack a lot in facility amenities AND effort. None of my opinions are shaped by the Dallas Cowboys or Houston Texans.
I agree. The fan involment at NRG was lacking. I enjoyed the short drive to NRG but have enjoyed the atmosphere at AT&T in '14 and '16 more.

It can be said and doesn't mean anyone thinks Navarro is going to come out of the game with a win. It is fact they will be the best Slot T team WOS has seen but with that said, i still have WOS winning by at least two TD
I'm not sure how comparable Kennedale and Navarro are athletically. I've only seen Navarro highlights and highlights do not tell the tale. However, I did watch the WOS vs Kennedale game in person. Many of my friends could not go so we talked on the phone at halftime. WOS was shutting Kennedale out but I told them it would not end in a shutout. That this was a dang good team.
Both are in their respective divisions semifinal....if Navarro is better than Kennedale, then this will indeed be a dogfight. Kennedale has a monster at LB/DE that I believe is going to Ohio State. Against him and that D, WOS still put up 45.
Since this is a message board of opinions.....I think the heavier burden lies on the Navarro defense. If they contain/slow down the WOS offense, then it allows them to keep running. If WOS imposes their will offensively, then it will be a track meet that Navarro can't keep pace with.

I'm sure there are some Cuero folks that can attest that WOS is wee bit physical. Navarro runs the wing T offense, that makes them more physical? Same song and basically the same verse. Come the third quarter the ball carriers will be bracing for impact rather than looking downfield.

For the most part, the bigger schools are spread oriented. Running type offenses, and the reason I say this because a lot of people on here call everything the "slot-T" when it's a wing-T, wishbone, or several other variations there in, are good when the other team has several players going both ways. Several teams around here run the slot because of Jeff Mathews. Ofield, BC, Buna and a few others were at one time Jeff's assistants and carried the offenses off with them to other schools. No matter what anyone else says, it is a good offense dependent on the type of athletes you have. Angleton runs a wing-T and they run that offense to perfection. The team that knocked Crosby out last year, Ridge Point, was running the wing-T. The only point I was making is that I don't take this team lightly and I AM A MUSTANG FAN! I just watch a lot of high school football and this team WOS is playing looks like the real deal. Just sayin... Barring any other disasters this week, I will be at NRG to root for my second favorite high school team, the West Orange Stark Mustangs!
I do have a question. Many folks argue that a team runs the slot T/wing T etc because that is the type of athletes they have. Has Vidor not had a QB that was able to sling it? I know of several athletes that played DB that also would have been burners at WR. I have many friends that graduated from Vidor and they say the same thing. But that's an outsiders perspective.
There have been instances of smaller schools running this offense and winning the grand prize. Someone even mentioned Ennis utilizing it a couple of years ago (talk about a 180 from the 2000 team) and winning state. It seems to me to be short sighted. Yes, if you have a good team, team then you could win district. But it proves difficult to keep up in the playoffs....and I'm talking 5A and above. When the opposing team gets up a couple touchdowns, then the "grind the clock down offense" is in bad shape. Yes, many argue that "we can throw when we have to" but the opposing defense knows that you have to as well.
As far as being "brought down down to planet Earth".....we have been there many times. Fans are just expressing their opinions. If we all felt the game would be 49-14 but all came on said "close game, looking for a 21-14 game" then what is the point of having these boards? It would be like the DJ on Fred Clause playing "Here Comes Santa Clause" 24/7 (a little holiday reference).

Goblin, on the previous show they gave you a serious "shout out"(referring to you by one of your screen names on another site)....I don't recall the exact wording but something to the effect of "a Texas high school football historian". Very Nice!!
I'm sure you heard the show...but I know that I am appreciative of your work and glad to hear that it has a wide wingspan.

