I'll be there expecting a beatdown......Go Stangs

Well we are what our record says we are. We’ve battled injuries at key positions and a lot kids out of thier norm not having thier homes to live in , including coaches. Harvey definitely didn’t help. But hey they made the playoffs just go out there play hard have fun an let’s the cards fall where they may. Maybe we can steal a 1st round win. I know you wasn’t dogging them. Keep on Trucking! Good Luck to all area teams!

This will be a he'll of a game...  A strain on both defenses...both will face unique and unorthodox offenses...  First coach to make the adjustment wins...

You know we're all hoping our teams can catch fire and make a deep run in the playoffs.... but those of us from Henderson and Kilgore know what lies waiting in the Regional Finals and it's a scary, scary thing.

Lol people rarely do mention them so I have to jump in when I can 

Ya know I used to say let Bost start at QB and let RJ be a slot or receiver because I thought that combination would be lethal. It might have been but look what we would have missed on offense. Yes I question BF all the time, but getting on here and airing out that frustration does not work. I have been wrong many times in questioning him. Does he make bone head moves, sure like almost killing RJ the other night. But he is 9-1 and there is a lot to be said about that. Hell, make an appointment with him and voice your concerns. Ask him why he benches some of those seniors. He may have a good reason, then again he may not, but at least you will know.

I find it pretty funny when fans/parents blame the coaches for the players not performing. Do you truly think that coaches are not teaching kids to wrap up when tackling? Have you gone to practices and watched what is going on? Some times kids just do not execute t game plans and don’t use the fundamentals they are taught by the coaches. Coaches are not always to blame. Some times they are....but not always

I honestly have no idea. Let’s play ball. 

47-0 midway thru 3rd

I think you need a new keyboard, looks like your caps lock keeps sticking.

63-0 well I don't see that happening, but I'm realistic guys and know we have to play a perfect game, control the clock, and score touchdowns when we have the opportunity, and hope WOS plays poorly. Do I see that happening, no but that's why you play the games right. Come on guys everyone that knows football knows this is a David versus Goliath type game and our chances of winning are slim, but this will be a great test for our young team. They've grown up every week and have gotten better through out the year. After LCM put it on us all you heard was how bad Orangefield must be, well that wasn't such a bad loss after all, and that was also our first game of the year after missing 3 games due to Harvey. Last week we held a pretty good HJ offense to 12 points, and our offense did just enough to win the game.
These kids work hard and play hard, and I know a lot of people hate our style of offense, but it fits our kids perfectly. We don't have the athlete's and numbers to run the spread or any type of exotic offense. We don't have the speed, so we try to run right at people behind our big offensive line and control the clock. Sorry that's boring but that's us!!!
Comments like 63-0 come off as a slap in the face to our kids, coaches, and our program, and I just get tired of hearing all of that. I believe most of WOS fans respect us and don't get on here and bash our kids that way. And I'm pretty sure Cornell feels the same way and respects our program and our coaches enough to not run the score up even if he could. Let's just hope both teams come out injury free and make a run in the playoffs.

Before folks make the assumption that Central was trying to pull the wool over the district's eyes, let's remember a couple of things.  By Ogletree's tweets, it is apparent that this was a self reporting by Central, not them being caught by someone else.  Second, it didn't sound like the playing of these players was intentional but rather it was simply confusion about eligibility rules and an "eligibility cutoff."   If someone could explain that "cutoff" to me, it would be appreciated.

Pak, you had to reach waaay back!

I heard Orangefield is sending the JV to take care of WOS tomorrow. Source may not be reliable...

In order for a "Rivalry" to happen, there as to be a 50/50 chance for either team to win.  Even BC vs OF, I wouldn't consider it a "Rivalry" as BC will win 9/10 times.  If HJ was our (OF) neighbor, that would be a rivalry as that winner is not set.  LCM vs WOS is not a Rivalry as the only time LCM actually beat WOS was c/o 95 year.... c/o will never live that down.... ha ha ha.
 
