Some great matchups this week in region 3 and 4.Salado/Belville,WO-S/Madisonville in 3 and Wimberley/Sweeny, Cuero/Navarro in 4.I think all but one (Belville ) were predicted to make it to round three.Well here we all are...It ain't Friday yet?????

Cleanup on isle 7...

I don't like to predict actual scores because I'm so good at it, and it tends to scare some folks. But I've got WO-S by 24 and Madisonville scores 7.  You do the math.

Well said.  Last year is last year and we just need to be thankful that we were able to witness it.  The two years prior, WOS got into some tougher games and were still able to play in the final game. I am not saying it is a given WOS will be there this year.  I do trust this coaching staff that has a proven track record and do think these athletes have not yet reached their full potential as a team. This young teams growth was also stunted by Harvey...some coaching, growing up and teachable moments were lost.  Let’s enjoy each step this years team climbs and I truly hope that I am driving to Dallas in December.  If not, I still have to doff my cap to one hell of a run and hope that it is the starting point of another!  

I do cringe when I see what seems to be a default 40 point win prediction every time the Mustangs take the field.  Last year is last year and it seems like those that make those predictions are expecting Jack Dallas, KJ Miller, Mo Joseph, Jeremiah Shaw, T Brown and others from last year's team to pop out of the Mustang inflatable.  They won't...they've graduated and are on to the next phase of their lives (which all of them seem to be doing real well in).  Cornel Thompson realizes that, Eddie Dyer realizes that, Mike Pierce realizes that.   It might be time for some of us to realize that.  Last year's team and their accomplishments will go down in the annals of Texas High School Football History.  It probably won't happen again in our lifetime, it might not happen ever again.
So when I see Eddie criticized for not doing things on offense that the Mustangs did last year, I find that patently unfair to him.  Jack Dallas and Chaka Watson are two different young men.  There are parts of the offensive playbook that he opens up for Chaka to execute that he would have never dreamed of asking Jack to do.  By the same token, there are parts of the play book that he would open up to Jack that he would never ask Chaka to do.  Why?  Not because one is any less of an quality quarterback than the other, but because they possess different skill sets which lend themselves to different parts of the Mustang playbook.
Would I like to see some of the same things as last year? Of course.  But the current personnel package needs to have plays called that fit in their skill sets, not the skill sets of Jack or KJ or Keion or Jeremiah.  And last Friday painted the Mustang's offense further into a corner.  I don't know of any team that would be able to lose the services of their starting quarterback and expect the offense to run smoothly.  It doesn't happen in the NFL, it doesn't happen in the NCAA and no, it doesn't happen in West Orange, Texas.  Tyrone Wilson will do great things when it is his turn, but to expect him to at this point to do the same things as Chaka is just as unfair as expecting Chaka to be a carbon copy of Jack.  And to expect Eddie Dyer to call the same plays for those 3 different young men is the height of stupidity.
The end result is that the Mustangs won, just as they have done for every week that they have played since the middle of 2015 for 37 straight games and 14 straight playoff games.
Now that is not to say that I don't believe the 2017 Mustangs are a top notch ball team.  They are on a path to play for a 3rd straight state championship.  All I am saying is that there is no need to blow a gasket and demand wholesale changes in a great coaching staff because they aren't beating teams by 30-40 points!

What coach in the whole State of Texas wouldn’t be spoiled having JD and company?? Come on! Eddie is doing an awesome job. People need to stop trying to compare this team to last years. It’s not fair to the coaches or kids. This is a different team with a different playing style. If anyone has been spoiled the last few years it’s the fans that can’t understand last years graduating class was a once every 20+ year team! There are plays where CW had almost 8 options or Check downs that could probably score every time but CW hasn’t had that much time to read all of them. 

First time I've seen people wanting to blame the OC this year when things don't go right.You got a sophomore thrown out there with the first string that is used to working with the second string.You saw what happened to some of the handoffs so the OC has to keep it simple for him. No need to show your hand to the scouts in the stand if you don't need to.I would assume Wilson will get more time with the first string this week just in case he is needed again.We will be fine and the OC has been doing a good job mixing it up this year.Oh...Watson's weapon is his feet not his arm.

Good luck to wo-s but this is the first time in a while that some of the other teams I division 2 are pretty strong as well now wo-s has been head and shoulders above everyone for years and is one of the best programs to model after very classy but they are a small step down from last year thank god region 4 will eliminate each other except for 1 probably cuero wo-s is the favorite to get back to Dallas but can’t have any mental mistakes or come unprepared this year these teams left are not playing around and they are after wo-s good thing y’all have a great coach to get after the kids and get them back focus im a tigers fan but rooting for wo-s and silsbee I want our kids to succeed every chance they can good luck to all of our setx teams.

My thoughts are to be the best,  you have to beat the best!  Tradition, class, physical football, expecting to win are all things we strive for each day.  We are in the second year of our new mindset and new expectations and strive to become a perennial contender like WOS. Average has become the enemy here!   We have the utmost respect for your team, coaches, and community.  We will show up and play with the expectations  to win and give our best and see where we are at versus the best!  What a great opportunity and gauge for where we are and where we wanna be in the near future.  God Bless WOS and Madisonville and lets do Friday night football proud with a great hard fought game!  

It is what it is, same thing goes for our game against the Indians. We should've never let it get decided by the refs. Instead, we got outcoached in the second half when we should've kept the foot on the gas. 

It'll go a long ways if you act like you've been there before

I remember the first sports cast that Mike Friedman did...IT WAS HORRIBLE.  I was at my folks house that night and I told my dad that Friedman would be fired before his next one, it was so bad.  But he grew into.
Heather is very talented and well spoken...she is also very young and will grow.  Folks, having been on there a few times myself (and that was as a guest), it ain't easy.

WOS has been dominating the district for a lot longer than the last three to four years.  Somebody can correct me, but I think they've only lost one district game since 09 or something like that. 
You're kinda making my point for me.... if PAMs JV could beat most of the district's varsity squads, why does PAM keep ending up as co-champs?

lol, if it makes you feel better i did WOS/Newton 2017   27-20 wos, ........ill take my crow pickled with a dab of tony's 

Only one that was played and had an actual outcome.

Open enrollment? Yes (as do most school districts in Texas)? 
Recruiting of players is a baseless rumor started by folks jealous of success.  Fact is that over the last few years, Mustangs have been poached and are not the poachers.

Come on man! We only have a fraction of the students. We have no business in that district. IJS

Excuse me, what part of this statement is NOT UNDERSTOOD!:
Area round info only please. No commentary on this thread.

WOS has enjoyed Texan Drive the last two years.

Beat the Cougars!!
 

The young qb at HJ throws ball very well!  Classy bunch of young men!  Prayers for continued recovery from Harvey.  God Bless those in Sour Lake and surrounding communities!
 
 

Go Crosby and New Caney!!!

Strange game. LCM actually moved the ball pretty well for a team that got shut out. In the first half they had 11 first downs and the radio guys said they had two drives during the game that were over 6 minutes...they just could not finish. Also, Kilgores offense is really hard to prepare for.

FINAL FROM SAN AUGUSTINE:
Newton    58
Arp           0

Purpleeagle pulling for WO-S. Mustangs and Eagles will roll tonight.
