As manager, I have witnessed a lot of great games! The best ones are the games during the Mustangs' State Finalist run of 2000! We almost lost to Nederland that year and also almost lost to Ozen! We managed to survive!

According to KOGT's website, they are planning on showing the GCM-LCM game.

A hurricane is never going to hit here for the next 100 million years!

WO-S is in a weak district so they will dominate although non-district doesn't matter but it will be tough! They are facing teams that went to the playoffs last season. I remember back in 2000 when the Mustangs played non-District teams and it was very tough! 3-4 teams out of five went to the playoffs the previous season (Ozen, Jasper (did not qualify), Bay City, Lamar Consolidated, and Central (may went to the playoffs)) and went through ok although we did upset Bay City (they were the number one team in the Houston area and like #3 team in State polls coming into the game) and survived Ozen (sloppy game and eventually became District champs in their district).

Another thing to save money would be go back to two high schools. I've been saying it for a while now. There's no reason with Beaumont population declining to have 3 high schools. You would have alot less cost in the athletic department, less travel, etc.

Ozen shouldn't have been opened in the beginning. BISD is better off with 2 5A(6A) schools. It was meant something that way. Ozen's enrollment is probably declining. I feel bad for the school district these days on what they had to go through!

It is confirmed, yes!

It will be competitive with LCM and Silsbee in the district! LCM will be both at Jasper and Silsbee in '14 and it will be tough for them to beat these two! Jasper or Silsbee had been favorites to win the District Championship!

UCLA is my pick to win the PAC 12

Do not sleep on Iowa in the Big 10

Speaking of Iowa, they will expect to contend for their division which will be tough with Nebraska and Wisconsin! They have a good team this season!

When Miami gets revenge on Louisville. Miami vs Nebraska will be a ranked game. Gameday will be at Lincoln on the 20th.

They have to earn their spots on the team! It is not just given to them!

Bi-District pre-match possiblity? Nederland will take that one 28-21!

Pensacola will take that one! It will be a great matchup! Football is a way of life in both States!

Being underdogs will motivate Lumberton!

At WO-S, it is either the Mustang way or the highway!

H-D by 10!

The fact is that the best, most competitive high school athletic programs in the State (including football) are in the DFW Metroplex! It's a way of life over there!

We are all glad that the administration has hired a coach who wouldn't take anything from anyone! If they do not like the way Coach Strong and his staff handles the team, the players can go play somewhere else! Being a Texas Longhorn football player is a privilege, not a legal right! When they are on the team, they are representing the University of Texas at Austin, Austin the city, the State of Texas, and the United States of America! Coach Strong wants to play the best players!

I bet that he will be the AD/Head Football Coach for the next two decades!

Chase Rutledge and the guy from Silsbee will be mentioned!

I was right all along! He was the right person for the job!

We are 35 days away from the start of the Texas High School Football Season. And today is.....

I am hoping both WOS, Nederland, Newton, and HD go to Arlington this football season!

Very happy Joubert is gonna be the head coach!

The school board has to approve of his position first.

It had been my dream to be a public school admistrator back on the day being an assistant principal, principal, maybe even superintendent of a school district! I wanted to rebuild! Has anyone seen the movie Stand and Deliver? The late Jaime Escalante played by Edward James Olmos first taught a remedial math class in an inner city high school. His students then started to take challenging math courses. On a trip to a factory to learn more about careers, Mr. Escalante discovered calculus and had an idea of teaching an AP Calculus class! The administrators at his school think it is impossible to do that and he said to them if the students get a passing score (3 minimum), they will get college credit for the course and they reluctantly let Mr. Escalante teach the class. Man, the students had to make sacrifices for that including giving up relationships and summer! When they took the test, almost all passed! When the College Board found out about that, they think that the students were dishonest because they were in a poor, inner-city school and opened in an investigation! With a representative from the Board proctering the exam, the students passed and in the coming years more students at the high school took and passed the AP Calculus test! If I were principal, I would be like the youngest high school principal in the State. If my plan to improve academics and others on campus within like 2-4 years and made it exemplary at WOS, there could be a movie featuring like Ryan Reynolds playing me!

Will NS make do without their coach? Maybe. The question still remains. Coach Aymond has put the football program on the map! Hopefully his successor will carry on the tradition! Other than that, I am going with Memorial on winning the district title!
