If I am the opposing defense, I put 9-10 in box and dare Silsbee to pass.
Passing game not near as potent as last year. Silsbee will really need to step that part of their game up in the coming weeks.

Skip only thing that bothers me is those that don't respect those that gave it all or just a body part of themselves standing in defense of our flag while it is being raised/playing Nat Anthem.I consider them that don't remove their cap=weak arses.Many a American parent has endured the perils of conflict=give them some honor too

If player engaged with Defender and another player tries to cut the defender then it's a Chop the difference is even if you don't touch the defender it's still called just the attempt is a 15 yd now 

It's beyond laughable that folks like Hondo21 (with a grand total of 12 posts) make such wild accusations as they continue to grind their axe. The notion that any player is on the field because he is a "good kid" or as Hondo21 puts it "polite and well mannered" instead of another player who is better at the position is so disrespectful to the entire coaching staff it's not even comprehensible. I'm sure somewhere folks like Hondo21 were on the "fire Cornel bus" in 2011 when WO-S started the season 1-3 and then they fell by the wayside as the Mustangs reeled off 9 straight wins en route to the 4th round of the playoffs. Here is a newsflash for all the haters out there........
 
YOU DO NOT WIN AS MANY GAMES AS WOS HAS BY PLAYING THE WRONG GUYS!!!! IT DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT!!! IF IT DID THEN THE RELIGOUS SCHOOLS WOULD RULE TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST CITIZENS!! (insert sarcasm LOL!)
 
It's just absolutely incredible that this many people are so up in arms over this situation after 1 loss to a quality program, talk about fair weather fans. And for all the folks screaming for a change at the QB position I invite you to take a look at the tape because 1 guy does not lose a game by himself. Plenty of blame to go around that's for sure. Were there some passes overthrown, yes. Were there some good passes dropped, yes. Were there other variables that contributed to the loss, absolutely. Please do us all a favor and either get over it, get out, or get on board and support the team. There are plenty of people who would trade places with some of the "ultra complacent" WOS fans. It's obvious that success has spoiled some folks while others remain grateful to be part of such a good program. Think about it......

My objective opinion is that Will is an exceptional athlete. He did an outstanding job against PNG. A team who did not have the luxury of preparing for him. What I'm looking at is the ultimate goal. A state championship. We have had athletes in the past who try to do to much. Force passes when they shouldn't wait to long on passes they should throw and just generally, make bad decisions in paramount games as evidenced by 17 turnovers in 3 regional semi-final games. Dallas has taken his lumps, no doubt, but I think he will gain confidence and become a good decision maker and a good field general. I believe he can become a person who can manage the game. Most state champions today have QB's who do well at managing the game. They don't make mistakes and they don't turn the ball over. The Carthage QB last year was not the best athlete on the field, but he did a great job of managing the game and getting the ball to the people who can make plays. The same with the Navasota QB the year before. They played smart and distributed the ball. Peyton Manning is not the best athlete on the field and neither is Tom Brady, but they have the hardware to prove they are the best choice at QB.
 
None of the QB's of the last few yrs have gone into the latter part of the season with people still chattering about why they are at the position or giving others a shot. Apparently, Jack has earned a shot and any REAL Mustang fan should support that decision. I believe, when all is said and done, he'll be one of the best we've had. Some may like that, some may not, but it's my opinion. Best athlete on the field? Nope. Best choice for QB? I believe so and I believe, given time, he will prove it. So, that's my opinion, take it for what it's worth.

Like this district where all 4 teams make the playoffs:
 
10-4A DII
 
Houston Kashmere
Houston Scarborough
Houston Worthing
La Marque
 
 
Huffman defeated Kashmere soundly
Orangefield just beat Worthing 52-30
Scarborough is currently on a 52 game losing streak and was defeated by Huntington 56-6, Huntington's only win this year.
 
Scarborough will be the first team in UIL Texas high school football history to go 0-11 in a season.

