The QB play and player more specifically are being singled out.  Last year the passing game wasn’t elite but WOS made it to the title game.  The coaches do a fantastic job of putting the KIDS in what they feel is the best position to win.  Their will to win is evident by the WOS alltime record.....and the record speaks for itself.  This is a small school....there isn’t always a Kyler Murray or in our case a Jack Dallas, Sterling Cole waiting in the wings.  
We all have ideas about who could play better at each position but that is all they are....ideas.  WOS has a great head coach and staff.  I’m sure many of the kids aren’t in the position they thought they would be in but are doing the best and trying to do what is asked of them.  Every player is where the coaches put them and their ability or lack thereof to perform in that position is not their fault.  They are trying to do the best with their given assignment.
In short, what I am trying to say is that these are young men (kids)....let’s just keep that in mind.

Earl was jr. Deion was a senior.

Idk.....he has been heavy on picking them for a while.

Griff, it depends on which team is having the better season.  Get it right!

WOS has some talent returning and a lot of kids got some game experience.  That will help a lot because Coach Thompson won’t have to do so much mix and match early in the season.  With that being said no matter what is returning I can’t doubt Coach T.  There have been times where the kids overachieved and he seems to give them every chance to do so.

The QB play has to drastically change from this past year, like the old saying goes  - "if you have 2 QBs (rotating) then you have none" because Inaccuracy and Decision making was far below par from that position, IMO. Defense will only improve as underclassman will reprise there role and weaknesses will become strengths. Good thing is they have two elite/top tier classes coming on deck with the 8th & 9th graders who are very similar to the WOS class of 2017 that was so dominant.

2000 y’all played Ennis in the state championship game. You mean 01to 03 y’all did not make the playoffs. 04 lost in the 1st round

It's entirely possible that WOS, Silsbee and Jasper will be in the top 5 in the 4A DII preseason poll next summer. WOS overcame a tough start and should be outstanding as usual next season. 
 

Good luck to both teams. Whoever comes out ahead will have earned it and will represent our area well. Praying for player safety and safe travel for those that made the drive. Wish I could have made it. 

Texas City and La Marque in 1997.  I believe Texas City was the district champ and La Marque slipped into the playoffs as the third place team.

Well, this go around WOS isn’t ranked #2, not undefeated, it isn’t the first round of the playoffs and Silsbee wasn’t held to -17 yards in the first matchup.
Looking forward to a good game!

I'm staying at LaQuinta across the street for free.
If it starts raining any harder I may just sit here in room, order a pizza, drink beer and listen to Tim broadcast the game.

Being able to pass when it's being successfully set up by the run is one thing. Having to pass to move the chains because your ground game is not working is quite a different deal. I believe you and I discussed this very thing at one point earlier this year. Can this QB be effective enough throwing the ball, when the defense knows he's going to throw the ball? Can he carry his team with his arm when the run game isn't there? I didn't think he looked like he would be able to do that earlier in the year. I have not seen him in a while, he may have improved. But, I think this will be the big difference in this game. Can he move the sticks when he doesn't have the run to support him? We're going to see, here, shortly. I DO think he's going to have to have a big night through the air to win. Is he ready?

Wish I could find some field gold.....

The game aside...my hope is that everyone makes the journey there and back safely.

Against the power of whoever is calling these shots, Mother Nature about to overrule somebody. What a bunch of idiots.
Pray that none of those buses (football, band, drill team, cheerleaders) have nothing go wrong. 

WOS players and coaches have the same gold this week...play hard and leave it all on the field and hopefully get that W.

If it depends on when everyone plays each other that means Silsbee is better than Jasper right now.

It they had hunt... Newton no. Png maybe. Ned yes.

I disagree.Puts schools playing teams with closer enrollments and that is not watering down...that's just being fair.Just MO.