Good Luck to WOS, I hope Orangefield uses their BOBCAT PAWS and give the Mustangs cat scratch fever or something and come out with the WIN!!!  I'm be cheering for my boys this Friday night against the Mustangs.  Score............. 3-0.. Rainey kicks a field goal as time runs out.......
 
 
 
 

Many will argue that is not really that bad of a thing.
There are a number of reasons why this thread doesn't get the number of posts as a Mid County Madness thread.  First, there is really not a lot of animosity between Bobcat and Mustang fans.  Most Mustang fans, like GUNHO, openly root for the Bobcats on every Friday night except one (I am one).  Two, Bobcat fans are not your big trash talkers....they support their teams but going after other teams is not their style.

Let's worry about Orangefield first.  Royal isn't going anywhere.

Not bad lol

Refs didn’t miss extra points, refs didn’t get personal foul penalties for loosing their cool, refs didn’t miss blocks, refs didn’t miss tackles.
facemask was legit, but to put that on refs.... we need to execute better.
HJ needs to win next week.  

Wow!! You WOS fans are welcome!! Everytime I predict a WOS loss we win!  WOS wont win Bi-district either!!.

Left at halftime.  WO-S schemed Liberty's offense to perfection.  I have heard of 10 men in a box..this was 11 men within 3 yards of the ball..no where to run, no where to hide.  Nose guard was a submarine  and the ends were jack knifing on the edge.  Very impressive defensive game for WO-S.  The WO-S offense doesn't have near the same feel as last year's team, but still plenty of weapons and they run downhill really quickly.  Good job Stangs.

Good luck to both teams! Hope for a clean, injury free game!

Well, now that I finally have come out of a busy period.  I just wanted to respond and thank all of you for the very kind words. 
But in reality there are many factors aside from me that make this board what it is. 
First, I have an awesome board owner in Jordan Wilson, who, sometimes foolishly so (LOL!) gives me free reign on the board.
First, a have an awesome partner in crime in AggiesAreWe that is always there late at night to help me close out the particular task I am working on.  I have mods that are able to help with the same.
Second, I happen to be in an area where we have coaches who, even though they are under absolutely no obligation to do so, will provide information I request of them in a matter of minutes.  So I ask of you when you wish to criticize them, be mindful of the information that they as a whole provide to me.....and ultimately to you.
Third, a believe this board is what it is because of you all contribute.  Personally, I think this board is at it's best when all of us are contributing and you have certainly satisfied that.  I might not agree with the contribution and when I don't, I will sure let you know.  Yet, it is still welcomed.
And finally, I have a saint of a wife who knows that on the weekend, my presence is only physical.  However, don't weep for her as she finds ways for me to make amends for it!
Now, as to what seems a burning question for some, "How does he find the time to do this?"
What I am about to reveal is known to the staff and some of the Mustang fans.  In March of 2014, a previously diagnosed condition of congestive heart failure had progressed to the point to where I was hospitalized and ultimately placed on both heart and kidney transplant lists.  I was hospitalized for just short of 3 months as I was placed on a left ventricular assistance device (LVAD).......some call it a heart pump.....I lovingly refer to it as "my little buddy."  Some who know former Silsbee and A&M star William Morrisey are familiar with this.  In fact, Moe and I go to the same doctor in Houston.  The LVAD helps me live a normal life and I am currently not in grave danger.  But my condition makes a work day impossible until I get the two transplants above and perhaps even after that.
So absent a work day, devoting my time to the site helps pass the time until I "get the call" and hurriedly rush to Houston.  Given that this board has to do with high school sports which remains in my mind the purest level of sport, it is a labor of love.
That it is appreciated certainly doesn't hurt.  I will do my best as my physical condition allows. 
Now, enough of this, I am busy.  Off to get more stats...no more basketball schedules.......no more football playoff scenarios....no volleyball playoff schedules........What!? Soccer season is almost here!? Sigh!!!!!!!
 
 

Here's a DILLY DILLY Grad.Great work.

How about those Astro's ----