Fran. Do think it's over the top! Maybe, but realistically I can't see any teams playing WOS close in preseason or district. I would even go out on a limb and say WOS JV squad would beat most teams varsity on schedule with the exception of PNG and maybe one more!

6) QB can't make a pass laying on his back and a RB that's not running the ball. Athletic ability is there!!! Take your rose colored glasses off the next time you watch a game.

I nominate for stupid post of the year.    smh

That didn't take long, (armchair coaching).
 
Problem isn't with offense only.  Silsbee lacks tackling ability.  Team score way to easily on the Tigers.
 
Coldspring:  30 carries for 190 yds of offense, TONIGHT. 
Silsbee:  13 carries for -2 yds.  TONIGHT.  (650 lbs of humans that aren't moving anything, useless.)
 
Stop someone then maybe you can criticize the passing offense.
 
We have been spoiled by prolific offensive talented teams.  Be fair when you start judging.
 
They are young.  Put whoever you want in at QB, wont make a difference.

Congratulations to Brayden Griffin (Silsbee) Jordan Gore (Silsbee) Chase Shugart (BC) and Hunter Uzzle (BC) for making the 3A list! Very proud for all of you, great honor!

Just out of curiosity....

Why would it not be a cut 2 seam if the fingers are offset to one side instead of resting equally on both seams? Seems like if you just group them together and say "cut fastball" then instead of saying "2 seam" or "4 seam" fastball all fastballs would just be "fastballs" with no differentiation. As baseball people we all know announcers, catchers, pitchers, and coaches all separate them from one another so to say the pitch is a "cut 2 seamer" would be the proper description wouldn't it?

Congrats to your Tigers on a great season. I know this isn't how they wanted to go out, but they played hard and battled until the end. I was impressed with your Coach's attitude and graciousness in defeat. Your team reflected his attitude as well. Silsbee supporters have much to be proud of.
 
Good luck to the Silsbee Tigers in the future.

Please ignore CSCougs. He's an embarrassment to College Station.

I sat behind a couple of scouts with a gun on College Stations 2nd pitcher. He was consistently 90-92 on their gun while the outfield scoreboard had him 86-88.

You are wrong (again)
 
Griffin and Hartman break 80, seen it with my own eyes.

I think this Senior Class from Silsbee should be extremely proud.  Not just baseball.  The things they were able to accomplish this year (and I know they had help from each class under them) was remarkable across the board.  They were certainly the class of SETX this year.  Great job and all the success in the world as you enter the next stage of your lives!

Who cares how hard they throw? If a pitcher is effective, he's effective. Hell, whether its 75 or 80 you still have to hit spots and throw decent off speed stuff to keep from getting ripped. Obviously that's what the Silsbee pitchers have done all season in order to get this far. So congratulations on a fine season Tigers, you did what you had to do to win games.

I wasn't there so I'm not going to tell you that your numbers are not accurate. I will tell you that I have personally put all the Silsbee pitchers on the gun, a Stalker 2, and their numbers at the time I checked are higher than what you and deputy20 claim.

I agree TxHoops. This Silsbee senior class was one the best athletic classes to ever come thru Silsbee. At least 3rd round of playoffs in football, basketball and baseball the last 3 years, with most those playoff runs ended by state champ or runner up. An incredible run for these young men.

So playoff teams WO-S and Hamshire-Fannett get 4 players each on all-district but Hardin-Jefferson places 6 on all district without making playoffs.
 
Interesting......
 
 
Also noticed a player not on the all district list but was named BE Super Gold. :rolleyes:

Way proud of our young men. Cliche to say it, but will anyways.

Good Luck to Gore and Powell at Panola.

Same to LeBlanc at NorthEastern OK.

Brayden all the best up at TA&M. I know your family is proud.

Go Tigers.

Why is it absurd that he took a shot at Kountze? You and your girlfriend utfan do it all the time.  What's absurd is the fact that you didn't use any punctuation in your statement.
