Some of you old timers on here may remember Curtis Ceasar, (I believe that's his name), played for Hebert back in the early 70's.  One year during the Soul Bowl vs CP played at Lamar, he threw the ball from about his own 30 and the ball hit about half way up the embankment under the scoreboard, I can remember everyone in the stands being kind of stunned on how far he threw it.  Like I said not real accurate but a cannon for an arm.

As a matter of fact, I have been told that when we, WOS, merged is when PNG started using the song. Chrokee was the WO Chiefs fight song. Could be wrong, but that is what I have been told numerous times. Something about that song that just sends chills down your spine. Maybe thats just me though. And its coach Thompsons fault. in 1997, the Monday before the game we were going to play on Friday, he had a boom box in the fieldhouse and literally played Cherokee over, and over, and over. This is no lie, ask him. And just when one side of the tape would finally run out, he would casually walk out of his office and flip it over and hit play.

oh, and both us and PNG were undefeated. Believe we were number 2 in state and they were 4 or 5.

The original fight song for West Orange was “Hail to the Victors” but Cherokee became the de facto fight song in the early 70’s. 

If true, this is good.  This will give us visibility on a national level because of his old man that we haven't had in a while.  Good, bad or indifferent, publicity is publicity.   

Some constructive criticism, I even hate to call it criticism, maybe helpful advice would be better, anyway too much time passes without the score being known if you are just joining the broadcast.  I joined the broadcast in 2nd quarter and it was about 8 minuters before I heard the score.  If you guys read this here is some helpful advice I was given during an internship while in college back in the late 70's, these guidelines are still relevant.  Always make it a habit to give the score and time on clock during the following situations during the course of the game.
       -After a 1st Down
       -After change of possession (see below)
        -Going into and out of a time out
       -At the end and beginning of quarter or half
       -After a turn over
       -Any other time that you feel necessary.
Keep in mind no one complains when the score of time left to play is given too often.

I do appreciate your work, overall a nice job of describing game, just need to get the score in a little more often.  I am a SE Texas native but now live in Kansas and this is how I get my high school football fix because Kansas HS football leaves a lot to be desired.

BTW....  29-8  WOS over Silsbee at half.

Bridge City went twice that I know of. 1965 lost but I don't remember to who. 1966 won against Mckenny 30-6. I think this is the two years they went. I moved to BC in the late 70's and don't know if they had ever been earlier than the mid 60's.

BC lost to Brownwood.

Maybe they can get some sponsorship money for the athletic budget from Whataburger, just change stripes color from blue to orange.

Here is an artist rendering of the new Allen Stadium with an accompanying article.  I guess this what 60mil will get you.....

77 you are correct, it is about economics and things do change, that's life.  Just pointing out this wasn't a program designed to cater to WOS athletes as some have implied.  The bus program pre-dates WOS.

Ok guys let’s get some prospective on this.  The WOC district has been providing bus service for kids in extra-curricular activities since as far back as 1971.  This service was open to anyone who participated in after school programs, (I know because I was at West Orange high school when the service began).  I assume this policy has not changed until this new policy was announced.  I no longer live in Orange, (about 800 miles away), and haven’t for about 25 years but I still keep close ties there.  I don’t care what district you live in, if a standard practice is changed after 35+ years I am sure a lot of you would not be happy about it.  So for all you out there that think this is something WOS did just to cater to its athletes, your wrong.  It was something put into place before a lot of you were on this earth.  I am not arguing the merits of this practice or against it, just pointing out that some of you need to engage in a little fact finding before jumping to conclusions.

Gary Hammond - TJ  1967 & 68 .  I was in 5th or 6th grade but saw him play when TJ played Orange and he was quite an athlete.  Surprised some of you old TJ folks forgot about him.

The stream is distorted and very hard to understand.

Hey you have to give Coach Moody credit for one thing, this is the best entertainment provided on this board in a long time! Things were getting kinda dull.   ;D

At West Orange I had the distinct privilege of playing for both Ronnie Anderson and Wayne Williams.  There was never a dull moment at any practice or game.  I could fill a whole thread with their quotes, the only problem is most of what they said can't be printed here! Here is one that is printable.  Every year before the LCM game Coach Anderson would tell us..."Now boys I don't like those Cardinals (Bridge City), or Tigers (Silsbee) but I can't stand those d**n Bears!"

Great feature. I enjoy the board but had stated earlier I didn't care for the look. Well needless to say that has been fixed and then some! Nice job. I am using the comic book. Much better now.

Why?

In Shawnee, been up here for longer than I want to remember. Not bad really. Just miss those Friday Nights! If you have lived in KS very long you know the HS football is lacking.

Not much of a poster just an observer, but looks good. I am a misplaced SE Texan now in Kansas.