This post really ticks me off. We have not had a good kicker for several years, but one boy stepped up to the plate and said I would like to have that job. From what I understand, he had ZERO experience and no soccer. I was told he went to kicking camps at UT, to work on his technique. WOS, to my knowledge, does not have a kicking coach, but, there is an ex-Mustang kicker with the expertise and experience to help him. The young man lines up to do his level best to put it through the uprights. Give him a break and your support, instead of posting criticism on him. He has improved all year, and is still getting better.

Yup....well said. A young man thought he could help and certainly has. Regardless of any extra points, like Griff said, he has been instrumental in this teams success. WOS doesn't have to do "mortar kicks" and have the opposing team start at the 40. From the 40, a team only needs a couple first downs and they are in 4 down territory. Someone pointed out that the average starting field position is the 27...huge difference. It is basically making a team march the length of the field against a great defense.
With that being said, I have more confidence in our XPs than I have in a long time. Along with the ability to nail a field goal if need be. Many of us are aware of the challenges that this position faces with our team. I applaud both young men for stepping up.
So unmmmmm TD....do you have anymore Dallas boys coming up through the ranks?!

No new surprises in this one WOS rolls on to round 3.
No surprises? But this will be the first prolific passing game WOS has faced this year. While WOS has owned the running game it has primarily faced this year.....this will be something new. Yes, this group has been together for a long time and has faced such; but the surprise could be an adjustment period to an offense WOS hasn't faced in a long time.
I expect WOS to do well against the Robinson defense. However as the saying goes "There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip".

Hahaha!!! So y'all actually have matching screen names on here?? Awwwwww!! How freaking cute!!! How bout y'all just get matching PT Criusers with personalized license plates with a couple of stickers on the back saying how much y'all love each other. Haha!! Better yet wear matching outfits to the next Mustang game. Matching screen names! Unbelievable!
We usually do wear matching shirts. It is fun when you enjoy a Friday with the one you love and your best friend.
I can only hope you get to enjoy the same experience.
However, Seeing as how you only wish to insult folks "Education "......i sure hope you make up a most wonderful background!

I like that fiery attitude!! Keep it up buddy! Maybe Coach Thompson will let you run through the tunnel with the team! I mean why wouldn't he let the #1 stang fan do that ha!!
You feel the need to call out grammar and call folks uneducated.....why don't you tell us all about your education?

In fact if we all had to spell check/Grammar etc....I would wager that WOSGrad is the guy go to.....
However, when folks aren't 100% correct on their punctuation or grammar....as long as they make their point ...he sits idly bye.

They obviously didn't teach you proper grammar. I'm guessing you missed English class a little too much.
This isn't your first post to correct "grammar". I'm glad you feel it your duty to inform folks.....on a football forum. I would bet that there are many that could "out grammar you".....you have been schooled before.
I guess we should all spell check and grammar check before mentioning football for fear that Uncle Pig will Check You!!

I listened (endured) this whole game on my way home. First of all, I know it is said often, but hearing some other broadcasts makes you appreciate Gary Stelly even more.
Neither team played much defense (obviously). I really don't recall Robinson having but a couple sustained drives. Most were very quick scores including their first of the game for 99 yards. It sounded like a broken record "Allison with all kinds of time to throw....finds a wide open receiver". Caldwell did grab a lead in the third quarter on a pick 6. Caldwell came into the game averaging 25 points per game on offense and managed to more than double their usual output.
I did hear them say that the center was a freshman. I don't know if he has been playing all year or was filling in. I am sure he will get to know Mr. Turner-King in short order.
It will be nice facing a passing team. As far as Robinson having film to study....there isn't much out there this year of WOS defending the pass.

West Orange-Stark (3-0) vs Kennedale (4-0)
in High School Football
Posted
Last year has come and gone. To compare that team to this one is almost as unfair as what happened on the field for most of the 2016 WOS opponents. This is a young team and WOS had a young team in 2015 and we know what happened. I'm not saying they are going to win it all or win squat....no one knows. What last years Kennedale team did against that team means nothing also. It was garbage time let downs that allowed this score. If anything the coaching staff will work to minimize those same letdowns.
